영어공부] #49 100일 챌린지 중 30일 마무리!!
1일 1문단 외우기 ==> 같이 하기
*쉰살이 넘은 저는 아직도 영어를 배우고 있습니다. 제가 올린 내용에 혹시 틀린 것이 있으면 알려주세요. 저 계속 배우고 시포~~요~~~~ 그리고 [구독] 과 [좋아요] 꾹~ 눌러주세요~!!
안녕하세요,
직장인의 새해 결심에 영어공부는 늘 빠지지 않는 항목이지요. 저도 늘 그랬구요. 연초에는 각종 스포츠센터, 헬스클럽, 영어학원 등이 만원 사례라고 하지요. 그런데 보름이 지나면 그중 50%가 빠지기 시작한다고 해요. 1월이라고 야근이 없겠어요, 회식이 없겠어요?^^
그래도 꾸준히 이어가게 하는건, 같이 함께 하는 겁니다. 저는 12월 중순부터 1일 1문단 외우기를 페북 친구들과 함께 하고 있습니다. 어떤 날은 건너뛰고 싶은 날도 있는데, 이렇게 함께 하니 정말 한번도 안빠지고 하게 되더라구요.
클리쉐 같지만, 혼자가면 빨리 갈 수 있지만, 같이 가면 멀리 갈수 있습니다. If you want to go fast, go alone If you want to go far, go together.
작년 12월에 저는 영어 공부차원에서 이 100일 챌린지를 시작했습니다. 이 챌린지를 혼자할까 하다가, 페북에 올려서 페북 친구들과 함께 하자, 라는 생각이 들었습니다. 현재 18명의 페친들과 함꼐 외우고 있습니다. 사실 영어 공부때문에 시작한 것이였는데, 물론 영어 공부에 도움되구요, 추가로 하루하루의 문장 내용이 너무 좋아서 외우면서 명상도 되고 개인적으로 동기부여를 받습니다. 정말 “뿜뿜" 그 자체입니다. 혹시 제 페북에서 함께 하고 싶은 분은 여기 링크입니다. 페친 신청해주세요!~
아래에 30일간의 여정을 모두 붙여봅니다. (대부분의 출처는 여기. 아닌 것은 인터넷에서)
Day 30] You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something—your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life. (Steve Jobs)
공감가는 말입니다. 믿음이 중요. 당시에는 몰라도 되돌아봤을때는 모든게 연결되니까요.
Day 29] Adult life is dealing with an enormous amount of questions that don't have answers. So I let the mystery settle into my music. I don't deny anything, I don't advocate anything, I just live with it. (Bruce Springsteen)
Day 28] I always did something I was a little not ready to do. I think that's how we grow. When there's that moment of "Wow, I'm not really sure I can do this," and you push through those moments, that's when you have a breakthrough. (Marissa Mayer)
Day 27]
Each time you try something for the first time, you will grow. A little piece of the fear of the unknown is removed and replaced with a sense of empowerment. (Annette White)
Annette White는 버킷리스트 관련 책을 쓴 작가네요. 새로운 것 하는 거 두렵지요. 이 마음이 오늘따라 더 리얼하게 느껴집니다. 그래도 그 후 보상은 엄청 크리라는 것도요!
Day 26] You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make. (Jane Goodall)
Day 25] It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all – in which case, you fail by default. (Joanne Rowling)
고딩때 외웠던 표현 기억나시나요? might as well not~ 하지 않는게 낫다. (학력고사 세대 ㅎ)
Day 24] If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you much not stay there, you must go beyond them (Bruce Lee)
Day 23] On street corners everywhere, people are looking at their cell phones, and it’s easy to dismiss this as some sort of bad trend in human culture. But the truth is life is being lived there. (Ze Frank)
Day 22] If you hire people who can do a job, they'll work for your money. But If you hire people who believe what you believe, they'll work for you with blood and sweats and tears. (Simon Sinek)
Day 21] Always aim high, work hard, and care deeply about what you believe in. And, when you stumble, keep faith. And, when you're knocked down, get right back up and never listen to anyone who says you can't or you shouldn't go on. (Hilary Clinton)
Day 20] I have great respect for the past. If you don't know where you've come from, you don't know where you're going. I have respect for the past, but I am a person of the moment. I am here, and I do my best to be completely centered at the place I am at, then I go forward to the next place. (Maya Angelou)
Day 19] Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street. Fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening. (Coco Chanel)
Day 18] I always say a squad is like a good meal. I’m not a great cook, but a good meal takes a wee bit of time. But also, to offer a good meal, you need good ingredients. (Brendan Rodgers)

Day 17] The great secret that all old people share is that you really haven’t changed in seventy or eighty years. The body changes, but you don’t change at all. And that, of course, causes great confusion. (Doris Lessing)

Day 16] Love is friendship. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses. (Ann Landers)
Day 15] Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you did not do than the ones that you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. (H. Jackson Brown)
Day 14] There is no need to worry about mere size. We do not necessarily respect a fat man more than a thin man. Sir Isaac Newton was very much smaller than a hippopotamus, but we do not on that account value him less. (Bertrand Russell)
Day 13] To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give. That takes courage, because we don’t want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt. (Madonna)
Day 12] Do stuff, be clenched, curious, not waiting for inspiration’s shove or society’s kiss on your forehead. Pay attention. It’s all about paying attention. Attention is vitality. It connects you with others. It makes you eager. Stay eager. (Susan Sontag)
정말 파워풀한 말입니다. “주의를 기울이는 것"이 시작이네요. 그래야 간절함이 생기는.

Day 11] Do you love me enough that may be weak with you? Everyone loves strength. But do you love me for weakness? This is the real test. (Alain De Botton)
Day 10] Without pain, there would be no suffering, without suffering we would never learn from our mistakes. To make it right, pain and suffering is the key to all windows. Without it, there is no way of life. (Angelina Jolie)
Day 9] There are four questions of value in life. What is sacred? Of what is the spirit of made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same. Only love (Johnny Depp)
Day 8] I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control, and at times hard to handle. But if you cannot handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best. (Marylin Monroe)
Day #7]
They've promised that dreams come true - forgot to mention that nightmares are dreams. (Oscar Wild)
Day #6]
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. (Bernard Baruch)
해석을 나름 해보면,
자신 그대로 살고, 느낀대로 말하라. 왜냐하면 (우리가 그렇게 하는 것을) 신경쓰는 사람들은 우리에게 중요한 사람들이 아니며, 우리에게 중요한 사람들은 (우리가 그렇게 하는 것을) 신경쓰지 않는다.
Day #5]
If you believe in what you’re saying, and if you believe what you’re doing, you will be more effective, more passionate, and more authentic in everything you do. (Seth Goldman)
Day #4]
If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with.
Day #3]
The winners in life think constantly in terms of I can, I will and I am. The losers, on the other hand, concentrate their waking thoughts on what I should have, what I would have done, or what I can’t do.
Day #2]
We all want to be in love and find that person who is going to love us, no matter how our feet smell, no matter how angry we get one day, and no matter the things we say that we don’t mean.
Day #1]
Brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls aren’t there to keep us out. THe brick walls are there to show us how badly we want things.
