Hello everyone. Welcome back to the Daily Vitamin and another lesson with an inspiring quote.
Today we look at one of my favourite quotes, this time from Lao Tzu
The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. (Lao Tzu)
Language students often make the mistake of focusing on what they can't do, or what they don't know. They focus on the fact that they are not where they want to be, with respect to their English level. They think things like, "wow...I've been studying English for 5 years and my level is only a B1-. I must be bad with languages." And those types of thoughts do not make them feel good about their English, so they do nothing. And if you do nothing, then nothing will change.
One of the most important things you can do is take action... get started. That's why I love this quote. You don't have to do a lot today, just do something...get started! It may take you a couple of years to reach your level, but it won't happen until you take the first step... until you get started!
I hope you take that step and that the rest of your day goes perfectly.
I'll see you tomorrow with another inspiring quote.
All the best!
