Can I Say - Can I Do

Hong Kong

要是你发现身体有一点不舒服，你会怎么办呢？是马上去医院看医生？还是自己在家里吃药？还是在网上找答案呢？在中国，我们有一句话，“身体有问题的话，一定不要在网上找答案，否则，你会怀疑自己得了非常严重的病。”
    去年冬天，我的鼻子常常流血，有时候打个喷嚏都会流很多血。因为那个时候的流行感冒很严重，所以我选择在网上找答案。可是，当我输入“鼻子常常流血的原因”后，出现的答案让我害怕了。因为它说我得了鼻癌，然后接下来的一个月我的身体可能还有其它不舒服的地方。我既担心，又害怕。一个星期以后，我终于决定去医院检查了。可是医生告诉我，我的鼻子流血只是因为空气干燥。房间里面只要放一个加湿器就可以了。
    从那以后，我生病都会去看医生，再也不相信网上的答案了。

🧠 Confidence & Communication — What’s the real connection?

If you’re a non-native English-speaking manager, you’ve likely felt it:

👉 You know what you want to say…
But in the moment, the words vanish. Doubt creeps in. Confidence slips away.

The truth is — language and confidence are deeply connected.
How you feel when you speak matters just as much as the words you choose.

Try this 1-minute confidence reset before your next meeting:

✨ Close your eyes
✨ Inhale slowly (4 seconds)
✨ Hold (4 seconds)
✨ Exhale gently (6 seconds)
✨ Repeat 3 times

Then say quietly to yourself:
💬 “My voice matters. I speak with clarity.”

🌿 Confidence doesn’t mean speaking perfectly. It means showing up — grounded, clear, and present.

If you’re ready to feel more confident in your communication, I’d love to help.

📩 DM me anytime — let’s build that confidence together.

🧠 Confidence & Communication — What’s the real connection?

One of the questions that many of us have about exercise is "should it hurt?"

Some people agree with the old saying: "No pain, no gain," which means if it's not hurting, you're not improving.

But is that really true?

When it comes to weight training, some experts tell people that they should train "until failure" for best results.

This means they keep lifting or training until their body cannot physically do any more.

However, others say that this approach is not suitable for everyone.

"If somebody wants to increase muscle mass as much as they possibly can, then training to failure is something to consider," said Michael Zourdos, from Florida Atlantic University, who has done research into this subject.

He and his colleagues found that lifting weights "until failure" may build bigger muscles, but isn't needed to increase strength.

He said people who work out hard, but don't push themselves to exhaustion, will still likely improve their fitness.

For the average person just looking to increase their fitness levels, Zourdos said it's easier to get results.

He said that these people would benefit from a hard session that comes within five to 10 repetitions of failure, rather than training to complete exhaustion.

He also said "failure training" often makes people so sore that they miss their next session.

Overdoing it can sometimes be harmful — and people who are planning on doing strenuous exercise should see a doctor first.

James Fisher, a sport science expert in the UK, says that resting muscle groups is an important part of training.

But he agrees that if people want to build muscle, they need to push themselves.

"If you lift a weight you can easily lift 10 times or more, you never really work hard enough," he said.

Still, Fisher said that the best workout is "one that people will actually do," regardless of how hard they push themselves.
