Amiel's Journal

Presently/Currently, I am trying to write in my  diary in English every day, and this led me to google how English speakers write theirs. I typed 'journal' and tons of search results appeared.

 While reading them, I found this amazing quote: "Nothing resembles pride so much as discouragement." It was an excerpt from' Journal Intime' written by Henri Frederic Amiel.

Recently, I have experienced quite a big disappointment( rather big dissapointment ) and difficulties in life so this quote deeply touched my heart/me. It made me to  think about myself and encouraged me to get over whatever it is and move on.

Consequently, I downloaded the book on my Kindle and started reading. Whoa! What a long preface! Besides, It's definitely not easy to read!(not an easy read!). Anyway/However, I will keep reading it following his another saying:

"Conquering any difficulty always gives one a secret joy, for it means pushing back a boundary-line and adding to one's liberty."
