I always strive to be optimist, as i know that i have more stamina for landing my goals😍...when we are pessimist, definitely we edge toward failures.;hence ,make point of achieving your goal ,whenever it possible .if you have failed in your life then resume again the place where you have failed and you will be able to bounce back...if you grab it feet ,you will be failed again and again, simply because make moves on achieving your targets ❤️

1:43 I noticed, that you pronounce the "a" particular in the sentence "...is a boring life". What's the meaning of that?

[@LovelyEnglishStories]

Hi Ralf, If you could let us know the timing of this we can have a listen and get back to you. We try to switch between the schwa sound and a more pronounced sound when it comes to the definite and indefinite articles in our stories - purely to help learners hear the pronunciation a little better.

[@shanmugasundaram1017]

"She had her work visa in her pocked and a heart full of hope and enthusiasm." Is it 'pocked' or 'pocket'? Could you confirm, please?
