The reality of life is all down to science. Any problems you have in life will become worse unless you keep your feet on the ground, head help up high and try to understand what the problem is rather than trying to avoid the problem. It can take years and years to solve the problem. From plenty of experience, my problem never goes and will always be here with me, I've had to become very stubborn, and giving up is going in the wrong direction. With learning a new language, linguistics, this is a form of science, social science, and while learning either every day, or just weekends, the fact is with enthusiasm, you're going in the right direction, and sooner rather than later you will have more self esteem, confidence and understanding of yourself.
