3. Do things you're good at (do I?, still doubt)
4. Let your heart be your guide (still trying)
5. Stay inspired
The good members here on EC do their "level best" to help learners while encouraging the spirit that resides within them.

During my very brief time posting here, I've read many of your comments via blog or main chat. Some of those typed and very well pointed words have true purpose. A few of them don't.
My kindest advice would be this, "Write, type, and think, before pressing "SEND".

Huff......the exhausting days are over now. I can breathe easily. Time to go online and do some pending works from my boss. I look at my laptop, oh ..dear, sad moment come to my mind. Oh no...I have to move on my life. I turn it on and I remember one of my colleagues said to me that I have to learn a lot and try to thank more for the chance given to me. Okay, I can accept that.
I visit Mypage on English club then read blogs. They are all very interesting but sometimes I can't understand some sen

3-The leader passes a two digit numbers the first digit shows how many letters of that word are in the target word (4) And the second one shows how many letters are exactly in its right place (1).
as you see in the example L,A,M and E are

In fact, I'm not a super fan of candies but I can say I enjoy eating sometimes a bar of white chocolate. Its flavour is very different of brown chocolate. It's like a milk in a bar shape. It's very soft, creamy and it's used to melt quickly inside mouth. It's advisable to consume a half of a brown chocolate bar, because it's good for heart health say doctors. Particulary, I don't like brown chocolate because I think it's a strong taste. This way, brown chocolate an
Last night Tintin could not sleep properly, around 4 A.M she rose up. There was no chirping of morning birds. May be they were also in their deep sleep. Only the sound of a dripping tap was coming towards her ears and it was too annoying! So, she got up and went towards the direction to stop it.
Tintin fears from darkness so, always likes to sleep with a dim light. " But what's happened today, why there is darkness all around?" It seemed she felt stifle." I must see what is going on". As she

Which will you choose to follow ?
Your Mind or Your Heart?
The journey is never easy.
What we say and how we post our sentiment here on EC can often be misinterpreted by others from different beliefs and cultures.
To me, "It's always good".., A healthy respect for learners and non native speakers is a prerequisite when considering what's posted.
If Noas wishes to post a travelogue of her visit to Australia, if Mickey writes about "The Captain", if Shaw chooses to share his creative paintings..etc...etc..
Please, give them the creative freedom to do so. This
