You Only Live Once!

You only live once!

Here at スミス 英会話 長岡京 we know the road to success passes through failure.  This is especially true of 英会話 study.  Not only must we practice grammar, vocabulary and conversation, but we also must attempt to use it (perhaps failing at first) in the real world.

We know this and yet how many times do we pass up a chance to say something because we are afraid?  Whether it is asking a question in class, asking someone you like on a date or even asking a stranger for help, we let many opportunities pass.

As a reminder of how courage – facing your fears – is sometimes rewarded, have a look at this inspiring video.  In it, an audience member asks to play onstage with Billy Joel.  Of course, this student had put in a lot of practice and certainly did not fail here – but the point is he took a chance.  It is a wonderful example of practice and courage rewarded.

As you challenge yourself to be equally courageous in your learning, remember: Nothing ventured, nothing gained!
