@Joan Hartwig Thank you teacher for clearing the difference between initialism and acronyms. Thanks 🙏🏻

Pulchritudinous-beautiful or attractive in appearance

@Joan Hartwig Yes teacher, this word doesn't sound like beautiful.😄 Pulchritudinous-physically beautiful or attractive My sentence-My sister was looking pulchritudinous in her wedding dress. I kept staring at her until her friend said, "Stop staring. You are looking at her with open mouth as you will eat her."😂

@Joan Hartwig Thanks for reading my post and giving corrections. Yes, there are two typing mistakes: "Steaming with anger" not "streaming with anger" "Rich Dad" not "Which state" Sorry for these. I will be more conscious next time. Thanks.

Today I read pages 36 to 38. Here is the summary: The author asked what taste of life Rich Dad wanted him to taste. Rich Dad replied that he had 150 employees. But none of them asked him to know about money. Most of them would spend the best years of their lives working for money, but they didn't really understand what it was they were working for. The author and his friend Mike were the first who had ever asked him to teach them how to make money. Rich Dad added that when Mike told him that they wanted to learn about money, he designed a course that mirrored real life to teach them. He said he could talk a lot about that course, but they wouldn't listen carefully. So, he decided to let life push them first, and then he would teach them. That's why he paid only 10 cents. "So what is the lesson I learned from working for only 10 cents an hour?" the author asked. "That you are cheap and exploit your workers?" Rich Dad laughed heartily and then said if the author kept thinking that Rich Dad was the problem, then he would learn nothing. But once he realized that he himself was the problem, he could change himself. It's easier to change himself than everyone else. "Well, if you don't pay me more or show me more respect and teach me, I'll quit." Rich dad replied that that's exactly what most people do. They quit and go looking for another job, or a better opportunity, or higher pay. But most of the time, it didn't solve the problem. "So what will solve the problem?" the author asked. "This," Rich Dad said, tapping him gently on the head. "This stuff between your ears." After that, Rich Dad shared the pivotal point of view that separated him from his employees and the author's Poor Dad and also led him to eventually become one of the richest men in Hawaii. This was the point of view that made all the difference over a lifetime. Continued.... Thanks

I met many teachers, especially on hellotalk, who helped me during this journey. Some of them are really teacher, but some of them who were not teachers but I am calling them teacher because they taught me something. Even a simple word, a new concept, other learners problems, mistakes, I learnt from all of them. They also encouraged me to speak and not quit, but all of them were online. But when it comes to offline or people around me, they always discouraged me with different words, like, since how long you will keep learning new things, there is a specific age for learning and you've already passed that age, why are you pushing yourself, just enjoy the life and leave this madness. I felt sad but it's ok. In such a situation, I always remember a good quote I read, "They are saying that you can't do it. They are not wrong. They are saying because they can't do it. And as they can't do it, they think no one can do it." But I encouraged myself by watching motivational speakers, TED Talks and speeches from famous achievers like Jack Ma, Steve Job etc. Encouragement, discouragement both will be there. It depends on us, to what we pay more attention. Thanks.

I'm learning English because I am a freelancer, and most of my clients are from English speaking countries. Earlier, I had to translate each and every sentence so that I could understand them exactly. My main goal to learn English is to understand them quickly and in a better way so that I can deliver the project exactly as they want. I remember, I talked to a client on video call on the platform that I use for freelancing work, and I couldn't understand what she exactly wanted for her project. I couldn't understand most of the words. I requested her to type what she wanted to say because I couldn't understand her. She was very supportive and understood the problem. Although I completed her project, but it took me sometime, and my client had to do efforts to make me understand what she exactly wanted. I felt bad about it. On that day, I realised that I have to be fluent at least in listening and speaking in order to understand my clients' requirements. Apart from that, I am also learning English so that I can talk to natives speakers. Thanks.
