B+


Yes, its cheesy, but it is so important to BE POSITIVE! Do not underestimate the power of the human spirit, mind and body. Whatever you think might be holding you back, can be overcome. If it can't be overcome, get around it.


When I was 10 years old, I could only speak Afrikaans. We moved to an area of the country where the main language was English, and my first swimming lesson went like this:


Coach:                   Are you new? What is your name?


Little Me:                Yes. Charlotte.


Coach:                   And your surname?


Little Me:                Charlotte.


Coach:                   Nevermind. Just swim 20 laps.



Around the same period, this conversation took place in English Class


Teacher:                Write this sentence in the past tense?


Little Me:                What is a tense?


Class:                     Hahahahahahaha



But circumstances is the best teacher and 2 years later I joined the English First language class, and by the time I finished school I did well enough in both languages that sometimes I don't really notice which one I am busy reading or writing.


I had a point... The point was that your attitude about something makes a huge difference about the outcome. To quote Captain Jack Sparrow:


"The problem is not the problem. Your problem is your attitude about the problem. Do you understand?"
