Favorite Speech

Alexander

Perhaps all of us have a favorite speech delivered by an important person in history. For me, John F. Kennedy and his challenge to America to "send a man to the Moon and return him safely to Earth" is the most insperational speech I know of. 

The most important line in this speech is;

"We choose to go to the moon, not because it is easy but because it is hard."

"Because that goal will serve organize and messure the best of our energy's and skills." 

I find this apply's to learning English or any language quite truthfully. 

We do not learn another language because it is simply easy and fun to do so. We do it because we love the challenge of exploring a new way to communicate. While doing so, if you have fun then thats a great side-effect. :)

So keep up the challenge. Send yourself to the moon.
