Dear Lily: Something is troubling me a lot. My parents have high expectations of me. They think Tsinghua University is the only university that is worth going to. They told me that academics came first and have cancelled all my after-school activities, so I can stay at home and work. I feel very frustrated. What should I do? Yours, John

You can tell them that everyone dreams of success, but in the real world there are many things that we can't control, despite our best efforts. We'll never be perfect, but building a good reputation is something that every person can do, whether they reach the top of society or hold the humblest occupation in the world. I think your parents will understand you better after you discuss your worries with them, then hopefully you can be happy again.
