Good to come back to italki :)
Last year I found out this website which provided a platform for language learners from all over the world for language exchange. I wrote the first passage which was also a self-introduction. But since then I did not write a new one any more until now. Before now I always made excuses for not writing short passages on this website such as the reason that I had to spend more time for job hunting or the reason that I wanted to have a rest after work as there was a lot of work in my internship. Actually procrastination and lack of perseverance are real reasons for that.
When I have just graduated from school, I told myself that several important tasks I needed to accomplish including writing and sending CVs to companies' HR departments and practice oral English which one of languages spoken in job interviews. As I ranked job searching and CVs sending as the first and language practicing the second, I always concentrated on job-related thing and told myself that only when I finished today's job hunting tasks could I go to the next tasks--language practice. The usual result is, I felt too tired to go for next task and then allowed myself to postpone it to next day. So the consequence is, I thought like that every day then postponed language practice until now! How terrible it is!
In these days, although I did some preparation before job interviews which were in English, my English is only OK to express my meanings. So I gradually realized that English practice was also an extremely important tasks though it was ranked the second. I also gradually understood that I did not really take it seriously though I knew that it was important. I began to blame myself for not taking time for language practice. I also began to blame myself for poor time management. Of course blaming myself makes me realized my fault and start taking this task seriously. But the more effective way of changing this situation is to take actions, including forcing myself to take some time for language learning and changing my rules of time management. That is what I should do immediately.

I think your English is better than me. It looks like that some people are also facing the problems like I mentioned above when learning another language. But only the ones who overcome those problems can make a breakthrough. Let's become two of those kind people!

I have read your passage , actually i can not correct your english is much better then me but i can share my view on your passage . I am also facing the same problem , i always make any excuse instead of taking action . I think more but do a little bit that's why i can not achieve what i think. I am totally agreed with your opinion that we should stop making excuse and should be very prompt for take any action .
