Hello, I was wondering if the phrase “second guess someone else” could mean “doubt the person’s decision”. I did some research for it, then just found out the meaning of “guess what the one will do”. Is it not right to use the phrase that way? I appreciate your help. 

How are you? I'm The simple question is rather vague upon first glance. Are we inquiring about how one is getting by or the general well-being of the person in question? I thought both answers might do better in the longer form than a simple "well" and "good". I'm doing well. I'm in good health/shape. I'm good on my end. Etc. He fixes faucets well. He fixes faucets good. So a plumber has fixed the broken pipe clumsily, and yet the outcome turned out to be good. At the same time, another plumber might have elegantly fixed it well, akin to an art performance, and yet failed to solve the problem.

Does it sound archaic? Though things aren't always black and white, I still offer my unmitigated yes as my final word on the matter.

Business English Tip: What to Do When You Don’t Know How to Respond It happens to everyone — you get asked a question and your mind goes blank. Here’s how to handle it professionally: Take a pause – It’s okay to think before you speak. Use fillers like: “That’s a good question…” “Let me think for a moment…” Ask for clarification – If you’re not sure what the other person means: “Could you clarify what you mean by…?” “Do you mean…?” Paraphrase the question – Restating it buys you time and shows you’re listening. “So, you’re asking about our marketing strategy, right?” Be honest (professionally) – If you don’t know the answer: “I’m not sure, but I can check and get back to you.” “That’s outside my expertise, but I can find someone who knows.” Redirect the focus – Share what you do know that’s related. “I’m not familiar with that model, but I can tell you about…” Remember: In business, how you handle uncertainty can matter as much as the answer itself. Stay calm, polite, and confident.

“Ganyan din ako” (“I am also like that”) This expression conveys empathy. You use it to let someone know that they are not alone in what they are feeling or going through. It tells the other person that you have experienced the same problem, challenge, or situation, and therefore you can genuinely relate to them. Knowing that a struggle is not unique, that someone else has walked the same path, can be comforting. It reminds us that our experiences are shared, and that understanding and support can come from those who have been there too.

I came across a report about "Nonflammable Mobile Batteries" online. I would like to summarize and share some of the interesting points here. Mobile batteries are very useful when a smartphone's battery is running low outside. Most of them are Lithium-ion batteries and they become a current must-have. However, they have some issues. Especially, they are well-known for its having a flammable risk because they use flammable organic solvent. We sometimes saw the news that mobile batteries caught fire on the train and in the garbage truck. A certain company in Osaka developed Sodium-ion mobile batteries as nonflammable ones and started to sell them in mid-March. They said this is the world's first Sodium-ion mobile battery. They have different features from Lithium-ion batteries as follows, 1)High Safety. The battery is hard to overheat and can lower a risk of catching fire even if there is a heat in the battery. 2) Robust Temperature Feature. The battery works at between -35 and 50 degrees when it discharges. In the case of Lithium-ion mobile battery, the temperature is almost between 0 and 40 degrees. 3) Long lifespan. The battery has a lifespan of about 5,000 cycles. That's why it will be available for about 13 years even if it charges one time every day. Lithium-ion's is about 500 cycles. On the other hand, the main downsides are the size and the price. I want to use it as my battery charger in the future when I go outside in such scorching hot.
