Great article, Alvaro. Making habits starts the process toward success and achieving even those habits is a triumph. I got a kick out of your perfection comments. I had a conversation with a woman whose grown children were learning Spanish so they could travel. She disparaged her son who traveled before learning to speak Spanish perfectly and fluently. He just learned some basic skills and took off. Her daughter didn't want to speak until she knew the language perfectly. The mother was very proud of her for that reason. I said, "Well, your son will never starve while traveling or sleep in the rain, while your daughter will never be able to get out the front door."

Hi Sue! What often happens to us is that we are afraid to start something we don't think we are ready for. So we tend to over-prepare, as in the example you gave. Of course, the more we prepare, the better, but there are things that can only be learnt along the way.
