Day 14

Have I been doing things to prove that I can understand difficult concepts? It feels good to accomplish something difficult, but a person produces good energy when she actually enjoys doing what she is doing.

I was reading a book about prioritizing, so I made a list:

1. family
2. writing
3. reading
4. piano
5. exercise
6. German
7. work

Although I enjoy teaching Chinese and I like my students, I don’t seem to prepare for the lessons do when I have free time. I hope I can be a more competent language teacher, perhaps by moving “work” to higher in the list.
