Meet my darling; her name is Sophie, she's a cute two year old and she is my housemate's daughter. In a very short time, she became so fond of me, and me of her.
At the time I moved into that house, Sophie only spoke baby languages, I never understood what she always said. However, when she had her lovely cute smile on, I'd know she's excited, and then when she had her loud screams and cries, then I'd know she's sad about something.
Well, long and short, her baby language was so fluent.
Every time I got back home, I'd wear my biggest dimpled smile and I'd say to her "Hi darling", Sophie always returned the smile and would speak her baby language that I hardly ever understood. This happened for weeks, and then one beautiful evening, I get back home, looking forward to seeing this cutie, I open the door, and there she is, giving me the cutest baby smile ever and then she goes, "Hi darling". What!!! What did I just hear? O well, I didn't hear wrong, I really heard that from her mouth, I was so shocked, and so was her mum. It was hilarious, I was laughing so hard and I replied "Hi darling, how are you?" and she goes "how are you?'' and I go, "I'm fine" and she goes "I'm fine" I was so enjoying this moment; I didn't quite want it to end, but you know what a very busy day can do to you.
That same period, when I'm leaving, I'd tell Sophie, "See you soon", and amazingly when she comes to my room, and is about to leave, she'd say, " See you soon" with a very serious face. Just look at that! *smiles
Other than the humor this experience had in it, I understood again that the more you stay around, someone, the more you become like it.
Just look at this; just by saying some things to a two year old who only spoke baby languages, in a short time she began to say the exact things I was saying to her, how much more adults.
The key point here is this,whatever it is you want to be or to achieve; you've got no worries, achieving it is very possible. However, you need to begin to be around people, and the environment who fluently speak the "language" of what you intend to be or achieve. I need not ask if you want to be great, as I know you want to be.So..... begin to stay around those people who speak the language of greatness, the language of hard work, the language of diligence, the language of effective time management, you name the languages and in no time, effortlessly, you'd have become so "fluent" in whatever it is you wanted to achieve.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Loads of Love,
Smiling D.
