Podcasts about great great

In this episode, I talk about the foundation to achieving more out of your life. Over the past few weeks, I kept asking myself What makes the Great…Great. I've realized they were very disciplined to achieve their goals. They did not allow LIFE'S TEMPTATIONS pull them away from what they wanted to achieve. A lot of times in life we allow what is going on around us to get in the way of what is inside of us, which is the dream we want to achieve. So… Family… I challenge you to pick up those self-disciplines that you put on hold and PRESS PLAY AGAIN.

Starting a business is a huge creative pursuit. It requires plenty of knowledge and patience, but at the same time, you need to come up with creative solutions to problems.   One of the biggest problems when starting a business is making that choice to start. That's something I was particularly interested in when I talked to Bunny Pages. He started his business at age 49, by many standards, it was late in the game, but obviously worked well for Bunny.   What started as small kiosks and a school in a garage is now a leader in Cebu’s growing food industry. With household name restaurants like Lantaw, House of Lechon, Mooon Cafe, and Thirsty just to name a few, they are one of the biggest names in the food industry.   In this podcast, we talked about the decision to start a business, his humble beginnings, the main purpose of their business, maximizing return on luck, blue oceans vs. red oceans, and closing a business.   Enjoy the episode!   SHOWNOTES Pages Holdings Manulife Insurance Company of Canada Blue Ocean Strategy Book Good to Great Great by Choice Jim Collins Dr. Norberto Quisumbing Norkis David Allen Getting Things Done Ready for Anything Cebu Chamber of Commerce Ramon Lopez DTI Kapatid Mentor Me Program Credit Suisse Mandaue Chamber of Commerce Ingrid Santa Maria Steve Benitez Jmall Aboitiz Ateneo Family Business Development Center Cheryl Pages-Alba   Where can you find Bunny Pages? 0917 321 6224 (incredible story of where you can find his number)   This episode is sponsored by Qube Gallery. A progressive art space in Cebu, Philippines.

His works have been archival in nature, believing that in order to elevate people’s consciousness, mundane things and happenings around should be given high regard. His works delved much on Elias as his subject, by which he likened himself and retrospectively find parallelism and similarities in his growing up years. To date, Mundane Rituals pushes further the story of his son and that of his to own to what resembles and celebrates the familiarity of the common and ordinary experiences others have imbibed and practiced.

Minimalism and Generalism need to work side-by-side if you want to be better at everything and get more done each day and far more out of life, with less stress.  My guest Pat Flynn from Pennsylvania is a repeat offender on this podcast, and he appeared back on Episode 9: Being a Generalist When we spoke last, he mentioned the book he was in the process of writing, and now it is a reality - How To Be Better At (Almost) Everything.  Today we discuss:  Pat has two guiding principles: Minimalism: Working out the shortest path between A and B using a cross-over between effectiveness and efficiency, and Generalism: Being good to great in many things.  Learning anything quickly Stacking your Skills  The 4 R's Repetition Resistance Restriction * Review Restriction If you restrict one area in life or business, you are forced to improve in other areas. Pat gave an example of becoming a better guitar player by restricting the use of his fingers and a better martial artist by tieing one arm behind is back.  In business, Pat was naturally a good copywriter, and he used this skill to build his business, but he neglected his analytical skills, so he made a conscious decision he was going to focus and improve his analytical weakness and stop relying on his strength.  The Sydney City Roosters did this recently with their star (and injured) player, Cooper Cronk in the Grand Final. His injury forced them to think a different way and the Melbourne Storm was not ready for this change in mindset. See the story on Fox Sports: Why he couldn't have played the grand final without his teammates guarding his secret.  Bring Skills Together When you restrict a skill you were already good at and combine it with a new skill you have been forced to improve upon, you will become better overall at whatever you do.  Perfection Don't let perfect get in your way. If you wait for everything to be perfect, you could miss a lot of opportunities. Done and out the door is better than perfect and in the draw.  Great Great is the enemy of good: If you're waiting for that great idea to come before you take action it could be a long wait. You're better to keep applying good ideas, one after another until greatness appears.  Monday Morning Tip To be a generalist you need to become a short-term specialist, so focus on one or two things at a time and no more. Maintain your other skills in the process but don't try and get better at too many things at once or you will not succeed.  If you want to stalk Pat Flynn while he sleeps, you'll find him on most social media platforms or at: HowToBe BetterBook.Com ChroniclesofStrength.com You can also pre-order his book to receive a ton of bonuses.  If you have any questions about this podcast, please email me at tf@tysonfranklin.com, and if you enjoy this podcast show, it will put a huge SMILE on my face if you gave it a REVIEW on iTunes.  Free Downloads Yes, you'll have to give me your email address but don't panic you can get the free info and unsubscribe afterwards.   First 16 Pages of My Book – It’s No Secret There’s Money in Small Business. 12 Secrets to Get More People Through Your Front Door

Aprender ingles gratis con La Mansion del Ingles. Un podcast para mejorar la gramatica, el vocabulario y la pronunciacion del ingles. Una leccion del ingles con ejemplos y ejercicios. Learn English free with podcasts from La Mansion del Ingles. Improve your grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation. This English lesson contains examples and exercises. Hello again and Happy New Year! Thank you for downloading this Mansión Inglés podcast. This is podcast number 45 recorded for January 2012. I hope that together we can improve your English and take it to the next level. This month we have más verbos y vocabulario en el nivel básico. At intermediate level some grammar - the causative have - and some cinema vocabulary. There's a video to watch on YouTube about applying for a job in the business section. Idioms and expressions for advanced students and much much more. En los podcasts mensuales hablamos de los temas, vocabulario y ejercicios que salen en nuestro cuaderno mensual. Así podáis practicar la pronunciación y repasar el material del cuaderno. Si quieres recibir gratis el cuaderno cada mes, ver la trascripción de este podcast o leer los anteriores, vete a mansioningles.com y sigue los enlaces en la página principal. En el nivel básico hemos practicado algunos verbos que gastamos con mucha frecuencia en ingles. Escucha y repite las frases siguientes. to speak - hablar - My friend Jimmy speaks French, he speaks German and he speaks Japanese. to play - tocar - Paula plays the piano. - Denis plays the drums - Gordon plays the guitar and Barry plays the bass. to do - hacer - Roberto does his homework. to like - gustar - Spanish people like rice. I like fish and chips to write - escribir - Please write your name, Can you write your address? Please write your passport number. to use - utilizar - Pepito uses Facebook I use Twitter - Do you use Twitter? Follow us on Twitter - Siguenos en Twitter to go - ir - Dave goes swimming after work. to study - estudiar - My girlfriend studies business to wear - llevar - My dad wears socks and sandals - in the summer! to drive - conducir - Gary drives a blue car. Very good! - ¡Muy bien! Ahora escucha y repite los grupos de vocabulario. Monday Tuesday Wednesday, Thursday Friday Saturday May, June, July, August, September Summer, autumn (UK) Fall (US), winter, spring England-English, Spain-Spanish, Germany-German, France-French, Italy-Italian. go-went-gone, speak-spoke, spoken, fly-flew-flown, see-saw. seen, have-had, had, drive-drove-driven. Fantastic! In the intermediate section this month there is a grammar point that may be a bit difficult for some listeners, so I'll repeat it here. It's the causative have and we use it when someone does something for us and we don't so it ourselves. For example. most people do not cut their hair themselves. Do you cut your hair by yourself? In the bathroom in front of the mirror? Well maybe, but probably not. You probably go to a hairdresser (una peluquería), don't you? So, you don't cut your hair. You personally don't cut your hair, you have your hair cut. You have your hair cut by a hairdresser. Many years ago when I was young, and poor, I painted my flat myself, I actually worked as a painter for a few months. So I know how to paint and so I painted my flat. Now I'm older, I have a little more money and I pay someone to paint my flat. I have my flat painted. I had may flat painted about 6 months ago, actually. I can say I have my flat painted or I get my flat painted. I had my flat painted or I got my flat painted. Tiene la misma significado pero el get es un poco más informal. Entonces el causative es el verbo have (or get) + el objecto + el participio pasado - I had (el verbo have) my flat (el objeto) painted (el participio) Repeat: I have my flat painted - You should get your teeth checked - I must have my back examined - We had air-conditioning installed - Where did you get your hair cut? - I'm having my car serviced (a car service is una revisión del coche) Repeat: - I'm having my car serviced - Where does he have his suits made? - You should get this carpet cleaned - I'm getting my eyes checked - Why don't you have this TV fixed? - I got my ears pierced - I want to get my nose pierced. Ok, moving on to cinema vocabulary. Now, I'll say some words in Spanish, in my bad pronunciation, that are connected to the cinema, and I want you to say the English translation before I do. Then, repeat the word to practise pronunciation. Ready? banda sonora - soundtrack papel - role guión - script ensayo - rehearsal - the verb is to rehearse - ensayar - to rehearse for a play, concert or film público, espectadores - audience  (remember it's audience for the cinema, for music concerts, plays etc and spectators for football matches and other sports events.) critica - review (remember, critic is a false friend, un amigo falso - critic is the person and review is the thing the critic writes or says about the film, book or play.) reparto - cast Ok, let’s see if you can remember the idioms from this month’s cuaderno selection. I’ll say an idiom in Spanish and you say the equivalent idiom in English before I do. Then you should repeat the idiom in English to practice pronunciation. I'll give you a clue (una pista) by saying a word that's in the idiom. Ok, ready? Oh, and before I start I apologise in advance for my bad Spanish pronunciation. Cuando hay hambre, no hay mal pan / pan duro. - PORT - Any port in a storm. A todos les llega su momento de gloria. - DOG - Every dog has its day. Sobre gustos, no hay nada escrito. - STROKES - Different strokes for different folks. Los genios pensamos igual. - GREAT - Great minds think alike. El necio es atrevido y el sabio comedido - FOOLS - Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. Quien paga elige. - PIPER - He who pays the piper calls the tune. Also in the advanced section we looked at some every day expressions that you may know the meaning of but may not necessarily use in your normal day to day English. I hope you'll choose on or two and start using them now when you speak. So, the first one was Each and every one of you. You can also say every last one or every single one. It means, of course, every individual in a group, for example; Each and every student must register by tomorrow, or I've sent every last one of my Christmas cards, or Every single one of his answers was wrong. All of these phrases are generally used for emphasis. One by one means one at a time, uno por uno - I searched through the cupboards one by one but I couldn't find the cup you bought me. Second to none - the best - lo máximo, insuperable - Our podcasts are second to none. Actually, our podcasts are second to many other, better podcasts, but I like the example! Perhaps our enthusiasm and motivation is second to none. What we lack in quality, we make up for in enthusiasm (to make up for means compensar) We've got an awful lot to do, an awful lot is a great amount or a great number - muchísimas cosas tenemos que hacer - We've got an awful lot to do. There are an awful lot of people in the queue. Precious little is the opposite - I've got precious little time - not much time, hardly any time - escasísimo - You've got precious little to worry about. Either way means de cualquier manera - You can fly or go by train. Either way the trip is going to be expensive. Make the most of means to take advantage of. I think in Spanish it's something like sacar partido de algo or sacar lo más posible. You only get one chance so make the most of it. These podcasts are free, so make the most of them. A good few means several. For example, at the conference, I was surprised to meet a good few people who had heard of our company. All too often means something like demasiado seguido. For example, drug addicts, all too often, steal from their families to get money for drugs. All too often. Ahora un anuncio, así que puedes hacer fast forward si no quieres escuchar.

I hope you liked the video exercise about applying for a job and I hope it was useful. Oh, and thanks to LinguaTV.com for allowing us to link to the video. I think there were some useful expressions in the video. Listen and repeat some of them with me now. Fíjate en la entonación de las preguntas y intenta copiarla: Is it a full time or a part time position? What would my responsibilities be? Can I make an appointment for an interview? What is your educational background? What work experience do you have? Could you please tell me what the job would entail? Could you please email me your résumé? Could you please email me your references? Could you give me your email address please? Could you please spell your last name for me? Good, Ok. Now, résumé in Spanish is currículum. I think it's from the French word. It sounds French to me résumé. In British English we say CV, which stands for the Latin currículum vitae, CV in the UK, résumé in the US. Can you send me your CV? Could you please email me your CV? Ok, now repeat these other useful phrases and questions from the video: May I please speak with Miss Thomson? Ok, put her through please. Jane Thomson speaking. How can I help you? - How can I help you? I'm sorry, but I didn't catch your name. Would you mind if I first ask you some questions? Can you repeat your name please? I'm pretty good at organising things. I'm fluent in Spanish and Italian. That sounds like an exciting challenge to me. I'll send you my CV within the hour. Thank you very much for your time.

We started with a silent meditation with free choice on practicing one of the Shamatha practices. Then Alan gave some examples of the path of Shamatha. He joked that commenting on your daily meditation practice as being “bad” or “good” or having “highs and lows” is like the habit of coming home to a spouse and reporting on your day. Alan encouraged us not to measure and evaluate our practice in a hedonic way, but rather to think about what we can bring to our practice in terms of motivation, and to evaluate our performance based on that. He gave the example of a farmer: a farmer doesn’t reap a harvest very quickly; it takes a while to plow the land, sow the seeds, etc. He said that he hopes we will respond to the question, “How is your practice?” by saying that we are doing “GREAT” (GREAT being the acronym for: “Gently but Relentlessly Easing and Arousing Tension”). In Shamatha it is necessary to “tune our instrument.” At times we’ll have to release and tighten the tension. This is the Middle Way.
