大家好，我是潘妮，欢迎来到古典智慧拾贝。在这里，我主要与大家分享中国古代的思想家的智慧。

今天的智慧来自《中庸》。这本书是一部儒家经典，主要讲学习的方式和做人的规范。几千年来，都是中国文化的经典。

喜怒哀乐之未发，谓之中，发而皆中节，谓之和。

也就是说，快乐、生气、伤心和喜悦这样的情感没有发生时，叫做“中”，在合适的情况下发生，叫做“和”。

“中”与“和”这两个字，在中国的语言文化中，既简单，又极其重要。

谢谢你的收听，我们下次见。

Hello everyone, my name is Penny, welcome to this channel. In this channel, I will share with you wisdoms of Chinese thinkers and philosophers from the past.

The wisdom of the day comes from “The Doctrine of the Mean”, which is a confucianist classic. It mainly talks about study methods and what does it mean of being a human. For thousands of years, it is revered as a classic of Chinese culture.

While there are no stirrings of pleasure, anger, sorrow or joy, the mind may be said to be in the state of Equilibrium.

When those feelings have been stirred, and they act in their due degree, there ensues what may be called the state of Harmony.

This two words (character 中 and 和 ) is so simple but so important in Chinese language and culture. 

Thanks for your listening, and I will see you next time.

Negotiation is a cornerstone of leadership. From securing contracts to resolving team conflicts, leaders must navigate agreements that benefit all parties. Here's how to excel at this vital skill:

1. Know Your BATNA: Before entering negotiations, determine your Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement (BATNA). This empowers you to walk away if an offer falls short of your needs. A strong BATNA strengthens your position and gives you room to make concessions.

2. Collaborative Spirit: Aim for win-win solutions. Leaders understand successful negotiation isn't about dominance, but building long-term relationships. Focus on common interests and identify areas where compromise can create mutual benefit.

3. Active Listening: Master the art of active listening. Pay close attention to the other party's needs and concerns. Ask clarifying questions to ensure you fully grasp their position. This fosters trust and allows you to tailor your approach.

4. Clear Communication: Articulate your goals and needs clearly, using strong communication skills.  Back up claims with data and evidence to support your arguments.  Be assertive, yet respectful, avoiding aggressive tactics that can damage relationships.

5. Leverage Body Language: Nonverbal cues speak volumes. Maintain confident eye contact, an upright posture, and avoid fidgeting. Projecting confidence strengthens your position and demonstrates your seriousness.

6. Be Flexible, Not Fixed: While you enter negotiations with clear goals, be prepared to adapt.  Unexpected issues may arise.  Maintain a flexible mindset, willing to consider alternative proposals that achieve your core objectives.

7. Patience is Key: Negotiations rarely happen overnight. Be patient, allowing time for discussion and counter-proposals. Don't rush the process to avoid settling for an unfavorable deal.

By mastering these strategies, leaders can transform negotiations from battles into opportunities for collaboration and mutual success.

SAN JUAN 2.

Las verduras orientales tienen nombres regionales difíciles de pronunciar: ¿tun kua?, ¿tai choi?, ¿bu jao? Lo pa es un rábano blanco; shi shuan es la pimienta china y tofu, el queso de soya. También hay jengibre, hoja de crisantemo, chícharo chino, frijol soya y otros ingredientes. En una vitrina se muestran productos orientales envasados, como el vinagre de arroz, la pasta de ajonjolí, el fideo transparente, el alga para sopa, la acelga china, el lirio o el mochigome, especie de arroz dulce.

Y en un instante se puede pasar de China a España en este mercado. Aquí se pueden comprar embutidos artesanales de cuidada elaboración: morcillas, chistorras, butifarras catalana, blanca, negra, fuet, sobreasada. En los locales de abarrotes –San Juan tiene todos los giros de un mercado normal– se encuentra latería de Europa, vinagres de varios tipos, buenas pastas italianas, los mejores aceites de oliva y productos similares.

Enormes bolas de sabor son los quesos gouda holandeses, que se exhiben en algunas de las cremerías.  negocio con un siglo de tradición, herencia de la abuela. Españoles, italianos, franceses, holandeses, argentinos… la Torre de Babel desfila en busca de los mejores quesos europeos y artesanías culinarias.

“La clientela de este mercado es gente selectiva que cuida mucho su calidad de vida y hace un esfuerzo en tiempo y dinero para comer bien,” 

 “Temprano ve uno en el mercado a hombres de negocios, políticos y artistas que vienen en persona a escoger su comida. La sociedad de consumo ve al cliente sólo como un signo de pesos, cuando a los latinos nos gusta el calor humano, platicar. Aquí tratamos que el cliente se sienta un rey y con ellos establecemos relaciones de muchos años, de generaciones.”
