My favorite motto

I am going to talk about my favorite motto. I bought a nice calendar which is written many kinds of good phrase like proverb. The only way to prove it is to do it yourself. It is one of the phrases I like. I took the exam to study abroad and I could pass the exam. I really studied hard to pass it. My parents said to me, "You have to think about studying abroad more seriously if you really want to do that. It doesn't matter for us whether you can pass the exam or not. It depends on your efforts." So I did. I think if you want to prove something, you have to do it yourself. I was lucky to know the phrase before I took the exam to study abroad.
