Pronouns in the Egyptian dialect

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。

Platon stiller ofte spørsmålet "Hva er noe?" i dialogene sine. Ved å stille dette spørsmålet får han ofte samtalepartnerne til å innse at de ikke har full forståelse av hva noe er, selv om de har delvis forståelse. Å være klar over sin ufullstendige erkjennelse er det første steget på veien til sannheten i filosofien. På samme måte som i antikken spør også dagens moderne idrettsfilosofer, i likhet med Platon, "Hva er sport?", eller mer presist, "Hva er god sport?". Et av Platon's beste svar på dette spørsmålet finnes trolig i grunnleggende konsepter i hans filosofi om den hierarkiske inndelingen av staten og menneskesjelen i tre deler. Siden sport stammer fra mennesket, kan også godheten i sport deles inn i tre stadier. Det laveste stadiet av sport svarer til den første delen av sjelen - den lystne sjelen. På dette stadiet er sport basert på å oppnå materielle goder gjennom premiene som vinnes i konkurranser....

Today I’m going to talk about School uniform in Japan.
The school uniform is totally changing recently from my school days. How are they changing? Please listen to today’s podcast! Thank you!
*************************************
4月　新しい制服を着て桜の花をバックに写真を撮る親子を何組か見かけました。
日本の中学校、高校では、ほとんどの学校で制服を着ます。私が通っていた中学校では、女子は　冬はジャンパースカートにブレザーとカッターシャツ、夏は吊りスカートに白いカッターシャツを着て、男子は詰襟（つめえり）とスラックスでした。　高校では、冬は紺色のセーラー服に紺のリボンと紺のスカート、夏は白のセーラー服に紺のスカートを着ていました。男子は同じく詰襟でした。私はこの制服が大好きでした。
学校によって制服が違って、制服を見ればどこの学校の生徒かわかるようになっていました。　ですから、「私たちの制服」という気持ちが強かったと思います。
この制服が、最近　どんどん　変わってきています。　以前は、男子はスラックスで、女子はスカートというスタイルが当たり前でした。でも、今は「性別に関係なく着られる制服」を選ぶ学校が増えてきているのです。　ですから、生徒たちは、スカートでもスラックスでも自分が着たいほうを選ぶことができるのです。
さらに、地域共通のブレザーの制服が広まりつつあるそうです。地域全体で同じ制服を着ることには、いくつかメリットがあって、一つは、制服の値段が安くなること。そして、もう一つは、地域内で引っ越したときに、学校が変わっても制服を買い直さなくてもいいということだそうです。
私個人的には、みんな同じ制服だと、学校ごとの個性がなくなって、なんだか寂しいような気がしますが…。

Do you believe people are born with a certain amount of ability and intelligence? Or do you think these things can be changed through effort and education?

Your answers to these questions may decide how well you chase your own goals in life!

Researchers in Norway looked at over 1,500 people aged 13 to 77.

Participants filled out a survey asking them questions about how much they think people's abilities and intelligence can grow with effort and education.

They also filled out two more surveys: one asking how passionate they are about the things they are interested in, and one asking how persistent — and consistent — they are in chasing their goals.

For example, they were asked how much they agree with statements such as, "I use a lot of time on the projects I like," for passion, and "I finish whatever I begin," for persistence.

The researchers then looked at the people who got the 5% highest and lowest scores for belief in people's ability to grow.

It was found that those with the greatest belief in growth also had significantly higher scores in passion and persistence.

Interestingly, although 60% of all the study participants were women, in the group with the lowest belief in growth almost 60% were men.

"The belief in growth is important for large parts of our society," said Hermundur Sigmundsson, one of the study's authors. "This is true for school, sports, work and family life."

The authors also pointed to other studies that have found that it's possible to help people believe in personal growth — particularly as children — and that this can result in greater persistence.

Looking at their own results, the researchers said it can be argued that belief in your ability to grow may be important for both passion and persistence.

However, they also noted that it could also be that passion, perseverance and belief in growth all support each other.
