"Without some goal and some effort to reach it, no man can live." "Without some goal and some effort to reach it, no man can live." — it's a famous quote by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Our modern competitive life makes us fully understand how true this statement is.The instinct of achieving something throughout our lives has been given to us by Mother Nature in order to survive. Our world is developing as rapidly as it's never been doing ever before, which increases the level of competition, making us set new goals and develop way more and faster than our ancestors had to. Unlike old times, when the physical strength was the main factor of having a long and joyful life, now we have to use our minds instead of muscles and no one can say which of this is more difficult. So we gathered here to reach one of our common goals — to be able to learn other languages, which also has become a highly required ability for reaching success nowadays. Even though the members of this website have something in common, our main goals are absolutely different: someone needs languages for their job, someone dreams of moving to another place, someone wants to discover new places. We're different, but we go through the same difficulties on our long and thorny way towards our aims. Yet it's tough, achieving our dreams is what makes us human. So, set new goals, work hard and never give up, this'll make you feel proud in the end. P.S. Native speakers, how would grade this little article from 1 to 10? I have a dream of having a job, related to writing in the future, do you think it's possible to do if English is not my native language? Do I have a chance at least?:D Thanks for your attention.
