El concepto de tiempo es tan insensible como flexible y tan justiciero como inofensivo. Es una realidad que no podemos negar y a su vez, es algo tan etéreo como inexpugnable.
¿Cómo puede ser todo tan contradictorio sobre él, verdad? No estoy seguro de poder contestar a esto, pero sí que lo estoy de que se pueden sentir estas contradicciones especialmente en un entorno natural.

Halo semua! 
Di podcast ini, saya akan membahas tentang "besok" dan "kemarin" ala orang Indonesia.  "Besok" dan "kemarin" adalah dua kata sederhana, tapi sering membuat orang asing bingung. 

Misalnya, kalau ada seseorang bilang, "kemarin aku makan bakso enak banget",  mungkin itu artinya dia makan bakso seminggu lalu. Atau, kamu mungkin pernah dengar, teman orang Indonesia kamu bilang "besok-besok saya mau pergi lagi ke tempat itu", ini tidak berarti besok dia akan pergi, tapi hanya rencana, mungkin beberapa hari ke depan. Atau contoh lain, "besok kalau saya punya uang, saya mau beli barang itu". Ini juga artinya bukan besok, tapi rencana lebih jauh di masa depan. 

Penggunaan yang fleksibel dari "besok" dan "kemarin" ini, menurut saya, mencerminkan sifat orang Indonesia yang fleksibel dengan cara hidup. Fleksibel dengan perubahan rencana, juga perencanaan untuk masa depan. Latar belakang macam-macam budaya di Indonesia juga pengalaman hidup, memberi pengaruh ke cara orang menggunakan "besok" dan "kemarin" dalam percakapan sehari-hari. 

Kalian punya pengalaman unik gara-gara salah paham dengan arti "besok" dan "kemarin"? 

Terima kasih sudah mendengarkan podcast ini. Sampai jumpa lagi! ^^

Mrs Frisby looked again at the sun and saw that she faced an unpleasant choice. She could go home by the same roundabout way she had come, in which case she would surely end up walking alone in the woods in the dark — a frightening prospect, for at night the forest was alive with danger. Then the owl came out to hunt, and foxes, weasels and strange wild cats stalked among the tree trunks. The other choice would be dangerous, too, but with luck it would get her home before dark. That would be to take a straighter route, across the farmyard between the barn and the chicken house, going not too close to the house but cutting the distance by half. The cat would be there somewhere, but by daylight — and by staying in the open, away from the shrubs — she could probably spot him before he saw her.
The cat: He was called Dragon. Farmer Fitzgibbon’s wife had given him the name as a joke when
he was a small kitten pretending to be fierce. But when he grew up, the name turned out to be an apt one. He was enormous, with a huge, broad head and a large mouth full of curving fangs, needle sharp. He had seven claws on each foot and a thick, furry tail, which lashed angrily from side to side. In colour he was orange and white, with glaring yellow eyes; and when he leaped to kill, he gave a high, strangled scream that froze his victims where they stood.

Staying healthy can be difficult — it might mean we don't always get to eat and drink the things we want.

Sometimes we have to sacrifice some sweet things because we know they're not such a good idea!

But how far would you go to make sure you have a healthy diet?

A new survey has found that almost a quarter of people in the UK don't enjoy their meals because they put health before taste.

That means they're choosing to eat meals they don't like just because they're healthy.

However, the survey, by a bread company called Warburtons, also found that 74% of people aged between 25 and 44 aren't quite sure how to eat a balanced diet.

So it's perhaps not a surprise that people are eating meals they don't enjoy!

It's true that foods full of sugar, salt and butter can taste good, but experts say that healthy meals can taste great too.

And we can still enjoy some tasty things as part of a healthy diet.

In fact, some experts say that we shouldn't think of foods as "good" or "bad" — we should be able to enjoy everything in moderation.

This is something that older adults are better at, according to the survey, which included 2,000 people in the UK.

Adults over the age of 65 were most likely to put their enjoyment first when making food. Younger people admitted to eating meals in front of others to look like they're healthy — even if they don't like the food.

孙子说：战争，是国家的头等大事，关系民众生死，决定国家存亡，不能不认真研究。 应该从五个方面分析，通过比较双方的五个方面来探讨战争的胜负：一是“道”，二是“天”，三是“地”，四是“将”，五是“法”。 “道”，就是从政治上使民众与君主的思想一致，“地”，就是指行程的远近、地势的险峻。“将”，就是看将领们是否具备智、信、仁、勇、严五种素质。所谓“法”，就是指部队的组织编制制度，军官的职责范围规定，军需物资的供应管理制度等。
