How did your tennis tournament turn out, Zoey?
I didn't reach the semifinals.
Oh, well, better luck next time.
Ohh… Higashikori, How you, devil!
Oh, what happened?
She returned most of my serves. Ugh…
That's too bad.
I wasn't my best today.
Why are you limping?
I slipped and bruised my knee during the match.
That's tough luck! A little injury isn't going to defeat you.
Don't you ever try to console me like that because I don't need it. Thank you very much indeed.
Oh, that's the spirit.
Higashikori! Ugh….
I understand how you feel.
Yes.
Kind of a sore loser.
（sore loser = 負け惜しみを言う人、潔く負け［失敗］を受け入れない人）
Very sore, isn't she?
Ouch.
So it didn't turn out very well.
Not well at all.
To say the least.
I don't want to talk about it anymore.
OK.
Change the subject.
Oh my.
But you'll get revenge next time.
That's the spirit.
Yes.
Higashikori.
Ugh....

Sally's Electronics opened today with a bang!
Yes, we were pleased with the turnout.
How were sales?
Well, I think I should say not bad. We sold half a million dollars of merchandise.
Oh, that's nothing to sneeze at.
Oh, that's what I've been told but I disagree. It didn't exceed my goals.
My! You are an ambitious company.
We aim to be one. Having said that, I think I can take some credit for the outcome.
Do you have any advice for young entrepreneurs?
Don't copy me. Don't do this at home. Acquire the skills you need to succeed, then copy me.
Her advice is very unique.
What did she say?
She said, "Don't copy me" and "Don't do this at home."
That's right. That's usually for something dangerous, right? Yeah.
That's supposed to be humor, right? But she's so proud.
Yes, but it was interesting. She said, "Get the skills you need, then copy me."
I see. So she's saying, "Do exactly what I did."
Yeah.
After you get good at it.
Because she's so good.
Right.
Such huge sales.
Yes.
Say, "We were pleased with the turnout."
Nothing to sneeze at.

Mie, you are looking perfectly low.
Thanks, Carl. I have a new lease on life.
How did that come about?
Do you recall my New Year's resolution?
Uh… Refresh my memory.
My resolution was to stop hanging out with positive people.
Uh-huh. How did you manage to do that?
I changed my circle of friends.
Am I still your friend?
You're my best friend.
Whew!
I have to say that's a first to change your circle of friends to negative people.
Really?
Probably not a good idea.
Well, negative or positive, tomorrow is another day.
Yes and we can have a new lease on life.
That's right.

That's a long to-do list.
I write down my daily goals as soon as I wake up.
Debby, you're amazing. I could never do that!
It gives me a sense of accomplishment. It makes me feel I am living fully and perfectly.
I'm a chronic procrastinator.
Let's go to the stationery store. I'll get you a daily planner.
Uh… Let's do it later.
It's now or never, Barry!
Okay. You win.
Let me write down this additional activity first.
Okay. Uh… a-r-y?
I beg your pardon?
The spelling, stationery … the last part is a-r-y?
No. It's e-r-y. Stationery, e-r-y. Look at this quick dictionary.
Oh, sorry.
Time wasted, ten seconds.
You know, as they say, nobody is perfect.
Except me.
Well, that's about it for today, so until next time
Keep listening
Keep practicing
And keep on smiling. Oh, that gives me a sense of accomplishment.
Yes.
You, too?
Yes.
You, three.
Me, three.
All right.
Bye!
