For children, I would recommend them that to be themselves is the important thing in their entire life. When they grow up, they will face lots of problems and make a lot of choices by themselves. Compared with satisfying other people, satisfying themselves is more important. Just to be themselves when they consider how to choose. To make sure the choice will make them happy and let them keeping it. It is their life. They have to make their choices from their hearts. Make their choice and try to make the choice to be right.

To be themselves and to persevere in their own choice are both important in your whole life. Their hard work will pay off in the future.
