collection “Kinder- und Hausmarchen,” known in English as “Grimm’s Fairy Tales,” is a timeless literary masterpiece. The brothers transcribed these tales directly from folk and fairy stories told to them by common villagers.

How Many Friends?

The old man turned to me and asked
"How many friends have you?"
Why 10 or 20 friends have I,
And named off just a few...

He rose quite slow with effort
And sadly shook his head
"A lucky child you are
To have so many friends," he said

But think of what you're saying
There is so much you do not know
A friend is just not someone

If you want to be really good at something, you might need to spend your whole life practising ... or ten years practising ... or at least six months!



A hundred years ago, most people understood this. Nowadays, people want instant results

For whatever you want to do, here's a strategy ... practise every day, but don't expect to see progress every day!



If you are:

* getting your body fit

* learning a language

* refining your golf swing

* taking singing lessons

* learning a new sport, beginning a hobby, starting a new career ...



give yourself enough time.



Get a daily plan, stick with it ... AND allow yourself time to improve.



You might see little progress in a month. Give it six months of effort - or a year of effort - THEN assess your improvement.



Most people quit too soon!
