Well, obviously it’s difficult to get a youngster like you to think these over in terms of the long run. But the long term is there, just as the short term is. You cannot avoid it. Cannot avoid either. You have both and you’ve got to balance them.
If you tell me that can only see the short term for now, that is OK. I understand, because you haven’t seen anything long term yet. All in good time.
I, on the other hand and relatively speaking, have seen some things long term and, tell you what, I find that, today, I can no longer stand anything done for the short term. I prefer values that are wholesome and sustainable to anything that’s tricky and short-lived. Doing things that make you solid and good is what’s sustainable. Utilizing tricks to achieve short-term goals, such as learning tricks at TOEFL schools that help you memorize, say, “Choice C is the right answer whenever you don’t understand the sentence at all” in a multiple choice test are tricks aimed at short term goals. They are not helpful to you in the long run (and are probably not true in the first place).
Because, simple math again, in the long run, when all things are considered, two years’ of good effort is more than that of one year’s.
Alright, that all said, I do have and want to share a few tiny language learning tips with you.
1. Learn something every day – learn a bit of English every day. Actually, learn very little every day. Not too much. That way you’ll never tire of it.
