Recently, I'm working on some stuff that are quite motivating. So today I'm going to talk about them.
One is that the book I'm reading for my Reading class.
It's a biography of Nelson Mandela. Before I read this book, I knew little about him.
But by reading it, I was surprised by the fact that he was in prison for nearly 20 years for treason crime. What is more, the condition of the jail was harsh that his eyesights were damaged. But even under the condition like this, he continued studying in prison and finally was able to get out of the jail. How can you imagine being confined jail for nearly 20 years? And not giving up? I think his unyielding spirit is what made him a historical giant.
The other one is the video that I'm working on Listening class. On this video the speaker talks about the importance of grit. She started teaching when she was 27 years old. Then she realized that IQ score is not reliable factor when measuring children's ability. Instead she found that grit is the most important thing by studying psychology.
Although keeping motivated is not easy, I thought trying hold them as much as I can is important to achieve any goals.
