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。

今天这句话来自老子的《清静经》，是老子道家的智慧。

上士不争，下士好争。意思是有上等智慧的人，是没有争夺的心的，只有最下等最没有智慧的人，才一天到晚与人争夺。

我第一次看到这句话的时候，非常震撼。因为我们现代人，大部分都已经习惯了在各种场合与人争一个高低。不管是争夺有限的物质，还是在意见和他人不一样的时候争强好胜，都是古代圣贤最不会做的事情。老子不愧是圣人，只有不与人争，才能保持清静的心，保持一种自在和自由。这其实是传统中国文化的核心部分。

对此，你是怎么想的呢？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.

Today's phrase comes from Lao Tzu, from the wisdom of Taoism. 

The highly respected men don’t argue and contest, the lowly respected men like to argue and contest. It means that people with superior wisdom do not compete or fight, and only least intelligent people compete with others all the time.

The first time I saw this sentence, it was a shock. Because most of us modern people have been used to competing with people on various occasions. Whether it is competing for limited material resources, or competing to win when opinions differ, these are the last things that ancient sages do. Only by not fighting with others can we maintain a quiet mind and keep our hearts truly free and at ease. This is actually a core part of traditional Chinese wisdom.

What do you think about this? Thanks for your listening and see you next time.

一天，爸爸带儿子去玩。回来的路上，儿子对爸爸说：”爸爸，我累了，我们坐车吧。”

”那要看你表现。”爸爸说。

儿子说：”好的，如果我表现好，我们就坐公共汽车回去；如果我表现不好，我们就坐出租车回去。”

Ya desde lejos Albacete, viniendo desde Alcalá de Júcar por la CM-332 (también hay autovía pero es menos interesante), se presiente como un lugar dónde van a ocurrir cosas. Sí. 
Hemos disfrutado de la provincia siguiendo un anillo que nos ha llevado por ella, a conocer pequeñas poblaciones pero que son una gran muestra de la España auténtica y yo creo firmemente que es porque los españoles que viven en esta zona son muy auténticos, en el sentido de poco influenciados por modas y tradiciones internacionales.

Job insecurity is the feeling of uncertainty or anxiety about the continued existence of your employment. It's the opposite of job security, where there's confidence your position is stable. Job insecurity can be triggered by actual threats like company restructuring, economic downturns, or technological advancements, or it can be a perceived threat based on factors like short-term contracts, limited job control, or a lack of clear career advancement opportunities.

While the fear of job loss might be the main concern, job insecurity goes beyond that. It encompasses feelings of powerlessness, a lack of control over your future, and potential negative consequences like stress, anxiety, and decreased motivation. This can impact not just employee well-being but also company performance through lower productivity, increased absenteeism, and higher turnover.

Job insecurity is a complex issue with various causes and effects. Understanding it allows businesses to create a work environment that fosters security and reduces employee anxiety. This can involve providing clear communication about company goals and employee roles, offering opportunities for professional development, and promoting work-life balance initiatives. By addressing job insecurity, businesses can create a more stable and productive workforce. 

A business coach, like myself, can be a valuable asset in combating job insecurity within a company. They can work with managers to develop transparent communication strategies, ensuring employees understand their roles and the company's direction. Additionally, the coach can guide managers in crafting career development plans for employees, fostering a sense of growth and opportunity. By creating a culture that values continuous learning and clear communication, business coaches empower employees and mitigate the anxieties associated with job insecurity.
