In this episode we are using a quote from modern day rapper, author and philosopher Robert Gwisdek from his fictional tale, The Invisible Apple, and in German, Der Unsichtbare Apfel. In this episode we are exploring the dilemma of seeking guidance or trusting one’s intuition.

I want to speak English; this is the wrong goal!

Do you want to be more motivated to achieve your English-language-related goals but sometimes feel demotivated?

Do you feel the desire to achieve the goals faster but see yourself at a slow pace?

And do you believe there are methods to help you?

If you'll turn to psychology and look at solutions for your English language-related goals, you'll find something I am here to help you gain—the understanding of secondary gains!

In psychology, a secondary gain is when you benefit from a problem. It’s when you receive advantages from unwanted conditions, circumstances, or limitations. In other words, you benefit from not overcoming problems. 

It doesn’t mean the problem is positive, but the benefits of having the problem support you in keeping it rather than solving it.

Secondary gains are guides to help you get unstuck. They’re an invitation to understand the advantages you receive from retaining problems instead of solving them.

In simple terms, you crave attention and accidentally injure yourself. As a result, people care for you. You get what you want (attention), but at the expense of what you don’t want (injury).

Is it now clear to you? What are your secondary gains from not following through on your language learning goals that you benefit from?

This might be a game-changer for you in learning to communicate in English confidently and fluently.

Give it a go and allow yourself some space to think and resolve some uncommon issues. Good luck.

德国商业银行表示，市场可能会认为，与美联储或欧洲央行相比，英国央行更为谨慎，这可能会在今年削弱英镑。外汇分析师在一份报告中说，英国央行的立场让人担心他可能在加息方面较为落后。这位分析师表示：“因此，在通胀数据依然高企的背景下，货币政策仍是英镑的负担因素。”分析师指出，英镑明年可能会继续走软，因为英国央行可能会由于经济疲软和通胀有所下降而降息。

Mere paas Maa Hai, I have my mother
Let’s break down this iconic dialogue:

मेरे पास (Mere paas): ‘I have’ or ‘I possess.’

मेरे (Mere): My.
पास (Paas): With or near.
माँ (Maa): ‘Mother.’ This is a simple yet profound term for ‘mother’ in Hindi.
है (Hai): ‘Is’ — This is the present tense form of the verb ‘to be,’ used here to indicate possession or existence.
