What If The Whole World Went Blind? | Intermediate Spanish Podcast (B1)

Halo semua, selamat datang di podcast hari ini
Karena di sini setiap hari hujan, ayo berbicara tentang hujan! 
Setiap negara punya cara berbeda untuk berharap supaya hujan tidak turun
Saya ingin memperkenalkan dua cara yang unik, satu dari Jepang, dan satu lagi dari Indonesia

Di Jepang, mungkin kamu pernah mendengar tentang teru-teru bōzu
Ini adalah boneka kecil berwarna putih, seperti hantu lucu, yang biasanya digantung di jendela
Anak-anak membuatnya ketika mereka ingin cuaca cerah, misalnya saat ingin pergi piknik atau ada acara olahraga. Boneka ini menjadi simbol harapan agar besok tidak hujan

Sementara itu, di Indonesia, terutama di Jawa, orang-orang juga punya cara tradisional untuk menolak hujan. Mereka tidak menggantung boneka, tapi memakai bahan-bahan yang ada di dapur, seperti cabai merah, bawang merah, hmm ini bukan resep masakan ya… haha… dan sapu lidi
Cabai merah dipercaya memiliki energi panas, yang bisa membantu mengusir hujan
Bawang merah digunakan karena aromanya yang kuat dan dipercaya bisa membantu menolak datangnya hujan
Sapu lidi juga digunakan, biasanya diarahkan ke langit sambil berdoa, dengan harapan bisa "menyapu" awan gelap
Cara ini bukan ilmu pasti ya, tapi bagian dari tradisi lokal
Biasanya, semua itu dilakukan saat ada acara penting, seperti pernikahan, supaya cuaca tetap cerah

Kedua cara ini menunjukkan bahwa manusia selalu punya harapan, dan cara sendiri untuk berkomunikasi dengan alam
Kita tidak bisa mengatur cuaca, tapi kita bisa punya harapan sederhana, semoga hari itu cerah dan berjalan lancar

Saya harap perasaan kamu cerah dan hari kamu berjalan lancar ya!
Terima kasih sudah mendengarkan, sampai jumpa di episode selanjutnya! ^^

오늘은 아침에 일찍 일어났습니다. 일어나서 따뜻한 차를 마셨습니다. 기분이 아주 좋았습니다.
그다음에 집 근처 공원을 걸었습니다. 날씨가 조금 추웠지만 하늘이 맑아서 좋았습니다.

점심에는 친구를 만났습니다. 친구와 같이 한국 음식을 먹었습니다. 저는 비빔밥을 먹었고 친구는 김치찌개를 먹었습니다. 음식이 아주 맛있었습니다.

저녁에는 집에서 한국어를 공부했습니다. 새로운 단어를 외우고 짧은 문장을 연습했습니다. 공부는 조금 어려웠지만 재미있었습니다.
오늘 하루는 조용하고 행복한 날이었습니다.

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.
