Neither does he have time to work harder at basketball, because he still has to study. He wants to go to a good university, but he also wants to play basketball,Ma Jie thought of some ways to solve his problemHe first wanted to focus on school，and only to play basketball at the weekend。but he found two days a week was not enough for training basketballThen he tried to study lessbut he failed two exams and his parents were very disappointed,At last，he thought about quitting basketball，but he found if he did not play, he was not happy He was rather confused. It made him feel like he would never be really good at anything unless he gave up everything else that he liked to do0ne day, Ma Jie talked to me about his problem and asked me to help him,I talked with an older student about Ma Jies problem and asked for adviceHe made some good suggestions that were really useful. He suggested that Ma Jie should talkwith his parents，his teachers and his coach about what he was thinking,As they all care about him， they certainly should be able to help him work out a solutionAfter Ma Jie did what he suggested, his parents began to understand their son much betterNow they do not ask Ma Jie to spend more time studying his lessons and allow him to spend more time playing basketball,
