BUSINESS ETIQUETTE | GREETINGS AND INTRODUCTIONS.

It is a common courtesy to greet both customers and visitors to your business in a friendly and professional manner. It is also common sense that most companies expect their employees to act professionally and to pay great attention to how they greet visitors.

In any business situation, but especially in an international setting and when communicating in a foreign language, it is imperative that you also pay attention to the societal norms of different cultures and their customs.

For instance, in most western cultures, the handshake is a common greeting which is also used to conclude business dealings. In American culture, the handshake is a sign that a deal has been agreed upon by all parties, and politicians from all countries vie for the obligatory handshake photo opportunity with visiting dignitaries.

Learn more about the handshake and other greetings in episode 2 of BizPod.

BizPod Episode 2 - Professional Introductions

大家好，我是潘妮，欢迎来到古典智慧拾贝。在这里，我主要与大家分享中国古代的思想家的智慧。

今天的智慧来自《中庸》。这本书是一部儒家经典，主要讲学习的方式和做人的规范。几千年来，都是中国文化的经典。

喜怒哀乐之未发，谓之中，发而皆中节，谓之和。

也就是说，快乐、生气、伤心和喜悦这样的情感没有发生时，叫做“中”，在合适的情况下发生，叫做“和”。

“中”与“和”这两个字，在中国的语言文化中，既简单，又极其重要。

谢谢你的收听，我们下次见。

Hello everyone, my name is Penny, welcome to this channel. In this channel, I will share with you wisdoms of Chinese thinkers and philosophers from the past.

The wisdom of the day comes from “The Doctrine of the Mean”, which is a confucianist classic. It mainly talks about study methods and what does it mean of being a human. For thousands of years, it is revered as a classic of Chinese culture.

While there are no stirrings of pleasure, anger, sorrow or joy, the mind may be said to be in the state of Equilibrium.

When those feelings have been stirred, and they act in their due degree, there ensues what may be called the state of Harmony.

This two words (character 中 and 和 ) is so simple but so important in Chinese language and culture. 

Thanks for your listening, and I will see you next time.

Wisdom From the Past 古典智慧拾贝

古典智慧拾贝  - 《中庸》第一集

粤读时光，看见生活中嘅光。

前几日我喺得到听到一篇好好嘅文章，
所以同你分享一下。

呢篇文章系关于创业嘅，
不过我觉得无论你对创业有冇兴趣，
呢篇文章都好有启发性，
下面我会用广东话复述呢篇文章。 

如果你想创业，
咁就要了解一个不成文嘅创业标准，
就系1000个粉丝。
意思系一个新产品只有积累咗1000个用户，
先算系站稳咗脚跟。 

点解系1000个粉丝呢？
呢个理论其实系嚟自凯文凯利嘅《技术元素》。
凯文凯利系一个好犀利嘅人，
佢喺另一本书《失控》入面预言过网络时代嘅到嚟，
乔布斯亦都曾经喺斯坦福大学嘅演讲入面提及过佢，
乔布斯话佢嘅佢嘅杂志《连线》系佢嗰个时代嘅圣经。

讲翻转头哈，
点解系1000个粉丝呢？
呢个理论系凯文凯利提出嚟嘅，
理论系，
如果你有1000个优质粉丝，
假设每个粉丝每年喺你身上消费100美金，
咁你每年就有10万美金嘅收益，
一般就足够活落去。

呢个1000个粉丝嘅标准，
我喺Youtube都睇到咗，
YouTube会将自己嘅广告收益分俾上传视频嘅人，
但系要求频道要有至少1000个粉丝。
所以1000个粉丝就系获得收益嘅标准。

到底用乜嘢方法先可以拉到 1000个用户呢？
呢篇文章总结咗三个方法，
第一个方法系：
揾啱地方捞鱼。
意思系你要揾到目标用户聚集嘅地方。
创业公司首先要搞清楚边度先系目标用户聚集嘅地方，
跟住去拉用户。

国外有一个交友软件叫Tinder，
同国内嘅陌陌差唔多。
佢啱啱创立嗰时，
选择咗去大学校园揾用户，
点解要去大学？
因为大学单身嘅人多，
而且佢哋都系拍拖嘅年纪。
Tinder喺大学校园非常受欢迎，
好快就获得咗一大批嘅用户。

打车软件Lyft都系揾啱咗地方，
所以获得咗一大批用户。
佢哋去边度稳用户？
创业公司所在地。
Lyft揾咗创业公司嘅地址，
跟住叫员工免费送雪糕俾佢哋，
再顺便发咗Lyft嘅打车优惠码俾佢哋。
后来呢啲食咗雪糕嘅员工就称为咗Lyft嘅第一批用户。

除咗线下，
都有啲创业公司喺线上揾到咗第一批用户，
好似Netflix，
Netflix请咗一个学生，
扮成电影发烧友，
潜入咗电影论坛，
佢先通站长、版主、活跃用户搞好关系，
跟住在随住时间推移，
揾机会唔经意咁提起有一个叫Netflix嘅新网站，
跟住就帮Netflix拉咗一大班高质量嘅用户。

下面再讲吓第二个快速积累用户嘅方法，
加心理杠杆。
乜嘢叫心理杠杆？
就系利用心理因素，
对用户施加影响。
最常用嘅心理杠杆系“朋友推荐”。
好似Pinterest同Quara啱啱成立嗰时，
都用咗呢个方法。


第三个方法就系借用影响力。
意思系揾大V或者名人帮你宣传。

我觉得呢个方法好有效，
亦都系常见嘅方法。
宜家如果你睇公众号，
你都可以睇到公众号之间嘅互相推荐，
其实呢个方法几好，
可以互相积累粉丝。

我呢个公众号仲好细，
如果有大V觉得唔错，
想帮我宣传一下，
我肯定会好感激你。

除咗揾大V同名人之外，
仲有一种方法，
就系跟紧新闻事件。
写同新闻热点相关嘅文章，
因为同热点相关嘅文章比较容易俾人睇到，
所以如果你有订阅公众号，
你就会发现有好多人都会跟热点写文章，
呢个系快速积累用户嘅好方法。

以上就系快速积累前1000个用户嘅方法啦。

#149 - Mga Slang sa Tagalog

I've taught from students in universities to CEOs of top companies in China. From teachers to engineers and from PhD students in Tsinghua and Pekin universities. 

Through analyzing over 14 thousand students I came to realize that it isn't the knowledge you need to acquire or the skills as a language learner but a state of mind with which you'll be using this knowledge.

In the audio recording I go over your key factors for success and you already know it too - listen to the end to get the magic formula and enjoy the process... 

Feeeeeel into it deeper and still find your path as the result
