The Illusion of Knowing, Respect Earned, and Breaking Patterns for Growth

In today’s episode of English Plus Podcast, we dive into three thought-provoking topics that challenge everyday assumptions and inspire new ways of thinking. First, we explore the illusion of knowledge—how social media tricks us into feeling like we know more than we do. Then, we decode the famous saying "Respect is earned, not given," reflecting on its relevance in different aspects of life. Finally, we tackle the challenges of getting unstuck—discovering when to persist and when it’s time to switch things up. Each topic is followed by a vocabulary-in-context segment, giving you practical phrases to enhance your daily conversations.
