Halo semua! Kembali lagi di podcast saya! 
Apa kabar di bulan Januari ini?
Apa kalian sudah buat gol-gol kecil untuk tahun ini? 
Kalau saya, karena sekarang saya sedang belajar Bahasa Spanyol, saya juga mau buat gol kecil, yaitu mendengar 1 podcast setiap hari. 
Tips dari saya untuk belajar bahasa baru adalah : 
1. Kelilingi diri kalian dengan bahasa itu, lewat musik, film, buku, media sosial.
2. Sabar, be patient! Belajar bahasa baru itu perlu waktu. 
3. Bersenang-senang, have fun! Jangan terlalu serius, dan itu akan membuat lebih menyenangkan!
4. Cari tutor atau teman yang berbicara dengan bahasa itu. Berlatihlah dengan mereka. 
Jadi, untuk kalian yang sedang belajar Bahasa Indonesia, bersabarlah, bersenang-senanglah dan nikmatilah!
Jangan angkat tangan! "Angkat tangan", artinya "menyerah", ”give up", "諦める”
Jangan menyerah ya! Don't give up!  諦めないでね！
Selamat beraktivitas! Sampai jumpa lagi! ^^

东汉时期，有个叫乐羊子的人，他有一位非常贤惠的妻子。

乐羊子到远方去求学，一年后，乐羊子回来了。
妻子问他为何这么快回家,他说:“出门时间一长就想家，没有什么别的原因。"

妻子听完拿起一把刀走到织布机前，说:“这织布机上的蚕丝一根一根地积累起来,才有一寸长; 一寸寸积累起来,才有一丈乃至一匹长。今天如果我将它割断，就会前功尽弃。

读书也是如此，你积累学问，应该每天获得新的知识，从而使自己的品行更加完美。
如果半途而废，和割断的丝有什么不同呢?"

乐羊子从妻子的话里得到很大启发，于是又继续去完成学业，整整七年没有回家。

成语“半途而废”指的就是事情没有完成而终止, 事情还没有做完就放弃了。
 
**在这儿我给大家解释一下，故事里提到的一寸是0.033米，一丈是3.33米，一匹是大概33米。


贤惠 xiánhuì virtuous
织布机 zhī bù jī  loom, knitting machine
蚕丝 cánsī  natural silk
割断 gē duàn sever ; cut off
前功尽弃 qián gōng jìn qì  waste all the previous efforts
品行pǐn xíng  conduct; behaviour
启发qǐ fā  inspire
终止 zhōng zhǐ terminate, termination


举例：
1.这项工作一定要坚持完成，绝不能半途而废。
2.就快到山顶了，大家继续坚持，千万不要半途而废啊！

Per le prossime vacanze Jimmy ha organizzato un viaggio in solitaria: farà il giro d’Europa. Partirà da Venezia con il treno ad alta velocità e arriverà a Milano, città in cui non è mai stato. Trascorrerà il fine settimana lì per visitare i migliori musei della città, il palazzo Sforzesco, la Pinacoteca di Brera e il teatro La Scala.
Poi proseguirà per Torino e infine raggiungerà Aosta, da dove partirà per il monte Bianco. Per una settimana farà trekking in montagna, mangerà cibo nuovo e si godrà i bei panorami del monte più alto d’Europa.
Da Aosta raggiungerà la Svizzera: vuole visitare la città multiculturale di Ginevra e poi si recherà in Francia, a Parigi. Ha deciso che affitterà un piccolo monolocale a Mont Martre per vivere il centro artistico della città. A Parigi comprerà un biglietto aereo per volare Oltre Manica e raggiungere la bellissima Londra. Andrà a trovare la sua famiglia per qualche giorno: gli mostrerà le foto del suo viaggio e gli racconterà della sua vita a Venezia. Da Londra volerà in Germania, andrà a visitare il muro di Berlino e poi noleggerà una macchina per andare a bere birra a Monaco di Baviera.
Da Monaco di Baviera è facilissimo tornare in Italia: basta prendere un treno per il Trentino e in poche ore sarà sulle Dolomiti, dove passerà un giorno di relax alle terme prima di tornare a Venezia.

Scarlet Darkness- Chapter 6

I am an educator, mentor, and guide, I ignite the spark of possibility through communication. I equip professionals with the skills of confident communication, emotional intelligence, and strategic thinking. I empower them to break down barriers, unlock their potential, and navigate our ever-connected world. My mission is to foster connections that create positive change, build bridges across cultures, and create a world where clear communication fuels growth, trust, and innovation.

What does that mean?
My work isn't just a job, it's a mission. As an educator, mentor, and guide, I ignite a fire in people. Through the power of communication, I show them the possibilities that lie dormant within. I don't just teach; I equip.  I equip professionals with the tools they need to be confident communicators, understand the nuances of emotions, and think strategically. It's about empowering them to break down walls, unlock their full potential, and navigate the ever-evolving world of connection. My ultimate goal? To foster connections that drive positive change.  I envision a world where clear communication builds bridges across cultures, fostering trust, growth, and innovation. It's a world where communication isn't a barrier, but a bridge to a brighter future.


I don't invest in just teaching skills, I transform careers.  Imagine confidently presenting your ideas, navigating complex situations with emotional intelligence, and strategically solving problems. That's the impact I have. My clients land promotions because they radiate confidence and can advocate for themselves. They earn more because their strategic thinking adds value. They're trusted because they build strong relationships and clear communication fosters a foundation of trust.  And let's not forget new opportunities!  My clients stand out in the job market with a powerful communication skillset that makes them the ideal candidate.  I don't just equip you with skills, I equip you for success.
