被理解的勇氣

    Seeking to understand requires consideration; seeking to be understood takes courage.

想要理解別人需要體貼，想要被別人理解就需要勇氣。

    Ethos: your personal credibility

    Pathos: emotional connection

    Logos: logical reasoning

magnificent: extremely attractive and impressive; deserving praise

embody: to include or contain something

credibility: the quality that somebody/something has that makes people believe or trust them

validity: the state of being logical and true

acquaintance: a person that you know but who is not a close friend

grandiose: seeming very impressive but too large, complicated, expensive, etc. to be practical or possible

rhetoric: (formal, often disapproving) speech or writing that is intended to influence people, but that is not completely honest or sincere

soapbox: a small temporary platform that somebody stands on to make a speech in a public place, usually outdoors

    When you can present your own ideas clearly, specifically, visually, and most important, contextually --- in the context of a deep understanding of other people's paradigms and concerns --- you significantly increase the credibility of your ideas.

如果你能清晰、具體、生動地表達自己的想法，並且以深入了解他人的思維方式和關注點為背景來說明，那麼你的觀點就會更有說服力。

dividend: great advantages or profits

fester: to become much worse because you do not deal with them successfully

    Make the human element as important as the financial or the technical element. You save tremendous amounts of time, energy, and money when you tap into the human resources of a business at every level.

將人性化因素看得和財務或技術因素一樣重要。當你在企業各個層面充分利用人力資源時，就能節省大量時間、精力和金錢。

    When we really, deeply understand each other, we open the door to creative solutions and third alternatives. Our differences are no longer stumbling blocks to communication and progress. Instead, they become the stepping-stones to synergy.

當我們真正理解彼此時，就能開啟創意解決方案和第三個選擇的大門。我們的差異不再是溝通與進步的障礙，而變成了邁向協同增效的墊腳石。

stumbling block: something that causes problems and prevents you from achieving your aim
