Hi! This is the final introduction podcast. Maybe, at this point, you are tired of listening to me talking about myself, but I guarantee you that you find this really interesting and challenging! In this podcast I talked freely like when I chat with my friends. I didn't use my dialect, but used well-known-not-standard-Japanese! For those who study mainly from textbooks or articles, it will be even surprising!

Introduction (Native level)

将帅是国君的辅佐，辅佐得周详严密，国家就必定强盛；辅佐有疏漏，国家就必然衰弱。
 
国君对军队的危害大体有三种：不了解军队不可以进攻而命令进攻，不了解军队不能撤退而强令军队撤退，这叫做束缚军队；不懂得军中事务却要干预军队的管理事务，将士们会无所适从；不懂得军队作战的权宜机变，却要干预军队的指挥，将士就会产生疑虑。如果军队既无所适从，又疑虑重重，其他诸侯国就会趁机兴兵作难。这就叫做自乱其军，自取其败。因此，以下五种情况可预见获胜：懂得什么情况下可以与敌作战，什么情况下不能与敌作战的，能够获胜；懂得根据兵力的多寡而灵活采取不同战略战术的，能够获胜；将帅与士兵同心同德、同仇敌忾的，能够获胜；以有备之师对付疏懈之敌的，能够获胜；将帅有组织指挥才能而国君又不妄加干预的，能够获胜。这五者是作战取胜的根本条件。
 
所以说：既了解敌方情况，又了解自己情况，才能常胜不败；不了解敌方情况，只了解自己情况，胜败的几率均等；既不了解敌方情况，又不了解自己情况，那每战必败。

From Fear to Fluent: How She Got the Job — and Stock Options?

A few days ago, I got this message from a student who had just one interview session with me:

“Hey Anatoly, how are you? Just want you to know I killed it. Got the job and even call options of this company.”

It made my day.
Not because of the job title — but because of how quickly she shifted from nervous and unsure to calm and confident in ONE meeting!

In this short episode, I’ll share what actually helped her make that change — the mindset shift, the voice adjustment, and the inner calm that turned her interview into a win.

If you’re curious how this process works, watch my intro video. Watch some of my student's successes
It’s a quick overview of how I help professionals speak with clarity and confidence during interviews.

15: Ich nehme das Schnitzel | I take the cutlet

Do you believe people are born with a certain amount of ability and intelligence? Or do you think these things can be changed through effort and education?

Your answers to these questions may decide how well you chase your own goals in life!

Researchers in Norway looked at over 1,500 people aged 13 to 77.

Participants filled out a survey asking them questions about how much they think people's abilities and intelligence can grow with effort and education.

They also filled out two more surveys: one asking how passionate they are about the things they are interested in, and one asking how persistent — and consistent — they are in chasing their goals.

For example, they were asked how much they agree with statements such as, "I use a lot of time on the projects I like," for passion, and "I finish whatever I begin," for persistence.

The researchers then looked at the people who got the 5% highest and lowest scores for belief in people's ability to grow.

It was found that those with the greatest belief in growth also had significantly higher scores in passion and persistence.

Interestingly, although 60% of all the study participants were women, in the group with the lowest belief in growth almost 60% were men.

"The belief in growth is important for large parts of our society," said Hermundur Sigmundsson, one of the study's authors. "This is true for school, sports, work and family life."

The authors also pointed to other studies that have found that it's possible to help people believe in personal growth — particularly as children — and that this can result in greater persistence.

Looking at their own results, the researchers said it can be argued that belief in your ability to grow may be important for both passion and persistence.

However, they also noted that it could also be that passion, perseverance and belief in growth all support each other.
