1
I think a lot of anxiety and pain actually come from the fact
2
that we all want the benefits of a choice without accepting the downside that comes with it.
3
You know, trade -offs are unavoidable.
4
A few months ago, I delivered a lecture at a local college
5
and a student came up to me and asked a question.
6
She said, are there any high paying jobs that are close to home
7
that don't offer too much work and that offer me less stress and give me some control over my free time?
8
well i think you are a perfectionist
9
and i said that's an impossible triangle you know high paying
10
jobs are usually associated with greater responsibility longer hours more stress
11
and of course a lot of complexities of human nature
12
if you move up a corporate ladder become a senior manager
13
you will face a lot of headaches you probably see lawyers working about 15 hours every day in the office
14
and investment bankers work about 100 hours every week in order to generate revenues, right?
15
But if you prefer slower life and live close to your parents in a small town, you have to tolerate the trade -offs like fewer job opportunities,
16
fewer professional connections, and slower income growth.
17
That's the cost you have to pay for that choice, right?
18
Another example is being a civil servant.
19
Some young people pass the fierce competition to become a civil
20
servant in china working for the bureaucratic organization like governments your
21
family probably want you to become part of the system in
22
order to get stability right you don't need to worry about your pension funds
23
but once they get into the system they complain about hierarchical structures
24
and strict rules
25
and lack of personal flexibility you have to be really careful about the things you say
26
and sometimes you have to deal with politics power struggles that's the price you have to pay for a stable job.
27
This also reminded me of a private message I received from a follower.
28
She wanted to have a gap year by staying at home with her parents, but her parents were always criticizing her for not getting a job,
29
relying on family's financial support.
30
So my response would be, if you know that your parents are not satisfied with your choice and you want to stay at home,
31
you probably have to tolerate their behaviors, right?
32
You have to tolerate their criticisms.
33
If you don't want to confront your complaints and you want them to shut up and respect you, then try to find a way to move out and become financially independent.
34
So the choices in front of you are quite clear.
35
You cannot have both loving parents and easy financial support at the same time?
36
This is unrealistic, right?
37
We have to remember that every lifestyle has a price.
38
In economics, it's often called an opportunity cost.
39
If you want to gain something, you have to give up something else.
40
You cannot optimize everything at the same time.
41
And a decision with no downsides cannot be defined as a decision.
42
It's just pure wish or hope.
43
Only scammers will offer you perfect choices that are too perfect to be true.
44
I think young people can combine idealism and realism.
45
We can call ourselves idealistic realists.
46
So mature thinking is not about getting all the benefits without giving anything up.
47
It's about asking yourself a deep fundamental question.
48
What matters most to me?
49
And what am I willing to give up for it?
50
And you know, there's no perfect choice no perfect path you always have to analyze your cost of benefits
51
and the prices you have to pay for a particular choice
52
so ask yourself which price is worth paying for the life I want.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
