Looking at the glorious Olympic champions on TV, many parents will envy that if their children can one day stand on the podium of the Olympic Games and bring honor to the motherland, how exciting and proud it should be!
Olympic champions are the honor of the country, the honor of individuals and families, but under their aura, they are also hidden and countless bitterness and tribulations, and their countless hard practices have achieved today's glory.
The inertial power of good habits
Good habits have a profound impact on a child's development. Most of them are not talented players, and those dazzling achievements are earned bit by bit. For Olympic champions, the starting point of an Olympic dream is the love and dedication to a sport; for children, the starting point of becoming an excellent person is the yearning for a better future. The inertial power of habit is enormous! Once a behavior becomes a habit, you don't have to deliberately continue it.
Just like we as learners know that it's important to have good reading habits, but how many people can stick to it? Giving up is a simple thing, but by developing good habits and staying disciplined, you will wait until more "freedom". With the continuous improvement of reading ability, the amount of English reading will continue to increase, and you can read more freely, broaden your child's knowledge, and express it fluently and confidently. In English reading, I feel the progress and achievements of English learning, which further stimulates my interest in learning.
Rigorous and hard training
One minute on stage, ten years offstage. The same is true for Olympic champions. They began rigorous day-to-day training at a very young age.
When 17-year-old Su Yiming confirmed that he had won the championship, he hugged and cried with the coach, this gold medal was not easy to come by. In an interview after the game, he said that from the age of 14 to 17, he has been training hard every day for the past few years, "After this moment came, it was really exciting." In fact, Su Yiming's efforts for skiing began from an early age. In order to ski, Su Yiming can not sleep, complete homework in advance, and insist on going up the mountain with frostbite on his ears. In order to unlock a new action, Su Yiming practiced for 6 hours a day and kept repeating the practice.
Success is definitely not accidental, if you want to become a champion, you need to bear the pressure that ordinary people can't bear from a young age, eat the pain that ordinary people can't eat, only practice day after day, and the results of your efforts will eventually give you a satisfactory answer.

So, you also feel that insist on reading punch cards every day, vocabulary practice... Is it difficult? Is it an unfinished task?
Self-discipline and restraint
Every parent wants to develop good children, and self-discipline and restraint are one of the prerequisites for becoming good. Today's children are most likely to be seduced by various environments around them, and they are easily defeated by their own laziness. So become excellent, one day like an Olympic champion, standing on your own podium, you need to learn self-discipline and restraint.
Language learning needs to be adhered to for a long time, but in the learning process, there will inevitably be inertia, there are "three days to fish and two days to dry the net", at this time self-discipline becomes very important. Self-discipline is to demand oneself, to change passive to active, is the formation of habits. Persistence is a manifestation of willpower, but also a manifestation of perseverance.
Can't eat bitterness, how to taste the sweetness brought by success? People who only talk about harvest and do not talk about paying can never pick up the enviable laurel. The reason why Olympic champions can "stay up" stems from their self-discipline, good habits, and perseverance, hard-working spirit. In the same way, you are surrounded by good character and learning, not that they are talented and intelligent, but that they have good study habits and perseverance.
