The Italian Miscellaneous Podcast🖐 

Stereotipi #1 Gli italiani mangiano pasta e pizza tutti i giorni. Vero o falso?

WAITER: Hello, I’ll be your waiter today. Can I start you off with
something to drink?
RALPH: Yes. I’ll have iced tea, please.
ANNA: And I’ll have lemonade.
WAITER: OK. Are you ready to order, or do you need a few minutes?
RALPH: I think we’re ready. I’ll have the tomato soup to start, and the
roast beef with mashed potatoes and peas.
WAITER: How do you want the beef — rare, medium, or well done?
RALPH: Well done, please.
ANNA: And I’ll just have the fish, with potatoes and a salad.


LANGUAGE NOTES
• Can I start you off with something to drink? Notice how the question starts with 
“Can.” Since this is a yes/no question, the intonation rises at the end.
• And I’ll have lemonade. Notice how Anna stresses “I’ll” and “lemonade” to 
emphasize her choice.
• Are you ready to order, or do you need a few minutes? The word “or” signals 
a choice here. Notice the rising intonation on order, and the falling intonation on 
minutes (the first choice is “Are you ready to order?” and the second choice is “Do 
you need a few minutes?”).
• I’ll have the tomato soup to start, and the roast beef with mashed potatoes and
peas. Notice that “tomato soup,” “roast beef,” “mashed potatoes” and “peas” are 
stressed because the food order is the important information here. Notice also that 
“tomato soup,” “roast beef” and “mashed potatoes” are compound words. The stress 
falls on the second word in each phrase.
• Well done, please. Notice that the subject and verb are omitted in the response; only 
the necessary information is given.
• I’ll just have the fish. Anna says “just” here to mean that she does not want a starter.

Day 10: 

Your Personal Mission Statement (Personal Mission Statement or Mission Statement) is a roadmap, guiding you towards a life of purpose and fulfillment. But before you write it, take a deep dive into what truly matters. Here are some questions to spark self-discovery and craft a powerful Mission Statement:

Values:

What are my core values? (e.g., integrity, adventure, learning)
What principles are non-negotiable for me?
What actions bring me a sense of peace and satisfaction?
Passions and Strengths:

What activities make me lose track of time?
What skills and talents come naturally to me?
How can I leverage my strengths to make a positive impact?
Goals and Aspirations:

What do I want to achieve in different areas of life (career, relationships, personal growth)?
What kind of legacy do I want to leave behind?
How can my goals contribute to a better world?
Impact and Contribution:

Who or what inspires me?
What problems or challenges do I care deeply about solving?
How can I empower others to live fulfilling lives?
Reflection and Growth:

What motivates me intrinsically (from within) versus extrinsically (external rewards)?
Am I living authentically, aligned with my values?
What are some challenges or fears that might hinder my progress?
Bonus prompts:

Imagine your ideal future self. What are they doing? Who are they with?
What would my role model's Mission Statement look like?
What advice would my future self give me today?
Remember:

There are no right or wrong answers. Be honest with yourself.
This is an ongoing exploration. Revisit your Mission Statement regularly as you evolve.
Your Mission Statement should inspire and motivate you.
By reflecting on these questions, you'll gain clarity on your core values, aspirations, and the impact you want to make. This self-awareness will empower you to craft a Mission Statement that serves as a guiding light on your life's journey.

Questions for a Personal Mission Statement - Episode 87

🌑 El Tren de las 3:33 🚆

Samuel odiaba viajar en tren, pero aquella noche no tuvo más opción. Su auto se había averiado y debía llegar a su ciudad antes del amanecer. Al llegar a la estación, notó algo extraño: el único tren disponible era el de las 3:33, una hora que le resultó inquietante. Subió al vagón y encontró el interior vacío, excepto por un hombre al fondo que lo observaba sin parpadear. El tren arrancó con un sonido metálico que resonó como un lamento.

A medida que avanzaba, Samuel sintió un frío creciente. Miró por la ventana y se dio cuenta de que el paisaje no cambiaba. Siempre veía el mismo bosque oscuro, como si el tren avanzara en círculo. Se levantó para preguntar al hombre del fondo, pero cuando llegó allí, el asiento estaba vacío, y en su lugar, había una nota: "Este no es un tren cualquiera. No intentes bajarte".

El corazón de Samuel se aceleró. Corrió hacia la puerta y trató de abrirla, pero estaba sellada. De repente, una voz metálica por los altavoces dijo: "Próxima parada: el olvido". Miró su reflejo en la ventana y vio al hombre de antes mirándolo desde el otro lado del cristal, ahora con una sonrisa macabra. El tren nunca llegó a su destino. Al día siguiente, el jefe de estación encontró el vagón completamente vacío, excepto por una nota pegada en la ventana: "El tren de las 3:33 siempre necesita un nuevo pasajero".
