Let's Chitchat - Esperienze ed aperitivi in inglese in piccoli gruppi

TOPIC OF THE WEEK: "GIVING UP" suggested by Fabio Gugole ‼️

"Winners never quit and quitters never win." Is this motto true for you?

Or knowing when to GIVE UP is as strategic as perserverence?

Here is some food for thoughts...

Failure isn't something many of us can handle gracefully. The temptation to give up is a common one, and nobody is exempt.

Therefore, reminding to pick yourself up and move forward is really crucial.

But...

at the same time...

there are situations when quitting what you are doing is not failing: it’s a way of avoiding failure!

We can’t do everything, can we? Stopping is just part of the game.

Achievement comes from quitting something sooner or later: to free up time and energy for what we consider more effective.

In "The Dip", the author Seth Godin helps us to see the difference between "giving up because it’s easier"
and "giving up because it’s wiser".

If you'd like to dive into this topic yourself you can read a summary of the book here: https://fourminutebooks.com/the-dip-summary/

Otherwise, let's hang around and discuss this interesting topic together in front of a drink at the "chitchat"!

Much 🧡
See you soon!

The Dip by Seth Godin will show you when to quit and when to keep going through difficult times in your journey toward success. Read our The Dip summary.

TOPIC OF THE WEEK:
ORGANIZATION: GETTING YOUR DUCK IN A ROW

If you'd like to meet up with our group, we're organizing a SPEAK DATE on Wednesday evening around 7.30 pm in S. Martino area. First time is always free:)

What does "getting one'ducks in a row" mean?

To get your ducks in a row means to organize your tasks and schedule so that you are ready for the next step.

There are a number of theories behind the origin of this expression. Real ducklings, of course, walk in a line behind their parent, and the expression ducks in a row certainly brings that image to mind.

Organization is the topic of this week. Let's discuss about it.

Give me a ring or drop me a message if you'd like to sign up: 3291247486 Paola

Cheers!!

Contrary to popular belief, time does not heal, time does not fly, time does not do anything. Time has no consciousness. It does nothing for you. The key to happiness now is what you choose to do with your time right now. Are you, right now, making the most valuable use of your time? This moment is, after all, the time of your life. Your choices are what make each moment. ~Robert Holden

Interessante "at the back of beyond" che sarebbe il nostro " in c**o al mondo"!

E "above and beyond", che significa "ben oltre".

Esempio: She always goes above and beyond what is expected of her.
Va sempre ben oltre ciò che ci si aspetta da lei.

lo sapevi?
