真正聪明的将军，不是那种要打完仗才能赢的人（就算所有人都说他厉害），也不是那种只能看到肯定会赢的人。
这就像：
能拿起一根很轻的羽毛，不能说力气大。
能看见太阳和月亮，不能说眼睛好。
能听见打雷的声音，不能说耳朵好。
所以，那些很会打仗的将军，他们赢，是因为打败了本来就容易打败的敌人。他们的胜利看起来很简单，没有特别厉害的名声。为什么呢？因为他们只在有把握赢的时候才打仗。他们先让自己变得很强，不会输，然后才找机会去打敌人。不会打仗的将军呢？他们是先冲上去打，然后希望能在打的过程中找到赢的办法。真正会打仗的人，会管理好国家，遵守规则，这样他们才能控制战争的输赢。

Relying on memorized idioms instead of natural English

What you'll learn in this episode:

The truth about IELTS progress (based on Cambridge research)

Why many candidates from China (and globally) misunderstand how IELTS works

 Kev's English Podcast – Episode 32 Why You're Stuck at IELTS Band 6 (and How to Finally Reach Band 7)

In Episode 73 of 111 Tips for Learning a Language, we explore the intersection between emotional regulation and conversational fluency through the lens of the sacral chakra. Drawing from both neuroscience and yogic philosophy, this episode demonstrates how breathwork, pelvic awareness, and emotional expression activate the vagus nerve, reducing amygdala hyperactivity and supporting hippocampal memory consolidation—crucial for vocabulary retrieval and confident speaking (Porges, 2011; Lupien et al., 2009). By cultivating awareness of the emotional body through the sacral region, language learners can overcome anxiety, improve expression, and foster greater ease and authenticity in communication.
