Into the book
Among the many notes taped to my desk, one stands out the most: my life motto, a phrase that has helped me achieve great things and small things along the way.
“Play incremental long ball.”
'Incremental' means 'gradual', and 'play long ball' means 'to fight a long-term battle'.
It means that if you work hard every day with sincerity, rather than hastily and in a rudimentary manner, you can achieve things beyond your imagination.
I know all too well that learning English is never an easy journey.
But one thing I am sure of is that after countless frustrating days, you will eventually reap a reward greater than you could have imagined.
For those who haven't yet received such compensation, I hope this book will offer a shortcut.
I hope this book will serve as a solid foundation for your long journey of learning English.
