The particle “吗” indicates an interrogative mood. 
When “吗” is added at the end of a declarative sentence, the declarative sentence turns into a question. For example：
nǐ shì zhōnɡ ɡuó rén 。 
你 是  中    国  人  。 
nǐ shì zhōnɡ ɡuó rén mɑ ？ 
你 是  中    国  人  吗 ？ 

tā shì xué shenɡ 。 
她 是  学  生    。 
tā shì xué shenɡ mɑ ？ 
她 是  学  生    吗 ？ 

tā shì dà wèi 。 
他 是  大 卫  。 
tā shì dà wèi mɑ ？ 
他 是  大 卫  吗 ？

En este episodio hablamos de una rana que era capaz de hacer lo que fuera por ser auténtica, no le basto con su opinión si no que fue en busca de la aceptación de otros.
Lamentablemente no le fue muy bien ya que al final no pudo complacer ni a los demás ni a ella misma.
Aprendemos en esta pequeña historia lo importante de amarnos a nosotros mismos y aceptarnos tal cual somos.

In this episode, I reflect on the deeper meaning behind learning a language — not as a method, but as a human experience. Drawing from my personal journey with English and Japanese, I explore how immersion, necessity, and emotional connection are more powerful than textbooks. Language is not just communication — it’s identity, context, and the silent culture between words.

Convergent Thinkers vs. Divergent Thinkers: Is One Better Than the Other?

verybody is capable of both convergent and divergent thinking, depending on the situation. However, it’s natural to lean more toward one or the other when approaching problems and projects.

“Some people have a natural preference for divergent thinking. They are the people in organizations who love to come up with new ideas,” says Manning, “They are also the people who are most useful when solving daunting, complex challenges because they are more likely to articulate ideas that are new and useful.”

The real issue lies in becoming too reliant on one method of thinking. “Too much divergent thinking can lead to endless ideation and no solutions. Too much convergent thinking can lead to no new ideas and ‘analysis paralysis,’”

Project Management and the Lure of Convergent Thinking
That’s a trap that project management professionals—who are notoriously married to their plans and processes—can fall into easily.

Let’s break this all down with some examples. Divergent thinking starts with an objective—perhaps you need to generate 1,000 new leads within a month. You start by brainstorming creative ideas and solutions to satisfy that goal: happy hours with famous speakers, direct mailers including $100 gift cards, a man in a gorilla suit on the corner of Times Square.

From there, you move into evaluating those options and settling on the one(s) that works best. This is an example of convergent thinking.

Let's continue later today on this topic and explore it further. See you soon.
