Reflection Of "The Missing Piece Meets the Big O"

The book "The Missing Piece Meets the Big O" was written by Shel Silverstein. It said that a missing piece ws finding others to let it to fit in. But it didn't find about it. And it was make it's friendship become worsely. One time it meat a big O, and ut asked if it can fit in. But the big O, said that you have to change yourself first. And then asks others to change with you. When it listened about this, it thought for a while. Why I just change myself first, and ask for others. Then It become a circle. And it didn't need any help for others. So, it become a happy "O".

For my opinion, I think that we don't just ask for help. We can change ourself first. And we even don't need others help. When we do our best, nothing is different to us. Everyone is special in the world. We just do ourself, and the world will change by us.
