Right now, I’m learning French, and I keep my reasons and goals written down, sitting in front of me, so I can always remind myself. |

Emails I have to send. And my language goals are in there too. Simply putting your goals down on paper probably increases your chance of success by 90% Chigusa, 90%... |
