朱古力六月同屋企人去做一個禮拜日本，當時正直日圓最低點，買買買就最好不過，而且咁耐冇見可以相聚就非常開心。但係同屋企人去旅行都唔係想象中咁輕鬆，今期就分享下，同爸媽去旅行究竟會產生咩問題，而結束旅程之後，從美食天堂返到美食荒漠就梗係要呻下
PS:呢集出街嘅時候雪條已經嘗試過Chipotle，佢都表示好難食。朱古力：終於唔係我揀食啦😂

Verb ВІДПОЧИВАТИ

有一天，他劝我用心地画一副漂亮的图画，好叫我家乡的孩子们对这件事有一个深刻的印象。
And one day he said to me: You ought to make a beautiful drawing, so that the children where you live can see exactly how all this is.
他还对我说：如果将来有一天他们出外旅行，这对他们是很有用的。
That would be very useful to them if they were to travel some day.
有时候，人们把自己的工作推到以后去做，并没有什么妨害，
Sometimes," he added, "there is no harm in putting off a piece of work until another day.
但要遇到拔猴面包树苗这种事，那就非造成大灾难不可。
But when it is a matter of baobabs, that always means a catastrophe.
我遇到过一个星球，上面住着一个懒家伙，他放过了三棵小树苗…
I knew a planet that was inhabited by a lazy man. He neglected three little bushes...
于是，根据小王子的说明，我把这个星球画了下来。
So, as the little prince described it to me, I have made a drawing of that planet.
我从来不大愿意以道学家的口吻来说话，
I do not much like to take the tone of a moralist.
可是猴面包树的危险，大家都不大了解，对迷失在小行星上的人来说，危险性非常之大，

But the danger of the baobabs is so little understood, and such considerable risks would be run by anyone who might get lost on an asteroid,
因此这一回，我贸然打破了我的这种不喜欢教训人的惯例。
that for once I am breaking through my reserve.
我说：“孩子们，要当心那些猴面包树呀！”
"Children," I say plainly, "watch out for the baobabs!"
为了叫我的朋友们警惕这种危险——他们同我一样长期以来和这种危险接触，却没有意识到它的危险性
My friends, like myself, have been skirting this danger for a long time, with-out ever knowing it;
我花了很大的功夫画了这副画。
and so it is for them that I have worked so hard over this drawing.
我提出的这个教训意义是很重大的，花点功夫是很值得的。
The lesson which I pass on by this means is worth all the trouble it has cost me.
你们也许要问，“为什么这本书中别的画都没有这副画那么壮观呢？”
Perhaps you will ask me, "Why is there no other drawing in this book as magnificent and impressive as this drawing of the baobabs?"
回答很简单。
The reply is simple.
别的画我也曾经试图画得好些，却没成功。
I have tried. But with the others I have not been successful.
而当我画猴面包树时，有一种急切的心情在激励着我。
When I made the drawing of the baobabs I was carried beyond myself by the inspiring force of urgent necessity.

Negotiation and Change Management: Navigating the Corporate Seas

In the ever-evolving landscape of business, the ability to negotiate and manage change is akin to navigating treacherous seas. Successful captains of industry understand that these skills are not just necessary; they are the rudder that steers the corporate ship through both calm and stormy waters.

The Art of Negotiation

Negotiation is the subtle art of reaching an agreement that benefits all parties involved. It’s a dance of communication, where each step is carefully calculated to achieve a harmonious outcome. For managers, negotiation skills are indispensable. They are the tools that help forge strong stakeholder relationships, drive business objectives, and resolve conflicts that could otherwise fester into costly disputes.

Change Management: The Compass of Progress

Change management, on the other hand, is the compass that guides a company towards progress. It involves preparing, supporting, and helping individuals, teams, and organizations in making organizational change. Leaders who excel in change management not only anticipate the shifts in their industry but also create the strategies that will enable their teams to adapt swiftly and efficiently.

Combining Forces for Success

When negotiation and change management converge, they create a powerful synergy. Negotiation skills allow managers to involve key stakeholders in the change process, increasing buy-in and reducing resistance. Meanwhile, change management provides the framework for implementing the negotiated agreements, ensuring that the change is not just accepted but embraced.


As we sail into the future, the waters of business will only get more challenging. But with robust negotiation and change management skills, managers can not only weather the storms but also harness the winds of change to propel their organizations to new heights. It’s time to set sail and navigate the corporate seas with confidence and skill.


The Global Professional Podcast

Episode 53

June and Yuli have a talk about Chinese Blind Date, this episode is part 1: What's Chinese Blind Date, you will learn how to say 【tradition,social context】 ect. (This is casual talk so there're some repetition and unnecessary words, which is also very natural authentic dialogue.)
--------------------------------------------------
It is recommended that you study in the following ways:
1st time: listen without looking at the text.
2nd time: look at the text and write down the new words, later look up the dictionary. 
3rd time: listen again without looking at the text.
4th time: repeat after it without looking at the text.
-------------------------------------------------- 
June：第一个问题，什么是中国式相亲？
Yuli：我觉得这个跟中国的（这个）文化传统、社会背景关系还挺大的，就是到了一定的年纪，父母会觉得你应该结婚了，然后会通过亲戚、通过朋友去帮你介绍一些男生女生给你认识。然后这个前提一般是以结婚为基础的这种。
June：你觉得在中国相亲大概是从多大父母会开始给你介绍对象？
Yuli：我自己的经验是，我们一般是读书的时候，父母说不能早恋，不可以谈恋爱，但是你一毕业开始工作他们就觉得你要赶紧找对象，赶紧结婚，所以我自己的经验是毕业22、 23的时候。但是后来我听周围的人说，有的人是从还在读大学的时候开始，可能父母家里已经开始安排相亲了，感觉这个趋势有点越来越早（的感觉）。
June：我自己也是从大学毕业后工作了一年吧，才开始相亲的。周围的很多朋友，他们也差不多是在大学毕业之后开始相亲。然后很多都是通过相亲、结婚，现在都已经有了自己的小宝宝了。
Yuli：我蛮多朋友也是，如果你本来没有谈恋爱的对象的话，基本上都是回老家以后，开始工作以后周围的人帮你介绍对象相亲，然后结婚生小孩。
