Today, I saw a heartbreaking video on TikTok of an old man who retired at 72 years old. He worked decades for a company and he was extremely loyal, even if he was earning minimum wage. In this podcast, I will discuss some valuable lesson we can learn from that video.

New Year’s episode of Philosophical Friday

Today we're talking about a phrasal verb that you can use to talk about those times that you don't know what to say. Those moments in meetings or presentations when someone asks you a question, or you get to a challenging part of what you're saying and you stop talking. You just can't find the right words. Maybe you'll find this a useful phrasal verb to describe what sometimes happens to many of us!

大家好，我是Yuli。这是我的第7期播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊“梦想”。
大家还记得自己小时候的梦想是什么吗？我小时候的梦想是开一家卖零食的小商店，这样我就可以有吃不完的零食了。我从来没有想过我要当一名老师，因为我觉得老师的工作很单调。那个时候，我的老师们重复地教着一样的课本，一样的内容。我觉得这不是我喜欢的工作，我很快就会厌倦的。
但是命运很神奇，长大后，我竟然成为了一名老师。我为什么会做我曾经很讨厌的工作呢？因为我发现，老师的工作也可以很不一样。
第一，我可以教学生各种各样的知识，不只是课本的内容。我们还会通过视频、图片来学习中文。我们也会聊各种各样的话题，分享自己的看法。
第二，做这个工作我可以发挥自己的创造力。我总是思考可以用什么资料和什么方法给学生上课。根据学生的表现，我会一直改善我的课堂。
最后一点，也是最重要的一点，做这份工作让我觉得很有成就感。因为我帮助学生把中文学得更好，他们在生活和工作中可以用到。每次看到学生因为会说中文而生活发生改变的时候，我都很替他们高兴。
那你呢？你的梦想是什么呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
