쌤통이다

쌤통이다 뭐예요? 
What is 쌤통? 

The word "쌤통" means the feeling of delight in someone's misfortune or failure.

In fact, there is a technical term for this in psychology.
Schadenfreude. 
"Schadenfreude" is a German word that refers to the experience of pleasure or joy that comes from witnessing or learning about others’ misfortune.

"Especially, when someone I am jealous of makes a mistake and stumbles in front of others, I find myself secretly happy."
When you feel this, you can say 쌤통이다. 

But be careful!
it is generally considered a negative emotion so you should not express that emotion inside out. 

Don’t forget this!
쌤통이다.

春节是中国传统节日中最盛大的节日，也是最重要的节日。人们会在家中张贴“福”字，也会吃“年糕”，有些地区还会贴上年画……人们利用这些谐音文化为自己在新的一年里讨个吉利。除此以外，中国传统婚姻中也保持了一些传统，这些传统有很多都蕴含着谐音文化。比如，中国的新娘子在结婚的时候，要跨过“火盆”，意味着“日子红红火火”；新人睡的被子底下塞满了花生、枣子、桂圆等食物，意味着”早生贵子“。

La música en América Latina - Parte II Cumbia, Reggaetón, Ranchera

During the summers not too long ago, when politicians were on vacation and schools were closed, news in the UK often featured stories about things like cats in trees and UFOs, because there wasn't much else to report.

It was called "silly season" in the UK — of course there was other news, but not the usual daily politics, so there was more time for happier stories.

But some may feel like there isn't time for silly season these days.

And according to a recent study, thinking about the news is making British people anxious, something that's causing some of them to avoid engaging with it.

It also means they're less likely to engage with politics, the study suggests.

Researchers spoke to 43 people in the UK who said they never or rarely engage with professionally made news, whether that's on television, in newspapers or online.

The research was published in September 2022, but the interviews took place between November 2016 and March 2017, not long after the UK voted to leave the European Union (EU).

However, for most, it may not have been leaving the EU that caused them to avoid the news. Many reported feeling anxious or afraid when thinking about news stories featuring crime, war or terrorism.

People did think that they should know a little bit about global and national events, but this wasn't always enough to make them follow the news.

Many felt they could not understand the country's politics, or that political news was not relevant to them.

For politicians themselves, this could be a challenge, suggests the study — trying to communicate with those who avoid the news.

'It Makes Us Anxious': Why Some People Avoid the News

Let me tell you something. In the world of business, communication is king. But forget fancy speeches and teleprompters. What you really need is the ability to connect, to think on your feet, and inspire – on the spot. That's where I come in.

As your business communication coach, I won't just train you to speak. I'll help you find your voice, the one that resonates with authenticity and power. We'll work together to build a foundation of strong business acumen. Numbers, trends, market forces – these aren't just dry facts, they're the fuel that propels your message.

But knowledge alone isn't enough. You have to be able to listen, truly listen, to the people you're speaking with. What are their concerns? Their aspirations? We'll hone your active listening skills, so you can build bridges, not walls, during those impromptu interactions.

Now, let's be honest, practice makes perfect. We won't just talk the talk, we'll walk the walk. Mock interviews, simulated meetings, even impromptu presentations on random business topics – we'll throw you curveballs, and you'll learn to hit them out of the park. We'll record your sessions, analyze them together, and help you refine your delivery, ditch the filler words, and find that clear, concise style that cuts through the noise.

Remember, confidence is key.  I'll be your guide, your cheerleader, pushing you to embrace challenges and see every unexpected speaking opportunity as a chance to grow. Because ultimately, it's not about having all the answers, it's about the passion and purpose behind them.

So, are you ready to step up, to take your communication skills to the next level?  Together, we can turn you into an impromptu speaking champion, someone who commands attention, inspires collaboration, and leaves a lasting impression. Let's get started.
