Question:

How do you influence others?

I think if you want to influence others - maybe you are leader of a company - a good way is to become a good role model. Do your best and become a model to your colleagues.

Good phrase: role model

I think we can influence others through my behaviours and through the speeches. If we do work well done, our colleagues may imitate us, regard us as a good example.

Good vocabulary: imitate & a good example

We can influence others through behaviour and speech.

If we work well....

If the work is done well ....

phrasing

Leach:

I really agree with Lovy.

She said you can influence others by speech.

Maybe, we can influence others not only by speech, but by body language.

Good phrase: body language

I think the most important thing is we need to believe what we say to others. Every word have a different kind of energy.

Good vocabulary: kind of energy

This will expression will contain many strong powers.

To be honest is very important for all the communication.

I think the personality is also important when you influence others.

Good vocabulary: personality

I think the most important is to be self-confidence.

If you are not confident enough, you can't make some decisions by yourself.(YES)

confident: adjective

confidence: noun

In my opinion, I think as a leader he can influence others through his behaviour and speaking.

He must be mature and responsible person. Maybe, he can deliver some sessions and told his team member something make them work more efficient.

He should become a professional model.

Intro task:

Question:

What could you say to help your colleague understand their goals?

If I am trying to help a colleague, first, I will tell him he first need to make his career goals for in five years or ten years.

Short-term and long-term goals. 

short-term/long-term: when you plan to achieve them

Second, I will tell him how to achieve this.

He can take a course to understand about business procedure.

Good example: take a course

I think there are many elements about setting your career path.

Analyze the situation and I would like to say what are you interested in.

Set goals bearing in mind a big picture. 

to bear in mind: to consider

I plan to talk to my colleague, "If I were you, first, I would want to make sure what is the most important things to me"

Present unreal condition

Then, I want to make sure my advantage and my disadvantage.

Just follow your heart because you are very young.

Good expression: follow your heart

Just to make a career decision depends on the needs. If you want to work just to earn more money, if it is very difficult if you work for dream.

Work for money is just short-term goals. If you want to work for dream, it is long-term goals.

Every layer needs to grow. 

grow: develop, get bigger, expand

grow up: become an adult or mature

And we also need to fulfill our potential.

Good phrase: fulfill our potential

Set the short-term and long-term goals.

If you real like this job, you need to....

You also need to take continuous education to enhance your skills. 

If they want to set a goal, they should first analyze their own situation.

Different people need to have different goals.

Long-term goals should be cut into short-term goals, that makes it is easy to complete.

And most important is do it.

You reap what you sow. 

I will tell people that I think you should divide your goals into two categories: the first is short-term goals and the second is long-term goals.

... or the management people.

That should be much harder to do.

迷信与信仰

When I was a young child, when there were crying baby, the old people would say she is scared by ghosts or scary things that are around. This is not the truth because maybe the baby is uncomfortable.

The women was found in a house, the police found her and they still don't know what he people heard a woman walked slowly, and cried with loud voice.

My mother said a magpie can give you good luck and crows can bring you bad things, if you see it you have stay at home.

It is just a misunderstanding, as we know the driver stopped at a gas station. As he was filling up his car, the hitchhiker went to the bathroom and she didn't see the hitchhiker and the driver drove away without her.

It is claimed that the owner heard a woman crying in the house, and the next morning she found herself
