I think that a person can overcome his difficulties with his willpower. I mean a person can have health problems or some school subjects can be dificult.  It is important not to give up! So the world gets an educated and strong-willed citizen. The more good people there are in the world, the better our life becomes.

To my mind it”s very important for everyone to have their opinion and share it with others. When people speak about what are thinking of, they can  help each other, exchange their experience, understand each other better and find new friends. I think it makes our planet a better place to live! =)

I think that power is not in  one man.  The power of one man and power of all people are different things. For example: One basketball player can’t win a match. It is  easier when you are in a team.

In history of Russia was periods when the people helped each other and acted together. So they won the Great Patriotic war.
