पाठ बनाया जा रहा है...
1
You assume if you work that you're banking the consequences of your work in the future.
2
You're making a contract with the future.
3
The contract is if I give up my hedonic self -gratification in the present and I invest, let's say, that that will pay off.
4
You want to set up your society so that your sacrificial offerings are banked and stored.
5
The best way to do that, by the way, is not in money but in reputation.
6
The best storehouse of wealth for sacrifice is in your reputation for generosity,
7
hospitality, and productive self -sacrifice.
8
If people think highly of you, genuinely, then you're protected against every storm in a way that nothing else can protect you.

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।
