中文故事

从前，一个名叫亚历克斯的年轻学生感到缺乏自信 (confidence)。他认为自己的想法并不重要。这种思维的惯例 (convention) 让他很害羞。他请了一位导师 (tutor)，一只明智的老猫头鹰来帮助他。猫头鹰不喜欢亚历克斯悲伤的心情。猫头鹰咕咕地叫道：“你的想法是短暂的 (transient)，但它们产生的意义 (sense) 可以作为治愈 (cure) 自卑的良药。让我们来练习分享它们吧。” 亚历克斯虽然紧张，但还是开始说话。每分享一个想法，他的自信就增加一分，证明了猫头鹰的智慧。

英语故事

Once, a young student named Alex felt a lack of confidence. He believed that his thoughts were not important. This convention of thinking made him shy. He hired a tutor, a wise old owl, to help him. The owl didn't fancy Alex's sad mood. "Your thoughts are transient," hooted the owl, "but the sense they make can be a cure for self-doubt. Let's practice sharing them." Alex, though nervous, began to speak. With each shared idea, his confidence grew, proving the owl's wisdom.
