今期係純八卦，就係講下我地前面提到咗幾次嘅一個朋友——綠色植物，我地就叫佢阿木。但係一個人嘅故事點會夠呢，咁啱我地又有幾個我地都識但係成日都唔係好睇得明佢地有啲行為嘅朋友s，所以準備咗幾單出黎一齊食下花生。

EP5.食花生：奇葩朋友

Following this post ( https://www.italki.com/en/post/rgEFP835lHQxQzZVm0UqbB )  I did a podcast on how to succeed as a language learner and what might be your inner (in your mind) obstacles.

You'll hear a story of my student which I took through an experience and helped her realize what was standing on the way of her success. You'll also hear my story how I became the best teacher out of 4 thousand teachers and learn some lessons from it too. 

Finally you can adjust your attitude and how you look at the future by following the advice I gave to my student and in the real time see the difference.

I have your best interest at hand so go ahead and enjoy being the 'brightness adjuster'.

Much love.

Confident language in business communication projects assuredness, authority, and credibility. It instills trust in colleagues, clients, and investors. By using confident language one can reduce confusion, miscommunication, and save time. Here are key elements:
•	Strong Verbs: Replace weak verbs like "maybe" or "could" with active verbs like "will" and "can." This conveys ownership and decisiveness.
•	Precise Language: Avoid vague terms like "a lot" or "kind of." Use specific data, metrics, and examples to substantiate claims.
•	Direct Address: Speak directly to your audience. Avoid hedging phrases like "I think" or "in my opinion" unless emphasizing your perspective.
•	Positive Framing: Focus on the strengths of your ideas and solutions. Downplay limitations with workarounds or future improvements. 
EXAMPLE>
Negative: "We might not meet the original deadline, but we'll try our best."
Positive: "We're on track to deliver a high-quality project by the extended deadline. This allows for final refinements to ensure a successful outcome."

By mastering confident language, you can express your ideas with clarity, influence decision-making, and achieve your business goals.
