1% Think small to accomplish big
Welcome to1%Every Thursday you will receive tips and content to help you progress personally and professionally, 1 % at a time. One percent. If you could improve by this amount every day you would be taking continuous steps towards your goal. This is what the greats do and you can too. Michael Phelps began his preparation for the 2008 Olympics in 2002! Six years before the event he set the target of winning eight gold medals. Everyone thought he was crazy. Phelps didn't worry about that though. He focused on what he could control and set about making one percent gains every day (see video below). Phelps knew he couldn't go from 0-100. He needed to make the sacrifices and do the daily work, even if he didn't feel like doing it (he confesses in the video about not wanting to get out of bed on many days...). Because in a society of fast food, fast fashion, fast deliveries etc. etc. etc., some things actually take time, and patience is a necessary virtue. Progress is not always fast, gains are not always obvious, and the fast-paced world we live in is not a good reference for our sense of achievement. Progress is not like Amazon Prime (no offence Jeff). To make progress towards your goal, give yourself the time necessary to achieve it. Set a deadline, but it doesn't have to be tomorrow, it could be in six years like Phelps, or 6 months. Whatever your date, think small to achieve big! And of course, for further help, you can follow the tips and content below. I hope you find them useful. TIPS

Welcome to 1% Every Thursday you receive tips and content to help you improve your English skills, 1 % at a time. In general terms, the Pareto Law states that 80% of results come from 20% of actions. For example: 80% of physical improvements come from 20% of exercises, or 80% of profits come from 20% of customers, or 80% of language progress comes from 20% of activities. So, if we apply this law to your English development, we need to consider the following: What do I spend 80% of my time...
