Love in Spanish

Presentación en inglés, francés y español

New York is 3 hours ahead of California,
but it does not make California slow.
Someone graduated at the age of 22,
but waited 5 years before securing a good job!
Someone became a CEO at 25, 
and died at 50.
While another became a CEO at 50,
and lived to 90 years.
Someone is still single,
while someone else got married.
Obama retires at 55,
& Trump starts at 70.
Absolutely everyone in this world works based on their Time Zone.
People around you might seem to go ahead of you,
some might seem to be behind you.
But everyone is running their own RACE, in their own TIME
Don’t envy them or mock them.
They are in their TIME ZONE, and you are in yours!
Life is about waiting for the right moment to act.
So, RELAX.
You’re not LATE.
You’re not EARLY.
You are very much ON TIME.

这首诗是我五年前在网上偶然发现的，直至现在仍然备受鼓舞。我是个土生土长的中国人，我的父母也是非常按部就班的中国人，在他们看来我这个年龄就应该结婚生子，而我更享受自由。
最近法国的气温慢慢升高了，鸟语花香，每个人笑容洋溢，希望这个世界能够恢复疫情前的样子，祝福大家笑口常开！

سلام من برگشتم با یه پادکست جدید. امروز می‌خوام به شما یک اصطلاح خیلی خیلی پرکاربرد در زبان فارسی یاد بدم "خسته نباشید. 
این اصطلاح در انگلیسی می‌تونه ترجمه بشه به
 "I hope you are not feeling tired" 
اما این اصطلاح دقیقا این معنی رو نداره و ما تو جاهای مختلف ازش استفاده می‌کنیم. امروز من به شما کاربردهای مختلف "خسته نباشید" رومیگم، امیدوارم که کامل مفهومش رو متوجه بشید.  
کاربرد شماره‌ی یک، مثلا وقتی که شما در کلاس هستین و کلاستون تموم میشه و می‌خوایند کلاس رو ترک کنید یا وقتیکه استاد می‌خواد کلاس رو ترک کنه پس شما می‌تونید به استاد بگین "استاد خسته نباشید، خداحافظ".
 کاربرد شماره‌ی دو، مثلا وقتی وارد یک مغازه می شید برای خرید کردن می‌تونین بگین "سلام خسته نباشید" پس همون موقع که وارد مغازه میشید می‌تونید بگید "سلام آقا خسته نباشید" و بعد سوالتون رو بپرسید و..
 کاربرد شماره‌ی سه مثلا وقتی که یک نفر از سر کار برمی‌گرده و خسته است فرض کنید همسر شما از سر کار برمیگرده می‌تونید بهش بگید "خسته نباشی عزیزم" و..
 کاربرد شماره ی چهار، بعضی وقتها ما از این اصطلاح به عنوان طعنه استفاده می‌کنیم فرض کنید دوست شما به شما قول داده یه کاری رو انجام بده و شما به اون زنگ می‌زنید و اون میگه من این کار رو انجام ندادم پس شما می‌تونید بهش بگین "خسته نباشی واقعا!"
 راستی در جواب "خسته نباشید" می‌تونید بگین "سلامت باشین"...  بله اینم از اصطلاح پرکاربرد امروز. امیدوارم ازش خوشتون اومده باشه و وقتی ایران اومدین به خوبی ازش استفاده کنید. تا پادکست بعدی خدانگهدار.

In this episode, I explain how the crown chakra, or Sahasrara, supports language learning by integrating grammar, vocabulary, listening, speaking, writing, and memorization into a unified flow. I show how mindful study methods like chanting, reflective writing, and immersive listening not only enhance fluency but also heal and stimulate the crown chakra. Backed by neuroscience and spiritual research, it's so good to know that language learning is a path not just to fluency but to wisdom, clarity, and inner balance. 🧘‍♀️

We all want our friends and relatives to be happy, but who is responsible for their care?
Today we read a story about a 95 year old woman in the UK.

Extract: 
We're going to go through a new story today and it begins with anger as a 95 year old (is)  told to take out her bins. Now, I just want to give you some background to this first of all. So, here in the UK, we have to put our bins on the streets for them to be collected and emptied.
So we have large bins, which are referred to as wheelie bins, And we must put those on the street. Depending on your relationship with your neighbours if you live in an apartment block, someone may do this for you. But the council employees, the people who come to empty the bins, will not come upon your property to collect them. They used to. But they don't any more. Depending on the council and depending on their funding, You may be able to request them to help you if you're old or infirm. As money is tight  these days for everyone, more and more councils are refusing to do this. A council is simply a local area government.
 Now we're going to read through a story here about what's happened to a 95 year old. Now, bearing in mind that here in the UK, we don't generally mix with our neighbours unless we know them very well or are related to them.
As I’ve often told you, we view  the Government almost like a mother or father, we expect them to do the things, which perhaps in your country is done by a community.
