I wish i was patient enough. <I>~~~~~~~~ I know what you mean by having a lot of things you want to do - time is precious. For me, this process of learning to tell jokes was time well spent. Spending three days out of 365 that are in a year isn't that much - especially considering the impact it has had on my speaking skills. Besides, it's not like I locked myself in the house the whole time. I'd review the joke as I was doing other things, like walking to the subway, as I brushed my teeth, or making dinner. Sure, I did make a point to stop and practice the joke, but certainly not for hours on end. It was a small thing with big results.

I know what you mean by having a lot of things you want to do – time is precious.

For me, this process of learning to tell jokes was time well spent. Spending three days out of 365 that are in a year isn’t that much – especially considering the impact it has had on my speaking skills. Besides, it’s not like I locked myself in the house the whole time. I’d review the joke as I was doing other things, like walking to the subway, as I brushed my teeth, or making dinner. Sure, I did make a point to stop and practice the joke, but certainly not for hours on end. It was a small thing with big results.

Thanks for stopping by!
