Oh, I should start again, huh?
Yeah, this is the case for so many of my students.
A lot of DDM, a lot of PERF students.
They start studying with me and they stick to it.
They don't give up.
And my goodness, after a year, after two years, after three years, you wouldn't believe the difference in English ability.
They're much more comfortable speaking English, listening to English, talking in English.
It's so great. I really love it.
So whether it's learning English or learning anything, another language, another skill, another hobby, a job, being a parent.
Okay, seriously, you need to stick to it.
You need to focus. You need to never give up.

Every successful person has stick to -ativeness.
So, me, I'm not successful yet.
