Yo-You 与你同行（YCT）

YCT1-4

Halo! Wah, sudah lama ya! Apa kabar semua? 
Saya baru kembali ke Jepang, dari perjalanan ke luar negeri selama kira-kira dua bulan. Saya sedikit capek, jadi akhir minggu, saya terus tidur haha… 
Kali ini, saya mau sedikit bercerita tentang perjalanan saya dengan pesawat, waktu saya kembali ke Jepang. Saat pesawat saya ada di atas samudra pasifik, tiba-tiba pilot bilang "Karena ada masalah dengan mesin pesawat, kita akan kembali ke tempat asal"  Saya kaget dan takut!! Eh, ada apa ini? Kami sudah terbang sekitar 7 jam, dan harus kembali lagi?! 
Mungkin Pilot juga bingung dan panik ya, tapi Pilot pasti sudah berpikir dengan kepala dingin dan memutuskan yang terbaik untuk semua. "Berpikir dengan kepala dingin" artinya "berpikir dengan tenang", "Think calmly", dan di Bahasa Jepang artinya "冷静に考えます”.
Semua penumpang di dalam pesawat juga tidak panik dan tidak marah. Mereka menghadapi situasi ini dengan kepala dingin. Hebat ya! Akhirnya, kami bisa terbang lagi dan sampai di Jepang dengan selamat. 
Apa kalian pernah punya situasi seperti ini? Di antara kalian, pasti pernah ada di situasi yang menakutkan atau situasi yang membuat sangat marah. Saya harap, dengan pengalaman saya kali ini, kita bisa selalu ingat, berpikir dengan kepala dingin, biasanya akan selalu mendapat hasil yang lebih baik daripada berpikir terburu-buru. Kalian setuju?
Ok, selamat beraktivitas semuanya! ^^

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの12回目です。前回から少し日にちが空いてしまいました。私は今月の18日から子宮筋腫の手術のために入院することになり、ポッドキャストを更新できませんでした。手術は無事終わり、今朝退院しました。5月の終わりから大学のクラスも始まるので、準備しなければいけません。桜はもう散って、外は暖かくなってきました。
Hello, this is episode 12 of season 2 of my podcast. It has been a little while since the last time. I have not been able to update the podcast as I have been in hospital since the 18th of this month for an operation for fibroids. The operation went well and I was discharged this morning, and I have to prepare for university classes starting at the end of May. The cherry blossoms have already fallen and it is getting warmer outside.
私は普段、毎日仕事をしています。一週間以上仕事を休んだのは5年ぶりです。最後に仕事を休んだ時は、2018年の春にロサンゼルスに旅行に行った時でした。だけど、ロサンゼルスでは仕事を続けていたので、完全な休みではありませんでした。今回はパソコンやインターネットが使えなかったので、完全な休みです。入院している時は、本を読んだり、携帯アプリのゲームをしたりして、時間を過ごしました。手術は成功しましたが、傷や体調はまだ完全に回復していません。１ヶ月後にもう一度検査をします。
I usually work every day. It has been five years since I have taken more than a week off work. The last time I took time off work was when I travelled to Los Angeles in the spring of 2018. But it wasn't a complete holiday because I continued working in Los Angeles. This time it was a complete holiday because I wasn't able to use a computer or the Internet. When I was in hospital, I spent my time reading books and playing game apps. The operation was a success, but my wounds and condition have not fully recovered yet; I will have another check-up in a month's time.
入院している間に読んだ本は、エマニュエル・トッド(Emmanuel Todd)の本です。エマニュエル・トッドは1951年生まれのフランスの歴史人口学者です。彼は人口、宗教、家族構成などの世界中の歴史のデータを研究して、これからの社会や政治の出来事を正確に予想できることで有名です。私は、第三次世界大戦の可能性について調べていたとき、彼のことを知りました。 学者じゃなくても、歴史や社会については、知識があるに越したことはありません。「越したことはない」とは、「何かは常に一番いいアイデア」という意味です。動詞・名詞・形容詞に使います。たとえば、健康に越したことはありません。

Japanese Lessons with Mayuna

S2 Ep12. 手術の後

Understanding Different Perspectives:

Step into Their Shoes:  Each department has its own metrics for success.  Marketing might prioritize customer acquisition, while engineering focuses on product quality and  feasibility.  Understanding their goals fosters empathy and reveals potential areas of collaboration.

Communicate Clearly: Clearly outline your desired outcomes and explain how they align with the company's overall objectives. Frame your requests in a way that resonates with their priorities.

Finding Common Ground:

Focus on Benefits:  Negotiation shouldn't be a win-lose scenario.  Instead, seek solutions that provide value to all parties involved. Brainstorm creative solutions that address everyone's concerns.

Be Prepared to Compromise:  Recognize that concessions are often necessary. Identify areas where you have flexibility and be willing to make trade-offs that won't severely hinder your core objectives.

Active Listening and Collaboration:

Listen Attentively:  Pay close attention to their concerns and reservations. Ask clarifying questions to ensure a complete understanding of their perspective.

Collaborative Problem-Solving:  Work together to address challenges.  Their insights might reveal unforeseen roadblocks or opportunities you haven't considered.

Maintaining Positive Dynamics:

Respectful Demeanor:  Throughout the negotiation, maintain a professional and respectful tone.  Avoid accusatory language or dismissive attitudes.

Focus on the Future: Don't dwell on past disagreements.  Keep the conversation focused on reaching a mutually beneficial solution moving forward.

Consistency is key to measurable progress. Confidence is grown from control and preparation.
