“为什么呀?”

“别的都行, 就是汽车不行。”

"您有十个亿您都愿意捐。为什么车就不行了?”

“因为我真有一辆汽车。”

3. The Fisherman 垂钓者的故事

There are many reasons why you should speak about money in the workplace such as salary negotiations, sales and purchasing, accounting, budgeting and resources... the list goes on.

However, whatever the reason there are always some drawbacks to discussing money:

You are talking about your money. The person you are engaging with will be focused on their money. You might need to check the basic assumptions to check that you and your opponent are talking about the same thing as often this is not the case. You need to express different perspectives and points of view on values, inputs and outputs, and ownership, etc., which can be difficult, and sometimes delicate, to do.

SHIFT THE FOCUS FROM PRICE TO VALUE

Talk in a way that places focus on the benefits you can offer your counterpart and not what claims you want to make for yourself personally. What savings can you give, what profits can you enhance? This is also particularly relevant when you are in an interview, as you can show what an economical advantage it would be for you to be hired rather than the next person, as businesses are always interested in those that can help boost business!

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。


前回は旅行について話しました。歴史的な場所を見るのが好きになった、という話をしました。
今回も旅行について話します。
今回は自然を見るのが好きになった、という話です。

北海道に引っ越して、再確認したことですが、僕は自然が好きな人間です。若い時から公園に行ったり、山に登ったりするのは好きでした。でも北海道に行って、ほぼ毎日、家の近くの川沿いを歩いたり、緑豊かな大きな公園を歩いています。あきずに、いつも歩いています。

それで、これから海外に行く時は、その国の公園や自然も見てみたいと思うようになりました。2月の旅行では、ドイツは歴史的な場所に行きますが、オランダは自然を感じる場所に行こうかな、という思いがわいてきました。

みなさんが好きな自然はどんな場所ですか？
ぜひオンラインレッスンで話しましょう！

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
