In this episode we are going to learn 【Season】in Chinese. 
--------------------------------------------------
As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know alreay, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practise until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.

Setting SMART Goals for the New Year

From a job seeker to a value-giver. How do I be offered a position instead of begging for one?

Those who don't listen to this recording may create these kinds of feelings and thoughts in HR managers minds: failure attitude, lack of impression, inability to persuade, lack of sales skills, and continuous doubts.

Will you hire a person that gives you these impressions?

Can you relate to this statement: "I feel like begging for a job instead of offering my services?".

Have you heard people do this? Or even yourself?

It seems that they forget they have experience, value, solved cases, success stories, etc.

It seems that a job interview process clutters their imagination with 'what has to be done' in a job interview suggested by Google, but they forget who they are and what they stand for.

Can you relate to it?

It's like your 5–10–20 years of experience don't matter any longer.

Why did you throw it away? Why have this attitude, and what can it cause during a job interview?

Dive into the recording now and benefit from one of my students, Arina; she was the one that inspired me to record this success secret for you.

And when you are ready, apply for my trial class and be accepted for 1-on-1 private coaching right now.

El Herbario Nacional de México (MEXU)

El Herbario Nacional de México (MEXU) custodia la colección más importante de plantas mexicanas. Con más de 1 300 000 ejemplares es el herbario más grande del país y América Latina; se encuentra entre uno de los diez herbarios más activos del mundo.

Esta colección es un logro de numerosas generaciones de botánicos y exploradores nacionales y extranjeros. Su historia se remonta a finales del siglo XIX cuando surge el Instituto Médico Nacional en 1888, como la institución oficial encargada de integrar los conocimientos sobre los recursos naturales. Hacia 1915 el herbario se consolidó e impulsó al reunirse las colecciones nacionales de plantas como parte de la Dirección de Estudios Biológicos. En 1929 la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, a través del Instituto de Biología, adquiere la custodia del herbario en donde el trabajo y la visión de sus administradores, científicos de talla mundial, han logrado mantener activa la colección dotándola de la infraestructura necesaria para su crecimiento, preservación y uso por la comunidad científica.

Las colecciones continuamente se incrementan con las colectas del personal académico asociado al herbario, por el programa de intercambio de especimenes con otras instituciones y por donaciones. Además, el herbario tiene su propio programa de crecimiento en áreas prioritarias y distribuye los duplicados a otros herbarios a través del intercambio. El acervo está disponible a través del programa de préstamos, lo que permite que la colección se actualice de acuerdo a los cambios taxonómicos.
