In this first episode of 2021, we wanted to talk about the importance of setting goals. We briefly reflect back on 2020: the health pandemic, call for social justice, the struggle for security & sense of normalcy. We then jump into setting goals for this New Year. We challenge you to ask the question of 'What’s next?'Far too many people wait for things to happen to and for them. And then there are those who go after something; they are intentional. It is the ones who go after something who experience true growth and success.Here are a few things to consider when setting 2021 goals:Write your goals down-Establish a goal around each of these 5 categories: Personal, Relational, Financial, Physical & Business/Professional. Measure & implement-Create or use systems for achieving your goals. Consider the SMART acronym. SMART stands for: Specific, Measureable, Attainable, Relevant & Time. Build habits-Work backwards from your stated goals and develop habits. Don't forget to 'make your bed'. Here are some of the resources we shared about:Tracking system Buddy system/Executive coachingPublic Speaking Facebook: facebook.com/groups/publicspeakingpointsCoaching: dsbleadershipgroup.com/executive-coaching-dsb-leadership-group/Coaching Group: davidbrown1.podia.com/public-speaking-coaching-group*Schedule your complimentary discovery call ----more---- If you are looking to learn the art of audience engagement while listening for methods to conquer speaking anxiety, deliver persuasive presentations, and close more deals, then this is the podcast for you.Twins Talk it Up is a podcast where identical twin brothers Danny Suk Brown and David Suk Brown discuss leadership communication strategies to support professionals who believe in the power of their own authentic voice. Together, we will explore tips and tools to increase both your influence and value.  Along the way, let’s crush some goals, deliver winning sales pitches, and enjoy some laughs.Danny Suk Brown and David Suk Brown train on speaking and presentation skills.  They also share from their keynote entitled, “Identically Opposite: the Pursuit of Identity”. Support and Follow us:Patreon: patreon.com/dsbleadershipspeakingIG: @dsbleadershipgroupTwitter: @dsbleadershipLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/dsbleadershipgroup/Facebook: facebook.com/dsbleadership/Website: dsbleadershipgroup.com/TwinsTalkitUp

You're a corker!

It's full of bad Irish accents, continuity errors, extremely misplaced comedy & a hilarious incident involving a penny farthing.

The shooting has sparked a wave of protests in recent days, some of which have turned violent.

She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head. [4] Some of those present were saying indignantly to one another, “Why this waste of perfume? [5] It could have been sold for more than a year's wages and the money given to the poor.” And they rebuked her harshly. [6] “Leave her alone,” said Jesus. “Why are you bothering her? She has done *a beautiful thing* to me. [7] The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them any time you want. But you will not always have me. [8] She did what she could. She poured perfume on my body beforehand to prepare for my burial. [9] Truly I tell you, wherever the gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.” 馬可福音 14:3-9 CNV 3 耶穌在伯大尼,在患痲風的西門家裡吃飯的時候,有一個女人來了,拿著一瓶珍貴的純哪噠香膏。她打破了瓶,把香膏澆在耶穌的頭上。 4 有幾個人很生氣,彼此說:“為甚麼這樣浪費香膏呢? 5 這香膏可以賣三百多個銀幣,用來賙濟窮人。”他們就向她發怒。 6 但耶穌說:“由她吧!為甚麼難為她呢?她在我身上作的是 *一件美事* 。 7 你們常常有窮人跟你們在一起,只要你們願意,隨時都可以向他們行善,然而你們卻不常有我。 8 她已經盡她所能的作了。她預先用香膏膏了我的身體,是為了我的安葬。 9 我實在告訴你們,福音無論傳到世界上甚麼地方,都要傳講這女人所作的來記念她。” Jesus honours those that honour Him and his church 耶穌尊重那些尊重衪與衪教會的人 1 Samuel 2:30 (partial) NIV But now the Lord declares: 'Far be it from me! *Those who honor me I will honor* 撒母耳記上 2:30 (部分經分) CNV 現在耶和華卻說:‘我決不容你們這樣行了, *因為尊重我的,我必尊重他* Ephesians 5:25-27 NLT [25] For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her [26] to make her holy and clean, washed by the cleansing of God's word. [27] He did this to present her to himself as a *glorious church without a spot or wrinkle or any other blemish* . Instead, she will be holy and without fault. 以弗所書 5:25-27 CNV 25 你們作丈夫的,要愛妻子,好像基督愛教會,為教會捨己, 26 為的是要用水藉著道把教會洗淨,成為聖潔,27 *可以作榮耀的教會歸給自己,甚麼污點皺紋等也沒有* ,而是聖潔沒有瑕疵的。 Let’s give Jesus our best! 向耶穌奉上我們的最好! Luke 21:1-4 NIV [1] As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. [2] He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. [3] “Truly I tell you,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others. [4] All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; *but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.”* 路加福音 21:1-4 CNV 1 耶穌抬眼看見有錢的人把奉獻投入奉獻箱。 2 他又看見一個窮寡婦,投入兩個小錢, 3 就說:“我實在告訴你們,這個窮寡婦所投的,比眾人投的更多。 4 因為這些人都是把自己剩餘的投進去作奉獻, *這寡婦是自己不足,卻把所有養生的都投進去了* 。” Serve Jesus out of a grateful heart 以感謝的心來侍奉耶穌 2 Corinthians 9:11 NIV [11] *You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous* on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God. 哥林多後書 9:11 CNV 11 *你們既然凡事富裕,就可以慷慨地捐輸* ,使眾人藉著我們,對 神生出感謝的心。

The subject of many people's conversations is the flu. Everybody is talking about it. The clinics and hospitals are full of people who have flu symptoms, and supermarkets have shelves full of medicines, tissues(1), and vitamin powders. I've been lucky so far(2); my children and my husband have had it, but not me(3). And I'm not going to, I keep telling myself. I'm using mind over matter(4). When I do go to the supermarket, I'll often hear a horrible cough in one direction, and a sneeze in another(5). So what do I do then? I get as far away as possible(6). I push my shopping cart to the opposite part of the store as quickly as possible. I bumped into a man I know the other day, and he said, "Anna, you are the fastest moving thing(7) in the store!" At home I've been moving fast as well. There is extra washing to do. I wipe the countertops with disinfecting wipes(8). I remind the kids to wash their hands with soap and water, and to drink lots of water and juice. And I open windows as much as possible. And after all of that, really the only thing you should do is rest, stay warm, and sleep.  1. 'Tissues' here mean paper handkerchiefs. The word 'tissue' is the general word used, as 'handkerchief' is out dated. It is also the general word for organic material. a. Do you need a tissue? It sounds like you have a bad cold. b. He lost tissue from his hand in the accident. 2. 'So far' could be replaced by 'up until now'. a. So far he has been very successful in his career. b. We haven't been able to get a loan so far. 3. 'My children and husband have had it, but not me.' The last part of this sentence is a simplified way of speaking. It is equally normal to say 'but I haven't' at the end of the sentence, as I have already used the verb 'to have'. However, I think an easier way of completing the sentence is by saying 'but not me'. It is correct and also common use. Even if I had used the verb 'to do', I could have finished the sentence the same way. a. They did it, but not me (but I didn't). b. The class read the book, but not her (name). 4. 'Mind over matter' is a set phrase which means that you are trying to convince yourself, and control your own physical symptoms. a. I was terrified of bungie jumping, but I used mind over matter, and I did it! b. He doesn't like giving speeches, but with mind over matter he manages. 5. As with most languages, the word 'another' or other implies the repetition of a noun, so you don't have to mention it twice. a. In my kitchen I found a mouse on one chair, and a spider on another! b. He cut his finger on one knife, and his thumb on another. 6. 'As far away as possible' is an example of the phrase 'as ....as possible'. The words 'far away' might make it seem more complicated, but it's actually not. 'Far away' is simply put in between 'as' and 'as possible', like many, many other things. a. He ran as fast as possible to catch the bus. b. He always stands as close as possible to people, but his breath stinks! c. She writes her essays as carefully as possible. 7. "Anna, you're the fastest moving thing in the store" this sentence uses 'moving thing' to add humor because it shows me as a thing and not a person. In fact, the speaker could have said just 'the fastest thing in the store' and missed out 'moving'. We use a superlative adjective with 'thing' in these sentences. a. That child is the loudest thing in the whole shopping center. b. That dog is the ugliest thing I've ever seen! c. That article is the most ridiculous thing I've ever read! 8. 'Disinfecting wipes' are disposable cloths that have disinfecting liquid in them. The word 'wipe' is a verb, and a noun with two meanings: the action of wiping, and the cloth, a. I need a 'baby wipe' to clean the baby. b. Wipe your mouth, you have spaghetti sauce on it. c. He cleaned the glass with one wipe. Join me on FACEBOOK at Anna Fromacupofenglish; you're all invited.
