Fear #2 Being afraid of making mistakes

The fear of making mistakes persecutes many people, regardless of their achievements, age and social status. Where does the fear of making a mistake come from, and how to overcome it?

Many people are hesitant to do something serious, not so much because they are afraid of failure, but because of fear of public condemnation or censure.

Often, such anti-motivation is a consequence of a hidden inferiority complex: a person is so dependent on public opinion that he loses the ability to make decisions on his own.

In the podcast I will share some ideas about the fear and what do top managers look for in their employees (since C-level managers are my regular students).

Grab a comfortable sit, make yourself comfortable and dive deep into the recording.

In the episode "How to Remember Any English Word," Teacher Smith emphasizes the importance of feeling confident while speaking English. They suggest that confidence is key to remembering words easily and provide a simple way to boost confidence instantly. Teacher Smith illustrates the concept by comparing it to rescuing a little girl from a pool, highlighting the idea that the value you bring to a conversation is more significant than any fear you may have.

The episode advises against focusing too much on fears, such as pronunciation or translating phrases, during conversations, as it can lead to forgetting words. Instead, Teacher Smith encourages listeners to focus on listening actively, as simply being present in a conversation is valuable. Additionally, they reassure listeners that making mistakes is natural, even for native speakers, and emphasize the importance of relaxing and letting speech flow naturally.

Overall, the episode offers two key points for speaking confidently: valuing participation in conversations and embracing imperfection. By prioritizing these principles, listeners can boost their confidence in speaking English.

こんにちは、Japanese with Yoshikoへようこそ！今日はサウジでのキャンプについて話そうと思います。今日のフレーズは「醍醐味」です。意味を知らない人はどういう意味か想像しながら聞いてみてくださいね。

先週末、家族15人で砂漠のキャンプに行きました。恐らく多くの日本人が想像するキャンプというのは、森の中で3,4人くらいが寝れるようなテントを張って、近くで自炊したり、焚火をしたり、星を眺めたり、自然の中でゆっくりとした時間を過ごす感じだと思います。
サウジのキャンプはそれとは全然違いました。サウジアラビアはみなさんご存じの通り、砂漠が多い国です。車で少し走れば、砂漠のような場所が見えてきます。今回行ったキャンプは家から車で40分ほどのところにありました。砂漠と言っても、キャンプができるような場所はテントを張ったり、車が簡単に行き来できるように、地面が硬くないといけません。そういった場所にはレンタルできるキャンプがいくつも集まっています。行く前は、私たちのキャンプだけがポツンと一つだけあるのかなと思っていましたが、結構賑やかな場所でした。通常、そういったキャンプでは寝泊りすることはせず、午後2時ごろから夜の2時くらいまで滞在します。明るいうちは車でドリフトしたり、夜は音楽やボードゲームを楽しんだりします。
金曜日はサウジの週末で予約がいっぱいだったので、土曜日に借りました。15人くらいが入れる大きなテントが二つと真ん中にソファとテーブルがあるラウンジ、ダイニングテーブル、グリルセット、ミニキッチン、トイレ、少し遊べる設備がついて約7万円でした。インスタグラムで見た写真と全然違いました。トイレのシートや遊べる設備が壊れていたりしたので、これで7万円は高いと思います。とはいえ、子供たちはいつもと違う場所でおいしいものを食べたり、みんなで外で思いっきり遊べて楽しそうでした。一番のハイライトは、4輪バイクに乗ったことでした。キャンプのすぐ外にバイクを楽しめる場所があり、ヘルメットなしで息子と二人で乗りました。砂の坂を上ったり、平地ではスピードを出したり、とてもワイルドな経験ができました。これこそ、砂漠の醍醐味ですね。

どうでしたか？みなさんのキャンプのイメージとは少し違ったのではないでしょうか。今日のフレーズは「醍醐味」でしたね。意味は、「本当の面白さ、楽しさ」です。それでは例文です。「バレーボールの醍醐味は、スピード感です。観戦中、常にドキドキします。」「仕事の醍醐味はお客様に感謝されることです。」それではまた、ばいばーい。

【今日の質問の解答】
①地面が硬い場所
②午後2時から夜の2時まで
③4輪バイクに乗ったこと

第19回　砂漠でキャンプ　Camping in the desert

La Ciudad de México puede visitarse en cualquier estación, aún en invierno ofrece la misma vitalidad que en pleno verano, que es, por cierto, cuando suele llover un más.

Si vienes en primavera (entre marzo y mayo), o en otoño (de septiembre a noviembre) puedes evitar los extremos del frío y la lluvia, aunque mayo suele ser el mes más caluroso.

Durante los meses de invierno, de diciembre a febrero, las temperaturas pueden llegar a ser bastante bajas, sobre todo por las noches y la madrugada. Durante el verano, puedes encontrar fuertes lluvias, por lo general tienen una duración máxima de un par de horas, lo cual suele ocasionar problemas de drenaje e inundaciones menores y por lo tanto podrías llegar a pasar mucho más tiempo atascado en el tráfico.

La primavera y el otoño suelen ser muy agradables, con tardes cálidas y noches frescas. Con un sombrero y un buen bloqueador solar podrás sentirte protegido, ya que los rayos del sol pueden ser intensos en casi cualquier época del año.

El Festival Iberoamericano de Cultura Musical Vive Latino se celebra a mediados de marzo en el Foro Sol y ofrece una variada programación de grupos musicales nacionales e internacionales de distintos géneros. 
EL Festival del Centro Histórico tiene lugar a principios de abril e incluye bailes, música, artes visuales, opera, teatro e historia en muchos sitios de importancia histórica.
El Equinoccio de Primavera se celebra anualmente en Teotihuacán.
Semana Santa y Pascua: la ciudad prácticamente se encuentra vacía durante estas dos semanas, ya que la mayoría de las universidades programan vacaciones similares al spring break. En estos días el tráfico y las idas en metro, u otro tipo de transporte público, suelen ser mucho más tranquilas.

“Well I'm certainly not a photography geek, but I do like to take photos now and again using my smartphone camera. I remember about a year ago I went on a trip to Phu Quoc, which is a very beautiful island in the south of Vietnam, and famous for its amazing sunsets. 




I guess like most tourists, I really wanted to get that perfect shot of one of the island's famous sunsets. I remember, I first did some research online to try and find out the best spots to photograph the sunset on the island. After deciding on what I thought would be the best location, I made sure to get there early as I didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity.




The sunset certainly wasn’t a letdown, and lived up to its reputation.

I don’t actually remember how many shots I took, but I’m sure it was at least a few dozen, and I just hoped that even a few of them would do it justice.

After I got back to my hotel room, I started going through all the photos I had taken on my phone, and there was one that really stood out. It was the perfect shot, and really captured the beauty of the sun setting over the beach, with the sea in the background. 




I felt proud as punch when i looked at it, and couldn’t wait to post it on my social media account, for the world to see. Within just a few minutes I started to receive lots of likes and complementary comments on the post, which really made me feel so proud of it.
