When I was learning French in middle school, my parents put me in French immersion. So half my classes were in French. This means you learn a lot more, much quicker.
If you want to achieve anything in life, I strongly suggest you rearrange your days, make some sacrifices and go all in to immerse yourself so that you can see rapid improvements.
Do this for any topic, or for work, relationships, your health, languages, etc.
Sometimes it works out how you wanted it to. But usually there is a little variation from your dream. Regardless, in the end, it all works out. I hope you like how the story unfolds.
If you don’t, put more positive effort in and see what happens.
Every time.
…With enough information.
This is a great line. I recently heard it while listening to Morgan Housel’s book, The Art of Spending Money. Brilliant book, as was his previous one.
If you zoom in on a behaviour, it might look irrational without the context. However, with enough information, usual patterns can appear, psychology and physiology can explain quite a few things and nature is more apparent.
If a behaviour you’ve witnessed doesn’t make sense to you, gather more information. Because all behaviour makes sense, with enough information.
Trying is useless. Unless you’re willing to exhaust all possibilities.
When I hear someone say they’ll try, I usually don’t hold out much hope. I will though, if they are the type of person who will exhaust all possibilities before they conclude that they have tried and failed.
Too many people think trying is thinking about getting something done, if they have any spare time. They make a half-hearted effort with no consequences for failure. Don’t live like that.
Exhaust all possibilities. There is no try.
State your case with benefits to all, not just you. How will this solution help all the other people involved? The more you help them win, the more likely you are to win.
