When studying this course, I never seek to be perfect because I know that it will never be possible for me. I believe that study is for my own advancement, so I don’t feel extremely sad even if I get bad grades for my assignments or quizzes. I’ve learned from my past experiences that forcing myself will bring me down instead. Therefore, take one step at a time, that’s what I’ve learned. No big plans and no sadness over small losses.
