3か月、サボりました。すみません、春のガイドが終わってから、ネタに困ってスランプになってました。でも今回、何とコメ不足から岡山につながりました！
「隠棲（いんせい）」静かに住むこと
「観農（かんのう）」農作業を見守ること
ガイドになってから、庭園をいろいろ見るようになりましたが、こんなコンセプトがあるとは、知りませんでした。ほんと、上に立つ人にこそ、実践してほしい考え方です。

すずまりの日本語「きき耳ずきん」S2

第26話　庭園の中の田んぼ（岡山）

孔融小时候，不仅学习勤奋，而且善于思考。父亲外出拜客总是带着他去。10岁那年，他随父亲来到洛阳。正逢洛阳太守李膺大府内走。这时守门人忙把拉，问道：“你是哪家小孩，到一边玩去!”

孔融严肃地回答说：“请你们进去通报，山东孔融来访。”守门人见他一本正经，也不知是什么来头?笑着问：“小公子，可有红贴?”孔融说：“我家和你家主人世代交往，又有师生之谊，无需红贴，只管通报。”守门人怕慢待贵客，只好进去通报。这时李膺正和许多文人雅士交谈，听了通报，一时想不起这位孔融和自己家庭是什么关系，只好哈哈：“请进!”

小孔融兴冲冲走进大厅，一边向主人问候，一边拱手招呼各位来宾，态度不亢不卑。李膺一边让座，一边打量着这位俊才少年，心里好生奇怪：这小孩从未见过面，而他为何自称通家呢?于是，李膺问道：“小公子，你说我们两家世代交情，我怎么想不起来啊!”孔融微笑着说：“500年前孔子曾经问礼于老子，孔子姓孔，老子姓李，说明孔、李两家500年就有师生之谊。今你姓李，我姓孔，也是师生关系，我们两家不是累世通家吗!”

孔融语出惊人，在座客人无不暗暗称奇。太守李膺不禁哈哈大笑起来：“小公子真神童也。”唯有太中大夫陈韪不以为然，冷冷地说：“小时候聪明的人，长大后未必有作为。”面对挑战，孔融笑着说：“这样说来，先生小时候一定很聪明。”这一巧妙对答，弄得陈韪面红耳赤无言回对，暗暗坐在一旁生气。孔融则目不斜视，装着大人模样，一本正经地喝着茶，引得众人哈哈大笑。

🗣 Как сохранять мотивацию, когда первые восторги прошли, а слова забываются?

🤝 В выпуске:
– Меняем "надо" на "хочу" - учим как новое удовольствие
– Начинаем с алфавита через образы ("ламед" = жираф)
– Используем разговорные фразы сразу ("сабаба", "бэседер")
– Интегрируем в жизнь: сериалы, музыка короткими сессиями
– Учим понемногу, но каждый день
– Говорим без страха ошибок
– Ценим маленькие победы, а не перфекционизм

✨ Для всех, кто хочет учить иврит с удовольствием каждый день!

Imagine a chance meeting at a conference – a fleeting opportunity to make a strong impression. That's the power of an elevator pitch, a succinct introduction that sparks interest and sets you apart. Here's how to craft yours for networking success:

Grab Attention in the First 10 Seconds:  A captivating opening is key. Are you passionate about solving a specific industry challenge? Briefly mention it and how your expertise can be the solution. For instance, "I'm a data analyst with a knack for uncovering hidden insights that boost marketing campaign effectiveness."

Introduce Yourself Professionally:  In a sentence or two, state your profession and a key area of strength.  Keep it clear and concise. Example: "I'm a marketing specialist with a proven track record in developing high-performing social media strategies."

Highlight Your Value Proposition:  This is where you showcase what sets you apart.  It could be a unique skill, a successful project you've led, or a specific achievement that demonstrates your value. Don't just list duties; focus on results. Example: "I recently spearheaded a social media campaign that generated a 30% increase in qualified leads for my company."

End with a Clear Call to Action:  A strong call to action leaves a lasting impression and encourages further conversation.  Do you want to connect on LinkedIn? Offer to share a relevant case study or discuss your expertise in more detail?  Keep it specific and actionable.

Craft, Refine, and Conquer:

Practice your pitch out loud to refine its delivery. Aim for clarity, enthusiasm, and a natural conversational tone. Time yourself – it should be under 30 seconds to hold attention in a busy environment.

Bonus Tip: Tailor Your Message:  A one-size-fits-all approach won't cut it. Research the event or organization beforehand. Highlight skills and experiences relevant to their interests.

Follow these steps, you'll craft a memorable elevator pitch that captures attention, showcases your value.
