Day 9: Balance

Kris: Cause you need to have checks and balances. You need to tell yourself like,
“I’m doing a good job,” and you also need to tell yourself like, “You’re not doing
good enough.” You need to have that balance, right?
Vanessa: Yeah, and not be too hard on yourself.
Kris: Right.

Vocabulary:
Checks and balances: [idiom] usually this is used about the government to say
that one person can’t have all the power, there needs to be a congress/parliament
to help the government be balanced; but in this sentence, it’s used to talk about
learning something new
Not good enough: something is good but not acceptable
To be hard on yourself: when you work hard and you succeed, but you think that
your work isn’t good; usually a negative concept
