米の価格これからどうなる？

Un cervo, dopo aver bevuto, rimane ad osservare la sua immagine riflessa nell'acqua: ammira le sue corna, grandi e lunghe, ma disprezza le sue gambe, a suo dire, troppo fragili e sottili. Ma il pericolo è in agguato e saranno proprio le sue corna a condurlo alla morte.

SMART Goals for Active Listening:

Specific: Don't just aim to "listen better."  Define the context.  For example, "During contract negotiations with [client name], I will actively listen to identify their key concerns."

Measurable:  How will you track your progress?  "I will summarize key concerns after each discussion point and ask clarifying questions to ensure 80% accuracy in reflecting their needs."

Attainable: Be realistic.  Start by focusing on one aspect of active listening. Gradually incorporate more techniques as you progress.

Relevant: Ensure your goals align with the negotiation's objectives. "By actively listening, I aim to build trust, uncover potential areas of compromise, and reach a win-win agreement."

Time-bound:  Set a timeframe for achieving your goal.  "I will implement these active listening strategies throughout the negotiation process, which is expected to last for [duration]."

Active Listening Techniques for SMART Goals:

Nonverbal Cues: "I will maintain eye contact, avoid crossed arms, and nod to show understanding." (Measurable through self-awareness)
Clarifying Questions: "I will ask open-ended questions like 'Can you elaborate on that?' to ensure comprehension." (Measurable by tracking the number of questions asked)
Summarizing: "After each discussion point, I will summarize key concerns to confirm understanding and identify potential areas of agreement." (Measurable by accuracy of summaries)

Benefits of SMART Active Listening Goals:

Reduced Misunderstandings: Clear communication allows you to address the other party's true concerns, leading to smoother negotiations.
Building Trust: Active listening shows respect and genuine interest in finding common ground.
Identifying Opportunities: By truly understanding the other party's needs, you can uncover potential compromises or alternative solutions.
Increased Confidence: A clear understanding of the situation empowers you to negotiate effectively.

Episode 13 (R.I.P phone) Filming in Israel
Welcome back to Streetwise English Podcast. I'm your host, Carl. Since we're on the topic of cell phones, I want to tell you another story about my favorite cell phone in the world, which is a Sony cell phone from Japan. Was a Sony cell phone from Japan. And I was taking a video of a tourist group in Tel Aviv, Israel.


So I'm an American guy, and I was with a group of Chinese tourists and I was hired to film these tourists on their trip in Israel.


It was our first day at the beach. I think it might have been our very first day in Israel. I think we arrived early in the morning at the airport. So I filmed people picking up their luggage and then we were cruising around at the beach, maybe we visited a store. I think there was a guy who played a trumpet that was kind of like made out of a bullhorn or something, a traditional horn, an old man with a beard and a, um, a hat, like the traditional Jewish people wear there in Tel Aviv.


And anyways, we were down at the beach, and this was the first time I'd seen the beach in Tel Aviv. And let me tell you, it looked like Santa Monica, California. There were people roller skating. There were people , girls in bikinis. There were surfers out in the water. People surfing in Tel Aviv. I had no idea. This is not the picture I had in my mind when thinking of Israel or Tel Aviv.


So my cell phone that I mentioned earlier that I just loved was a Sony cell phone and it was waterproof. The phone was waterproof. You could dump it in the water in a swimming pool and it would continue shooting. And I had actually filmed with it before in Spain underwater in the ocean and filmed fish swimming and everything and no problem.
So this trip though, I was in Tel Aviv  (text count limit)
