What is the allure
of a new language.
At my bedside is a
French learner novel and a pocket French-English dictionary – more so
English-French in daily life, given the weakness of my French vocabulary,
normally curious about French equivalents to English words but instead what
helps to get me out of bed in the morning is the harder challenge of French to
English.
Reading a sentence
in a foreign language that requires me to look up a minimum of two words a
sentence in order to follow the storyline of the novel.
Test yourself,
seek out a challenge that will better yourself and give you pleasure.
The right choices
in everything are the surest antidotes against the scourge of boredom.
I do understand
that depression, anger turned inward, is not something that can be walled off.
Imagine this,
though. Putting your choices on a spectrum between very happy and very sad.
Hone your choosing skills (this based on the cruel premise of the fortune of
birth) in a way the will give priority to the “happy” side of the spectrum.
