"continuous effort, not strength or intelligence is the key to unlocking our potential"
Said or wrote Winston Churchill.
The karate master Mas Oyama stated this and I feel I have ignored hard work as of late and become lazy.
I have lost my psychotic commitment to weightlifting and fitness and just loaf around in bed all day crying despite having a job.
I used to think as a child that seeing people getting killed from a young age would prevent me from living a normal life but I am now coming to believe that with much effort a normal life is possible for someone like me.
On a lighter note a Japanese lady told me to use あなた not きみ and the very next day I bought an Anata wrapper from a Kurdish shop!

Deutsche uber alles
I am planning on going to Germany in December and will be studying German! I havenever studied this to any great level before and am defo looking forward to it.
My biggest mistake in learning Japanese was that I ignored grammar and this put me back about two years.The worthless motherfucker who was paid a fortune to purportedly teach me Japanese did fuck all to teach me, but I was naive and foolish in ignoring Japanese grammar and it hit me like a tonne of bricks.
I have a masterlist from yonks back translated into German and I had a boss time reading through this.
I still blame education
I wasted six years in the education system. I was livid then I started, livid then I got A levels and livid then I got my degree.
Here are my criticisms in full:
1 I was the model student in French and Spanish at A level and got offered to go to SOAS, the best language college in Europe. I hated college and spent all day in the gym and running about twelve miles.
I only learnt by teaching myself.
In one module at university I was the only person who didn't have a digital camera and failed because I didn't have a digital camera. In the translation module in my final year I got lower marks because I didn't take pictures of foreign cities because I couldn't travel abroad.
Incompetent students received degrees to meet targets.
The lecturers didn't do anything because they didn't want to loose jobs.
