1
Many of us want to start our own businesses.
2
Public space is filled with reports of new ventures.
3
But the reporting on entrepreneurship is heavily skewed in one particular direction:
4
towards people who've started new kinds of businesses ; pioneers who've pushed the boundaries of commerce by creating a wholly new offering,
5
usually through the help of some form of innovative piece of technology.
6
The new entrepreneurs might, for example, have invented an app for measuring and controlling the humidity of clothes closets,
7
or they might have come up with a tiny sensor that can detect hunger in domestic animals, or they've built a social platform to connect people planning a trip to Italy.
8
This emphasis on novelty can leave us feeling that the chief
9
and correct way to become an entrepreneur is invariably going to be through radical, technologically based innovation.
10
We may therefore, as we contemplate an entrepreneurial future, ask ourselves, with increasing panic,
11
what entirely unthought of idea we might ourselves come up with to propel us forwards.
12
In our frenzy, the answers we arrive at may start to lean towards the implausible, the trite or the naive.
13
But there is another path.
14
Most of the economy is made up of businesses doing stuff that people have always been doing, or have been doing for a very long time.
15
Making daily bread, or shirts, or trousers, teaching languages, or giving travellers a bed for the night, raising animals, or fixing teeth.
16
In other words, most businesses operate in areas that economists call 'mature', sectors where it's rather hard to come in and make a surprising fortune.
17
But that doesn't mean these sectors should be ignored.
18
Far from it.
19
There are a plethora of hugely meaningful possibilities hiding for us
20
in plain sight on account of one perhaps surprising fact about the economy.
21
A majority of businesses don't love what they do.
22
we might make a basic distinction between two kinds of businesses: pragmatic businesses, and businesses of love.
23
Pragmatic businesses are everywhere.
24
They almost define for us what we think business is in its essence.
25
They know how to make their product or service with a sound degree of competence.
26
But there is a practical, unidealistic edge to the way they go about things.
27
There isn't anything very powerful drawing them to their particular offering.
28
They might easily have been doing something else.
29
They don't care about the long term.
30
The business is only a vehicle for an underlying financial purpose.
31
One eye is always focused on how to sell up.
32
didn't have to work, they almost certainly wouldn't.
33
Such pragmatic businesses may do fine or even very well for a long time.
34
But the motivations are easy enough to spot.
35
A discerning eye can tell something crucial within minutes of walking through the door.
36
This is not being done with or full love.
37
pragmatic businesses dominate the economy.
38
One might say that over 85 % of businesses fall into this category.
39
But there are parts of the economy, and they are heavily in the minority, where things are being done rather differently.
40
Businesses of love produce many varied things, but there are some underlying principles holding them together.
41
Here, love means: a total commitment to excellence of a given product
42
or service a desire to reinvest almost all profit into guaranteeing this excellence.
43
a focus on the long term, because the business is, for its owners, the meaning of life.
44
There is no interest in selling the firm right now or perhaps ever.
45
The dearest wish might be to give it to someone you love, like your child.
46
Love means you almost do it for free and don't only because you need to live.
47
You need to pay your employees and you want the business to be able to last into the long term.
48
The product or service is what you love and you love it inordinately.
49
Businesses of love are the sort where the owner has scoured the world for the best kind of flour
50
and wakes up excitedly at dawn to check on the progress of each of the loaves.
51
Or the aircraft factory, where the workers think of every play in their building almost like a relative they will always care for.
52
Or the stationery shop, where notebooks and paper are viewed as objects of beauty rather than utility.
53
Or the travel agency that won't rest until it knows its clients have enjoyed their trips rather than just paid for them.
54
Or the sandwich store that views a fine avocado and chicken roll as one of the authentic joys in a tricky life.
55
Businesses run for love are not always successful in the standard financial sense of the term.
56
Some might just be returning a little over 3 % a year.
57
But for these enterprises, money is only ever a means to a greater, more purposeful end.
58
There are huge opportunities to hand for any would -be entrepreneurs, because most of the economy is in the hands of people who don't love what they're doing.
59
Most law firms, dentist offices, hotels and bakeries aren't in it for love.
60
They may be efficient and canny, but they are ultimately just waiting to sell up.
61
We don't need to be very original to succeed.
62
We don't need to have invented anything very new.
63
We just need to make sense of our lives and make an honest living along the way,
64
to offer the world something we love a little more intensely than most people do.

पहला प्रभाव
वीडियो में बातचीत का विषय व्यवसाय शुरू करने का है, जो न केवल प्रेरणादायक है बल्कि यह अंग्रेजी बोलने का अभ्यास करने के लिए भी उत्कृष्ट सामग्री है। संवाद में नए विचारों और दृष्टिकोणों का समावेश है, जो आपके लिए एक अच्छा प्रारंभिक बिंदु हो सकता है। यहाँ प्रस्तुत विचारों में सरलता और स्पष्टता है, जिसके माध्यम से अंग्रेजी बोलने में आत्मविश्वास बढ़ाने में मदद मिलती है।
इसे तोड़ें
इस संवाद के कुछ वाक्य इस प्रकार हैं:
- “Most of the economy is made up of businesses doing stuff that people have always been doing.” - इस वाक्य में सामान्यता और सच्चाई है, जिससे यह स्वाभाविक लगता है। यहाँ पर 'businesses' और 'doing stuff' जैसे शब्दों का प्रयोग करने से बातचीत में एक प्रवाह उत्पन्न होता है।
- “They might easily have been doing something else.” - यह वाक्य संक्षिप्त और सीधा है, जिससे विचार स्पष्ट होता है। यह सुनने में सहज लगتا है और सुनने वाले पर प्रभाव डालता है।
- “Love means: a total commitment to excellence of a given product or service.” - यहाँ 'love' शब्द का प्रयोग व्यवसाय के प्रति समर्पण को दर्शाता है, जिससे यह भावनात्मक रूप से जुड़ता है।
इन वाक्यों की प्राकृतिक ध्वनि और अर्थ को समझना आपके लिए बोलने में मददगार हो सकता है।
अभ्यास की दिनचर्या
अंग्रेजी बोलने का अभ्यास करने के लिए, आप एक सरल 'repeat-and-record' विधि का उपयोग कर सकते हैं। यहाँ एक आसान अभ्यास क्रम है:
- वीडियो के एक छोटे हिस्से को सुनें।
- उस वाक्य को दोहराएँ जो आपने सुना।
- अपनी आवाज़ रिकॉर्ड करें और सुनें कि आप कितना अच्छा कर रहे हैं।
- यदि आवश्यक हो, तो सुधार करें और फिर से रिकॉर्ड करें।
इस प्रक्रिया को जारी रखना आपको 'shadow speech' और 'shadowspeaks' जैसे तकनीकों में निपुण बनाएगा। नियमित अभ्यास से आप धीरे-धीरे अपनी अंग्रेजी में सुधार कर सकते हैं और आत्मविश्वास प्राप्त कर सकते हैं। ध्यान रखें, अंग्रेजी बोलने का अभ्यास करने के लिए लगातार प्रयास जरूरी है।
इस वीडियो का व्याकरण
वक्ता जिन संरचनाओं का सबसे अधिक प्रयोग करता है, वीडियो के असली शब्दों के साथ:
| संरचना | वीडियो में |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — पहले शुरू हुआ काम जो अब भी जारी है | have always been doing · have been doing |
| Passive voice be + past participle — ज़ोर इस पर कि क्या होता है, न कि कौन करता है | is filled · is made · should be ignored |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — बीता हुआ काम जिसका असर अभी भी है | who've started · have invented · they've built |
शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?
शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
