Karate kid

In the movie "Karate Kid," there's a beautiful scene where the child, Jayden, goes to the karate teacher to learn karate. The teacher instructs him to hang his shirt on the clothes hanger in a specific way, then tells him to throw his clothes on the ground and pick them up again, and then rehang them. Jayden is taken aback because he expected to start learning fighting immediately. He thought what he was doing here had no value, but he was completely wrong. "Eduardo Briceño," a specialist in self-development and success strategies, says in a great TED talk where he simplifies the easiest way to excel in anything, which we can call "side roads." Our friend divides the paths of progress and development into two areas: 1- The learning zone 2- The practice zone Most people focus on practice and believe that practicing something alone is sufficient for progress in a specific field, which is completely wrong. You can speak English for ten years but still struggle with pronunciation and articulation because you're not trying to improve in the learning zone. But to master anything, you need to spend some time in the practice zone and master some side skills that contribute to the heart of the goal. In his lecture, Eduardo gives a beautiful example of a philosopher named "Demosthenes." This philosopher and orator was one of the most important and powerful speakers in Athens and the most important lawyer in Athens, a man who spoke with all the meaning of the word. How did "Demosthenes" reach this great status?! For example, this man hesitated to speak when faced with noise and commotion in the courtroom and among the crowds. So he used to deliver his speeches by the sea, facing the roaring waves, noise, and commotion. With time, he became accustomed to speaking in the most noisy places without hesitation. There are many examples, but the idea is clear now: side skills lead to success. Returning to the movie we talked about at the beginning, the karate teacher forced Jayden to hang his shirt and perform some movements to give him quick agility. He programmed the body to perform those movements easily. What he was doing was not considered part of karate, but it was helping him. Once again, side skills help you succeed. In learning English, for example, you can watch movies with focus and concentration on the language used. By doing so, you acquire a decent fluency in speaking English. Read a beautiful novel in English; you'll learn writing and grammar. You're not learning here, but you're reading and watching movies with a focus on some useful aspects. In the end, you reach the goal you want, which is excellence. In TP4 Foundation courses, we teach children many side skills that help them develop their ability to converse in English. Such as speaking while playing, moving body language and integrating it with spoken language, and the student plays competitions based on speaking the language.
