    Accent reduction

    When I was searching for a teacher here, I've been noticing something: some of them offer accent reduction. It's tempting, I'll not lie, but I stopped do think: why?

    Since people can understand you well, I don't see any problem in having an accent. One example: I love Indian accent when speaking english, I don't know why but I love it! It's so cute!

    Also, having an accent can indicate you have strong roots. When I was younger, I would have loved to speak English fluently in at a level where I could be mistaken with for a native speaker. But now I ask myself: why focusing on reducing accent if I can focus on improving it? I can pronounce the words well, they doesn't don't sound exactly like a native speaker but it's accurate.

    I love a Brazillian YouTube channel called "Olá Brasil", where the man who make the videos is from France. He speaks Portuguese very well, but he still has a strong accent. It's so cute! Even living in Brazil, he's still from France after all, he has his roots and he's not ashamed of it.

    And you? Would you like to reduce your accent?

    Eu concordo 100%! É necessério falar dum jeito compreensível obviamente, mas além disso, pra que tentar eliminar um sotaque completamente? Adiciona um pouco de personagem, ne? Por exemplo, eu adoro o sotaque coreano em inglês. É muito fofo e é impressionante também! Significa que essa pessoa gostou da sua língua e se esforçou muito pra conseguir falar.

    Goal 2

    Continuation..

    If you don’t follow your schedule that's ok, the best you can do is recognize that things sometimes don’t work out as we planned, but we you can start again on the next day. 

    Focus is quite important. It's no problem if you had have many projects, but do not try to do them all at the same time or in the same period; instead, put each goal in an order and you can fulfill them in the best way possible.

    Lastly, get away from distractions because when you are focused you need concentration, so leave aside your cell phone, e-mails, and social media. If someone calls you or sends you a message, ignore them (if it's not something really important) and reply later.

    By doing so, we can be more productive and can achieve our goals more quickly.

    Goals

    I was reading an article published by Eduardo Santorini and he was talking about “How to achieve your goals” and he said that we have to be able to make a goal clearly and have a good strategy to achieve that goal. This is a fundamental skill for anyone.

    Unfortunately many people get lost in the meantime and never achieve their personal or professional goals.

    You have to organize your ideas and make a schedule, with topics, and follow them step by step. The goal has to be realistic with a date by  at the end of each step. Keep the whole project in mind, but think of the small parts during the process.

    Start what you wanna (not wrong, but very informal - it's ok if this is a blog/diary/Facebook post or something, but don't use 'wanna' for anything for school or work) do today, don't leave it to for tomorrow, because you'll probably you'll be too late to really start.

    In the early stages of your project, don’t try to achieve perfection. Accept that your first draft will not turn out great. But you can review that work later and improve it.

    Well-written and good advice that I should definitely listen to... haha.

    This amazing person is a doctor, she offered me a job for me, a place to live and a treatment. So I'm thankful, for this person.

    How to find happiness? 1

    Recommendations
    1. Have your physical needs satisfied; food, drink, housing and clothing, and a way to keep getting this stuff, like a job. The last is essential, since it's difficult to think how one who is not nourished and has no home can be happy. Unless you are the kind of person who doesn't feel the need of have a house, because your adventures in the mountains, in the forests or living on the streets somehow makes you happy. This is because living in those conditions let them create good memories basses on their experiences, both good and bad. But, if you do have the need for a ceiling/roof (how do you say in English? - both work, ceiling is the inside part, roof is the outside part), get one.

    2. Analyze everything you have done until now; doing a deep reflection can allow you to understand what has made you very happy until now. Judge each moment you thought was important and why it was. For example: "when I was in highschool and a boy defended me against many classmates, I felt cute, and since that day we have been good friends", "when I visited an electronic store and I won a computer in the raffle they did, before that, I had never won anything", "when we went to Machupichu, I loved the landscape, I couldn't imagine how it was (was because I´m talking about ancient Peruvians) to live daily in high altitude,  always having that beautiful landscape". It's advisable to check each one of these memories that, in their moment and even when we remember them, make us feel good. Asking a few questions about these memories will be very useful for us.
