The hardest thing to do is keep trying hard to achieve our goal when we see no signs of change. This is because our brains like observable evidence that our efforts are getting us closer to what we want and who we want to become. 1 So how do we keep motivated and continue fighting when it seems to make no progress?
Keep a detailed daily record. Write down any and all observable changes, even if you feel like it's not worthy to write down. Those kinds of changes usually do not continue in our memories, so we may not be able to notice all the changes that are actually happening. 2
Don't compare yourself with anyone else. Celebrate what is happening in your journey rather than looking at someone else's path and thinking about what happened to them. 3 You don't need to come in "first place".
Question your expectations. Remember to often ask yourself: 4 Unrealistic expectations fuel frustration and disappointment and can be difficult for you to recover from when unmet.
5 If you stare at the minute hand of a clock, the passing of an hour will seem like a lifetime. When you are working on a goal, it is important to diversify (使多样化) how you spend your time. Doing so will reduce your disappointment if your goal is not happening fast enough.
A. Have a life outside of your goal.
B. Remember that life is not a race.
C. However, things don't always go smoothly.
D. What do I expect to achieve by setting this goal?
E. Undoubtedly, our efforts will pay off sooner or later.
F. Are my expectations of how and when I meet my goal realistic?
G. Small changes, when gathered, eventually lead to the big change that we long for.

[重庆巴蜀中学2025高一期末]"Makan already?" Do you understand what I am saying?
I exist at a 1 between two worlds, one distinctly American shaped by my upbringing here, the other an echo of my Malaysian heritage from somewhere remote.
A three-week stay in Malaysia every few years is often the 2 of my summers—the country is a food paradise. But besides the family, food, and escape that Malaysia offered, I got a taste of a(n) 3 in my own culture. I became a girl lost in translation, passively absorbing various 4 shouted between the stands in the wet markets, and quietly 5 along at my grandparents' huge family dinners.
In America, though, I am a 6 person. As a native English speaker, I don't think twice about my grammar when speaking. I don't 7 with the words and fear that my messages and stories won't 8. In Malaysia, everything about the way I 9 gives me away. Maybe my face could pass for a Malaysian local, but once I open my mouth I am so clearly not. In the place that I'm 10 to call home, my privilege and power are 11, skinned off layer by layer each time I naturally 12 out "Have you eaten?" instead of recalling the Malaysian 13 "Makan already?". It is 14, but it doesn't bother me, for I know Malaysia, where my family roots lie, contributes to my 15.
