Some words about what "form scratch" means and how we feel about it Starting from scratch is a common way of life, I guess. Each day begins...from scratch. As we can see from the dictionary there are two ways of starting from scratch: either "without any previous preparation or knowledge" (like learning a foreign language or doing a new course) or "from the very beginning, when you don't use any of the work done earlier". Considering the options, a question occured to me: how do we feel in both situations? In the first situation a person probably feel excited and thrilled because they are going to enjoy new experience, they are about to get new experiences. They are full of anticipation. The latter situation is obviously connected with the results that didn't live up to a person's expectations. Perhaps, a person feels exhausted and relactant to begin again. Fortunately, people have no option but to start again, FROM SCRATCH. I say "fortunately" because I believe that a person who tries and doesn't give up will succeed in the end. What do you think?
