Propósitos de año nuevo- Parte 2

孙子说，做事情的时候，争取主动（zhēng qǔ zhǔ dòng,to seize the initiative)是最难的，也是最重要的。什么叫“争取主动”呢？就是让事情按照你希望的样子发生，而不是总是跟着别人跑。
那怎么做呢？孙子告诉我们三个简单的方法：
第一，保持力量（bǎo chí lì liàng,to maintian the strength)。 就像你要去爬山，不能为了快，就把水和食物都扔掉，那样你会没力气。但也不能走得太慢，错过看美丽的日出。所以，做事情要准备好，但不能累坏自己。
第二，灵活改变(líng huó gǎi biàn,to be more flexible)，像水一样。 水遇到石头，就会绕过去。我们做事也一样。记住一个秘诀：避开别人很强的地方。 比如打篮球，如果对方个子很高，你就不要总想着在他面前投篮，可以试试传球给队友。
第三，选对时机(xuǎn duì shí jī，to find the right time)。 想象一下，你的朋友刚跑完步，很累的时候，你不会去跟他比赛跑步，对吧？你会等他休息好了再玩。

最后，孙子还说了几个“不要(not to do)”：

不要和比你厉害很多的人直接对抗（duì kàng，to compete）
小心，那可能是个圈套（quān tào，trap）！
给别人留一点空间（kōng jiān，space）。

你看，它告诉我们：成功的关键，不是用力气，而是用头脑。 要主动，要根据不同的情况，灵活地改变我们的方法。
下次，当你遇到一个难题，不管是学习还是和朋友相处，都可以想一想孙子的这三个建议：1.保持力量，2.灵活改变，3.选对时机。 试试看，你会发现自己变得更从容(cóng róng，to take it easy)、更聪明了。

希望这个小智慧能帮到你。我们下次课再见！

In the moment for the moment,

“In the moment for the moment” suggests focusing entirely on the present, and not dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. It implies a state of mindful awareness and complete engagement with whatever is happening now.

One Minute Speaking Challenge: Gratefulness.

Un porcellino riesce a intrufolarsi dentro un gregge di pecore e inizia a vivere con loro. Un giorno il pastore prende il porcellino e quest'ultimo inizia a dibattersi e a urlare. Le pecore non capiscono il motivo del suo atteggiamento spaventato, ma il porcellino sa che cosa potrebbe succedergli...

Part of mastering communication is learning the arts. Here is a business themed poem for you to explore. After practicing with this, make your own. Take some time to ponder your business as well. 

In the bustling business bazaar, bold bankers briskly bargain. Trading trinkets, tallying treasure, they twist tongues with finance fervor. Swiftly scribing, stocks they stir, savvy whispers in the blur.
