「あしたには空中帝国に もどらなきゃいけない。ぼくは勝手な行動をとったから、      　
   もう二度とこの『森』には もどってこられないだろう」

「あなたと すごした時間は とても楽しかったわ。
    私は、きょうのことを ずっとずっと この森に つたえていこうと思う」

「ありがとうヨナヨナ。だけどキミが『森』に つたえていく物語は、
   まだ終わりまでいってないよ。ぼくらの魔法で世界をつなげるんだ。
   それが物語の終わり、ハッピーエンドだ」

「魔法か・・・・・カンパネラ、あなたは やっぱり阿呆ね」

「魔法がかかっているあいだの、ほんの一瞬だけかもしれないけれど、
   ぼくたちはつながることができる。ぼくがつなげてみせる。
  キミはそれをつたえておくれ」

「とっても時間がかかりそうね」

「そりゃそうだよ。奇跡をおこすんだから」

朗読クラブ📚Reading to Japanese language learners 

朗読：『オルゴールワールド』#14 にしのあきひろ著

सच्चा मित्र  वही है जो मित्र के दुख में काम आता आता है। वह मित्र के बहुत छोटे से छोटे कष्ट को भी मेरु पर्वत के सामान भारी मानकर उसकी सहायता करता है। मित्र सुख-दुख का साथी है। वह केवल दुख में ही नहीं सुख में भी खुशियां बांटता है।
सच्चे दोस्त हमेशा एक-दूसरे का ख्याल रखते हैं। सच्ची दोस्ती में स्वार्थ की कोई जगह नहीं होती।

A coach can be a valuable asset in overcoming the challenges posed by micromanagement. By providing a confidential and supportive environment, a coach can help individuals develop strategies to navigate these situations effectively.

A coach can help individuals pinpoint the underlying reasons for micromanagement. This could be a manager's insecurity, lack of trust, or simply a poor management style. Understanding the root cause is crucial for developing an effective strategy.

Micromanagement often thrives on employees' lack of confidence. A coach can help individuals build self-esteem, develop assertiveness skills, and learn how to communicate their needs and boundaries clearly.

A coach can guide individuals in developing open and honest communication with their manager. By teaching active listening and clear expression, a coach can help individuals create a more productive and respectful working relationship.

A coach can help individuals establish healthy boundaries with their manager. This involves identifying areas where autonomy is essential and learning how to assert those boundaries without creating conflict.

Micromanagement can often lead to feeling overwhelmed. A coach can help individuals develop effective time management and prioritization skills, enabling them to manage their workload more efficiently and reduce the need for constant supervision.

A coach can provide emotional support and encouragement throughout the process of overcoming micromanagement. By offering a listening ear and providing guidance, a coach can help individuals build resilience and maintain a positive outlook.

Remember, overcoming micromanagement is a journey, not a destination. A coach can be a valuable partner in this process, providing the tools and support needed to thrive in challenging work environments.
