My favorite rule to live by is to only concern yourself with what I can control. it helps me to be more more effective because I use my time to control everything I can and don't waste my time worrying about things I can't control.
I speak English, Spanish, and French. French, I learned from Tahitian friends living in Hawaii. Spanish, I learned from visiting Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic over many years and speaking it at home when my daughter was little (her dad is Latino). And I find it comical that although I went to Japanese school for seven years as a child, I unfortunately don't speak Japanese at all.
