Time is tricky and life is crazy.

My grandma (the good one) used to say it took ages until she was finally 15 years old. Then, before she realized it, she was 65. Life went on at a much faster pace. And now I know what she means. We always say we don’t have enough time to do absolutely anything. There are lots of plans queuing on our list, jostling for priority. And sometimes they are so simple to carry out like going for a coffee with your workmates. Aren’t we just trying to do everything all at once without even considering if that’s what we really want?

Time is tricky and it makes life even crazier.

Maybe the key to succeed (or at least to reduce stress out of our lives) is to focus on what’s really important and do your best. Why should we learn how to speak 634 different languages if , at the end of all that work, we aren’t fluent in any of them? I am not completely happy learning how to say only “What’s your name?” or “How are you?” in another language (maybe “I’m hungry and have no money” would be much more useful!).

Time is trickier nowadays. And life goes bananas!

If you still insist on covering lots of different areas of knowledge, fine. Can I at least suggest an Intensive English course then?
