NCE3 L1 A puma at large

昨天看Eric在公众号写文章纪念晨读一周年，真的很佩服啊，关注他的公众号开始就发现这个年轻的小伙子很不一般，特别能坚持，他倡导做好每一件小事，而这正是我最缺乏的，所以毅然关注跟随，可惜从读书群到晨读群，我没有一个好好坚持下来。上一本新2虽然4期都报名了，可是真正听课完成作业的次数也就一半左右吧，总是会在有事干扰的时候就轻易给自己放假了，然后再因为头一天的放弃第二天又没预习怕自己读不好就干脆继续偷懒了，最后恶性循环，以致于最后2周基本都缺席了。

新的一天，新的一期晨读群，新的一本书，于我自己也是新的一年，重新开始，希望明年今日我也能写上一篇纪念晨读一周年，加油！
