Что такое сказка? 

주말마다 운동을 하기로 했어요.

주말마다 운동을 하기로 결심한 민수 씨는 오늘 아침에도 일찍 일어났습니다.
보통 주말이면 늦잠을 자고 싶은 마음이 크지만, 건강을 위해서 아침 7시에 일어나기로 했습니다.
일어나자마자 스트레칭을 하고, 간단하게 바나나와 물을 먹고 나서 근처 공원으로 나갔습니다.

공원에는 이미 운동을 하는 사람들이 많이 나와 있었습니다. 어떤 사람은 조깅을 하고 있었고, 어떤 사람은 강아지와 산책을 하고 있었습니다.
민수 씨는 가볍게 10분 정도 걷다가 천천히 달리기 시작했습니다.
처음에는 숨이 조금 찼지만, 점점 몸이 풀리면서 상쾌한 기분이 들었습니다.
30분 정도 조깅을 한 후에는 벤치에 앉아 물을 마시면서 잠시 쉬었습니다.

운동을 마치고 집으로 돌아오는 길에, 민수 씨는 갑자기 휴대전화 진동 소리를 들었습니다.
친구 수진 씨에게서 온 메시지였습니다.
"오늘 저녁에 시간 있어? 새로 생긴 식당에 같이 갈래?"
민수 씨는 평소에 수진 씨와 자주 만나지는 못했기 때문에 반가운 마음으로 "좋아! 몇 시에 만날까?"라고 답장을 보냈습니다.

수진 씨는 저녁 6시에 시청역 근처에서 만나자고 했습니다.
민수 씨는 집에 돌아와 샤워를 하고, 잠깐 낮잠을 잤습니다.
오후가 되자, 옷을 갈아입고 시청역으로 나갔습니다.

약속 장소에 도착하니 수진 씨가 먼저 와 있었습니다. 두 사람은 새로 생긴 식당에 들어갔습니다.
이 식당은 다양한 한식을 조금 색다르게 만들어서 유명해졌다고 했습니다.
메뉴판을 보니 불고기 덮밥, 김치 치즈전, 해물 순두부찌개 등 익숙하지만 특별한 음식들이 있었습니다.

민수 씨와 수진 씨는 불고기 덮밥과 해물 순두부찌개를 주문했습니다.
음식을 기다리는 동안 두 사람은 요즘 하고 있는 일에 대해 이야기했습니다.
수진 씨는 최근에 회사에서 부서를 옮겼다고 했습니다. 새로운 부서에서는 외국 고객들과 일하는 일이 많아져서 영어를 더 공부하고 있다고 했습니다.
민수 씨는 요즘 운동을 시작했다고 하자, 수진 씨도 운동을 시작해 보고 싶다고 했습니다.

잠시 후 음식이 나왔습니다. 두 사람은 맛있게 식사를 하며 즐거운 시간을 보냈습니다.
식사가 끝난 후에는 근처 카페로 자리를 옮겨 커피를 마시면서 더 많은 이야기를 나눴습니다.
그렇게 두 사람은 오랜만에 만나 하루를 알차게 보냈습니다.

What do you do if you see an object in a plastic bag lying around at a bus stop?

Most people would say: "Don't touch it!"

That's very good advice — most of the time.

But an object that was once found in a plastic shopping bag at a bus stop has just sold for $22.3 million at auction.

It was a painting by a great artist from Venice known as Titian. It's called The Rest on the Flight into Egypt, and it has a long and interesting history.

Although it's thought of as a masterpiece, it's one of the artist's smaller paintings. In fact, it's only 46 centimeters high and 63 centimeters wide.

Titian painted it early in the 16th century, when he was 20.

The painting, which depicts Jesus, Mary and Joseph from the Bible, has been owned by a number of rich and famous Europeans, including Austrian emperors.

It was taken from Vienna in 1809 by French soldiers, although it was later returned to the Austrian capital.

Later, it was bought by a British collector, but it was stolen in 1995.

And for seven years it was lost. After a reward of almost $130,000 was offered to anyone who could find the painting, it turned up at a London bus stop.

It had no frame when it was found by a well known art detective, but it was in quite good condition.

It had been expected to make between $19 million and $32 million at auction in London. The final amount was a new record for a Titian painting.

But that still might not be a good enough reason to go looking in plastic bags at bus stops!

One of the key drivers of workplace anxiety is the fear of the unknown. When faced with a high-stakes negotiation, it's natural to feel apprehensive about the potential outcomes and the consequences of our actions. To combat this, it's important to thoroughly prepare and gather as much information as possible. Research the other party, understand their interests and priorities, and anticipate potential objections or roadblocks. The more informed and prepared you are, the more confident and in control you'll feel during the negotiation process.

Another common source of workplace anxiety is the fear of confrontation or conflict. Many people shy away from negotiations, worried that they'll come across as aggressive or that the interaction will turn adversarial. However, effective negotiation is not about winning at all costs; it's about finding a mutually beneficial solution. Approach the negotiation with a collaborative mindset, focusing on finding common ground and exploring creative options that address the needs of both parties.

Instead of viewing the negotiation as a high-stakes battle, consider it an opportunity to showcase your problem-solving skills and demonstrate your value to the organization. Shift your mindset from "I have to win" to "I have the chance to find a solution that works for everyone." This subtle shift in perspective can help reduce the sense of personal threat and allow you to engage in the negotiation process with greater confidence and composure.

Finally, it's important to remember that workplace anxiety is a natural and common response to high-pressure situations. Rather than trying to eliminate it entirely, focus on developing strategies to manage and channel that energy in a productive way. Engage in stress-reducing activities, such as deep breathing exercises or mindfulness practices, to help you stay grounded and focused during the negotiation process.
