1
You are on a racetrack.
2
The crowd is so loud, the lights are blinding.
3
And you are running.
4
To everyone watching, you are in the lead.
5
Your stride looks great.
6
And time is going to be a personal best.
7
But inside, something feels off.
8
Because this is not just a race for position.
9
This is a conflict between two versions of yourself.
10
One that the world praises and applauds.
11
And the other that is quietly asking, is this really me?
12
When I was younger, I thought success meant becoming the perfect version of me as the world saw me.
13
So, I learned how to perform,
14
how to say the right things,
15
how to say things to please people,
16
how to move to be admired.
17
Looking back, I wasn't just running.
18
I was becoming a show horse.
19
Now you might ask, what is a show horse?
20
A show horse is trained to perform.
21
It's trained to respond on cue.
22
It's trained to move beautifully as long as someone else is watching and judging.
23
But then, as I got older,
24
I stepped onto a bigger track.
25
One that looking perfect wasn't good enough.
26
I needed to be faster.
27
That's when I became a racehorse.
28
Running harder, faster, constantly trying to stay ahead.
29
But here's what I didn't realize at the time.
30
Sure, a racehorse runs fast,
31
but it doesn't choose its direction.
32
and somewhere between performing and chasing,
33
I realized I started to lose something.
34
Not my ability, not my ambition,
35
but my sense of direction.
36
Have you ever stopped and asked yourself,
37
if no one was watching,
38
would I still be running this race?
39
Now, there is another way to run.
40
Not as a racehorse, not as a showhorse,
41
but it's something far less predictable as a dark horse.
42
A dark horse doesn't run for applause.
43
It doesn't run on a fast, fixed lane.
44
A dark horse runs for its own rhythm.
45
A rhythm that only appears when you stop asking for permission to move.
46
I remember the moment that was my turning point, if you will.
47
the moment that everything changed.
48
When I was in college,
49
I got a test grade back.
50
I felt instant dread, my stomach dropped.
51
I failed that test.
52
I got a 40 out of 100.
53
Looking at it, it looked like a failure, a big mistake.
54
something I needed to fix,
55
how I needed to do better.
56
But the truth was, it wasn't just a result on a test.
57
I was looking in a mirror.
58
Because for the first time in my life,
59
I wasn't the student that people looked up to.
60
I wasn't the student people expected me to be.
61
And to be honest, I wasn't impressive.
62
And I didn't know what to do without that,
63
because I built my identity by being seen in a certain way,
64
being capable, being excellent, being right.
65
And then I realized something.
66
I wasn't trying to just succeed.
67
I was trying to be approved by everyone else but me.
68
When your goal is approval,
69
you don't choose what matters to you.
70
You choose what you know will be accepted.
71
I'm going to say that again so you really hear me.
72
When your goal is approval,
73
you don't choose what matters to you.
74
You choose what you know will be accepted.
75
But it's my life.
76
Why would I not choose what matters to me?
77
Why would I choose what everyone else wants?
78
Looking at that grade, I thought I had lost my standard.
79
But what I had actually lost was my performance.
80
That number didn't expose a weakness.
81
It exposed a dependence.
82
Because for years, I had spent time becoming a perfect show horse.
83
And for the first time,
84
I had to answer a question that I've been avoiding my entire life.
85
If I'm not impressive, then who am I?
86
After that moment, I thought I would stop.
87
Stop performing.
88
Stop pretending.
89
Stop trying to be perfect.
90
But I didn't.
91
I couldn't.
92
It was ingrained in me.
93
I spent years doing it.
94
So, I just changed the way I ran.
95
Instead of trying to look impressive,
96
I started trying to prove that I was still good enough.
97
I am still worthy.
98
I stepped onto a different kind of track.
99
A track that rewards speed, results, achievements.
100
And without realizing it, I became a racehorse.
101
I ran harder.
102
I chased better grades, more titles, more achievements.
103
Because I needed the validation and to confirm that I was still worthy.
104
I am still good enough despite my failures.
105
And that's the track.
106
The excellent track.
107
because the system rewards you for it.
108
When you run fast, people cheer.
109
When you achieve more, people notice.
110
And when you stay ahead, people admire you.
111
So you keep going, running faster, further.
112
You do not stop.
113
But here's what I didn't question and no one questions.
114
Sure, a racehorse runs fast,
115
but it doesn't choose where it's going.
116
The owner has the direction.
117
The track is already determined.
118
The pace is already set.
119
Someone else is always holding the reins.
120
So even when you're winning,
121
you might be lost without the owner.
122
Because you're not asking, is this where I want to go?
123
The only question you're asking, am I ahead?
124
That's what the Excellent Trap really is.
125
It's not about excellence.
126
It's about becoming so focused on approval that you stop choosing your own direction.
127
And the most dangerous part of that is you don't feel lost.
128
You feel successful.
129
At some point I had to stop and ask a different question
130
Not how do I win But why am I running at all?
131
Because for the first time I realized I've never actually chosen my own direction
132
And this is when I began to understand what a dark horse really is
133
It is not someone less capable It is not someone who runs slower It is someone who decides first and proves later.
134
It doesn't need to be certain and it doesn't need to be sure.
135
It doesn't need to be validated.
136
It just needs to be honest about what matters.
137
Because let me tell you something, something I've learned.
138
Honesty is so much harder than a performance.
139
Because when you stop asking for permission, you lose the script.
140
No one holds your hand.
141
No one tells you what's right no one guarantees the outcome.
142
You have to.
143
You have to choose.
144
For me, that choice became a project.
145
My advocacy.
146
Courage over cancer.
147
And I want to be very clear.
148
I didn't choose this because it looked good on my resume.
149
It looked good on paper.
150
I didn't choose it because I get graded on it because I knew it looked good.
151
I chose it because it was mine.
152
I knew what I was doing.
153
I knew why I wanted it and that was new because for the first time I wasn't a show horse.
154
I stepped off the racetrack.
155
I was no longer a racehorse not because I was confident.
156
I can guarantee you I wasn't very scared but because I was finally willing to be uncertain.
157
That's what becoming a dark horse really is.
158
It means choosing a direction before you know if you'll be rewarded or if you'll succeed.
159
That journey
160
that long journey i was on led me somewhere very unexpected
161
on a stage a little bit bigger than the one i'm
162
on right now just a little bit it led me to the stage of miss cosmo 2025
163
to the crown also of my cosmo 2025
164
but it wasn't easy getting there to everyone looking into outsiders i crossed the finish line i did it all
165
that hard work all that dedication the effort the years of running
166
but for me it meant something very different
167
because the real question is not how i got the crown the real question was who did i become
168
while getting there because i've seen it before people cross the finish line
169
but they lose themselves in the process they succeed they win But they don't know who they are anymore after winning.
170
And I knew one thing for certain when I was competing.
171
If I had to put on a mask or a persona,
172
I would not be the same person I was behind that microphone.
173
I would not be the same person I am right now behind this microphone.
174
So I made a decision,
175
not about how to win,
176
but how to stay real.
177
I didn't treat my crown as a reward,
178
but as a responsibility, a platform to carry a message that I had learned the hard way.
179
Your power does not come from a title you hold.
180
Your power comes from the truth that you failed,
181
that you keep on, refuse to abandon to get there.
182
Your power does not come from a tile you hold.
183
It comes from the truth.
184
You refuse to abandon to get there.
185
And that is what Beyond the Crown really means.
186
It means the crown is not the destination, but a test.
187
A test to ensure that you can be in the spotlight without performing,
188
without chasing approval, without losing your rhythm.
189
Because it's easy to be authentic when you're alone, when no one's watching.
190
The real challenge is, can you stay authentic when everyone is watching?
191
So, as I leave you here today,
192
I don't want you to remember my story.
193
I want you to recognize, acknowledge your own.
194
Because at any point in your life,
195
you've been one of three horses.
196
Are you a show horse?
197
Constantly seeking approval, applause from everyone around you.
198
Or you might be a racehorse,
199
running faster, harder, always trying to stay ahead,
200
but failing to see that you're not falling behind.
201
And from the outside, yeah,
202
they both look like success.
203
You're doing great to everyone watching.
204
But here's the question people never ask.
205
Are you choosing your direction or are you choosing the speed?
206
Because we are trained to choose speed,
207
to graduate early, to succeed early, to stay ahead.
208
So we keep moving fast,
209
not really because we want to,
210
not because it's right, but because it's expected of us.
211
Fast is external.
212
It's driven by comparison, by pressure,
213
by the need to be validated.
214
But right is internal.
215
And sometimes choosing what's right doesn't look impressive at all.
216
To some eyes, it looks like you've slowed down.
217
You're falling behind, but you're not.
218
You're choosing your direction before your speed.
219
And that's what you become when you begin to become a dark horse.
220
Not because you are finally different,
221
but because you are finally making decisions that don't need to be approved first.
222
So, before you run fast,
223
before you chase the next goal,
224
pause for a moment and ask yourself,
225
If no one sees this,
226
would I still do it?
227
Am I chasing speed or am I chasing direction?
228
And is this decision truly mine or is it just something that I have learned to perform?
229
Because that finish line, crossing over, belongs to everyone.
230
But your direction is the only thing that is ever truly yours.
231
So, in the year of the horse,
232
choose your horse, choose your direction.
233
I am Yolena Lindquist, Miss Cosmo 2025,
234
and I am proud to be a dark horse.

इस वीडियो के साथ बोलने का अभ्यास क्यों करें?
इस वीडियो में, Yolina Lindquist हमारे सामने एक महत्वपूर्ण विषय प्रस्तुत करती हैं: एक "डार्क हॉर्स" बनने का साहस। यह वीडियो हमें आत्म-प्रतिबिंब के लिए आमंत्रित करता है, जहाँ हम अपनी आकांक्षाओं और समाज की अपेक्षाओं के बीच के संघर्ष को समझ सकते हैं। जब आप इस वीडियो को देखते हैं, तो इसका एक प्रमुख लाभ यह है कि आप अपनी बोलने की क्षमताओं को सुधार सकते हैं। वीडियो का शब्द और उच्चारण आपके लिए अंग्रेजी बोलने का अभ्यास करने का एक अद्वितीय अवसर है। इस संदर्भ में अंग्रेजी शैडोइंग जैसी तकनीकें आपके विकास में मदद करती हैं।
व्याकरण और अभिव्यक्तियाँ संदर्भ में
- “Are you running this race?” - यह एक सवाल पूछने का तरीका है जो प्रतिबिंब के लिए प्रोत्साहित करता है।
- “It’s a conflict between two versions of yourself.” - यहाँ 'versions' का उपयोग हमको अपने विभिन्न पहलुओं को समझने में मदद करता है।
- “A dark horse runs for its own rhythm.” - यह अभिव्यक्ति हमें आत्म-निर्णय और आत्म-संवेदनता की महत्वपूर्णता के बारे में बताती है।
इन संरचनाओं का अभ्यास करते हुए, आप न केवल अपना व्याकरण सुधार सकते हैं, बल्कि आप उनकी अंतर्दृष्टि से भी प्रेरित हो सकते हैं। साथ ही, shadow speech का उपयोग करते हुए, आप अपने उच्चारण और प्रवाह में सुधार कर सकते हैं।
सामान्य उच्चारण के जाल
वीडियो में कुछ कठिन शब्द और उच्चारण हैं जो छात्रों के लिए चुनौतीपूर्ण हो सकते हैं:
- “Dread” - इसका उच्चारण कुछ छात्रों को परेशान कर सकता है। इसे ध्यान से सुनें और फिर से दोहराने का प्रयास करें।
- “Rhythm” - इसे सही ढंग से बोलने के लिए अभ्यास करें क्योंकि यह छाया भाषण का हिस्सा हो सकता है।
- “Applause” - यहाँ भी सही उच्चारण जरूरी है। इसे अपने दैनिक अभ्यास में शामिल करें।
इन शब्दों का सही उच्चारण जानकर, आप अपनी shadowspeaks कौशल को बेहतर बना सकते हैं। इस प्रकार, अंग्रेजी बोलने का अभ्यास करती समय इन शब्दों पर जोर दें और स्वयं का विकास करें।
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।
