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.

Express to Impress

How to Make a Strong First Impression

1富强粉分几次加入清水，用筷子搅拌成絮状
2揉成面团，盖上湿布醒面
3西葫芦洗净去皮，用擦子擦成丝，要转着擦，当露出瓜瓤就转动一下，逐渐留出柱状的瓜瓤，丢弃不用（我是图省事，也可以切开挖去瓜瓤后再擦丝）
4西葫芦丝中撒少许盐，5-10分钟会杀出不少水
5捞起一团西葫芦丝用双手挤出水分，分次直至全部挤完6肉馅加料酒、生抽、香油、胡椒粉、五香粉、盐、葱姜碎，拌匀调味
 7将西葫芦丝加入肉馅中拌匀
 8面团揉匀，搓长条，下剂子
 9将剂子擀成中间厚，周边薄的饺子皮
 10对着光可以看出中厚边薄的效果
 11取一个饺子皮在中间放上饺子馅
12对折，捏出花纹，一定要捏紧，不然一煮就破
13包好的饺子放在盘子上等待下锅，盘子上事先撒干面防粘
14水烧开下饺子，盖盖，水再次烧开时倒入少许凉水，盖盖，再烧开，加凉水，盖盖，直至再次烧开，开盖，再煮1分钟饺子就熟了
 15盛出装盘，蘸上自己喜欢的料汁，就着自家泡的腊八蒜，再有口小酒，齐了~
