我的家
6月1号，星期三，天气很好。
我是一只小猫，我的名字叫“小九”。今天，我的爸爸在商店看见我，带我回家了，我的新家在中国北京。家里有三口人，爸爸、妈妈、他们的孩子，还有一只大狗。
在我的家，桌子上有电视、电脑、水果。我喜欢在沙发上睡觉。每天上午八点，爸爸妈妈去工作，孩子去学校。下午两点，我和妈妈一起去医院，医生是个漂亮的小姐，她常常给我苹果，可是我是小猫，我不喜欢苹果，我喜欢鱼。 
今天天气很热，我很想睡觉。孩子在做作业，他每天有很多的作业。明天，妈妈要和朋友去饭店，我也想一起去。

In this episode we are going to learn 【Wearing】in Chinese. 
--------------------------------------------------
As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
Step 1: listen and catch the words you know already, have a guess about the content.
Step 2: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
Step 3: listen one more time, repeat after it.
Step 4: practice until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.

みなさんはヤドリギ（宿木）を知っていますか？
ヤドリギは木の上で育つ植物で、丸い形を作ります。冬でも緑色の葉っぱをつけているので簡単に見つけることができます。私はドイツで初めてヤドリギがある木を見て、鳥の巣があるのかなと思っていました。
ところが、先日ある日本の俳優さんがインスタグラムにヤドリギの写真をアップしているのを見つけて、この植物の正体が分かりました。
調べてみると、ヤドリギは地面では育たず、木の幹や枝の上で栄養をもらって育つ植物のようです。ヨーロッパではクリスマスに幸運を呼ぶシンボルとして玄関に飾るそうです。


育つ：そだつ　grow
植物：しょくぶつ　plant
鳥（とり）の巣（す）：　bird nest
俳優：はいゆう　actor
正体：しょうたい　true nature
地面：じめん　ground
幹：みき　trunk
枝：えだ　branch
栄養：えいよう　nutrition
幸運：こううん　luck
玄関：げんかん　entrance
飾る：かざる　decorate

Episode 27 : Idioms for visiting a doctor


A well-crafted PMS acts as a guiding principle, outlining an individual's core values, aspirations, and desired impact. It transcends the immediate concerns of a specific job and offers a long-term perspective on career fulfillment. Upskilling becomes most impactful when targeted towards capabilities that directly contribute to the goals and values outlined in the PMS.

Consider an individual with a personal mission statement emphasizing innovation and environmental responsibility. Upskilling in areas like sustainable design thinking or green technology directly aligns with their core values and aspirations. This targeted approach fosters deeper engagement with the learning process, leading to a more effective acquisition of new skills.

Furthermore, a personal mission statement can inform the selection of upskilling opportunities beyond technical skills. Communication, leadership, and emotional intelligence development, for example, can empower individuals to advocate for their ideas, navigate complex organizational dynamics, and build strong collaborative relationships – all crucial aspects of achieving their desired impact.

The synergy between upskilling and a personal mission statement is a two-way street. As individuals acquire new skills and knowledge, their personal mission statement may evolve to reflect their expanding capabilities and redefine their aspirations. This continuous cycle of learning and reflection fosters a sense of purpose and propels individuals towards achieving their full potential.

Organizations can leverage this connection by encouraging employees to articulate their personal mission statements and then curate upskilling opportunities that align with those statements. This not only fosters a more engaged and motivated workforce, but also ensures the skills acquired contribute directly to achieving the organization's strategic goals.
