Do you find it difficult to learn a foreign language successfully? Here are some tips to help you out:
1. Listen and read every day!
Listen no matter where you are on your MP3 player. Read what you are listening to. Listen to and read things that you like, things that you can mostly understand, or even partly understand. If you keep listening and reading, you will get used to the language. One hour of listening or reading is more effective (有效) than many hours of class time.
2. Focus on words and phrases!
Build up your vocabulary — you will need lots. Start to notice words and how they come tog
ether as phrases. Learn these words and phrases through your listening and reading. Read online, using online dictionaries, and make your own vocabulary lists for review. Do not worry about how correctly you speak until you have accumulated (积累) plenty of words through listening and reading.
3. Take responsibility(负责) for your own learning!
If you do not want to learn the language, you won’t. If you do want to learn the language, take control. Choose content that you want to listen to and read. Pick out the words and phrases that you need to understand your listening and reading. Discover the language by yourself, like a child growing up. Talk when you feel like it. Write when you feel like it.
4. Relax and enjoy yourself!
Do not worry about what you can’t remember, or can’t yet understand, or can’t yet say. It does not matter. You are learning and improving. The language will gradually become clearer in your brain. So sit back and enjoy. Just make sure you spend enough time with the language.

Why you should think big
If you have something valuable in mind, a service to offer, or an idea to develop, then you present it to everyone to increase its scope(范围). Why not make full use of it?
The fact is, when you have a strong enough vision(远见), you may have the courage. And then you simply have to pursue it, however crazy it might seem to others.
Remember that everything starts small
Rome wasn’t built in a day. Everything starts small. Scientists say that everything in the universe came from a smaller unit than you can possibly imagine. So it doesn’t matter where you are at present, because from small beginnings come great things.
Think bigger by enlisting(争取) others
To think big, you need to see yourself as a small part of a greater whole. Enlist people who are better than you. If you’re not the most organized person, don’t just be unhappy about it; find someone who is better.
Big thinkers know their personal limitations(局限性). Gather people around you who can do what you can’t do to make sure your dream grows.
Think big by focusing on future regrets(遗憾)
There is an old saying, “We regret not the things we did do, but the things we didn’t.” You’ll never know how far it could go unless you see how far you can take something.
If you have big plans, just close your eyes. And strongly imagine how regretful you will be if you don’t try or attempt properly.
Feel that it is your human duty to think big
When something is probably a real service to mankind, then it is a human duty to think and act big. Even if you don’t succeed at last, it is still valuable to think big.

Enriching your life means making an effort to make your life as meaningful and happy as possible. Though you may have difficulty realizing it, there are endless steps you can take to experience new things, gain knowledge, and appreciate (欣赏) what you already have.
Learn to forgive others. If you often hate other people around you, then you won’t live a wonderful life. So learn to move forward and accept nobody is perfect and that everyone makes mistakes. If someone has really hurt you and feel it difficult to accept that person’s apology (道歉), then be honest about it. Don’t pretend (假装) that you’re okay and then go on complaining. This won’t get you very far.
Volunteer to help others. It will not only be good for the people around you, but also make you able to connect with different people who can influence your life just as positively as you can influence theirs. You can work in a homeless shelter or help do the cleaning in your neighborhood.
