Motivational Tongue Twister of the Day

Hey there tongue-twisters and tale-tellers!
This is Sean:)
 I write this blog and some of the tongue-twisters. I don't write ALL of them, but I do write MOST of them. With THIS one, I wrote MOST of it, but SOME of it was from a sports drink commercial on tv;) 


Win from Within, Through Thick and Through Thin,


Win from Within, 

Through Thick and Through Thin,

Before You Begin, 

You Can Win from Within.



Before you Begin, you can Win from Within



The Lesson? You never know when and from where INSPIRATION will strike!

If you are ever looking for that WINNING EDGE to achieve your goals, 
just remember....


Win from Within, Through Thick and Through Thin, Before you Begin, You can win from Within.
Win from Within, Through Thick and Through Thin, Before you Begin, You can win from Within.
Win from Within, Through Thick and Through Thin, Before you Begin, You can win from Within.


#1    WITHIN
"Within" is "with + in", and in this sentence, means "inside yourself", like "with you" and "in you" at the same time!

#2    THROUGH 
This word looks very difficult to pronounce, but it's actually pretty simple;). It's like this: TH-R-OO, it is pronounced the same as THREW, the past simple of THROW. Try it, THHH(bite the tongue) RRR(lift tongue in the back) OOOOO(make an O-shape with your lips). Nice)

#3    "Through Thick and Through Thin"
This is an idiom, or a common expression in English. The meaning is: "In good times and also in bad times". Thick is like fat, so thick means in good times (with lots of money and food). Thin is like skinny or slim, so thin means in bad times (with little money and food). 

#4    What's the Point????
Well, the point is....you can win by looking inside yourself! In good times and in bad times, if you concentrate on your goal and how to achieve it, you can be a winner....even before you start!!

OK tale-tellers and tongue-twisters!
See you next time!:)
