アメリカにすんでいる　りゆう１



你因敌人的缘故，从婴孩和吃奶的口中，建立了能力，使仇敌和报仇的闭口无言。

Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. (NIV)

Life Lessons from Aesop's Fables

Episode 10: The Oak & the Reeds

Success isn't handed out, and it certainly isn't neat. Welcome to the show where we pull back the curtain on the real trade-offs, bold risks, and raw sacrifices female CEOs made to build multi-million dollar empires. From cutting out dating and risking personal savings to defying social norms and bending the rules—we talk about what it actually takes to reach the top. No sugarcoating, no fluff. Just real strategies from women who chose greatness over comfort.
