S ome Ways to Have an Amazing Day
Here are a few tips for making sure you can answer the pop quiz of life confidently:
Be kind.
How often do you stop to talk to the people you encounter every day? Do you know the names of the people at the bank, the grocery store, or restaurant? One great way to get more out of your day is to fill it with people you know. The best way to know more people is to be kind to everyone you meet. Take a moment to learn a little about them.
I avoided saying “Stay Busy” because sometimes we can fill our day with meaningless activities and feel busy but then at the end of the day we look back and realize we accomplished nothing. A great way to stay productive is to look at the things you would like to accomplish today, this week, this month, etc. and then plan some time to work on each of them.
Look for ways to serve.
I truly believe that giving meaningful service to other people is the greatest key to our personal happiness. It may be just a smile and a “hello”. It may be just a phone call to tell them “thank you for being a friend.” When we serve other people, we develop personal joy.
Find a purpose.
The happiest people have one or more big “life goals”.When we have a big goal that we feel passionate about we become more excited to work on that goal every day.
When you give yourself the pop quiz at the end of the day, you will be ready to say you did everything you could.
A. Keep learning new things
B. Make the most of every day
C. Stay productive all the time
D. Try to do more in your everyday life
E. It may be helping them with their work
F. It has been said that you can measure a person by how they treat the people who can do nothing for them
G. It may be to run a marathon, write a book, start a business, develop a product or learn a new hobby or profession.
A. It sounds too good to be true. B. However, nobody is "perfectly fluent" in any language. C. Quick fluency is good if you have some sort of deadline. D. But have you ever considered what fluency really means? E. But does fluency have the same meaning to other person as it does to you? F. Unlike perfect fluency, native-like fluency is a reasonable and attainable goal. G. To assist you in determining what fluency is, I'll describe a few different types of fluency. |
You might dream of fluency in this or that language, and maybe you have already achieved fluency in a foreign language. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
Fluency, like all abstract terms, has no universal meaning. Each individual must determine what the term means. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}
Perfect fluency means knowing each word you encounter, speaking quickly, clearly and easily and having no accent. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} You aren't familiar with every word of your native language, and sometimes you have to search for the right word, even in your mother tongue.
Quick fluency is the type of fluency you see in advertisements, because "Master a Language in 2 Months!" sounds very catchier than "Fluency in 20 Years!" {#blank#}4{#/blank#} It is possible to achieve quick fluency, but the fluency achieved after such a short time frame will be a very thin, superficial fluency.
{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Native-like fluency means that you generally know all the same words that a native knows and can speak at the same pace with the same amount of ease as a native speaker. You will likely have an accent, but as long as your conversation partner can understand you, it doesn't matter.
Literary fluency is like graduating from native-like to educated-native-like fluency. It focuses on the more intellectual side of a language: including in literature, attending university, composing song lyrics, etc.
There are a ton of other things that fluency could potentially be, but that's up to you to figure out.
