1
Define success for yourself.
2
You already like that one?
3
Define success for yourself.
4
Now check this out.
5
I'm in South of New Orleans a few years ago and I went to a voodoo shop.
6
And they had this wooden partition against the wall of these columns.
7
And in these columns were all these vials of these magic potions, right?
8
And the headings above each potion defining what they would give you were things like fertility,
9
health, family, legal health, energy, forgiveness, money.
10
Guess which column was empty?
11
Money.
12
Let's admit it.
13
Money is king today.
14
It's what makes the world go round.
15
It is success.
16
The more we have, the more successful we are, right?
17
Now, I would argue that our cultural values have even been financialized.
18
Financialized.
19
Humility is not in vogue anymore.
20
It's too passive.
21
It's a get -rich -quick -on -the -internet -richest -fifteen -minutes -of -fame world that we live in, and we see it every day.
22
But we all want to succeed, right?
23
So the question that we've got to ask ourselves is, what success is to us?
24
What success is to you?
25
Is it more money?
26
That's fine.
27
I got nothing against money.
28
I don't.
29
Maybe it's a healthy family.
30
Maybe it's a happy marriage.
31
Maybe it's to help others, to be famous, to be spiritually sound, to leave the world a little bit better place than you found it.
32
Continue to ask yourself that question.
33
Now, your answer may change over time, and that's fine.
34
But do yourself this favor.
35
Whatever your answer is, don't choose anything that will jeopardize your soul.
36
Prioritize who you are, who you want to be, and don't spend time with anything that antagonizes your character.
37
Don't drink the Kool -Aid, man.
38
It tastes sweet, but you will get cavities tomorrow.
39
Life is not a popularity contest.
40
Be brave, take the hill, but first answer that question, what's my hill?
41
So, me, how do I define success for me, myself?
42
Well, for me, it's a measurement of five things.
43
We got fatherhood, we got being a good husband, we got my health, mind, body and spirit, we got career and we got friendships.
44
These are what's important to me in my life right now.
45
So I try to measure these five things each day.
46
I check in with them.
47
I like to see whether or not I'm in the debit section or the credit section with each one.
48
Am I in the red or am I in the black?
49
You follow?
50
For instance, sometimes say my career is rolling.
51
All right, it's way up here in the black, but I see how my relationship with my wife maybe could use a little bit more of my attention.
52
I got to pick up the slack on being a better husband.
53
Get that one out of the red.
54
Or say my spiritual health could use some maintenance.
55
It's down here, but hey, man, my friendships and my social life, they're in high gear, right?
56
I got to recalibrate.
57
checks and balances.
58
I got to go to church.
59
Remember to say thank you more often, something.
60
But I got to take the tally because I want to keep all five in healthy shape.
61
And I know that if I don't take care of them, if I don't keep up maintenance on them, one of them is going to get weak, man.
62
It's going to dip too deep into the debit section.
63
It's going to go bankrupt.
64
It's gonna get sick, die even.
65
So first, we have to define success for ourselves.
66
And then, we have to put in the work to maintain it.
67
Take that daily tally.
68
Tend our garden.
69
Keep the things that are important to us in good shape.
70
I mean, let's admit it.
71
We've all got two wolves in us.
72
A good one and a bad one.
73
And they both wanna eat.
74
The best I can tell, we just gotta feed that good one a little more than the other one.
75
If you're gonna do it, do it.
76
say what you can do do what you say you can't
77
do it don't say you can do it don't over leverage yourself don't over leverage the decision
78
and then jump in
79
and kind of dip a toe i think i'll try it out no think
80
if you're going to try it out beforehand but when it's time to go dive
81
finish it find out come out the other side don't leave it and go
82
if i just would uh -uh
83
that keeps me up at night i think it keeps a lot of us up at night
84
when you half -ass something and you just don't know whether you failed or succeeded, got what you want or didn't get what you want, finding out and looking in the mirror and going,
85
I didn't half -ass it.
86
I went all the way.
87
I found out.
88
And that ain't for me.
89
Or I found out and you're damn right that is for me.
90
That's a great place to get to.

इस वीडियो से अभ्यास कैसे करें

  1. पहले बिना बोले पूरा वीडियो एक बार सुनें और जो शब्द नहीं आते उन्हें लिख लें।
  2. 0.75× गति से शुरू करें, एक-एक वाक्य की शैडोइंग करें, और सहज लगने पर सामान्य गति पर लौटें।
  3. अपनी आवाज़ रिकॉर्ड करें और मूल से तुलना करें, ख़ासकर potion, fatherhood, humility जैसे शब्दों पर ध्यान दें।

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।
