"Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful." - Mark Victor Hansen

Isn't that silly? Who knows how much "time" I actually have. There is no way to guarantee that we will see another day, but we assume it is true. We take many things for granted until it is too late.

I wanted to add a video for you and I chose "perfect" by Alanis Morissette. When you listen to the lyrics it is quite a sad song (about how parents push their children too hard sometimes). No one is perfect...neither are you.

Listen to this song and remind yourself that your English does not need to be perfect. No one is perfect.

How many times have you told yourself that you would start studying English when __________________? Your blank could be ...

"when you get that a new course",
"when you have more time",
"after your holidays"
or just "later".

Stop trying to wait for the perfect time or moment or else you will be waiting forever. If you want to accomplish something just do it. Ignore the urge to wait for perfection. Perfection does not exist.
