Steps that influence me a lot in English

Hi my dear Blogger, it’s farid here. How are you? It has been a long time I've been dreaming to write in a blog. Welcome to my podcast.These steps keep my momentum of English learning energetic. It’s amazing right? What four steps I am trying to elaborate here? I know some of you may have applied these steps. Anyway, I am eager to sharing…

Let’s go with the first step, WHAT is your goal in English learning? What is your purpose to learn English? Be clear of your goal. For me, I want to get proficiency in English. I want to be able to write in English with proper grammar and speaking English fluently. That’s my goal. Remember, your goal is very important. A car is impossible to reach its destination without a clear direction. Your goal is like a map. It can ensure that every step you move forward is on the right path.

The second step, WHY do you want to achieve your goal? Take a while longer in this step because it will bring huge impact into another two steps. Try to find benefits that you are going to earn once your goal is achieved. For me, I will get career advancement, connecting to the world, gaining dignity, easily access to IT knowledge and a lot more.  All the benefits are like vitamins. Our body needs vitamins to stay in shape, so as our brain.

The third step, HOW to achieve your goal. I know you are longing for immersing yourself in those benefits that you list out. To accomplish them, you have to ask yourself, what methods you can apply in order to attain your goal. Reading accordance my level and listening to simple English are my major formulas to win the race. By the way, I learn the art of flexibility. I will gradually move up the level of English stuff. Why, because I want to go deeper of my English competence all the time. So ask yourself what strategies you can harness to help achieve your goal.

Congratulations, if you well prepare for the first three steps. By the way, let me introduce you the last step. It’s the strongest step. Without this step, your entire goal will only evaporate into the air. That’s to take action. Action is paramount. Nothing could be achieved unless taking action. Let me borrow an old saying, action speaks louder than words. The first in the mornings I will do is to question me, what I can do today to my English proficiency. Before going to bed, I will ask me another question, did I use today as an investment for my English proficiency. Sadly, action alone is not enough. To succeed, you must take action consistently with intense energy and sheer concentration.

p/s: Hi my friends, I am keen to seeing your comments here. Share with me your experience of applying those steps. Thanks for your time.
