Pingpong: introduction in three parts

A regular habit




 First of all, I see myself as a non-morning person. I usually get up quite late as I thoroughly enjoy working at night and my brain always starts working after the sun goes down. So, I believe this might not be a good habit for an ordinary life, but I guess a lot of people do so. 

“Good Morning my afternoon”: I would say that when I wake up every day, when I normally get off  bed around noon and start on my routine day like taking a shower, brushing my teeth, drinking water, exercising, checking email and social media, and then doing whatever job has to be done today. My breakfast rarely had it sometimes, but mostly I have only an afternoon meal and a small dinner around 7 or 8 pm. After that, I will drink only pure water during the night until I go to bed.   

When I consider the cycle of everyday life, I’m alway asking myself, “Do I feel bored with what I am doing?”,  “What is the key to happiness?” and “What is  the meaning of life?”  I habitually think over and over again about this, but I have no answer yet, but I hope one day before passing away I will be lucky enough to find it.

Zemach's most useful strategy

        From my vantage point, “Practice” is likely to be the key to success in learning any language, not only English. Language needs time and practice over and over again in order to get it absorbed in the long term memory. Personally, I try as much as possible  to practice reading, listening, and speaking English almost everyday to improve my English proficiency because I am aware that I wasn’t born in a native English speaking country. Moreover, when I was a child I didn't have a good chance to study in a prestigious school like some people. On the contrary, my school is kind of a free-study school with a small number of teachers in my school and most of the teachers are not certified. Anyway, I never thought I could speak English or other languages other than my mother tongue language until I found the key to improve my English skill is trying to practice it in every situation: speak as much as you can, listen to everything in English, and spend at least 20-30 mins writing something, for example writing a diary or commenting on a blog. Just anything in English as little or as much  as you are able to. I believe that not sooner or later you will surprise yourself by being changed in a positive way. 

In conclusion, improving English or other languages skills is just a matter of time: the more you dedicate yourself to it, the more you can elevate your capability. I see myself from day one up to now,during which  it totally took more than ten years to learn this language. I always realized that English language is a dynamic and lively language which means we need to catch up and practice it all the time. 

Finally, I would say “Practice” is most likely  key to achieving your goal in learning English,  However, If you do not agree, I’m very happy to hear from your perspective.

  1. The same as me I always ask myself, “Am I happy now with my daily life?” and “What am I living for?” I think it’s a philosophy question and I don’t think anyone will think of this. I’m really grateful to found someone that always asks these questions. I don’t know the answer to these questions too but recently I read a book for the one who doesn't know what they really want to do. This book has a quote that I think it’s very cool! “Maybe we don’t need to know the meaning of life but just live your life meaningful” I really agreed with this, just enjoy your life and make your every single day meaningful.

  2. My own natural tendency is to get up late and work late. Unfortunately, I sometimes have morning classes, and I don't cope well with an irregular schedule, so I get up 7:00 AM every day, even though I would love to get up around 11:00 or 12:00 and work at night until 2:00 or 3:00 AM when everything is quiet.

  3. As an evening person, I totally have the same lifestyle as you. Since my brain works effectively in the evening, I usually go to bed quite late and wake up 9:00 PM. However, recently, I have tried to be more productive by waking up earlier and go to bed before 9 PM. Unfortunately, this routine doesn't work well for me. As a result, I think that being an night owl is not bad as loing as you can balance your work and rest times appropriately and make sure that you do not push yourself too much.

    1. As I had already suggested in my comment above, I would also prefer to be a night owl, which I think actually makes me more productive. When I have been able to fit my daily routine to going to bed at 2:00 or 3:00 AM, the absence of disruptions at those hours, and the quiet, allows me to do some solid work.

      Now that I think of it, the current Covid restrictions also reduce interruptions. My home is on Silom, and these days its deadly quiet after dark, not at all what it used to be. There is almost no traffic or other noise in my soi, and of course no one is out visiting and almost no one calls me after 7:00 PM these days. There really isn't much to do except stay home and work, or watch NetFlix.
