Who are you? Where will you go?
https://tw.voicetube.com/v3/videos/146286?ref=new
I'm sorry for you because of editing late. However, we try to discuss about perseverance and determination.
很抱歉,這麼晚才發文。然而,我們可以討論毅力與決心的主題。
Before decoding these two words, we have to think about three questions.
(1)What's your resolution in your life or in this year?
(2)Do you have your systems to manage problems in your life?
(3)Do you have strong determination to achieve your goals?
解開這兩字的意思之前,我們先想想以下三個問題:
(1)在你的生命或今年,你的願望是什麼?
(2)你是否有系統化的方式處理生活中大小事?
(3)你是否有強大的決心要完成目標?
From my perspectives, who you will be depends on your current decisions.
對我而言,你想成為什麼樣子的人端看你現在的一念之間。
Some people may say that they will be elites in their field whereas others will be civilians in their life.
有些人也許想在他們的領域成為優秀傑出的人才,有些則是在生活中平凡度過一生。
Tagore's sayings—“ I cannot choose the best. The best chooses me.” comes to my mind.
這讓我想到泰戈爾曾說過:「我無法選擇最好的,最好的才會選擇我。」
最後,希望讀者能記住泰戈爾的詩句,在逆境時鼓勵自己。
我是Janet,
Hope you have a nice day.

Your thoughts may be different from this authors' thoughts. As long as you didn't go off the topic, it doesn't matter what you thought. Because of diverse topics, I choose one of the topics and tell you how to use relevant words.
go off the topic phr. 離題 (Hanyu pinyin :lítí)
diverse a. 多樣化的 (Hanyu pinyin :duōyànghuà de)
It doesn't matter.... 沒關係..... (Hanyu pinyin: méi guān xi)
Topic:Meeting n. 會議(相關的) p.409
When your boss assigns you to arrange the time of a meeting, you have to consider these things.
1.Explaining the purposes
2.Offering dates and time when everyone can attend this interior meeting.
3.Appreciating customers or other people who pay attention to your requests.
If possible, you will face how to manage change of time arrangement. Because of this reason, you need to mention original time arrangement of this meeting and confirm new time arrangement. Otherwise, you will probably be a layoff.
On the other hand, if you want to cancel the time arrangement of this meeting, you will reiterate original time arrangement of this meeting and give a simple reason and an apology to the person you will meet. Moreover, if you miss this important meeting, you have to give a sincere letter to your supervisors.
reiterate v.重複說明 (chóngfù shuōmíng)
sincere a.真誠的 (Hanyu pinyin: zhēnchéng de)
在商業寫作中,你要簡潔有力地將信件內容說明清楚,別人也才會更快地回應你。
表達專業和禮貌性的開頭與署名(signature):
Dear Tiffany Tsai------------->Janet Huang
或是(or)
Hi, Tiffany----------------->Janet
