Are you an optimistic English student?
This week I worked with a student from Italy.
He inspired me because he only paid attention to his improvement.
He noticed that he was starting to understand spoken English a bit better.
What effect did this have?
It made him more motivated to keep improving and keep working on his English.
This created a positive feedback loop and now he is on track for even more improvement.
In contrast another student could have noticed the areas where he or she was not improving.
He could focus on that and that would have a negative effect on motivation and his future improvement.
Here is a great quote:
“Everything you see or hear or experience is specific to you.
You create the universe by perceiving it so everything in the universe you perceive is specific to you.”
-Douglas Adams
