点餐经历
上周末，我和朋友去了一家中餐馆。我们到了以后，服务员给我们菜单。
我点了一个宫保鸡丁，一碗米饭和一杯茶。我的朋友点了一个炒面和一杯水。
我们等了一会儿，菜就来了。宫保鸡丁很好吃，米饭也很好。朋友说炒面很好吃。
吃完以后，我们叫服务员结账。我们用手机支付，非常方便。
这次吃饭很开心，食物很好，服务也很好。

Last weekend, my friend and I went to a Chinese restaurant. When we arrived, the waiter gave us menus. I ordered a Kung Pao Chicken, a bowl of rice and a cup of tea. My friend ordered a fried noodles and a glass of water. We waited for a while and the food came. The Kung Pao Chicken was delicious and so was the rice. Friends said the fried noodles are delicious. After we finished eating, we asked the waiter to pay. We paid by mobile phone which was very convenient. I enjoyed my meal this time, the food was good and the service was excellent.

The Science of Learning: Does Age Really Matter?

今日は、昨日のテレビで「食品サンプル」についてやっていたので、それについて思ったことを話したいと思います。

皆さんは、食品サンプルというのをご存知ですか？
食品サンプルというのは、よく飲食店の入り口のところに飾られている、料理の見本のことです。それは、本物の食品でできているのではなくて、ずっと飾っておいても腐らない材料でできています。
それを見れば、お店に入らなくても、メニューを見なくても、その店にはどんな料理があるか一目でわかります。
しかも、食べなくてもその美味しさが伝わってくるくらい、よくできています。

実は昨日、3月26日は、食品サンプルの日だそうです。
サンプルのサンが数字の３、プが数字の２、ルが数字の６。
３・２・６・・・ということで、３月26日は食品サンプルの日になったそうです。

そのテレビで、食品サンプルと本物の料理を見分けるクイズがあったのですが、もうリアルすぎて、どっちが本物か区別がつきません。
おにぎりなんか、お米の一粒一粒から、海苔のパリパリ感まで、もはや本物。
私はそのクイズ、ことごとく全て外れました。。。


外国人観光客の方にも、お土産として人気があるようですが、今度日本でお土産を買うとしたら、食品サンプル、いいかもしれません。こっそり食卓に並べて、家族や友達をびっくりさせてみるのも、楽しそうですよ！

Convergent Thinking vs. Divergent Thinking: Why Planning Isn’t Always the Right Thing to Do

You’re overseeing a project and have all the pieces in place.

Your detailed timeline is mapped out. You’ve set expectations with leaders and team members. You’re prepared to keep all the deliverables organized.

Halfway through the project, a team comes to you with a suggestion—they think they’ve found a better way to handle a piece of the process.

Your stomach drops into your shoes. You’re the taskmaster. The organizer. The keeper of the schedule. This change in direction will only throw a wrench into the flawless plan you spent hours agonizing over. Even if it is a better way to go, you’re cringing at the idea of straying from your beloved system.

Sound familiar? It’s a common scenario for project managers. When you’re the one who’s solely responsible for keeping everything on track, it’s understandable that you’ll white-knuckle your tried and true processes.

But, think about this: You may be limiting the wiggle room team members need to take that project to the next level. By planning away every last inch of flexibility, you’re making it that much tougher to adapt to new information and evolving demands.

So, what do you do? It’s time for project management professionals to not only think of themselves as the keepers of plans, but also the ones responsible for pulling the very best out of teams.

To do so, they need to encourage and enable both pieces of the creative problem-solving process: divergent thinking and convergent thinking.
