Anyone who is focused on growing and success will go through a phase where you leave your old self behind. As a result, you can no longer relate to your old friends. However, you are in that  phase wherein you are not fully developed  yet for your new friends.

THE LONELY PHASE OF GROWTH PEOPLE DO NOT TALK ABOUT

Today we talk about young.
What is young?  related to age?  or depend on appearance? maybe something inside?
今天是3月18日，我的城市，天气晴，17到26度，越来越热了。
早上出门的时候，我遇到我的邻居，她是一位80多岁的老奶奶。“奶奶，早上好！”我大声的打招呼。这位奶奶之前生了一场大病，所以她现在走路很难，每一步都只能往前走10厘米，她希望自己走的快一些，但是她的腿和脚都不行。她对我笑了笑，然后说“年轻真好！”
年轻，我已经很长时间不认为自己年轻了，可是，老奶奶说的很对，她80多岁，在她看来，我当然很年轻。
你觉得年轻是什么？18岁，28岁，还是30岁以前？看起来很帅很漂亮，而不是别人觉得你是个又老又丑的人？有些人认为年轻是一种状态，和几岁没有关系。
我呢，我觉得，年轻不是你几岁，而是你有没有下面这些能力。
第一个能力是吃，你能吃所有的东西，你知道有些人甚至不能吃糖
第二个能力是睡，现在的人很多已经不能好好睡觉了，他们已经离不开电脑和手机，上床以后想各种各样的事情，就是没法睡觉。
第三，最重要的是，对每件事情，每一天，你是不是都充满着希望和激情。只有这样，一个人才是真的年轻，每一天都是新的生活。
你怎么看的呢？欢迎来和我讨论。

嗨，大家好！欢迎来到今天的播客，我是你们的中文学习向导小韩老师。你是不是偶尔会好奇，那些方块字里藏着怎样的故事？今天，就来聊聊中文，带你看看学中文有多有趣！

先讲讲中文里的象形字，这可是中文的一大特色。比如“日”字，你看它方方正正的，就像天空中圆圆的太阳。再看“月”，弯弯的形状，是不是和天上的月亮很像？学会这些象形字，就像打开了一扇通往古老中国的大门，能看到古人是怎么观察世界、创造文字的。
 
中文的发音也很有意思。就拿四个声调来说，同样是“ma”这个音，第一声是“妈”，叫妈妈的时候用；第二声“麻”，想到麻麻辣辣的美食；第三声“马”，是奔跑的骏马；第四声“骂”，可别轻易用啦。一个音，四种意思，是不是很神奇？掌握了声调，中文就有了抑扬顿挫的美感。
 
再讲讲中文里好玩的成语。“一马当先”，简单四个字，却能生动地描绘出一个人冲在最前面，勇往直前的样子。学会用成语，能让你的表达瞬间变得高大上，还能了解背后的历史故事和文化内涵。
 
如果你担心学中文很难，别害怕！只要从简单的开始，每天学一点，积少成多，很快就能开口说中文啦。就像搭积木，一块一块，慢慢就能搭出漂亮的城堡。而且，学习中文可不只是学语言，还能了解中国的美食、电影、节日，认识好多新朋友。
 
想不想试试？现在就跟着我一起念：“你好”，这是打招呼的方式。简单吧？快来加入中文学习的大家庭，开启这场充满惊喜的语言冒险！期待在italki和你一起探索中文的奇妙世界！

Negotiation and Change Management: Navigating the Corporate Seas

In the ever-evolving landscape of business, the ability to negotiate and manage change is akin to navigating treacherous seas. Successful captains of industry understand that these skills are not just necessary; they are the rudder that steers the corporate ship through both calm and stormy waters.

The Art of Negotiation

Negotiation is the subtle art of reaching an agreement that benefits all parties involved. It’s a dance of communication, where each step is carefully calculated to achieve a harmonious outcome. For managers, negotiation skills are indispensable. They are the tools that help forge strong stakeholder relationships, drive business objectives, and resolve conflicts that could otherwise fester into costly disputes.

Change Management: The Compass of Progress

Change management, on the other hand, is the compass that guides a company towards progress. It involves preparing, supporting, and helping individuals, teams, and organizations in making organizational change. Leaders who excel in change management not only anticipate the shifts in their industry but also create the strategies that will enable their teams to adapt swiftly and efficiently.

Combining Forces for Success

When negotiation and change management converge, they create a powerful synergy. Negotiation skills allow managers to involve key stakeholders in the change process, increasing buy-in and reducing resistance. Meanwhile, change management provides the framework for implementing the negotiated agreements, ensuring that the change is not just accepted but embraced.


As we sail into the future, the waters of business will only get more challenging. But with robust negotiation and change management skills, managers can not only weather the storms but also harness the winds of change to propel their organizations to new heights. It’s time to set sail and navigate the corporate seas with confidence and skill.
