Hi everyone! My question is...
What's your favourite motivational quote?
You can say it in your native language and explain it with a simple translation if you want :))
One of my favourite ones is...
It always seems impossible until it's done.
Sembra sempre impossibile, finché non ce la fai.
(Nelson Mandela)

Quite a lot actually, but the one that sticks with me since the beginning of my learning journey is:
"You don't have to be great to start, you have to start to be great."
I think it's already been interpreted!

I definitely love that quote from Nelson Mandela that goes "if you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart"
I personally love this one since it motivates me to further learn languages and connect with people from all over the world.

"A poor carpenter blames his tools."
Esta frase podría traducirse como: "Un mal carpintero culpa a sus herramientas" o "Un pobre carpintero culpa a sus herramientas".
Me gusta esta expresión, porque me ayuda a recordar 2 cosas:
1) Si ha realizado el trabajo para obtener un alto nivel de habilidad, entonces la calidad de sus herramientas no importa.
Y también
2) Es fácil culpar a nuestra situación por nuestros problemas, pero probablemente podría lograr más con los recursos que tengo.

It is simple. But, One of my favourite phrases is: Repeat after me I can do this. When I’ve had difficult times I use to tell myself this phrase.
