Bruce Lee’s Empty Cup - And Why Your English is Costing You MONEY Bruce Lee asked: Is your cup empty, or full? The answer could be why you’re leaving money on the table every time you open your mouth in a business situation. I’m talking presentations that bore clients to death, pitches that land with a thud, job interviews where you sound like a buffoon…and even those damn IELTS tests my students sweat over. See, you’re probably making ONE of these critical mistakes (and maybe all of them): You’re STUCK in Your Ways: “Empty” means potential. “Full” means rigid, unable to adapt. Your English is probably stuck in a textbook from 1985. You’re Fixated on “Perfect”: Forget perfection. Aim for impact. Trying to be flawless is paralyzing you. Stop it. You Think You’re “Done” Learning: The moment you stop learning, you start dying (business-wise, anyway). Your English has to evolve to stay sharp. You’re Clueless About Yourself: You have ZERO awareness of how you actually sound to prospects, clients, or even the interviewer across the table. Ouch. But there’s a way out. In my latest podcast episode, I take Bruce Lee’s wisdom – yes, the martial arts guy – and brutally expose exactly how you can weaponize your English. Become instantly more persuasive. Sharpen your message until it cuts like a diamond. Deliver every sentence with unshakeable clarity. Click here to listen now. This isn’t about grammar lessons; this is about MONEY. Don’t let your English hold you hostage any longer. P.S. Are you SERIOUS about mastering high-impact business English? This podcast is just the beginning.

Home building starts for quake-affected residents in China's Xizang The reconstruction of eight villages severely affected by the 6.8-magnitude earthquake in Xizang Autonomous Region, southwest China, started on Monday, marking the start of a recovery effort aimed at relocating over 120,000 residents into new homes by the end of this year. The launch ceremony was held in Gurum Village of Dingri County in the city of Xigaze following over a month of preparations, including debris clearance, risk assessment and housing designs. Opinions were gathered from residents to help finalize housing designs. "The threshing ground is shared by several households and the livestock pens are right next to our homes, making both daily life and work very convenient," said Migmar Tsering, a local villager. Kang Zhuo, with the construction company for the reconstruction project in Gurum Village, said the company would prioritize ecological and environmental protection and provide employment opportunities for villagers, ensuring that affected residents can move into their new homes as soon as possible. Dawa Tsering, Party chief of the city, said most of the reconstruction will be on the original sites of the villages as per residents' preferences, except for those on the earthquake belt or in areas prone to landslides or floods, which will be relocated. On Jan. 7, Dingri and the neighboring counties experienced a 6.8-magnitude earthquake that killed 126 people and leveled thousands of houses. According to reconstruction plans, all of the more than 120,000 people currently living in temporary shelters will move into new homes by the end of 2025.
