This post isn't directly connected to language learning, but it is related to motivation, which is a very important characteristic that most successful language learners have.

A supervisor recently sent us a quote by Bruce Lee, which I thought was interesting, since Bruce Lee was an actor and a martial arts legend. Apparently, he was also a bit of a philosopher! Our supervisor also recommended that I search for other quotes by Bruce Lee. There are many sites on the internet with famous quotations, but on this site I found a few that I especially liked. They are:

Some thoughts for people learning new languages:

-What are your goals for learning a new language? (If you've not set goals, it may sound like a strange or new idea, but you should try it!) 

-What motivates you to learn a new language, and what things slow you down? 

-How can you overcome the obstacles that slow you down?
