春天到啦，不知道大家心情会不会也变得好起来。世界本身也许不太平，但仍然要记得热爱生活呀！
今天和大家分享的是张爱玲的《爱》里面的一个片段。

“于千万人之中遇见你所要遇见的人，于千万年之中，时间的无涯的荒野里，没有早一步，也没有晚一步，刚巧赶上了，那也没有别的话可说，惟有轻轻地问一声：“噢，你也在这里吗？”

I'll talk about how to say ' I want ice cream naturally. You'll learn how to use ' V고 싶다' Vs  'N 원하다'  in this episode.  *V :verb  *N:noun
To say 'to want' 'V고 싶다' is more commonly used in everyday conversations. Whereas 'N 원하다' is not that frequently used because it is more poetic, formal, and literate.

I want to go there. 거기 가고 싶어요.  *거기 there  가다 * to do
I want to eat it.        그거 먹고 싶어요.  *그거 that thing  *먹다 to eat
I want to sleep.        (잠)  자고 싶어요.  *(잠) 자다 to sleep

さいきん、日本では5月10日に母の日がありました。お母さんの日です。お母さんにありがとう、と感謝をつたえます。日本では母の日に、手紙やプレゼントをわたしたり、お花のカーネーションをおくったり、家の仕事をてつだったりします。私の母の日のばあいは、お昼ご飯においしいステーキのレストランに家族みんなで行きました。サラダ、スープ、飲み物、ステーキ、デザートのコース料理を食べました。そのあとはケーキ屋さんに行って、ケーキを３つ買いました。今のきせつはメロンがおいしいのでメロンケーキを２つ、チョコレートケーキを１つお母さんに買いました。家に帰ったあとは、とくべつな夜ご飯をつくって”いつもありがとう”のきもちをつたえました。私が小さいときは、手紙で”ママ大好き！”と書いていましたが、もうはずかしいのでできません。でも大人になった今は、”いつもありがとう！”と伝えました。
みなさんの国では母の日はいつですか？どんなことをしますか？
じゃあ今日のエピソードはここまでです。またね！

Habit stacking in a business context is a behavioral technique for integrating desired routines into existing workflows. It involves pairing a new, target behavior (e.g., reviewing daily sales reports) with an established trigger habit (e.g., checking your inbox each morning). By capitalizing on the automatic nature of existing habits, the cue to perform the target behavior becomes ingrained, increasing its adoption and persistence. Habit stacking can be used to improve individual productivity (e.g., streamlining post-meeting follow-ups) or foster team-level behavioral change (e.g., implementing a daily huddle for information sharing). The effectiveness of this technique hinges on selecting appropriate trigger habits – frequent, consistent actions with minimal cognitive load. Additionally, target habits should be small, achievable actions to ensure successful integration and minimize disruption to existing workflows. Through repetition and positive reinforcement, habit stacking strengthens the association between the trigger and target behavior, ultimately leading to the desired routine becoming an automatic part of the workday.

Persuasion shouldn't be avoided. It's a good thing. Businesses need to be persuasive.  Whether it's securing a new client, rallying a team, or negotiating a deal, the ability to influence and inspire action is paramount. 

The good news? Persuasion isn't about manipulation. It's about understanding your audience and crafting messages that resonate with their needs and goals. Here's how to hone your persuasive communication skills:

Tailor your message to resonate with the specific interests and motivations of your audience. Research their background, challenges, and communication style. 

People care about how something improves their situation.  Instead of listing features, explain how your product or service solves a specific problem or fulfills a desired outcome. 

Back up your claims with credible statistics, case studies, and testimonials. Data adds weight to your arguments and builds trust. 

Weave compelling narratives that illustrate your points and connect with your audience on an emotional level. Stories are memorable and foster empathy. 

Persuasion is a two-way street. Pay close attention to your audience's concerns and questions. Address them directly and demonstrate your willingness to understand their perspective.

Avoid jargon and technical terms. Use strong verbs, active voice, and concise language to ensure your message is easily understood. 

Speak with conviction and enthusiasm. Projecting confidence makes your arguments more believable and inspires trust. 

Your body language and tone of voice play a significant role in persuasion. Make eye contact, maintain good posture, and speak with a clear, steady voice. 

Clearly articulate the action you desire from your audience. Do you want them to sign a contract, invest in a project, or simply consider your point of view?
