Greeting in Pahto 

听众朋友你们好，欢迎来到茶时话中文，我是Penny。这是一个纯中文话题节目，我来和你用中文聊聊生活中有意思的话题，同时学习一些汉语词汇。让我们一边喝茶一边聊起来吧。

今天我们来聊聊社交媒体。这两年，不论是脸书facebook，推特Twitter 还是Instagram，或者是中国热门软件微信、微博，我们好像在上面花的时间越来越长了。社交软件的确是新颖又好玩，拓展了人际关系，能带给你大量的信息和层出不穷的体验，可是，它们也是有很多的弊端。

首先，它们减少了人们对于现实生活中交际的渴望。中国有一个新词叫“社恐”，也就是社交恐惧症，这个网络热词很好地描述了人们过度地依赖微信等软件，导致有些人逐渐失去了现实中人际交往的能力。有趣的是，很多公司也依赖这种聊天软件进行内部和外部的沟通，导致很多雇员宁愿发个消息，也不愿意站起来和现实中近在咫尺的同事沟通。这非常严重地让许多人减少了现实中的社交。

其次，社交软件的设计就是要抓取用户的注意力，当你的注意力成为了社交软件的消费品，你会发现，你很容易对它们上瘾。任何人都很难抗拒手机上跳出的通知和消息，因为它们通常来自于你的朋友。有一个方法是关闭通知提示，但是这也很难做到，因为你有可能漏掉重要的那一条消息。这种不想要又不能拒绝的感觉非常令人不适。甚至会有人排斥现实中的关系，每天沉浸在网络的社交中，因为真实的人际关系往往很难处理，更需要智慧和思考。

今天浅谈了一下社交媒体，或者社交软件的弊端。感谢收听。
希望你喜欢今天的播客，我们下次见。

みんなの日本語　Lesson 7

Global professionals often face unique challenges, including increased workload, rapid change, and cultural differences. To thrive in this complex environment, upskilling is paramount.

Understanding Workplace Overwhelm
Overwhelm is often linked to factors like unclear expectations, excessive workload, and lack of support. Global professionals may experience additional stress due to time zone differences, cultural nuances, and virtual collaboration challenges. Recognizing the signs of overwhelm - burnout, decreased productivity, and declining job satisfaction - is crucial.

The Role of Upskilling
Upskilling is essential for managing overwhelm and advancing careers. By acquiring new skills, professionals can increase efficiency, take on more complex tasks, and adapt to changing demands. Focus on skills that align with organizational goals and future industry trends.

Prioritizing Upskilling
Identify skill gaps through self-assessment and feedback. Prioritize learning areas that directly address workload challenges. Consider microlearning for quick skill acquisition.

Creating a Supportive Environment
Effective time management, delegation, and setting boundaries are crucial. Open communication with managers about workload is essential. Seek support from colleagues or mentors.

Balancing Work and Life
Global professionals often face unique work-life challenges. Prioritize well-being through physical activity, mindfulness, and sufficient rest. Set clear boundaries between work and personal life.

Leveraging Technology
Utilize productivity tools to streamline tasks. Explore automation options to reduce manual work. Leverage collaboration platforms for efficient teamwork.

By understanding the root causes of overwhelm and prioritizing upskilling, global professionals can enhance their resilience, career progression, and overall job satisfaction.
