If there is one valuable lesson about humility and personal development that I learned from the book of Ryan Holiday, "it is the fact that for you to improve, you have to accept the fact that you are not as good as you think."  TRAIN like a NEWBIE in everything.

"You are NOT as GOOD as you think." (EGO IS THE ENEMY."

❌ You don’t speak Spanish badly… you just speak with fear.

En este episodio vamos a romper uno de los bloqueos más comunes (y más injustos) de todos los estudiantes de español: el miedo a hablar.

Spoiler: el problema no es tu acento, no son tus errores, no es tu nivel.

🧠 The real problem is what’s happening in your mind before you speak.

Aquí aprenderás:
✅ Cómo cambiar tu diálogo interno en español.
✅ Por qué hablar con errores es mejor que no hablar.
✅ Frases clave para hablar con más seguridad.
✅ Y cómo dejar de pensar que tienes que sonar perfecto para ser entendido.

🎧 This is your sign to stop waiting for perfection and start using your Spanish. Even with fear. Even with doubt.

Porque no necesitas más teoría… necesitas más valentía.

👉 Dale play y empieza a hablar con confianza.
🔑 Speak with mistakes, speak with fear… but speak.

今天我到外面走走，没想到发现了一大堆蚂蚁正在搬一只死了的虫子。
它们有的拉着脚，有的拉着头，还有的拖着身子 ，
几乎把整个虫子都围住了。可是虫子却一点儿也不动 。
不过，蚂蚁们也没有放弃，依然竭尽全力地拉着。 
最后在蚂蚁们坚持不懈的努力下，终于把虫子拖回了家。
蚂蚁这种坚持不懈的精神值得我们学习吧?
