Learning German When Life Gets In The Way
How did I get through the last meeting knowing I had no motivation at all? It is sometimes hard to do what you want when so many other things get in the way. Life 101 turns up to spoil what you are doing and makes you look foolish or lazy. But we are neither foolish or lazy if we feel a lack of get up and go. We are all subject to limitations and sometimes we need to take things easy for a little while to allow our natural processes to recover. I was really exhausted trying to learn German last night. I guess that is why our body needs sleep and rest and recreation. Even though some cars are capable of tremendous speed, the driver has to slow down at some point on a highway to merge with the flow of traffic. So too does the mind and body need to slow down to maintain peak efficiency.
