TEA Time Story # 5 Sheriff Pritchett 

Think of a time when your friend wanted to buy something, but you didn't like it. What did you say to him/her? 
Listen to this conversation:
Louise: Here is the dress I love. What do you think? Does it look ok on me?
Zoe: Well I'm not sure. 
Louise: Why what's wrong with it?
Zoe: I don't think it suits you. It's a bit short. Why don't you try this black one?
Louise: But what's wrong with this one?
Zoe: If I were you I'd try the black one. I think it looks great.

#4 早起（はやお）きは三文（さんもん）の徳（とく） // N3 Level

As a pessimist, you might view language learning as hard work—and you’re not wrong.
Language acquisition requires effort, repetition, and managing confusion.

Here’s the beautiful part: Pessimists tend to manage disappointment better than idealists.
When you anticipate difficulty, you're less likely to be devastated by it.

In psychological terms, this creates cognitive resilience—the ability to stay in the game even when things go wrong. You expect challenges. You face them head-on. You recover faster because you weren’t expecting ease.

You might never say, “I’m going to be fluent in a year.” That’s okay.
But you might say, “I’m going to keep learning, even if progress is slow.”
And that is the spirit of persistence.
Don’t try to change who you are. Just learn to steer with it.
Pessimism doesn’t mean you’re giving up—it means you’re prepared to endure.
And that, my dear listener, is what long-term success looks like.
