1. Take it easy. You don't have to learn the newspaper by heart nor know about every tiny detail of what is happening around the globe. Yes, you need to be informed, yes, your general knowledge has to improve. But by all means, don't get sleep deprived over this. Listening to the BBC while cooking and watching LCI why you're ironing your shirts should be a lifestyle, but not perceived as being homework (i.e. something you do because you have to, rather than because you want to).

2. Do it step by step. Focus on small goals. If you notice parasite words you say or sounds you do, try interpreting any given speech focusing on that problem. Do it for a week or son until that given point is corrected.

10 Ways to Prepare

前幾日，看見網路上朋友轉載這篇文章，心有戚戚焉，

自幾年前，簽了ECFA後，今天簽了兩岸服務貿易協定，又再次顯現出行政權大過於立法權的窘境，資訊不公開、不透明化，躲避監督嫌疑，似有專制之傾向。多數人都瞭解，如今全球化潮流，每一個國家都渴望開放，降低限制，經濟活動頻繁化，增加本國進入他國市場的競爭力。但是，很多國家都不是笨蛋，開放是開放，他們早已思考到開放的利弊，先想好保護自己國家利益的措施，再簽署這些條約。然而，台灣政府單位呢？有沒有做到這件事情？有待查驗！

如黃良木文章所述，「不只是在兩岸貿易協商上，在TPP、RCEP等亞洲區域經濟整合熱絡的情況下，台灣不可能不開放市場；而在中國積極與其他國家如日、韓協商FTA的情況下，台灣要維持國際競爭力，也不可能拒絕中國進行經貿協商。封閉市場已不可能，不拿自己的市場開放去交換他國市場開放，也不可能。但問題是，在市場開放的情形下，有沒有妥善、小心地作評估，並且讓可能受衝擊的產業事前就了解、做準備，同時政府單位也應對受衝擊產業量身訂做因應與補貼的措施」

Change Starts With You 

Don’t try to change others or your circumstances around before you first learn to change yourself. Judge not or you will be judged. Before we try to change what is around us, let us look within us, with an honest heart and see what needs to be changed in our own lives.

政治為管理眾人之事。既有“眾”這一字，也就代表了千千萬萬人的需求，管理非從上而下，乃從下而上，滿足眾人的需求。
