Stepping back into academia, it feels like everyone is speaking a different language

Keywords: academia , balance , phd , reading , theory , whitmore , work-life

There are theorists that I have heard of at best, but never read, and theoretical concepts that I have no grasp of at all. However, I am starting to notice my vocabulary expanding and I am making connections between the theories I am studying and what I am reading for pleasure.

It has been proven that metaphors are found in all languages and in all cultures around the world

Keywords: companies

As is so well defined by a couple of authors, “metaphors act as prefabricated building blocks of mental imagery.” By making use of existing and appropriate imagery, a professional sales person can be able to get a customer to as close to the new experience as possible.

A creation or literature becomes world famous when it is translated from one language to another, so that it can reach a large number of readers

Have you ever thought, that how it became so popular? Let me tell you, Bhagwat geeta was basically written in Sanskrit language then it was  translated into many languages such as Hindi, English, French, etc. So, that a large community can connect with it. This is the power of translation that it conveys the message of creation to all over the world.

Grew up in Montréal with an English-speaking Mom and a French-speaking Dad — Now in Italy, losing a native language + having feelings about it

Why the hell do I have to go to French school? We speak English at home! My cousins went to English school. My friends spoke English. I didn’t need to learn French. IT WASN’T PART OF MY BRAND.

Because I had vacationed in New Jersey with my family the summer before kindergarten and knew Americans mainly spoke English, I made the executive decision to not learn a second language. Who the fuck has time to learn another language at 5?
