摄影师张先生

Mum: Hi remember me?

Dad: Oh yeah, aren’t you wait, aren’t you the mother of my children?

Mum: Yes, how are you doing? Haven’t seen you in a while! 

Dad: Now I’ve put them to bed, I’m great! 

Mum: Today was exhausting!

Dad: Tell me about it. What time were you up?

Mum: About 4:30. I need that early morning time to get myself together and actually do some work before it all goes to hell.

Dad: Every night, I tell myself I’m going to do that, and every morning when the alarm goes off, I tell myself I need just a few more minutes of sleep.

Mum: You’re a night owl, I’m an early bird, it’s just how we are.

Dad: But I want to be an early bird and watch TV at night instead of doing the work I need to do. By the way, thanks for helping me out today. I owe you. Tomorrow, they’re mine.

Mum: It’s fine. Apart from when Justin dropped his yogurt, I think it went pretty well.

Dad: Oh, I don’t think anyone even noticed the screaming child while I was presenting – and if they did, they probably didn’t want to say anything in case they have their own children screaming on call in the future.

Mum: I don’t think I’m convinced about this hybrid working situation. Don’t get me wrong, I love not having to commute every day. With my job, that’s easily two hours of the day I get back. But organizing myself and kids and work?

Dad: Yeah, it’s a challenge. Some days I feel on top of it all, but there are days when I feel like I’m a terrible employee, a terrible father and a terrible husband.

Mum: (with joking intonation) Oh honey, don’t think like that. Trust me, you’re a terrible husband EVERY day, not just some days.

Dad: Just for that, I’m not going to tell you where Becky hid the chocolate Nutella.

Mum: I’ll just go and buy more.

Dad: or the car keys

Mum: Fine. You’re a wonderful husband on most days.

Dad: I’ll be wonderful tomorrow while you’re in your meeting. What are you doing again?

Mum: I’m just leading the meeting, but the CEO is going to be there.

Mixing Responsibilities

La expresión de mal en peor se parece mucho a una expresión del inglés que quizás conoces. Te lo cuento aquí.

De mal en peor

I recently started learning 5 languages, and it's been surprisingly insightful for my work. It's not just about the language itself; it's about the process. Diving into a new linguistic system forces you to recognize both the differences and the underlying similarities between languages – and, by extension, cultures. This cross-language learning has sharpened my ability to identify patterns and nuances in communication, which is invaluable when negotiating international deals or managing diverse teams.

More importantly, it's reminded me of the 'learning to learn' skill. We often forget how to learn effectively once we're out of formal education. I have bite-sized lessons and it has reignited my ability to absorb new information quickly and efficiently. It's a reminder that embracing continuous learning, even in seemingly unrelated areas, can significantly enhance your cognitive flexibility and problem-solving skills. So, even if you don't have time for a full immersion, spending just 15 minutes a day on a language app might just give you a fresh perspective and sharpen your business acumen.

To summarize the benefits: 

Language learning improves cognitive agility.

This agility is crucial for business.

Studying languages sharpens pattern recognition.

This improves strategic analysis.

Language exposure aids global leadership.

It fosters understanding of cultural nuances.

Language learning cultivates sensitivity.

This lessens misinterpretation risks.

Deciphering language enhances thinking.

It also boosts problem-solving abilities.
