开进晴朗

在连山隧道行车，人也在明暗里交替，开进黑暗，又驶入光明。天气越是晴朗，就越衬得这暗深黑如漆。

开进黑暗，是突然的，一点准备也没有。驶入光明，却是缓慢的，尽头的那点光亮，先如丸如豆，再如灯如月，直至天光大开。

人在寒冷里，意味着寒冷正在过去。人在黑暗中，意味着黑暗也正在逝去。光亮，让我们看见一切；黑暗，却让我们看见光亮。


正式说法：
1.入-进：入口，进入，入学通知，加入一个组织
2.晴朗-晴：天气晴朗，晴朗的天空
3.漆黑-黑：漆黑的夜晚
4.行-驶-开车：行车-雨天行车注意安全。驾驶，驾驶证，疲劳驾驶，酒后驾车-酒驾
5.缓慢-慢：老人缓慢地在路边行走。这座小城市发展的速度比较缓慢。
6.寒冷-冷：天气寒冷。我没想到在这么寒冷的季节能看到这么美的花儿。
7.逝去-过去：（过去，消失）逝去的时间，逝去的青春

Negotiations are a dance – a balance between collaboration and advocating for your position. Confidence is, of course, key, and the language you use plays a crucial role in conveying it. 

Here's how to harness the power of words in three key areas:

1. Framing & Highlighting Value:

Start Strong: Open with a positive, confident statement that positions your value. Instead of "We're happy to discuss this opportunity," try "Our solution has a proven track record of increasing sales by X%."

Focus on Benefits: Shift the conversation from features to the benefits your offer brings. Don't just say "Our software is user-friendly," explain how it "streamlines workflows and saves your team time."

2. Concession Language with Strength:

Conditional Agreements: Acknowledge their points without conceding defeat. Use phrases like "That's a valid concern. To address it, we can offer..." This shows you're listening while steering the discussion.

"We Can" vs. "We Might": Use strong verbs that project confidence. "We can offer a discount for a bulk order" sounds more assured than "We might be able to consider a discount."

3. Closing the Deal with Clarity:

Active Voice & Ownership: Phrases like "We propose a contract with..." sound stronger than "Perhaps we could have a contract."

Summarize & Confirm: Recap key points and confirm next steps. End with "By finalizing the contract today, we can begin implementation next week"

Confident language isn't about aggression; it's about clear, persuasive communication. By strategically using these tips, you'll project confidence, effectively advocate for your value, and navigate negotiations with power and professionalism.

Hyvää joulua! Mitä jouluna tapahtuu Suomessa ja mitä jouluun liittyviä perinteitä meillä on? Tässä jaksossa puhun joulupukista, syömisestä ja lahjoista. Jouluaaton (24.päivä) viettoon kuuluu  puuron syöntiä, saunomista ja esimerkiksi kuusen koristelua.

Monet käyvät hautausmailla muistamassa rakkaitaan juuri jouluaattona tai menevät joulukirkkoon kuuntelemaan perinteisiä joululauluja.

Today we're talking about comparative adjectives like "easier", "better", and "taller". In specific, we're talking about ways that we can emphasise and stress these words. A common mistake is to use the collocation "more easier" but this is a mistake. So, let's explore some ways that we can do this correctly. I hope you find today's podcast useful!
