"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so."

A 30-day positive affirmation journey with Rose

Day 26

Nivel: A2. B1.

Tema: Es común confundir To Realize con el verbo REALIZAR porque el sonido es muy similar. Pero NO significan la misma cosa. Realizar es algo más del tipo To Do / To Make, pero en contexto.
Entonces.. ¿qué pasa con To Realize/Realise?. 

Ese es el tema hoy... en español decimos DARSE CUENTA.

DARSE CUENTA es verbo que conjugamos con los pronombres reflexivos. Pero hay algo más..., veamos estos ejemplos:
Me doy cuenta del sol brillante de hoy.
¿Te das cuenta del precio de esos zapatos?.
Ustedes se dan cuenta de ese olor... ¡hhmm!
Ellos se dan cuenta de que estudiar gramática es muy chévere.
Nosotros nos damos cuenta de que hay que escuchar el podcast para entender el punto.

El significado de DARSE CUENTA tienes más detallitos más allá de To Realize/Realise..., ¿listas.., listos?.., yo también. 

Gracias por compartir este audio y apoyar este proyecto. Los espero en clase : )
¡A escuchar¡

14.  To Realize NO es REALIZAR. ¿Te DISTE CUENTA?

Part 1 of 5. 

Inside a dusty workroom, an old craftsman held up a chess piece to the window. He rotated it in the sunlight and inspected its every detail. 

“Perfection,” said the craftsman. 

He added it to the set he had been building. Sixteen grey pieces sat on his worktable, all handmade and almost ready for sale. 

The craftsman felt very satisfied with his designs. He was ready for the final stage of the process. He picked up one of the pawn pieces and said, “What about you, my little friend? What colour would you like to be?” 

He reached for his paint brush, dunked it into glass of water and then into a container of paint. The grey pawn received a heavy coating of shiny white paint.

Fast-forward several years into the future. After repeated use and abuse, that little pawn’s proud white colour had faded. Areas of his original grey were visible. Because of this, whenever players assembled their chess set, they left this little grey-white pawn to the side. 

“Uhm, is that yours or mine?” said the white player. 

“It doesn’t matter. Put it back in the box and choose from the others,” said the black player. 

This little plastic pawn’s name was Gary.

什么大 （许浪）
天大，地大
比不上我的手大。
我用手掌捂眼睛，
哈哈——天和地不见啦！

什么大

الطَبِيعَة مَلْيَانِة بالمَنَاظِر والأَصْوَات الرَهِيبِة.
المَطَر اللي بِيغَيِّر الجو بَعد نُزُولُه, أو مَنْظَر التَلج الأبْيَض اللي بِيغَطِي الدِنْيَا.
الهَوَا النْضِيف اللي مْنِتْنَفَسُه كِل صُبْح مَع رِيحِة الشَجَر الأخْضَر.
أو البَحر اللي ما بِينَام أَبَدًا و بيعْطِي شُعُور بِالحَيَاة والأَمَل لَكِل النَاس.
بَس للأسَف, الإنسان بِيسَاعِد على زِيَادِة التَلَوُّث اللي هُو أَكْبَر عَدُو للطَبِيعَة.
بِسَبب زِيَادِة المَبَانِي بِالعَالَم بِآخِر كَم سِنِة, بَدَأ النَاس يِسْتَغْنُوا عن الطَبِيعَة والحَدَايِق والغَابَات مشَان يزِيدُوا المَبَانِي.

Persuasion shouldn't be avoided. It's a good thing. Businesses need to be persuasive.  Whether it's securing a new client, rallying a team, or negotiating a deal, the ability to influence and inspire action is paramount. 

The good news? Persuasion isn't about manipulation. It's about understanding your audience and crafting messages that resonate with their needs and goals. Here's how to hone your persuasive communication skills:

Tailor your message to resonate with the specific interests and motivations of your audience. Research their background, challenges, and communication style. 

People care about how something improves their situation.  Instead of listing features, explain how your product or service solves a specific problem or fulfills a desired outcome. 

Back up your claims with credible statistics, case studies, and testimonials. Data adds weight to your arguments and builds trust. 

Weave compelling narratives that illustrate your points and connect with your audience on an emotional level. Stories are memorable and foster empathy. 

Persuasion is a two-way street. Pay close attention to your audience's concerns and questions. Address them directly and demonstrate your willingness to understand their perspective.

Avoid jargon and technical terms. Use strong verbs, active voice, and concise language to ensure your message is easily understood. 

Speak with conviction and enthusiasm. Projecting confidence makes your arguments more believable and inspires trust. 

Your body language and tone of voice play a significant role in persuasion. Make eye contact, maintain good posture, and speak with a clear, steady voice. 

Clearly articulate the action you desire from your audience. Do you want them to sign a contract, invest in a project, or simply consider your point of view?
