Sapiens - A Storytelling Animal and His Roles

Image
Homo Sapiens.  We were used to this term specifically with something related to historical subject.

I knew about this book since I was a student at university, but unfortunately at that time I didn't enjoyed reading non fiction book. And for now, I'm so grateful to be the one of the reader. I never imagine if our habits would affect our life at such essential way. Probably if we only mention about changing one or two routines, it wouldn't give much impact. But, in this case, we should change every single bad activity into a good one, only to never stop improving subsequently. Sounds difficult, huh? Not really!

But it's OK, as long as I never stop doing this, at least I would learn something. I decided to learn English consistently since September 2nd, 2022 (Omg, I do remember the date! T.T). I didn't try to do some English level test at the first (I was regret about this), so I couldn't realize exactly my improvement and the differences.
