“If a man chooses a certain Way and seems to have no particular talent for this Way, he can still become a master if he so chooses. By keeping at a particular form of study a man can attain perfection either in this life or the next (if a next life is believed in).”
― Miyamoto Musashi

As a child I loved learning a lot of different things, but over the years my learning style got all over the place. I became disorganized and I didn’t focus on the things I liked the most, but instead I learned whatever caught my attention. This is not necessarily a bad thing. I am still fascinated with learning new things. But lately I have realized I am not a master in any of it.

My biggest passion are languages. I love learning languages because I feel that every time I learn a new language, a new door to another world opens for me. Languages are another way of travelling to other worlds, to other times, to other cultures.

I have been studying Korean for 6 years now and I feel that Korean is the language my heart resonates the best with. However, after all these years my Korean is still flat. I thought many times that maybe my efforts weren’t enough. It saddened me a lot. Now I like to believe that every language you learn is a new journey you begin. I guess my Korean learning journey will take longer than I thought. But it doesn’t matter. It is a journey I chose and the one that I might enjoy the most.

I know that hard work pays off. I really believe that with great efforts comes the sweetest satisfaction. Great success never comes easily and I never chose the easy way when I wanted to achieve great things. I know that only continuous efforts will take me closer to my scope, even if the process will take longer than any other. Rather than focusing on the final destination, I decided to focus on enjoying the process and of course never give up on something that I really love. This is valid for anything you want to do. Keep doing it, do your best and enjoy the process. I promise you that one day you will see the results.
