#1 将来の夢 Future Dream

cí mǔ shǒu zhōng xiàn ， yóu zǐ shēn shàng yī 。
慈母手中线，游子身上衣。
lín xíng mì mì féng ， yì kǒng chí chí guī 。
临行密密缝，意恐迟迟归。
shéi yán cùn cǎo xīn ， bào dé sān chūn huī 。
谁言寸草心，报得三春晖。
【注释】
1．游子：在古时候泛指远游旅居的人。
2．意恐：担心。
3．寸草心：寸草，比喻子女；心，指小草的茎干，也暗指子女的心意。
4．三春晖：春天灿烂的阳光，此处比喻慈母的恩情。
【译文】
慈爱的母亲用手中的针线，为外出远行的儿子缝制衣裳。
在他临行之前，一针一线密密地缝制着，只因为担心儿子迟迟不能归来。
有谁敢说，子女像小草一样微弱的孝心，
可以报答慈母像春晖一样温暖的恩情呢？

Passengers flying on some routes could have to spend almost $80 more to help European airlines pay for sustainable fuels.

According to European Union (EU) rules, airlines will have to use more sustainable fuel starting in January. Two percent of the fuel they use will have to be sustainable in 2025, but that will increase to 6% in 2030 and 70% in 2050.

This is part of the EU's plan to reduce carbon emissions, with the airline industry said to produce 2% of the world's carbon emissions.

However, sustainable fuels are much more expensive than normal jet fuel, and German airline Lufthansa has announced that travelers will have to pay more for flights leaving on or after January 1, 2025.

Lufthansa said it spends billions every year on new technologies, and has been working to help make flying more sustainable. It added that it has also supported research into global weather and climate, but that it can't pay for sustainable fuels without help from customers.

Passengers will have to pay extra on any flight leaving from any EU country, as well as from Norway, Switzerland and the UK.

Any flights booked for 2025 from now on will include the extra cost, and customers flying on any Lufthansa-operated airline will have to pay. The Lufthansa group also operates Eurowings, Austrian Airlines, Swiss Air, Brussels Airlines and Lufthansa City Airlines.

People taking short-haul flights in economy class may only need to pay about $5 more, according to Reuters, while those flying long-haul in first class could pay almost $80.

Many other airlines have said they won't be increasing prices, but they want governments to do more to help them.

Micromanagement is a leadership style characterized by excessive oversight and control over subordinates' work processes. It involves closely monitoring and directing employees' actions, often to the detriment of their autonomy, initiative, and morale. Micromanagers tend to delegate tasks without providing sufficient authority or resources, and they frequently intervene in the details of work execution. This behavior can lead to decreased job satisfaction, reduced productivity, and hindered employee development. Effective leadership, in contrast, empowers employees by setting clear expectations, providing necessary support, and fostering a culture of trust and autonomy. By delegating appropriately and offering constructive feedback, leaders can create an environment where employees feel valued, motivated, and capable of achieving their full potential.

Micromanagement can manifest in various forms, including:

-Constantly checking on employees' progress, questioning every decision, and demanding frequent updates.

-Taking over tasks that should be delegated, providing unnecessary levels of detail, and interfering with employees' work processes.

-Exhibiting a distrustful attitude towards employees, assuming incompetence, and withholding necessary information.

-Failing to provide clear expectations, offering inconsistent feedback, and creating a climate of fear and uncertainty.

Employees may experience decreased job satisfaction, reduced motivation, and a decline in overall performance. Micromanagement can stifle creativity, innovation, and teamwork, hindering organizational growth and success. To counteract the negative effects of micromanagement, organizations should prioritize leadership development, empower employees, and establish clear performance expectations.

Effective leaders focus on creating a supportive and empowering environment where employees can thrive and contribute to the organization's goals.
