交流无国界，友谊亦无边，英缘际会，语挚情深, 欢迎参加2026年1月25日城市部落英文读书会，社交英语角 weekly Language exchange & bookclub meetup Topic discussion主题讨论: 《Atomic Habits》《原子习惯》 英文读书会 Atomic Habits: The life-changing million-copy [#1]() bestseller。。A NEW YORK TIMES AND SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER，或许成功不是源自偶尔的壮举，而是来自日复一日微小习惯的重复。 ⚡️ 为什么改变总是难以持续？ 也许，你只是还没把习惯“变成自己的一部分”。本周，我们以《Atomic Habits》为起点，探索微小行动如何撬动长期自我进化——不止读书，更在对话中实践“习惯的复利”。 No matter your goals, Atomic Habits offers a proven framework for improving--every day. James Clear, one of the world's leading experts on habit formation, reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results. 参加请扫码报名： Venue: People Square in Shanghai 上海人民广场 Cost: 早鸟小红书转发分享活动公益免费，空降票50元/人，. Date & time: Jan 25th 上午 10:00-12:3 'Atomic Habits is a step-by-step manual for changing routines.' Books of the Month, Financial Times，'James Clear has spent years honing the art and studying the science of habits. This engaging, hands-on book is the guide you need to break bad routines and make good ones.' Adam Grant, author of Originals。。These small changes will have a revolutionary effect on your career, your relationships, and your life. 《原子习惯》《Atomic Habits》，量变引起质变，微小习惯改变巨大命运。改善是暂时的，除非它们成为你的一部分。习惯是自我提高的复利。从长远来看，每天进步1%的效果不容小觑。 你的身份来自你的习惯。每个行动都是你在投票给你想成为的人 Transform your life with tiny changes in behaviour, starting now. People think that when you want to change your life, you need to think big. But world-renowned habits expert James Clear has discovered another way. He knows that real change comes from the compound effect of hundreds of small decisions: doing two push-ups a day, waking up five minutes early, or holding a single short phone call. 作者詹姆斯·克利尔用比较严谨的数据，揭示了习惯的力量。在这本书籍中，教我们如何克服惰性，在微小中慢慢改变，小小的改变最终可能改变平庸的自己。 作者以各种例子说明，每日清晨按下闹钟，刷牙洗脸，喝杯水……这些看似微不足道的行为正以一种几乎察觉不到的方式塑造着我们的健康、事业和人际关系。让我们以一种细腻的思维重新思考这些微小习惯的力量。 He calls them atomic habits. In this ground-breaking book, Clears reveals exactly how these minuscule changes can grow into such life-altering outcomes. He uncovers a handful of simple life hacks (the forgotten art of Habit Stacking, the unexpected power of the Two Minute Rule, or the trick to entering the Goldilocks Zone), and delves into cutting-edge psychology and neuroscience to explain why they matter. Along the way, he tells inspiring stories of Olympic gold medalists, leading CEOs, and distinguished scientists who have used the science of tiny habits to stay productive, motivated, and happy. These small changes will have a revolutionary effect on your career, your relationships, and your life. “Atomic Habits” is a breakthrough in the skill of making tiny, gradual adjustments. James Clear presents the idea of atomic habits — tiny, seemingly insignificant behaviors that, when added together, have the capacity to completely change people’s lives. The little choices we make on a daily basis that ultimately determine our fate are more important than the large ones. The book makes a point of saying that our habits as a whole, rather than a single, significant act, define who we are. Little habits like going to the gym, reading one page a day, or choosing the stairs over the elevator may not seem like much, but they add up to a big difference over time. The 1% Rule: James Clear presents the concept of the 1% rule, which promotes appreciating the value of small gains. It represents a significant shift from the idea that the only way to succeed is to make drastic changes. Rather, “Atomic Habits” suggests that striving for 1% improvement each day can result in notable and long-lasting advancements in areas such as personal relationships, profession, and fitness over time. I could really relate to this idea. Realizing that I don’t have to muster superhuman strength every day is freeing; steady, incremental progress is the secret to long-term success. The Four Laws of Behavior Change: Cue, Craving, Response, and Reward are the Four Laws of Behavior Change upon which “Atomic Habits” is built. These laws serve as the foundation for the development of habits, offering an organized process for creating and breaking bad habits. Recognizing the signs that set off our habits, developing desires for favorable results, planning deliberate reactions, and savoring the results create a feedback loop that reinforces both negative and positive behaviors. With skill, Clear dissects this psychological dance and provides useful advice on how to positively rewire our habit loops. Identity-Based Habits: By supporting identity-based habits, the book offers a significant paradigm change. Clear urges readers to take on the identity of the person they want to be rather than becoming fixated on particular objectives. Becoming healthy is more important than reducing weight. This change in emphasis from results to identity modifies the story we tell about our behaviors, strengthening and authenticating them. For someone who has always struggled to stick to strict goals, the idea of identity-based behaviors was a welcome change of perspective. Being is more important than just doing. “Atomic Habits” explores how the environment affects behavior and exhorts readers to consciously create an environment that encourages the development of healthy habits. We may make desirable behaviors more difficult to engage in and unpleasant behaviors more difficult to follow by changing our surroundings. Stacking habits is another clever strategy that the book presents. We make use of associations by integrating new habits into preexisting routines. This approach simplifies the incorporation of constructive behaviors into our life, much like constructing a tower of habits. Breaking Bad Habits: James Clear takes a practical approach to overcoming the obstacle of breaking harmful behaviors. He presents the concept of habit reversal, which is recognizing the cues and rewards associated with negative habits and substituting them with positive ones. This recognizes that breaking old habits is hard and instead emphasizes substitution. For someone who battled indolence and aimless browsing, the habit reversal idea offered a concrete means to reorganize my brain connections and focus my efforts on more worthwhile endeavors. **Event schedule活动环节安排：** 本活动参与人群定位为上海工作和生活的喜欢英语、热爱交流分享的青年白领，及高校师生。 Other Schedule 其它环节: Heads up words guessing欢乐猜词， MBTI自我介绍 What is your personality, Never have I ever我有你没有， 英文私董会 Mentor for each other.

交流无国界，友谊亦无边，英缘际会，语挚情深, 欢迎参加2026年1月25日城市部落英文读书会，社交英语角 weekly Language exchange & bookclub meetup Topic discussion主题讨论: 《Atomic Habits》《原子习惯》 英文读书会 Atomic Habits: The life-changing million-copy [#1]() bestseller。。A NEW YORK TIMES AND SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER，或许成功不是源自偶尔的壮举，而是来自日复一日微小习惯的重复。 ⚡️ 为什么改变总是难以持续？ 也许，你只是还没把习惯“变成自己的一部分”。本周，我们以《Atomic Habits》为起点，探索微小行动如何撬动长期自我进化——不止读书，更在对话中实践“习惯的复利”。 No matter your goals, Atomic Habits offers a proven framework for improving--every day. James Clear, one of the world's leading experts on habit formation, reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results. 参加请扫码报名： Venue: People Square in Shanghai 上海人民广场 Cost: 早鸟小红书转发分享活动公益免费，空降票50元/人，. Date & time: Jan 25th 上午 10:00-12:3 'Atomic Habits is a step-by-step manual for changing routines.' Books of the Month, Financial Times，'James Clear has spent years honing the art and studying the science of habits. This engaging, hands-on book is the guide you need to break bad routines and make good ones.' Adam Grant, author of Originals。。These small changes will have a revolutionary effect on your career, your relationships, and your life. 《原子习惯》《Atomic Habits》，量变引起质变，微小习惯改变巨大命运。改善是暂时的，除非它们成为你的一部分。习惯是自我提高的复利。从长远来看，每天进步1%的效果不容小觑。 你的身份来自你的习惯。每个行动都是你在投票给你想成为的人 Transform your life with tiny changes in behaviour, starting now. People think that when you want to change your life, you need to think big. But world-renowned habits expert James Clear has discovered another way. He knows that real change comes from the compound effect of hundreds of small decisions: doing two push-ups a day, waking up five minutes early, or holding a single short phone call. 作者詹姆斯·克利尔用比较严谨的数据，揭示了习惯的力量。在这本书籍中，教我们如何克服惰性，在微小中慢慢改变，小小的改变最终可能改变平庸的自己。 作者以各种例子说明，每日清晨按下闹钟，刷牙洗脸，喝杯水……这些看似微不足道的行为正以一种几乎察觉不到的方式塑造着我们的健康、事业和人际关系。让我们以一种细腻的思维重新思考这些微小习惯的力量。 He calls them atomic habits. In this ground-breaking book, Clears reveals exactly how these minuscule changes can grow into such life-altering outcomes. He uncovers a handful of simple life hacks (the forgotten art of Habit Stacking, the unexpected power of the Two Minute Rule, or the trick to entering the Goldilocks Zone), and delves into cutting-edge psychology and neuroscience to explain why they matter. Along the way, he tells inspiring stories of Olympic gold medalists, leading CEOs, and distinguished scientists who have used the science of tiny habits to stay productive, motivated, and happy. These small changes will have a revolutionary effect on your career, your relationships, and your life. “Atomic Habits” is a breakthrough in the skill of making tiny, gradual adjustments. James Clear presents the idea of atomic habits — tiny, seemingly insignificant behaviors that, when added together, have the capacity to completely change people’s lives. The little choices we make on a daily basis that ultimately determine our fate are more important than the large ones. The book makes a point of saying that our habits as a whole, rather than a single, significant act, define who we are. Little habits like going to the gym, reading one page a day, or choosing the stairs over the elevator may not seem like much, but they add up to a big difference over time. The 1% Rule: James Clear presents the concept of the 1% rule, which promotes appreciating the value of small gains. It represents a significant shift from the idea that the only way to succeed is to make drastic changes. Rather, “Atomic Habits” suggests that striving for 1% improvement each day can result in notable and long-lasting advancements in areas such as personal relationships, profession, and fitness over time. I could really relate to this idea. Realizing that I don’t have to muster superhuman strength every day is freeing; steady, incremental progress is the secret to long-term success. The Four Laws of Behavior Change: Cue, Craving, Response, and Reward are the Four Laws of Behavior Change upon which “Atomic Habits” is built. These laws serve as the foundation for the development of habits, offering an organized process for creating and breaking bad habits. Recognizing the signs that set off our habits, developing desires for favorable results, planning deliberate reactions, and savoring the results create a feedback loop that reinforces both negative and positive behaviors. With skill, Clear dissects this psychological dance and provides useful advice on how to positively rewire our habit loops. Identity-Based Habits: By supporting identity-based habits, the book offers a significant paradigm change. Clear urges readers to take on the identity of the person they want to be rather than becoming fixated on particular objectives. Becoming healthy is more important than reducing weight. This change in emphasis from results to identity modifies the story we tell about our behaviors, strengthening and authenticating them. For someone who has always struggled to stick to strict goals, the idea of identity-based behaviors was a welcome change of perspective. Being is more important than just doing. “Atomic Habits” explores how the environment affects behavior and exhorts readers to consciously create an environment that encourages the development of healthy habits. We may make desirable behaviors more difficult to engage in and unpleasant behaviors more difficult to follow by changing our surroundings. Stacking habits is another clever strategy that the book presents. We make use of associations by integrating new habits into preexisting routines. This approach simplifies the incorporation of constructive behaviors into our life, much like constructing a tower of habits. Breaking Bad Habits: James Clear takes a practical approach to overcoming the obstacle of breaking harmful behaviors. He presents the concept of habit reversal, which is recognizing the cues and rewards associated with negative habits and substituting them with positive ones. This recognizes that breaking old habits is hard and instead emphasizes substitution. For someone who battled indolence and aimless browsing, the habit reversal idea offered a concrete means to reorganize my brain connections and focus my efforts on more worthwhile endeavors. **Event schedule活动环节安排：** 本活动参与人群定位为上海工作和生活的喜欢英语、热爱交流分享的青年白领，及高校师生。 Other Schedule 其它环节: Heads up words guessing欢乐猜词， MBTI自我介绍 What is your personality, Never have I ever我有你没有， 英文私董会 Mentor for each other.

Confidence can be cultivated in many ways—through reflection, conversation, creativity, and practice. In this Confidence Lab session, we’ll explore one powerful pathway: **building confidence from the inside out through physical expression and movement**. This experience is designed to help you reconnect with your body as a source of insight, self-trust, and presence. We’ll begin by grounding into what’s bringing you here, creating space to notice how your body is showing up and what it’s holding. From there, you’ll be guided through accessible movement exercises that invite awareness and choice—isolating different parts of the body, experimenting with movement, and practicing what it feels like to take up space intentionally. Next, you’ll participate in a small-group dance lesson led in a supportive, low-pressure environment. No dance experience is needed. The focus is not on performance or perfection, but on expression, curiosity, and allowing yourself to move with confidence as you are. We’ll close with a reflective group discussion, exploring what emerged during the experience and how these insights can be applied beyond the studio—how you inhabit your body, how you carry yourself, and how you show up in everyday life. **What to know:** * Wear comfortable clothes and shoes that you feel good moving in * No dance experience required * Light snacks and beverages will be provided This session is for anyone interested in deepening their relationship with confidence by listening to their body, expanding their capacity for self-expression, and practicing self-love as an embodied experience. **Featured Speaker: Mary Grace** Mary Grace, the dynamic force behind MG Choreography & Boutique, has been transforming special occasions with her unique blend of artistry and passion for over seven years. As a proud Latina, with Venezuelan and Mexican heritage, Mary brings a rich cultural perspective to every choreography she creates. Her dedication to dance is matched only by her commitment to empowering others through the joy and elegance of movement. Mary’s journey began with a simple passion for dancing, which quickly grew into a thriving business. She specializes in crafting personalized choreography for weddings, quinceañeras, and sweet sixteens, ensuring each event is unforgettable. Determined to make a significant impact in Ohio, Mary established the first-of-its-kind brick-and-mortar location that not only offers a space to practice these beautiful dances but also provides a boutique experience for purchasing or renting exquisite dresses and tuxedos for these special moments. Mary Grace is more than just a business owner; she is a trailblazer for Latina women in the community, dedicated to bringing elegance, joy, and a touch of her vibrant heritage to every event she touches. **What is Confidence Lab?** Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome!

**400**: Amazingly, this is our 400th event! A big, big, big thank you to all the members who have made the Hilliard Wine Club a great place to meet friends and drink wine. Thank you. **Smashburgers**: We'll close the doors at Alive614 a little early this evening to take a short trip to Wilson's, a new restaurant/bar that replaced Yabo's. I'm going for the smash burgers, but if that's not in your culinary wheelhouse they have a fairly generous menu featuring "Smash burgers, wings, Tex‑Mex", etc. : https://wilsonshilliard.com/menu/ . **On Freestyle night** \- just bring a bottle to share\. There is NO formal wine tasting like on other weeks\. Door charge is $10 \(cash or Venmo only please\)\. We may have some left over wines to clear out\! Glasses are provided\. Take Care\. See you there\. **Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. I am told that the Chase parking lot is safe after hours. **Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the EMPTY glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please do not make me hunt down your empty glass. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass! **Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing. **Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions. **After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee. Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends. Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***, **Red 1 Realty** *Your Hilliard Wine Club Host*

Powered by generative AI and deeply integrated into modern development environments, Copilot acts as an intelligent coding assistant, helping developers move faster while maintaining quality and focus. In this session, we’ll explore what GitHub Copilot is, how it works, and where it fits into a real-world developer workflow. We’ll break down what Copilot can (and cannot) do, where it can be used, and how licensing differs for individuals and organizations. Most importantly, this talk goes beyond theory with a live, hands-on demo showcasing Copilot inside the IDE and on GitHub, demonstrating how it can assist with code generation, refactoring, learning new APIs, and accelerating day-to-day development tasks. Designed for developers, technical leads, and engineering managers, this session provides a practical introduction to AI-assisted development, highlights best practices for getting value from Copilot, and closes with guidance on how to continue learning and evolving alongside this rapidly advancing tool. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how GitHub Copilot can enhance productivity, improve developer experience, and fit into modern software teams today, not someday. **YouTube Link** TBA
