I read a phrase from the book of T. Harv Ecker ,"Be bigger than your problems."
This phrase inspired today's podcast and I hope that it helps anyone who listened to this and is going through a tough time right now.

HOW TO SOLVE PROBLEMS?

可是他又提了一些问题：
Nevertheless, he still had some more questions.
你怎么能占有星星呢？
How is it possible for one to own the stars?
“那么你说星星是谁的呀？”实业家不高兴地顶了小王子一句。
"To whom do they belong?" the businessman retorted, peevishly.
我不知道，不属于任何人。
I don't know. To nobody.
那么，它们就是我的，因为是我第一个想到了这件事情的。
Then they belong to me, because I was the first person to think of it.
这就行了吗？
Is that all that is necessary?
那当然。如果你发现了一颗没有主人的钻石，那么这颗钻石就是属于你的。
Certainly. When you find a diamond that belongs to nobody, it is yours.
当你发现一个岛是没有主的，那么这个岛就是你的。

When you discover an island that belongs to nobody, it is yours.
当你首先想出了一个办法，你就去领一个专利证，这个办法就是属于你的。
When you get an idea before any one else, you take out a patent on it: it is yours.
既然在我之前不曾有任何人想到要占有这些星星，那我就占有这些星星。
So with me:I own the stars, because nobody else before me ever thought of owning them."
“这倒也是。可是你用它们来干什么？”小王子说。
"Yes, that is true," said the little prince. "And what do you do with them?"
我经营管理这些星星。
"I administer them," replied the businessman.
我一遍又一遍地计算它们的数目。这是一件困难的事。
I count them and recount them. It is diffcult.
但我是一个严肃认真的人！
But I am a man who is naturally interested in matters of consequence.

小王子第31章：获取专利证

一个会讲一点中文的老外在水果摊上问老板：“苹果怎么卖？”
老板说：“每斤(美金)5块”。
老外掏出10美金说：“我要两个苹果”然后嘀咕道：“中国的东西一点儿也不便宜，比我国家的还贵。
 
A foreigner who could speak a little Chinese asked the boss at a fruit stall, "how do you sell apples?"
The boss said, "5 yuan per catty ."
The foreigner took out $10 and said, "I want two apples." then he muttered, "Chinese things are not cheap at all. They are more expensive than my country's.

Technology plays a crucial role in today's modern workplace, and dealing with outdated or malfunctioning equipment can be a significant challenge for HR professionals. Addressing these issues promptly is essential to maintain productivity, employee satisfaction, and overall organizational efficiency.

When faced with technology issues, it's important to first identify the root cause. This may involve troubleshooting hardware, software, or network problems. Once the issue is identified, take appropriate steps to resolve it. This might include updating software, replacing faulty hardware, or seeking assistance from IT professionals.

To prevent future technology issues, it's crucial to implement regular maintenance and updates. This includes scheduling routine maintenance checks, ensuring software is kept up-to-date, and providing employees with training on proper equipment usage. Additionally, consider investing in redundant systems and backup solutions to minimize downtime in case of failures.

Addressing technology issues effectively requires a collaborative approach between HR and IT departments. HR professionals can play a key role in communicating with employees about technology-related disruptions and providing support. They can also work with IT to ensure that employees have the necessary training and resources to use technology effectively.

By proactively addressing technology issues and implementing preventive measures, HR professionals can contribute to a more efficient and productive workplace.
