中华成语典故----买椟还珠

In the first episode of No Such Thing as a Synonym, we kick things off with a pair of very familiar verbs: "see" and "watch". 

When you look up these words in a dictionary you’ll find they have virtually identical definitions. However, I want to let you in on a secret – the dictionary isn’t telling you the whole story. 

In this episode, we’ll explore the pragmatic and subtle differences between the two words, including the difference between “seeing a film” and “watching a film” and “seeing someone fall off their bike” and “watching someone fall off their bike”. 

Listen along to learn something new!

LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.


ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE DOS AMIGOS QUE PASEABAN POR EL BOSQUE.


Antes de comenzar la lectura.


1. ¿Prefieres tener muchos amigos o pocos amigos?

2. ¿Que valoras en una amistad?


Presta atención a la lectura de tu profesor.


Érase una vez dos amigos que paseaban por el bosque. De
pronto, apareció un oso que quería atacarlos. Uno de ellos se
encaramó a un árbol y se escondió, mientras que el otro se quedó
en el camino, se dejó caer al suelo y simuló que estaba muerto.

El oso se acercó y lo olfateó, pero él aguantó la respiración,
así que el animal pensó que estaba muerto y se fue.

Cuando el oso se alejó, bajó del árbol y preguntó riendo a su
compañero:

- ¿Qué te decía el oso al oído?

- Me decía que quien abandona a un amigo cuando hay peligro es un cobarde.

5 Steps to Business Habit Stacking

STEP 1
Identify 1-3 key habits you want to focus on developing that will have the biggest positive impact on your business. These should be habits that are relatively easy to implement but provide high value such as daily planning, delegating tasks or networking. Focus on habits that are specific, measurable actions you can take each day to make progress towards your goals.

STEP 2
Choose an existing daily habit you already have as an anchor. This could be making your bed, taking your vitamins or checking email. The anchor habit should be something quick and easy you already do daily. Picking an anchor you already do each morning or evening will help cue the new habits without adding extra effort.

STEP 3
Immediately follow your anchor habit with one of the key habits you identified. For example, if your anchor is checking email in the morning, follow it with taking 10 minutes to plan your day. Doing the new habit right after the anchor will help the cues become associated over time.

STEP 4
Repeat the key habit daily, right after your anchor habit, until it becomes a routine. It may take 21-30 days for a new habit to stick so be patient and consistent. Don't try to build multiple habits at once. Staying focused on one habit at a time will help it to form more successfully without overload.

STEP 5
Once the first key habit is a routine, add the second by stacking it after your anchor and initial habit. For example, your routine is now check email > plan your day > delegate one task. Continue stacking until all your key habits are locked in. Stacking new habits onto existing routines helps you develop multiple productive habits efficiently.

Have you been promoted at work for your great ideas? 

While we all have good ideas, sadly, most of them never see the light of day. People keep their ideas to themselves for many reasons. Perhaps they don’t like speaking up in meetings or feel overburdened by work and don’t want to invite more work. Maybe they’ve brought up ideas at work before, and others didn’t seem interested or even discouraged them. After all, most people don’t recognize the potential of an idea at first.

But of course, we all benefit from good ideas. In the workplace, they can lead to the creation of entirely new products and services, an easier way to do something, time saved, or countless other benefits.

Tune in to this episode of the Express to Impress podcast to find out how to present ideas successfully.  You’ll advance your career in no time!
