Hello. I have to thank you once again for the new lesson, interesting, useful. I will pay attention on your advice, some of the rules I had to learn while typing my essays or thesis. But repetition is the mother of knowledge, hope the translation from Latin is right. Nowadays I love more to register voice messages, maybe because I have less opportunity to exercise my talking than to write. But I must do both things, talking and writing are both important. All the best wishes, Alexandra |

Dear All,
This is the second time I write in this forum ( I should have done it more often). I have to say thank you to our teacher who keep reminding and encouraging me to practice writing. When I start to write, I find that i make a lots of spelling mistakes (of course i am sure I make grammar mistakes too).
It is very interesting to know the new concept "the law of increased returns". I do agree that practice will help you to do better in certain thing and give you more choices in life. But our life and our time is limited, we have to ask ourselves what is important to us and based on that we can decide where we want to invest our time. We all want to be master in everything but we all know it is impossible. Therefore we should accept that we can be better than other people in certain things but worse in other things. Most important in life is to know how you want to live your life and to appreciate the moment you can spend with your loved ones. My point is we do not have to be perfect in everything but we should try to be better in something which is important to us and if we can. I find that some people want to be very successful in their career and work very hard to learn a lots of things so that they can be very competitive in work, but is that worth? unfortunately, sometimes it is not worth because with all the pressure to be better and work very hard, these people have no time for their family. In that case "the law of increased returns" does not apply as we get the better job but at the same time we may loose our family. We have to remind ourselves that we should keep a good balance in importance things of our life. In order to do so, we have to specify what is importance to us: family, career, friends, money, etc.... and we have to know in which order we want to place these. Actually, these priorities change at certain part of our life. For example, when i was young I did think that career is the most important and now that i grew older and after the loss of my loved one, family is the most important to me.
I hope to receive your comments on my written English, spoken English and on my view. I appreciate it very much. Thank you!
Cheers,
Van |

Hi. I am Alexandra, and I guess in my former message I wasnt replying to the question. I am sorry. So here it is my opinion, I think is the way you presented the things, we will receive back many times what we were offering before, even if the reward will arrive after a period. And I guess people appreciate a lot something that arrives after waiting a bit. I use to be generous, and I like people being the same. After all I am optimistic, and I do believe in each of us lies something good. Wish everybody a nice time Alexandra |

Hey, everybody. I have taken part in this forum since last year. But i rarely aply to there. Eventhough my English is too bad. Howere, consequenty, the letter from Torsten is sent to me, thank you very much. Im a student, and English is very important for me, but im very lazy. So my English skill doesnt improve anymore. So i think it is the "law of increasing returns". |

I have watched this movie, and indeed such a good inspirational movie.
I have been a programmer for 5 years but I still look at keyboard while typing. Not that I am not able to do so, but I think my ability to type with looking is faster if compare to the one without. All I need is more practice to sharpen my skills. |

Preview Yeah, there is! It's like when you're a wise investor. Before you invest on something you have to consider a lot before you come up with a decision. There are so many considerations to make; the risk and returns. After weighing your considerations, it's when you make final decision. You sacrifice for a while, later you'll start reaping the fruit of your well-thought-of decision until it grows and grows bigger, hence increasing returns.
The same thing with proper typing. At first, you don't know how to use the keyboard properly. But when you undergo lengthy process of studying it's proper use, you will start to learn until you become expert on it. When you become expert on typing, you'll be able to use this knowledge in a lot of ways that can benefit you. When you have that knowledge, it stays and all it will do is to provide you convenience and, thus, give you increasing returns. |

Yes! because returns can either be good or bad. If you study poorly, then you'll get poor results on your exams. It's like a machine, when one part is damaged, you would not expect it to function properly.
To overcome laziness you have to be active.
