studying mud
I cannot speak English as I did before—it doesn’t mean I could well before. It’s been more than year now since I came back from the U.S.—I will never be able to say again “I just came back from the states, so please forgive my rudeness” or something like that spring from the feeling that I don’t want to be involved in Japanese expressionless. I still feel out of place.
Anyway, I think I forgot how to speak English now, even though an amount of reading is much increased. Is that true of everybody? If so, other guys probably forgot everything. Yeah that’s true. I myself studied Chinese for years and was capable of using it—at least I think I was—but I couldn’t think of what to say when I happened to have a chance to talk to a Chinese in Washington after I stopped studying Chinese. I got shocked then, but the thing that I had to study English hard had me forgot about it. Well I want to study Chinese again; on the other hand, I cannot just let my English getting worse.
Studying, not only languages but also any fields, is like climbing up a mountain by bike. You have to keep hammering down the pedals. If your efforts slacken off, you’ve got descend dangerously, because bicycle isn’t made for backing up. You’ll tumble or fall down. If you quit on the way to the tip top, you shouldn’t even think you will try. There are two choices whether you complete or never try. Halfway skill, education, etc. are harmful to you, in that you, ten to one, misunderstand that you can use them as if you are at home.
So, it sounds pretty hard to learn something. I don’t want to do anything. However I also believe one thing that one the way to the summit, there must be some half landings where you can take breaks, where you can be relieve that you may not roll down from there. However those landings don’t allow you to stay long. Somebody will fine you park there.
My friend said that studying is like throwing mud onto a wall; and most of them just fall down. But someday, someday it will stick on the wall and get firm. I want to testify that was true.
