For example, "My favorite hobby is reading." Additionally, you'll practice saying, "I enjoy..." followed by your preferred hobby, such as "I enjoy hiking" or "I enjoy cooking."

Why seeing yourself negatively compared to others in a job interview process?

If we can relate this 'perception' way to your job interview process - how will you sell yourself effectively?

We’ve all been there – scrolling through social media, seeing picture-perfect lives, and feeling a pang of envy. It’s easy to fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to others, but it’s a habit that rarely leads to anything positive. So, why should you stop measuring yourself against others?

When you constantly compare yourself to others, you focus on what you lack rather than appreciating what you have. Imagine being a boss and inteviewing you with this 'perception model'. Would you hire you?

Of course not, this type of world's view can lead to a sense of dissatisfaction and unhappiness, preventing you from enjoying the present moment and all the good things in your life. The only time we have is NOW, if comparing ourself to others takes away our NOW - what is the point of living? :)

In the podcast I am sharing some ideas that will help you break free from this habit - turning you into success magnet because you've decided to 'craft' new reality.

Dive into it now and if you want to learn to trust your senses more and get more relaxed on consistent basis - listen to my "Grounding & Centering Exercice" - it's a meditation practice to allow you to tap into the NOW and feel more bliss and hapiness.

Why seeing yourself negatively compared to others in a job interview process_

こんばんは！Atsushiです。
前回に続き、慣用句かんようくについて話します。

今日は顔を使った慣用句を紹介します。
3つ紹介しますね。

ではいきます。

① 顔を汚す（かおをよごす）
これは、相手に迷惑をかけた時などに使います。
例えば、
今回のミスで、上司の顔を汚してしまった。
彼にせっかく紹介してもらったのに面接に受からなかったので、彼の顔を汚してしまった。
とか、使います。

② 顔を貸す（かおをかす）
これは、頼まれて人に会ったりすることですね。
テレビドラマで、ちょっと顔貸せよ、とか言う時ありますね。今あるのかな？最近全然テレビ見ないのでわかりませんが。以前はよく使ってたと思います。日常生活ではあまり使いません。

③ 顔を売る（かおをうる）
これは、いろんな人に名前を知ってもらおうとする、というような意味です。
彼女は顔を売るのが上手だ、とか
顔を売るのは苦手だ、とか使います。

私もオンラインレッスンの先生として、いろんな人に知ってもらいたくてPodcastをはじめました。これも顔を売る為の1つの方法ですね。

日本語の会話練習をしたいみなさん、ぜひ私と話しましょう！プロフィールのところから私のページへ飛べます。ぜひ、お待ちしております！

ということで、いかがですか？
また他の慣用句も紹介していこうと思います。

今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
我们经常需要在各种各样的场合中讲话，有时候是非正式的聊天，有时候是正式的演讲。那么什么样的演讲才是好的演讲呢？我们来听一听刘墉先生的看法。
主持人：您觉得对您来说什么是一场成功的演讲？
刘墉：就是把你心里要说的，你都尽量地完全地顺顺当当地表达出来，而且让听众能够得到感动。你真实的情感，让他能够感触到，而且他们感动了之后能够延伸下去，就（是）说产生影响力。我记得有一次我在山西太原做公益演讲，讲完了大家除了有公益的捐款之外，出了场子知道有一个有个孩子在那哭，说他脚踏车被偷了，一个听讲的人就说没关系，我来出钱我给你去买一辆。让我非常地惊讶，那个人后来跟我说，他说：“刘老师，我听了演讲，我觉得我们让下一代快乐，帮别人解决问题，那其实就是解决我们自己心理的问题。”也就是它产生了正面的影响，我们不会只是希望在这个场子里头他感动，应该能够延伸下去，甚至能够影响人的一生。而且我的经验，一场成功的演讲，尤其是感性的演讲，当你讲完的时候，除了掌声之外，你会注意很多人会留在场子上不急着走，他们依然坐在那边。为什么？他们正在取决于他们咀嚼所听到的东西。我们要讲的东西让人能在现场听得精彩，让他在未来能够咀嚼，让他人生当中能够实现，这就是好的演讲。
你觉得什么是好的演讲？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
