Facing Setbacks with a Smile

I love singing very much and I entered a singing competition last year. Every personaround me said， "You are a talent. You will sure① become a great singer when you grow up.Therefore， I had confident② in myself. I thought I would at least reach the finals. However，there were too many competitors who sang much better than me. I was knocked out in the firstround. I couldn' t help cry③ sadly.

But my parents told me not to cry. "You should dry your tears. Be brave and keepsmiling." They were right. Failure is not the end of the world. What matters is how to face itcorrectly. Face setbacks with a smile and then you'll successful④ in the near future.
