1
Music Thinking
2
strategically is meta -thinking.
3
It's thinking about thinking.
4
It is not responding to headlines.
5
It's not what CNN wants to talk to me about on any given day or Fox News.
6
It is instead trying to think about, for me, where the world is heading.
7
That means pattern recognition, lots of different macro themes at the country level,
8
at the company level, at the individual level,
9
and how they create trade -offs in leaders that are affected frequently by many of them,
10
but have very different priorities, needs, and timeframes.
11
It's very easy to say, okay, I just saw this headline, and I have a large amount of personal history and data,
12
and that will allow me to immediately frame what I think that means, where I should place it in my existing worldview,
13
and is there any information there that's dissonant?
14
That is completely unstrategic thinking.
15
Strategic thinking is what goes on outside of that.
16
It is how do I create my worldview?
17
What would change it?
18
What are the pieces that I prioritize?
19
What are the ones that aren't so important?
20
Why do I prioritize them that way?
21
Does that make sense today?
22
What's changed in the last 10 years or 20 years?
23
The world changes so quickly, and yet people don't revisit their worldview nearly as quickly as the world changes.
24
And yet, of course, you should revisit your worldview on a continual basis.
25
Not because you were wrong.
26
I mean, you may have been wrong.
27
But much more likely is you had some level of rightness.
28
You weren't analytically wrong.
29
The world moved.
30
And if you're not moving, you're going to become wrong.
31
I mean, any analytic view will become wrong over time.
32
And strategic thinking, I think at its base, is an effort to prevent that from happening.
33
Great strategic thinkers are curious and open.
34
They are fine with being wrong,
35
admitting that they're wrong, talking about what that means, and moving on.
36
There are also people that are very curious about different worldviews.
37
People that have respect for worldviews and opinions and analysis that are dramatically different from their own and that engage with them,
38
those are people who tend to be good strategic thinkers.
39
I don't necessarily say opposing worldviews because worldviews don't need to be opposing.
40
They just need to be different.
41
I happen to be born in the United States, and that of necessity gives me a worldview of that context.
42
But if I, same human being, happened to be born in China, would that give me an opposing worldview?
43
No, I'd be the same person.
44
I just have a different worldview.
45
People that are much more comfortable simply following folks that confirm their priors may be outstanding tactical thinkers,
46
but are not good strategic thinkers.
47
Of course, this is not easy to do.
48
I mean, it's kind of like going to the gym.
49
The first time is daunting.
50
Once you do it every morning, stopping doing it would feel daunting.
51
But you have to actually build up that training, that practice.
52
And it takes time because your brain doesn't like it when you start engaging with things that you don't agree with.
53
It finds it unnerving.
54
But if you do it enough and you start breaking down your own internal barriers to say, no, it's not that I don't like this person.
55
It's not that that opinion turns me off.
56
It's just that they come from a different story.
57
They're not villainous, right?
58
The fact that you're
59
Israeli or Palestinian doesn't make the other person wrong.
60
They're both heroes of their own stories.
61
They just have different stories.
62
If you're prepared to understand, accept, and embrace that, then you tend to be a better strategic thinker.
63
Nelson Mandela would probably be at the top of my list in terms of global strategic thinkers.
64
He is not only someone of extraordinary moral courage and personal conviction,
65
he also is someone that recognizes for the long future of his country
66
that he needed to put aside personal vendettas
67
and even the desire to mete out immediate justice in order to ensure that his country had a future.
68
He took the long view on values and ethics and human development in a way that very few political figures really do.
69
My only regret is that I never had the opportunity to meet him personally.
70
Maybe that allows me to lionize him more
71
because a lot of world leaders who I have a lot of respect for
72
that I've spent a lot of time with personally do become more humanized in ways
73
that don't always comport with how much you respect them once you've spent time with them.
74
That's not always true, but it's frequently true.

Gramática en este vídeo
Las estructuras que más usa el hablante, con las palabras exactas del vídeo:
| Estructura | En el vídeo |
|---|---|
| Voz pasiva be + participio pasado — importa lo que ocurre, no quién lo hace | are affected · be born |
| Present perfect have/has + participio pasado — una acción pasada que sigue importando ahora | I've spent · you've spent |
Pronunciación a tener en cuenta
El hablante usa 20 contracciones y formas reducidas, como don't, they're, doesn't. Dilas en su forma corta, tal como las oyes.
- Los sonidos de “th”: ethics /ˈɛθ.ɪks/, thinker /ˈθɪŋ.kɚ/
- Los sonidos de “sh” y “zh”: recognition /ˌɹɛkəɡˈnɪʃ(ə)n/, conviction /kənˈvɪkʃən/
- Palabras largas — cuida el acento: necessarily /ˌnɛs.əˈsɛɹ.ə.li/, recognition /ˌɹɛkəɡˈnɪʃ(ə)n/, priority /pɹaɪˈɒɹɪti/, extraordinary /ɪksˈtɹɔːrdɪn(ə)ɹi/, necessity /nɪˈsɛsəti/
Sonidos difíciles para hispanohablantes:
- /v/ — no es /b/: los dientes tocan el labio inferior: conviction /kənˈvɪkʃən/, revisit /ɹiːˈvɪzɪt/, unnerve /ʌnˈnɜː(ɹ)v/, vendetta /vɛnˈdɛtə/, villainous /ˈvɪlənəs/
- /z/ — sonora, no /s/: oppose /əˈpoʊz/, prioritize /pɹaɪˈɒɹ.ə.taɪz/, revisit /ɹiːˈvɪzɪt/, humanize /ˈhjuː.mə.naɪz/, lionize /ˈlaɪənaɪz/
- /dʒ/ — no es la “y” ni la “ch”: strategic /stɹəˈti.dʒɪk/, engage /ɪnˈɡeɪd͡ʒ/, courage /ˈkʌ.ɹɪd͡ʒ/
Cómo practicar con este vídeo
- Escucha el vídeo entero una vez sin hablar y anota las palabras que no conoces.
- Haz shadowing frase por frase a velocidad normal, repitiendo cada una hasta que tu ritmo coincida con el del hablante.
- Grábate y compara con el original, prestando atención a palabras como strategic, oppose, curious.
¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
