1
Everything begins with a problem,
2
and it is up to us to find a solution.
3
When most people look at this Rubik's Cube,
4
they think one of two things.
5
Either I can solve it,
6
or I can't solve it.
7
But when I first looked at the Rubik's Cube,
8
I thought, what if I was able to solve it?
9
And so I twisted and turned,
10
repeated my moves with no luck.
11
But then I realized, hey, there's always the Internet.
12
And so I Googled how to solve a Rubik's Cube.
13
What I found eventually led me to start practicing how to solve it.
14
Solving the white side and the first two layers,
15
then orientating the last layer,
16
and ending off with a quick but precise permutation.
17
Voila.
18
Today I can solve the cube in about 30 seconds on average,
19
with my personal best being 9 seconds.
20
But it's not my ability to solve the cube at record speeds that is so special to me,
21
rather the spark that started it all.
22
Curiosity.
23
It's the main reason we learn in the first place.
24
And if we weren't so curious creatures,
25
we wouldn't have made the inventions that keep us happy and healthy every day,
26
like the light bulb.
27
But as time progresses on and technology continues to distract us,
28
perhaps we're becoming more and more comfortable with life and less and less curious.
29
Think about it.
30
Why would we need to learn anymore
31
if we had everything we needed to know in the palm of our very own hands?
32
But this attitude is dangerous and can lead to a less creative and less successful world.
33
We need to bring curiosity into our lives so that we can continue growing,
34
inventing and discovering for the future.
35
Let's first talk about what curiosity is,
36
what it means to us,
37
before finally learning how we can bring it about our everyday lives.
38
Some people don't understand why solving the Rubik's Cube is so much fun.
39
But that's the exact reason I do it.
40
Because curiosity is all about wanting to learn and discover things you don't know yet.
41
In fact, the BBC reported that curiosity comes from basic human nature.
42
Meaning we are born to be curious creatures.
43
And our minds have evolved to think differently and to learn and grow from experiences.
44
And sure, we may be wasting time today by searching random things up on the internet.
45
But if our brains know that it's information we will use in our future,
46
it's completely worth it.
47
Just by wanting to learn more,
48
you're already taking the first step to becoming more and more curious every day.
49
When I was younger, I didn't tell myself I was going to get into soccer,
50
football, basketball, skating, or skiing.
51
I just saw other people do it.
52
And I thought, that looks fun.
53
Could I have a try?
54
They say curiosity killed the cat,
55
but curiosity comes in handy once in a while.
56
Actually, more than not.
57
Why?
58
Because it lets us discover things we don't know that we don't know.
59
What I mean by that is you can discover things you don't know,
60
but you can also discover things that you never knew existed.
61
Nobody ever tells you to be curious.
62
Your parents and teachers are more likely to tell you other advice,
63
like talk to strangers, try new things, or never give up.
64
Curiosity comes from within.
65
You are the only person in this world that can tell yourself what to learn,
66
how to learn it, or whether to learn it at all all.
67
For example, I recently found out that Christopher Columbus didn't discover America first.
68
In fact, Leif Erikson and the Vikings may have arrived sooner,
69
and if so, almost five centuries before Columbus.
70
And many more people possibly have arrived before them.
71
My curiosity even led me to discover about how you could
72
reuse the water inside hydroelectric cars to make them more efficient vehicles.
73
Or important allied strategic maneuvers that led them to win World War II.
74
The world is huge and all of this curiosity is stretching my brain.
75
But if it means I get to be more informed
76
and especially if it means I get to share my knowledge with friends and family,
77
it's completely worth it.
78
Curiosity is the fuel for discovery and learning.
79
Curious These people ask questions,
80
and the more you ask,
81
the more you know, just like a snowball effect.
82
If you throw a snowball of questions,
83
you'll be facing an avalanche of information,
84
but it's not really a bad thing.
85
So how can all of us learn how to be a bit more curious in our everyday lives?
86
I've come up with a three-step system I'd like to share with everyone.
87
I call it age.
88
A-G-E.
89
The first letter is A.
90
For ask good questions, and in return, you'll get good answers.
91
My teacher, Miss Lum, always said that if you ask a good question,
92
you'll get a better answer.
93
Never tell your brain that your question is silly or dumb,
94
because the only way you'll know the answer is by asking for it.
95
Sometimes we stop ourselves in class from asking questions because we feel embarrassed.
96
But you might just be helping someone who is too scared to ask.
97
And don't worry, our parents and teachers are always there to guide us.
98
So we should use their help as much as possible.
99
And there's always the internet.
100
The second letter is G for go beyond.
101
Don't just learn what's required,
102
learn as much as you can beyond it.
103
When we're given a boring assignment at school,
104
we're most likely to just want to learn what's required.
105
But there is so much more information,
106
so much more perspectives, so many more details,
107
and so much more to learn about one same thing.
108
And not wanting to learn it is like throwing a perfect opportunity out the window and into the trash.
109
And while we usually do the first thing that's most obvious,
110
if you did something different,
111
draw out your ideas or brainstorm with friends.
112
It might just make learning that bit more interesting and exciting.
113
Last but not least, E, for be excited.
114
Study things that bring you joy.
115
You're only going to want to learn and remember things that you like anyway.
116
So why not enjoy studying them?
117
And don't worry, no one is ever going to stop you.
118
Because the world will never run out of information.
119
I'm only nine, but my curiosity has already paved such a long road for me.
120
When I grow up, I'd like to study medicine and become an epidemiologist.
121
I would like to find out how we could have better prevented corona,
122
how we can create a safer world,
123
and how I could become an agent of change to show the doctors of today
124
and the heroes that have sacrificed their lives for the greater good of humanity.
125
They'll know that in the future there will be people just like them,
126
willing to make such great sacrifices and their core values will never be forgotten.
127
Today, we've seen how curiosity can inspire us,
128
educate us and change us for the better.
129
We've seen how it can benefit us and how we can become more and more curious every day.
130
It's clear that because of curiosity,
131
learning is way more fun and useful than we used to think.
132
Sometimes we forget to enjoy new discoveries.
133
And that's when learning becomes challenging and boring.
134
And so to jumpstart your curious mind,
135
I challenge you to learn one new thing this week.
136
Not because you have to,
137
but because you want to.
138
Pick up a new hobby,
139
learn how something works, or even something fun,
140
like how to solve a Rubik's cube.
141
The future belongs to those who are curious.
142
Those who are not afraid to explore it,
143
touch it, feel it, taste it,
144
discover it, question it and turn it inside out.
145
Indeed, we learn more by looking for the answers to a question than learning the answers itself.
146
And so today, ladies and gentlemen,
147
boys and girls, I would like to leave you with a quote from Albert Einstein.
148
The only important thing is to not stop questioning.
149
Curiosity has its own reason for existing.
150
Thank you.

Übungstipps

Um das Beste aus dieser Lektion herauszuholen, empfehle ich, die Technik des Englisch Shadowing anzuwenden. Dies bedeutet, dass Sie den Vortrag von Ray Wu aktiv hören und gleichzeitig versuchen sollten, ihn nachzusprechen. Achten Sie auf die Geschwindigkeit und den Ton des Sprechers. Versuchen Sie, die Phrasen so genau wie möglich zu wiederholen, um Ihre Englische Aussprache zu verbessern.

Der Vortrag ist in einem klaren, aber motivierenden Stil gehalten, was es einfacher macht, den Inhalt zu verstehen. Beginnen Sie mit dem ersten Abschnitt, hören Sie aufmerksam zu und wiederholen Sie dann die Schlüsselphrasen. Nutzen Sie das Playback-Feature, um schwierige Passagen mehrmals anzuhören und Ihre Aussprache anzupassen.

Seien Sie geduldig und wechselnd zwischen Nachsprechen und eigenem Sprechen. Fragen Sie sich dabei, wie Neugierde in Ihrem eigenen Lernprozess eine Rolle spielt. Die Anwendung dieser Technik wird Ihnen helfen, nicht nur flüssiger zu sprechen, sondern auch mehr Begeisterung für das Englisch lernen mit YouTube zu entwickeln. Enthusiasmus und Neugierde sind Schlüsselfaktoren für den Erfolg beim Lernen einer Sprache.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
