Hi to everyone!
I'm way behind my schedule to write two to three posts every week in order to achieve my goal, which is to write 100 posts by the end of this year, but as the photo of this post says "every failure is a step towards success".
Let's consider that for a while. What do you believe?
Is it true? How do you handle your failures? What exactly is a failure to you?
For example, I don't consider it a failure when my plans are derailed in order to upload two to three posts weekly here on Journaly. I take that exactly as what it is - a derailment.
On the other hand, if I can't manage to write 100 posts by the desired date, which is December 31 of this year and for example, I will have written any number below but near one hundred, is it right to take that as a failure?
A quote says "Aim for the moon and if you fail, you will land among the stars" or something like that. You get the point, I think.
I don't like to take failed attempts as failures. I look at them more as false starts. Like the runner who starts the race before the signal, except that, unlike the runner, I don't have limited attempts.
I never give up. That's my motto.
I always make mistakes in English. I make the same mistakes more than once. That's ok for me for now. Eventually, I'll learn my lesson and stop making the same mistakes - I'll make new ones. And that's what I call progress.
Never give up!
Thanks for reading! :)
* leave a comment about my pronunciation if you like. That was my first attempt at reading loud my articles.
Great post and great initiative. One thing: in the spirit of not repeating mistakes, you should edit your posts and integrate the corrections your gotten... but only after you've understood them completely. For that, you have to ask. I notice a lot of people blindly accept corrections on here wihtout clarifying why they were made and trying to get a lesson out of each one. Feel free to ask me about any of my corrections. Great work!
Thank you for that! I clearly understand the corrections on my posts from you or anyone else. In most cases, when I read the right word/phrase written, I feel like "Oh I knew that! Why didn't I write it right?".
"I don't consider it a failure when my plans are derailed in order, to upload two to three posts weekly here on Journaly" Is this phrase right?
Yes, except you don't need a comma 👍🏻
Thank you! :)
Anytime)))
The pronunciation was good.
Thanks, @Nemvagok. :)
