Fox in Socks

「ではお日さまの出るまでどうぞ。もう一ぺん。ちょっとですから。」
　かっこうはまた頭を下げました。
「だまれっ。いい気になって。このばか鳥め。出て行かんとむしって朝飯に食ってしまうぞ。」
　ゴーシュはどんと床をふみました。
　するとかっこうはにわかにびっくりしたように いきなり窓をめがけて飛び立ちました。
    そしてガラスにはげしく頭をぶっつけて ばたっと下へ落ちました。
「何だ、ガラスへ ばかだなあ。」
    ゴーシュはあわてて立って 窓をあけようとしましたが 
    元来この窓はそんなにいつでもするする開く窓ではありませんでした。
    ゴーシュが窓わくをしきりにがたがたしているうちに またかっこうがばっとぶっつかって
    下へ落ちました。見ると くちばしのつけねからすこし血が出ています。
「いま あけてやるから待っていろったら。」
   ゴーシュがやっと二寸ばかり窓をあけたとき、かっこうは起きあがって
   何が何でもこんどこそというように じっと窓の向うの東のそらをみつめて、
   あらん限りの力をこめた風で ぱっと飛びたちました。
   もちろんこんどは前よりひどくガラスにつきあたって かっこうは下へ落ちたまましばらく
   身動きもしませんでした。つかまえてドアから飛ばしてやろうと ゴーシュが手を出しましたら
   いきなりかっこうは目をひらいて飛びのきました。そしてまたガラスへ飛びつきそうにするのです。
   ゴーシュは思わず足を上げて窓をばっとけりました。ガラスは二三枚物すごい音して砕くだけ
   窓はわくのまま外へ落ちました。そのがらんとなった窓のあとをかっこうが矢のように
   外へ飛びだしました。そしてもうどこまでもどこまでも まっすぐに飛んで行って
  とうとう見えなくなってしまいました。
  ゴーシュはしばらくあきれたように外を見ていましたが、
  そのまま倒れるように へやのすみへころがって 眠ってしまいました。


＊正しくは「ガラスは 二三枚 ものすごい音して」です。
　すみません、「もの」を飛ばしてしまいました。

　ものすごい (i-adjective)..unbelievable, incredible

Phrasal Verb about Communication 

THE POWER OF STORYTELLING

Great communicators take their audiences on a journey through storytelling, and Aristotle’s famous ‘Tell, Tell, Tell’ triptych is one of the most offered pieces of advice given to anyone hoping to become a good storyteller.

However, you don’t want to just follow the crowd, you want to stand-out and be remembered by your colleagues, your boss and your clients. So, I want to share with you an updated take on the 3-tells for the modern business era.

Firstly, share your conclusions with your audience. Start with the conclusion that you want the audience to remember. This lets them know what you are going to be communicating to them and provides a destination.

Secondly, show how and why you have reached your conclusion. This is the heart of your story and where you will spend most of your time. Because they already know the destination, this part of your presentation is more productive as your audience is already trying to convince themselves that your conclusions are correct.

Finally, tell them what you want them to do with your conclusion.

Listen to the podcast for even moe communication tips.

BizPod Episode 6 - Effective Communication

More than half of US adults work while they're on vacation, according to a new survey.

A public relations company called Movchan Agency found that 54% of Americans sometimes or always work while they're on holiday.

There's a name for taking a trip and bringing your work with you: a "workcation."

This is usually something a worker plans, letting them get a break from the office without using up paid days off.

But according to the survey, some people have no choice — their work follows them even when they want to take a break.

So while 34% of people said they work on vacation because they love what they do, 29% do it because they're afraid of losing their job.

And about a quarter of people said their boss even asks them to work when they're on holiday.

Almost half of the people surveyed said they feel guilty if they're not working during their vacation.

The report says its results show that workplace boundaries have been broken, and burnout is on the horizon.

Many people are already feeling burned out by work. Others admitted to arguing with a partner during their holiday because of the work they're doing on vacation, while almost half have canceled an activity on their trip for work reasons.

Business psychologist Roger Hall told Fox Business that we need to use holiday time to rest our minds.

He said: "The human brain needs time for rest and quiet in order to repair itself."

He added that because many of us can work from anywhere, we don't get that rest.
