Chinese story:
《漂亮的学校大门》
“我说不来，又叫我来，这个大门又旧又烂，我不想在这里念书！”一位女学生在大学门口大声地说。

在中国，学生很多，但是大学却不多，所以要考上一所大学不是一件容易的事。这位年轻的女学生非常努力地考上大学，难道只是希望学校有一个漂亮的大门？

大部分的学生都喜欢学校有一个漂亮的大门，当自己的爸爸、妈妈，或者朋友来参观的时候，他才会觉得有面子。

大部分中国的大学都希望有一个漂亮的大门，因为这是一个学校的形象。大学是这样，一般的中学、小学也是这样的。

有漂亮的校门是很好的事，但是如果学生只是因为学校没有漂亮的大门，就不想读大学，这就变成了一件奇怪的事。


English translation:
The beautiful school main gate

I said I don’t want to come. Why you asked me to come here? The main gate of this school is old yet rotten. I don’t want to study here.” A female student shouted in front of a university’s main entrance.
In China, students are too many. But universities are few. Getting an admission to a university is a tough work. This young female student must’ve studied very hard to gain approval for a place. Is it only for a beautiful school main gate?
Many students want their school to have a beautiful main gate. So that when their parents or friends come to visit them, they would feel proud of themselves.
In fact, most universities in mainland China definitely want to have a beautiful main gate which stands for the image of a school. Universities want that, and general high schools and elementary schools want that as well.
It is certainly a good thing to have a great-looking main gate. But if a student doesn’t want to go to a university simply depends on the outward appearance of main gate, this is really a weird thing.

For many global professionals, a high income doesn't always translate into financial security. This episode of The Global Professional Podcast tackles the paradox of earning well but feeling financially fragile. I provide a strategic framework to move beyond the "feast or famine" cycle, build a robust savings system, and create a concrete plan that turns your remote work income into long-term, sustainable wealth.

Episode 144 - The Plan to go from High Income to Real Wealth

On a Monday morning or after a night out with friends, staying focused in class can feel impossible. You yawn, your eyes feel tired and the desk starts to look increasingly attractive as a temporary bed of sorts. It’s time to reach out for some of your brain’s favourite attention and memory boosters and wake up again.

So before next Monday’s class – whether back home or in an EF school somewhere on the other side of the world – whip up a blueberry shake, drink a cup of coffee, eat some nuts or go nuts and eat a baked potato for lunch. Your brain and your teacher will thank you, trust us.

Our top 5 brain foods:

1. A strong cup of coffee

Every student knows that the local barista that makes that daily morning cup is their best friend. Coffee is really good for waking you up and keeping you focused for a short amount of time, but drink too much and you’ll feel jittery and ill.

2. A fruit shake

Preferably with super healthy blueberries and with natural sugars in the form of glucose, a fruit shake can provide a short-term memory boost in addition to vitamins and minerals that your whole body needs. Overdo it and you’re likely to feel tired soon after.

3. A handful of dark chocolate pieces and nuts

They’re as brain-boosting as anything (dark chocolate even has some caffeine) and they’re anti-ageing too.

4. Fish and baked potatoes for lunch

We know, we know – they’re not the most attractive items on the menu, but your brain loves both. Salmon and other fatty fish have loads of Omega-3 fats that boost memory and slow your brain’s decline as you age, while potatoes provide steady energy that your brain really needs (it takes up 20% of your body’s energy!)

5. Pumpkin seeds
They’re full of zinc, iron and minerals that help transport oxygen to the brain, and nerve cells to communicate and boost your brain power. A great cheap and healthy snack.
