What if we were confined to watching only-God forbid-one TV network? Say, for example, we give up living in the speed culture, forgo the high tech highway, and move to a remote area where finances don’t allow for the luxury of cable or satellite and therefore reception allows for only one TV network. Even if we had a choice, of which station that would be, we might be quite devastated by the sudden loss of hundreds of channels that previously spoiled us.

That sort of happened to me recently-six days ago, actually. I moved into the deepest woodsiest area on purpose, buying a little trailer so I could get away from barking dogs, jungle music and the accompanying jogging on the ceiling over my head, the booming, in-your-face ghetto blasting car stereos, the drunks, the gun shotswell, you get the idea. I did this so I could write, write, write, WITHOUT inane interruption. (Any focused writer will tell you that to even SAY, “I am busy” interrupts the tight and steady flow, breaks into the “zone” a writer has his or her head in.

My friends who accompanied me, had come for the sole purpose of setting up the TV with its satellite dish system. There was a remote too. I was not familiar with either of them. Despite having numerous boxes and bundles to put into their right places, I left it aside to give more attention to the TV. It was only after my friends had left, that I took up to settling the place a little. I had come here to spend a long period. Tired out after my labors, I switched on the TV with the help of the remote. The only channel that I could get hold of was showing a scene full of violence, full of guns and explosions. But I was stuck with it, since I had no idea of how to go about switching channels! And my friends were too far away to help and would return only after a few days!

That’s when I realized how grateful I should be for all the numerous TV networks that we had! Though I had to sit with one channel only, still it kept me from going insane in that quiet place. My mind also kept going round in circles, developing one hypothetical situation after another. Just imagine that there is a boat that can carry only seven people, but there are ten of you. Now try to figure out who will go with you and whom you will leave behind. This was mental dynamics at its most active! Similarly, among all the networks, which TV network would I carry with me into such remote areas if I had a choice? Reality TV had a double advantage–you could hear the news as well. Or I could go for the most popular show which refused to have commercial breaks, such as the Turner Movie Classics. The Indy Channel could also prove to be quite entertaining. If very serious by nature, there were always those educational and informative channels to choose from. Now, which one would I choose?

Wow! It is tough to decide! At least for me! What about you? Let me just say, “Thank you God for providing so many TV networks and so many good artistes! Amen!

This is an essential question for any self study course, even the more expensive options like Rosetta Stone and Pimsleur, but often it is not actually the course that is to blame but the attitude of the person using the course. And it is hard to get the right attitude when you don’t live in a country that speaks the language you are striving to learn.

Regardless of the type of course or software that you are using to learn a second language, the two key factors that will ensure you are successful are consistency and focus. This is pretty much the same for anything you are trying to learn, but it is more important when learning a language.

In reality, you can’t fail to learn a new language because the human brain is wired to pick up languages. But people fail in their language studies because they don’t give themselves a fair chance. They are in a comfort zone and they hesitate to leave it.

It works as so. You have been learning one language since you were a baby. You know how it works and you can express your inner thoughts and feelings with this language. You rely on it to some extent as everybody needs to talk. You are extremely attached to this language.

Unfortunately, this enjoyment of the language may be what is holding you back. In order to learn a new language you have to use it consistently. This means using it everyday. Although we are programmed to pick up languages, it seems that repetition and familiarity are ways in which we learn.

If you don’t live in a French speaking country, you may go for many days without a chance to use French. This is an attitude that has to change if you want any success.

This is where focus comes in. You have to set yourself goals in your language learning that help you to keep learning. You may get frustrated not being able to express what you are thinking and revert back to English. Having a goal can keep you on track. Set small goals and an overall goal (like fluency). Achieving the small goals can keep you motivated.

In this respect, Rocket French can help you to learn French. It has an audio course that you can use at home or when traveling to work each day. It also has an interactive pdf course that helps you understand things like reading and writing, grammar and conjugation. There are three games that also help you learn aspects of the language. Megavocab helps to improve your vocabulary. Megaaudio helps you with comprehension and pronunciation. Megaverb help you with tenses and verb conjugation.

But Rocket French will not help you be successful unless you use it everyday and try to hear and use of little bit of French each day. Ultimately it comes down to how much effort you are willing to put into the learning. The more effort you put in the more successful you will be, regardless of the type of course or method you are using to learn the language.

I dont know of anyone, that has not met a person that has been marked as emotional. If something is going on with an somebody and we cannot explain it, we just say, oh they are being emotional. This does not just come out of thin air, it has to be coming from someplace. That someplace could very easily be the endocrine system. This system is answerable for very much of what goes on in our bodies. Its wellness is important, to our over all well being. If this system is not processing the way it should ,then it does not matter how good the rest of the organs are functioning.

The endocrine system appears like a scary issue. Some of us actually do not really care to find out a lot about it. But isnt it a little unjust to pass judgment that a person as being just plainly moody, without taking the effort to understand just a little bit ,of what could be going on. Dont get me wrong, i did not mean that the endocrine system is the one that are causing everyone’s bad tempers, as the mood can be caused by different things too. What I am saying is, what would we lose to learn more about our own bodies? I mean, lets admit it, we have all been a little emotional from time to time. The trouble is often we reckon that this is a behavior that can be turned on and off, so we tend to snap back at a moody person.

The endocrine system is accountable for discharging internal secretions. Its these endocrines that move about our bodies doing all kinds of different jobs. The female endocrines for illustration, can play a huge role in the mood swings of a lady during, before, and after her menstrual cycles. So thats the reason us women can use, so where does that leave the men? I mean they dont have the female hormones bouncing all over the place. what would their excuse be for being irritable? Just the identical thing, only its the male hormones.

Even in todays advancment in medical research, there is however a lot of disputation considering the outcomes that the male and female endocrines have on a persons mood. However I reckon that married pairs, will be more liable to agree with the theory, that they make. Married Men have get to the point ,where they acknowledge ,that theres in all probability going to be a few days each month that the married woman isnt so nice. Its almost as though the male universe has accepted this as a regular occurrent. Yet women dont give the men the same consideration. When our men are emotional we very rarely would even see it being internal secretion referred.

So basically if we all had a little better understanding of how the endocrine system functioned it might make a significant difference in how we treat, feel and comprehend another. Perhaps then, we would not take the mood swings of others rather so personal. You never know, perhaps then we may not be rather so defensive, which could mean less quarrels. That would certainly be positive to a lot of relationships, not solely between married couples, but babies, family and friends as well.

Its an interesting opinion, to believe that we could have a much larger impact on our daily lives, just by knowing a little more about the human body.

Has anyone not met somebody that won’t get moody at all? If something is going on with an person and we cannot explain it, we just say, oh they are being emotional. This does not just pop out from anywhere, it must come from someplace. That somewhere could very easily be the endocrine system.

The endocrine system is answerable for releasing internal secretions. Its these internal secretions that go about our bodies making all sorts of various tasks. The female internal secretions for instance, can play a enormous role in the mood swings of a adult female during, before, and after her menstrual cycles. So thats the excuse us ladies can use, so where does that leave the men? I mean they dont have the female endocrines bubbling all over the place. So what is their excuse for their possible moodiness? Exactly the one thing, only its the male internal secretions.

Even in todays advancment in medical research, there is however a lot of disputation considering the outcomes that the male and female endocrines have on a persons mood.

Its an fascinating thought, to imagine that we could make a much greater impact on our everyday lives, only by acknowledging a little more about the human body.
