¡Hola!

In this podcast, I will be talking about the differences between employment and business.
I have experience in both worlds and there are many differences that are rarely discussed online. I will be sharing five things I learned as a new entrepreneur. I hope that you guys learn something, especially if you want to transition to entrepreneurship.

SALTO LARGO

1.,,Aveam tot timpul la dispoziție. El, fiindcă era bătrân, eu fiindcă eram tânăr.”
2. ,, – Zâmbetul, domnu’ Ibrahim, e ceva pentru bogați. Eu nu-mi permit să zâmbesc. […]
– Domnul Ibrahim, când spun că zâmbetul e o chestiune pentru bogați vreau să spun că e o chestiune pentru oamenii fericiți.
– Ei, bine, aici te înșeli. Zâmbetul te face fericit.”
3.-Tekke nu-i un dans, ci o mănăstire,  Momo. […] 
— Se învârtesc în jurul lor înşişi, Momo,
vezi? În jurul propriilor lor inimi, care
sunt lăcaşul unde Dumnezeu își manifes-
tă prezenţa în om. Dansul lor este o rugăciune.
— Asta numeşti dumneata rugăciune ?
— Bineînţeles, Momo. Ei pierd astfel orice reper terestru, greutatea aceea pe care o numim echilibru, nu mai sunt altceva decât un mănunchi de făclii ce se consumă pe un rug uriaş. “

Maturizarea, amaraciunea, pierderea, moartea, iubirea, toleranta, diversitatea religioasa, familia sunt doar câteva subiecte pe care acest roman scurt le abordează. 
  Schmitt are un mod al lui de a mă face să văd viața diferit atunci când îi citesc cărțile.  Mă tulbură, dar într-un mod plăcut, captivant, hipnotizant. E atât de multă înțelepciune în cartea asta! Și acum, după ce am terminat-o, îi mulțumesc domnului Ibrahim pentru calmul și pentru iubirea pe care mi le-a strecurat și mie în inimă!

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【减肥】的话题。
说起减肥，我算是个资深的减肥专家了。我从初中开始就开启我的减肥之路，试过各种方法：节食、运动、甚至是吃减肥药。直到这几年，我才开始意识到，不应该盲目减肥。我看回以前的照片，其实一点儿也不胖。按照BMI的标准，我甚至是体重偏轻。我对身材的焦虑都是受外界的声音以及一些扭曲的审美影响。现在我对身体的唯一要求就是健康，再也不把“减肥”两个字挂在嘴边了。
我经常听到身边的朋友说要减肥，不能吃太多，有的甚至晚饭都不吃。那么不吃晚饭真的能瘦吗？我们来听听专家的看法吧。
很多人呢一提起减肥啊都有很多种方法。大家说很简单啊，不就是少吃多动弹嘛，我只要少吃就可以了。单纯不吃晚餐能不能解决问题？初听很简单，说少吃一顿晚餐，那么一定就是能量减少了1/3，时间久了我自然就能够瘦下来。短期内啊，不吃晚饭确实能够减少我们的能量的摄入，但是这样的方法不能够很长久。如果您长期不吃晚饭，就有可能造成代谢率的下降。这个时候身体马上适应性地降低你的基础代谢率，而不能够起到减肥的作用。所以减肥一定是要吃动两平衡，既要适当地少吃，还要坚持积极的身体活动，才能够在保持代谢率的情况下，能够维持减重减脂的效果。
你有减肥的经历吗？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
