Once I left home to hitchhike to California with my friend Penelope. The trip wasn’t easy, and there were many times I didn’t feel safe. One situation in particular kept me grateful to still be alive. When I returned home, I was different — not so outwardly sure of myself.
I was happy to be home. But then I noticed that Penelope, who was staying with us, was wearing my clothes. And my family seemed to like her better than me. I wondered if I would be missed if I weren’t there. I told my mom, and she explained that though Penelope was a lovely girl, no one could replace me. I pointed out, “She is more patient and is neater than I have ever been.” My mom said these were wonderful qualities , but I was the only person who could fill my role . She made me realize that even with my faults , — and they were many —I was a loved member of the family who couldn’t be replaced.
I became a searcher, wanting to find out who I was and what made me unique. My view of myself was changing. . I wanted a solid base to start from. I started to resist pressure on can never quispot in ways that I didn’t like any more, and I delight who I really was. I came to feel much more sure that no one can ever take my place.
Each of us holds a unique place in the world. You are special, no matter what others say or what you may think. So can’t about being replaced. You can’t be.

In a village, a dog often shitted by the side of a well.
Several tens of families in the whole village drew water from the well. They all hated the dog, and wanted to tell its master to have it kept under control.
But whenever the people who wanted to lodge1 a complaint against it came near the gate of its master's house, the dog would pounce2 upon them, barking and biting, which frightened them so much that no one dared to come to the house.
It seems that people who are afraid to have their shortcomings revealed are probably like this dog, always trying to block the way so that others dare not lodge complaints against it.
In the past, a man bragged about his bow: “There is no bow better than mine. It doesn't need any arrow!”
Another man bragged about his arrow: “There is no arrow better than mine. It doesn't need any bow!”
At that time, a man good at archery happened to pass by and heard their dialogue. He said: “You are both wrong. One cannot shoot an arrow without a bow; and without an arrow, how can one hit the target?”
Thereupon, the man good at archery asked them to take out their bow and arrow. Then he showed them how to shoot at the target with a bow and an arrow.
Now they understood: A bow won't do without an arrow; nor an arrow without a bow. Theycomplement each other.
Between the States of Jin and Guo was the State of Yu.
Once, the State of Jin intended to invade the State of Guo and had to seek for permission to go by way of the State of Yu. The King of Jin was worried that the State of Yu would refuse to consent.
Xun Xi, a high official of the State of Jin, offered his scheme to the King. He said: “If you offer that piece of round jade and that fine steed as gifts to the King of Yu to ask his permission, he is sure to give his consent.”
The King of Jin said: “The round jade from Chuiji is an heirloom from my ancestors. The fine steed from Qudi is a great favorite of mine. If the King of Yu accepted our gifts, yet would not give us permission, what shall we do then?”
Xun Xi replied: “That is not likely. If the King of Yu does not consent to give us permission, he certainly dares not accept our gifts. If he accepts our gifts and gives us permission, that will be like moving the round jade from the storehouse inside to the storehouse outside, and the fine horse from the stable inside to the stable outside. Why should you worry?”
Sure enough, the King of Yu, coveting the round jade and the fine horse, was ready to give permission.
At this moment, his high official Gong Ziqi quickly stepped forward to dissuade him, saying: “You shouldn't give your consent! The State of Guo is our neighbour. Its relation with us is just like that of the lips with the teeth. If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. If we give permission to let the State of Jin invade the State of Guo, then when the latter is subjugated, will our state still be safe? That absolutely won't do!”
The King of Yu did not listen to Gong Ziqi's advice and consented to the request of the State of Jin.
Soon, Xun Xi led his forces and conquered the State of Guo. Three years later, the State of Jin conquered the State of Yu, too. Carrying the round jade and leading the fme horse, Xun Xi returned in triumph and gave them back to the King of Jin.
Immensely pleased, the King of Jin smiled and said: “The round jade remains the same; only the fine steed has aged a bit.”
