Listen, listen, listen ...... to game BGMs

Listen, listen, listen ...... This is an advice from a English teacher who has influenced my learning style of language. After taking his advice, I listened to his lesson audio files and news spoken in English over and over again. I'm not sure if this has enabled me to speak English without efforts, but at least I have been much more familiar with spoken English as well as written English.

In this week, I listened and listened on the train to work as usual, but it wasn't spoken English. I listened to a soundtrack of a video game, my favorite genre of music. I've been so tired recently that I didn't want to listen to any spoken language except for ones essential to my daily life and my work. Instead, I wanted to focus on listen to music to feel better. This is a rare thing since I took the teacher's advice. I noticed that I have listened to spoken English almost every day for 6 years, without any 3-day break. There may be some days I didn't listen to music, but I began to listen again in 2 days. This is the first time I missed to listen to English 3 days since I took the advice. I have been so tired that I really to wanted to focus on my favorite game musics.

Even now, while I'm thinking that standard social skills in business scenes is worth learning, I scream to myself getting mad when I learn them.  Isn't just shaving my beards enough to be a salesperson? Am I going to be disadvantaged forever because the skin of my face and my head is too dry? This is one reason why I thought that I wanted to escape my country when I was 11 and 25. This made me learn some foreign language. However, I'm learning that overseas isn't so good as I dream about, especially as long as I go to public school. W...

It's my lack of confidence that is to be beaten

Autism, is it something to be removed? Or is it just another type of human being? I can't answer to this question. I, as you see, have language, and have a job. Although my struggles are real as well, I hear that there are a lot of cases of struggles many thousand times than mine. Ones who don't have language, or with serious behavioral problem. Although my behavioral problems, mainly social awkwardness, I can't answer the question whether autism is something that should be beaten. Instead, I can answer one question. I have to beat my lack of confidence through long struggles, if I want to succeed.
