Fan of NBA

 

Hi there, it's been a long time to update my blog.

The NBA playoffs are coming, and I'm really excited.

It's a little bit funny. I used to hate basketball so much. Because I hate playing basketball, naturally I have no interest in basketball games.

However, dur to COIVD-19, I stay at home last year. And because my little brother love to watch NBA. Therefore, I start to watch basketball games. In the end, my support team ----Bucks got champions in 2021. After watch it,  I'm very moved and know why the NBA makes people crazy.

Now, the NBA playoffs is ready to show up. I am looking forward to that day.

What the goal I want to achieve?

Q:Is there a short-term or long-term goal that you want to achieve in your life? 
What is it? What’s your plan? 

I have a short-term goal right now.

I want to take the TOEIC and reach the graduation threshold of 680 points.

Although 680 points is enough me to graduate, but I want to get higher score.

Actually, I want to get Golden certificate.

My plan is STEP BY STEP!!!If I fail for the first time, then I will try it again.

The practical thing I need to do is study hard, increase my vocabulary, listen Podcast about learning English, read some news from CNN, or BBC.

The goal meaning is that you have to stick it until you achieve it and there is no shortcut to be success.

"A goal without a method is nonsense."

The key to success

 

What do you think is the key to success?

It is grit.

Grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. Grit is having stamina. Grit is sticking with your future, day in, day out, not just for the week, not just for the month, but for years, and working really hard to make that future a reality. Grit is living life like it's a marathon, not a sprint.
