Pratique du Shadowing: Success Is Hard Until You Build Systems Like This - Apprendre l'anglais à l'oral avec la vidéo
Création de la leçon...
1
Most people think success is about discipline or working more hours.
2
And sure, they will get you to the top 10%.
3
but to reach the top 1 % The rules are completely different.
4
I was once homeless and I thought I was a failure.
5
Today, I'm a multimillionaire, investor, board member, advisor, two billion dollar tech companies.
6
I didn't get there by working harder, but by designing systems that did the hard work for me.
7
instead of giving you motivational fluff.
8
I'm going to share five simple principles to finally do the hard things you've been avoiding.
9
Principle number one: You need to trap yourself.
10
In 1519, the Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes landed on the shores of Mexico.
11
With just a few hundred men.
12
They were there to conquer the Aztec Empire.
13
Now, they were outnumbered.
14
in an unknown land, facing impossible odds.
15
Now, guess what he did to make sure his troops had no option but to win?
16
Cortez ordered them to sink the ships.
17
There was no going back, no retreat.
18
no surrender.
19
That's exactly what we need to do in our lives.
20
Because when you don't have a plan B, you will find a way to make plan A work.
21
I learned that lesson in my career
22
when I was the chief operating officer at a large company and we acquired a new company.
23
And it was an adjacent business with an attractive revenue stream, and several hundreds of employees joined us, and they had a terrific management team.
24
But, they were in a different city and there were no direct flights from New York.
25
So I wasn't sure if I was going to travel there much.
26
But when you acquire a company, you have to put in a lot of time and effort to integrate the two companies.
27
people, culture, systems, product, customers, all of that has to come together.
28
And I remember my CEO putting his hand on my shoulder and saying just two lines: "Okay man, I'm not going there, you own it." And that was it.
29
And at that moment, the whole idea of traveling there every week didn't seem like a chore or a choice.
30
That became my plan A.
31
And there was no plan B.
32
We had to make the deal work, we had to make the integration successful.
33
And that required me to pay full attention
34
to the acquired company because my CEO was going to work on a larger picture.
35
And he trusted me fully to take care of our new employees and make sure we became one company.
36
In behavioral design, these are called forcing functions.
37
The constraints that corner you and force you into growth.
38
Here are the four forcing functions you can set for yourself.
39
First, public commitment.
40
Tell people what you're going to do.
41
Announce it.
42
Social pressure is one of the oldest motivators on earth.
43
Second, financial stakes.
44
Pay before you feel ready.
45
Like putting money down on that gym membership or that training course that you always wanted to take.
46
Our example of that acquisition was a financial stake.
47
We spent a lot of money.
48
We had to make it successful.
49
Third, cut the access.
50
Delete the app.
51
Block the site.
52
If things that distract you aren't available easily, it becomes a forcing thing function itself.
53
And fourth, time box.
54
Give the task a hard window.
55
90 minutes ship something at the end of it.
56
You know when retreat is not an option, hard things that seemed impenetrable first become inevitable.
57
This lets you overcome one thing everybody blames when they can't stay consistent.
58
That's when principle number two comes into play.
59
Do you know what that is?
60
It's willpower.
61
We've all had those days.
62
It's 8 :00 a .m and you feel like it's gonna be an amazing day.
63
You're gonna get so much done today.
64
And then it's 8 :00 p .m and you've renegotiated almost everything from your list.
65
And you feel like you have failed, but you haven't.
66
That's just how our brains work.
67
Yours and mine.
68
One of the world's leading willpower researchers, Roy Baumeister, ran a study that literally flipped the idea of discipline on its head, for me at least.
69
He brought people into his lap and put fresh baked cookies in front of them.
70
Now half of them we're told not to eat them.
71
Don't touch it.
72
The other half wasn't told anything.
73
And after a while, Some of them ate cookies, some of them didn't.
74
Both groups were given a set of impossible puzzles to solve.
75
And now you're gonna say, of course, I know where this story is going.
76
those with the willpower did better.
77
But that's the twist.
78
Those who resisted eating cookies gave up on puzzles 50 % faster.
79
Now, that completely surprised me too.
80
But there is an explanation: Our willpower isn't infinite,
81
it's like a fuel tank every decision you make and every distraction you fight ends up draining that tank.
82
So, by evening.
83
The tank's gonna be empty.
84
That's why you feel like you failed not having willpower is not a sign of failure or weakness.
85
It's just biology.
86
Judges deny parole more often in the afternoon than in the morning.
87
Same cases, same type of facts, but they're mental fuel is depleting.
88
We keep trying to solve a biological problem with vague solutions like willpower.
89
Noah Lyles is the world's fastest man right now.
90
Now, he doesn't chase willpower or discipline, he engineers it.
91
How?
92
Well, he has ADHD.
93
So he doesn't trust willpower.
94
He trusts his internal rhythm six days a week.
95
Same track same playlist, same warmup, same bodily movement.
96
When the gun goes off, he says, "I'm not thinking." My body already knows what to do.
97
That's not discipline.
98
That's Design.
99
He's not fighting biology, he's using it.
100
When the margin between a gold medal and a silver is just 1 /500th of a second, those routines give him the edge.
101
So why not use the same logic to your advantage.
102
Pick one task that you've been avoiding for a while
103
or the task that has been avoiding you for a while and lock the three variables Time, place, and trigger.
104
Let's say it's deep work that you want to do.
105
And it's always 9am on Thursday.
106
And so at 9 :00 a .m on Thursday, on your deep work day, show up at the same desk.
107
Same playlist.
108
Phone on airplane mode.
109
No Slack, no email.
110
Now, You're on autopilot.
111
That sounds terribly simple, right?
112
That's the point.
113
simple systems are the hardest to break the more you force yourself into these kind of rhythms, the less.
114
You have to rely on willpower anymore.
115
Instead, you'll be able to take advantage of your mental algorithm.
116
A psychologist at NYU, Peter Galwitzer, studied students who were trying to exercise over Christmas break.
117
And he did something very interesting.
118
He divided them into two groups.
119
One group was told to set goals like, "I want to work out more." and the other group was given something like an if -then plan.
120
So if x do y.
121
If it's Monday at 7 a .m., than you were at the gym.
122
Both teams had the same motivation.
123
but two different instructions.
124
And the results were so surprising.
125
The goal -setters failed 62 % of the time.
126
But the if -then planners only fail 9 % of the time.
127
That's just how our mental algorithms work.
128
If x then why?
129
If this happens, do that.
130
It's a simple but powerful system that changes your behavior.
131
We avoid hard things because what we're really trying to avoid is the emotion that comes from it, the frustration, the doubt discomfort,
132
the uneasy feeling, the imposter syndrome.
133
So your brain starts bargaining with you.
134
Let's skip this just just for today.
135
You know, promise.
136
Tomorrow, we'll do it twice.
137
It doesn't work, does it?
138
The fix, run the algorithm.
139
Why?
140
Because the if -then algorithm helps you see those emotional bar gains as just data signals.
141
You take out the drama, you take out the debate, And in your head, you just run the code.
142
If it's 3 :00 p .m.
143
Thursday, your deep work starts.
144
If you had lunch, you walked for 15 minutes.
145
If it's Friday afternoon, You review your week.
146
If it's Sunday night, plan for the next week.
147
Whatever it is that you want to program in your if -then algorithm, you can do it and then execute.
148
take out the debate.
149
But here's what most people don't realize: Even with all these systems in place, there's one
150
step that makes everything stick to outsource your decisions.
151
Atul Gawande is a famous surgeon, and he was curious about surgical errors.
152
While he was doing his research, he found something very disturbing, that world -class surgeons were making so many mistakes, they were totally preventable.
153
They knew better, but somehow under pressure, their performance was uneven.
154
So he worked with the World Health Organization, step surgical checklist and you'll think the list would be like super technical, right?
155
It had the simplest things.
156
like confirm the patient's identity first, Make sure all the antibiotics are given.
157
Make sure that the right leg to operate on is marked so you don't chop off the left leg.
158
That kind of stuff.
159
Now, you think, "Wait, this is so elementary." But when the hospitals put this simple system of checklists into practice,
160
post -surgical complications fell by 36 % and deaths dropped by 47%.
161
Same surgeons.
162
Same skills.
163
Just a simple checklist as a safety net, when their cognitive load was peaking.
164
That's the power of the system working for you.
165
And the paradox here is that the better you get at mastering something, the more structured the systems, you will have to rely on.
166
Checklists aren't just for beginners.
167
They are for experts.
168
especially experts who do hard things.
169
That's why pilots with 10 ,000 hours of flying still read the same checklist every single flight.
170
Not because they forgot how to fly, but because they don't trust their own memory.
171
under pressure.
172
So no matter what level of expertise you're at, you can use checklists to become more effective.
173
The three checklists I love making in my life to -do list the to want list, and to be list.
174
The to -do list is about execution.
175
the "To Want" list is about expansion.
176
and the "to be" list is about personal evolution.
177
These checklists aren't about creating bureaucracy.
178
They are about creating bandwidth for your brain so it can focus on what must be done on the hard things.
179
If your craft matters to you, and if your career matters to you, and you take pride in doing hard things,
180
then the easiest way to keep track of what you want to do is your checklist.
181
But even with the simplest system like Checklist, there is still one problem.
182
What happens if your brain tries to bypass the system entirely?
183
Which brings me to principle number five.
184
You have to become the system.
185
I've seen great musicians and great leaders and great spiritual masters and they all have this one thing in common.
186
the individuals perfectly in rhythm.
187
Now these monks weren't trying to focus or they weren't trying to motivate themselves.
188
And they were obviously not trying to synchronize their brain waves.
189
But their nervous system over time had evolved into developing that pattern years of repetition.
190
had given rise to this beautiful resonance and they didn't need motivation to do it.
191
So what's the secret that these monks can teach us?
192
Motivation doesn't drive repetition.
193
Repetition drives motivation.
194
When your brain can predict the cadence starts craving the cue.
195
Over time you don't have to push yourself every day your biology starts to pull you forward.
196
That's how your brain lights up.
197
And that's how you become the person who does the hard things over and over again.
198
But it almost seems effortless.
199
Now, It is not effortless.
200
That's just a myth.
201
When you see someone like Roger Federer doing
202
that perfect serve, It seems effortless but he has put in thousands and thousands and thousands of reps over countless years,
203
day after day, night after night.
204
But our brain over time starts following those patterns.
205
And once the pattern takes over, Your brain stops chasing the reward, it starts craving the repetition itself.
206
So tonight, Don't just try to change your entire life.
207
Design one tiny rule that changes your tomorrow.
208
Build the right systems and those systems will build the right you.

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.
