Self-reliance

For me, self-reliance is to be independent
It is to make decisions without others' consent
It is to stand up for truth and for what is right
It is to be strong during a fight

Self-reliance should also be unselfish
Relationships with others should not diminish
It is to believe in yourself as others do in you
Self-reliance should be practiced by me and you

Life is a tough battle
Sometimes, it becomes a shaking cradle
Count on yourself to survive in the end
But don't ever forget your friends
