I was thinking this morning about a conversation I had with my grandfather.

This particular example, I was living in LA at the time, my grandmother, my grandfather, they flew in from Boston

and you know I think we're doing some family stuff

but I wanted to hang out with my friends down the street right I wanted to go to Kyle's house, play Star Wars, whatever it was we were doing and that felt like the world to me.

Like I didn't want to miss out on that because I felt like I'd lose it.

If I wasn't there I'd lose something

and I remember him taking me from the kitchen to the

living room being like Eddie you have to relax he's like

that stuff I promise you will always be there the fun

the escape the metaphorical going to Kyle's house will always be there you have to do what's right for you

and then when you need that it's there it was almost like all the nuance

and the detail is reacquirable and why I'm bringing this up and And it's a little bit of a pivot, but I've seen throughout my life,

personally, this sort of loss aversion, like I mentioned a few days ago,

where you don't want to leave a bad situation because you fear that the very basic boxes that you've checked, you can't get them back.

It's like you can have a job that you're not satisfied, you're unfulfilled, there's nothing great about it.

You've lost your sense of self, your purpose, but you're getting a paycheck, right?

Or, you know, at least you have some direction in the day or in your life.

You can say who you are.

There's some identity.

There's some very basic boxes.

You're not happy, but the basic boxes are checked.

And what you fear is if you leave in pursuit of something different, maybe you can't check those boxes again, right?

Or you're in a relationship and it's like, it's not right

and you know in your core it's not right

but there's very basic boxes

that are checked right you're not alone you're with someone there's

some predictability in your life like it'd be tough to lose those things and

so that's really the essence of what I want to say right having the self -belief in the self -trust

because that's really what it comes down to to understanding that if you move into the unknown, you can recreate those things.

You can check those basic boxes off.

But if you don't have the courage to move out of that situation, you'll be shackled to a world that's not really meant for you.

Right?

So like the job thing.

And by the way, I always worry about saying this because there are people that love their jobs.

I'm never ever knocking a nine to five.

Like it's just my thing, right?

That was for me.

I felt so constrained and I'm just such a, like I love to be creating and sort of out on the fringes.

That's just like what motivates me.

That's not how everyone works.

So I don't want this to be interpreted as me bashing a nine to five.

It's just my story.

But like I, I realized that I could have walked away

come back in a year after living in Thailand and things would have been exactly the same when I got back.

I could have got a similar job, I could have found ways to check off those same boxes.

Those foundational things, they're reacquirable.

Just like the relationship thing.

It's like if it's not right for you, there's eight billion people in the world.

Eight billion.

You think one of those doesn't share your value system, one of those you can have fun with, hang out with, relax, enjoy yourself, improve your life.

Like, of course you can.

But you're worried about losing the very basics, the very basic boxes that you've checked.

And it's like you have to have the courage and self -belief to walk away from those things.

You have to believe in yourself enough to know that you can recreate a reality, right?

With a similar foundation but with the things on top of that that make you happy, make you feel alive.

Like I'm prone to do, I found a random internet quote today.

It says, I am learning to love the sound of my feet walking away from things that are not meant for me.

And it's that simple.

You can never get where you're going if you're shackled to the things that don't move you.

If you're staying in a place of discontent

And the message is simple right believe in yourself trust yourself There's nothing in your life that you can't reacquire or rebuild

But what you'll miss if you stay in

that place is the opportunity the upside the people that will change your life the places

That you've never seen the experiences the journeys that Thank you make life worth living.

The upside is just too high.

Commit.

The only limit to your impact is your imagination and your commitment.

The fence is for losers.

Right?

That's a harsh way to put it, but that's the reality is things get better when you look at life from a binary standpoint.

You either want it or you don't.

And if you want it, why wouldn't you go all in?

And if you don't, why would you touch it?

I can't tell you how many times I've been, you know, one toe in the water and it's like, why?

Do you want this or not?

First time I heard this freshman year in college.

And it was one of those things where I always thought I worked hard, you know, I always kind of jumped into what I was doing

and I wanted to get good grades and I invested in what I did.

But I realized that I didn't quite grasp what it meant.

And I walk up to the student center and I'm looking around

and there's a flyer and it says Holy Cross D1 Men's Rowing.

And I'm like, yes, this is perfect.

You know, I can make friends with like -minded people, you know, stay in shape.

This is amazing and I go up and there are 73 people there walk -ons

And what I didn't realize at the time was that they don't make cuts

Quit or you don't senior year when we graduated four walk -ons were left

And we always joke about it because

It's not like we were far more talented or we had this superior skill set we just committed to the process.

We committed to the ups and the downs and the trials and the tribulations and the difficulty.

One of my first practices, you guys know what a rowing machine is?

The thing in the gym you sit down and you pull?

Pretty straightforward.

You pull, it tells you exactly how hard you pull.

That's it.

And so I'm sitting there, we're doing five sprints, 2 ,000 meter sprints, and I'm suffering, you know, just going the world of hurt.

And after the second one I get up and I go to the bathroom, I'm throwing up, I have a headache, I'm dizzy, and just feeling so sorry for myself.

I'd never experienced anything like that before, this is all new to me.

And eventually I get it together and I go down, I sit on the erg, you know, feeling like a hero.

It's like, alright, I'm back.

100

And I sit down, grab the thing, and the coach walks up next to me.

101

He goes, it's Eddie, right?

102

Yeah, it's Eddie.

103

He goes, yeah, that score won't cut it.

104

And walks away.

105

and that was not a nice thing to hear because I always associated suffering with paying the price, right?

106

How could I be going through that type of punishment and have someone respond that way, right?

107

So we start the piece and now I'm like, I have something to prove and I'm just ripping the thing as hard as I can

108

and just not in a good place and he comes up again.

109

I'm like, all right, good, right?

110

Now he understands.

111

He goes, look, Eddie, I don't know what you have to do mentally.

112

I don't know what you have to do physically, but you gotta figure it out.

113

And that's where it occurred to me, showing up isn't enough.

114

Being in pain isn't enough because the guy from Georgetown you're racing on Saturday, the guy from Northeastern you're racing on Saturday, they hurt too.

115

But they're pulling faster.

116

Winning, truly winning is committing in every single way.

117

It's immersing yourself in something because if you want to be great,

118

that's what it takes So in this parable,

119

there's a man and he's walking through a circus and

120

What he's noticing as he looks around he sees these massive elephants, right?

121

I'm sure everyone knows how big

122

and strong an elephant is they have a rope around one of their legs connected to something

123

and that's what's holding them in place and he's looking at them thinking how are these enormous creatures

124

being held in place by these little ropes right they could

125

easily you know have enough strength to just break free

126

and run around yet they're not they're all staying right where they are

127

and so as he keeps walking he finds someone

128

and he asks them you know how is it these elephants are constrained like

129

that and the person explains well

130

when they're little we do the same thing we take a

131

rope we tie it to one of their legs connect it to something

132

and at that point they are too small they can't go anywhere

133

and every day you know we do the same thing

134

and as they get older they don't realize that they're big enough or strong enough to break free

135

They maintain the idea that they're shackled by that rope or tied by that rope, that they're bound to the same place.

136

It's mental.

137

And in fact, most limitations are mental.

138

These elephants don't even realize their constraints are self -imposed.

139

And if you take a step back, if you look at your own world,

140

I think what you'd find is there are more of these ropes than we'd like to admit.

141

And changing that is one, awareness, and two, a willingness.

142

Like what types of parameters have you made for yourself?

143

Are you living in just because that's what you've always done?

144

What is your metaphorical rope?

145

Is it a job?

146

Is it a relationship?

147

Is it a routine?

148

Is it the courage to start something?

149

Like what is holding you back?

150

What stories have you told yourself are you living by

151

that dictate your actions and your days and ultimately your happiness that can change with a tug on a metaphorical rope?

152

See reality, your life is nothing more than what you've conceded to, what you've allowed it to be.

153

It's a line in the sand.

154

And the message today is so incredibly simple.

155

It's to look around you and pinpoint where those lines can be redrawn.

156

Where that rope needs to be pulled.

157

What invisible walls have you created for yourself?

158

Because in life there's one truth, right?

159

Things only stop when you do.

160

Life stops when you decide to stop and sometimes you realize it and sometimes you don't

161

Sometimes you need the reminder to look around you

162

And realize how courageous you are how much you're capable of if you see beyond the immediate

163

Because reality was not destined to be it's what you've allowed.

164

It's what you've created.

165

It's what you've accepted So let's tear down those walls and build something incredible Have an amazing Saturday.

166

Catch you guys tomorrow.

167

I want to talk about a myth.

168

And it's a myth, it's an idea that's commonplace in our lives

169

and it's rooted in a lot of the decisions we make, as well as the actions that we do not take.

170

It's this idea of certainty.

171

Of a formula, something that's already out there that will get you from point A to point B.

172

See, breaking it down further, there are two things you need to know about certainty.

173

One is that it's an idea derived from fiction.

174

There's no way of knowing exactly what the top of the mountain will look like.

175

And waiting for that to materialize,

176

to have that crystal clear step -by -step formula, it creates stagnation.

177

We don't have perfection, so we don't move.

178

It's one of those things where you wait and days turn to days

179

and more days and weeks and months and years and eventually regret.

180

Why?

181

Because we were not certain.

182

And what do we do?

183

See, this leads to the second piece.

184

We study everything.

185

We live in a time where we have access to unlimited resources.

186

And it's this incredible thing, right?

187

We can study the LeBron James, the Jeff Bezos, the Gary Vaynerchuks of the world.

188

We can see exactly what they did.

189

We can see how they think, how they approach problems, how they get to solutions.

190

And on one hand, it's an unbelievable benefit.

191

Knowledge is power.

192

But on the other hand, there's a cost.

193

And this cost can be extremely detrimental because it mitigates the most important thing in your life, and that is your unique self.

194

What makes you valuable?

195

What do you bring to the world?

196

What makes you tick?

197

And I'll tell you right now, you do not find that by studying how Jeff Bezos started Amazon and attempting to duplicate it.

198

You don't find that by simply copying LeBron James' workout routine.

199

Your value.

200

Your source of happiness.

201

You know, that's discovered moving forward through ups and downs, falling and getting back up, not once, not twice, but repeatedly.

202

And it's through those trials and tribulations that you carve out who you are.

203

But if you wait for the perfect moment, you'll never find it, which means you will never go through this process.

204

I often think back to my days in the corporate world, in the insurance industry, being in a situation that I was not thriving in.

205

And if someone sat me down and said, Eddie, what do you want to do?

206

What is the top of the mountain?

207

What does success look like to you?

208

I couldn't answer that.

209

But what I did know was that I loved to create.

210

I loved to speak, to write, compose music, produce videos, just put out content.

211

That's what I was destined to do and I knew it.

212

But if I waited to move until I knew exactly what my life would look like, until there was, you know,

213

this path perfectly paved to the finish line, I'd still be there.

214

I'd be in a cubicle crunching numbers in Excel in a weirdly painted beige room.

215

But sometimes you have to move forward.

216

Trust your gut, your instincts, what you love to do.

217

Embrace the idea, the fact that you'll fall down and you'll fall down and you'll get back up.

218

But that it will shape you and that as you go on living your passion, your purpose, thriving in life, the pieces come together.

219

You have to trust that even when it's not certain because I'll tell you what is certain.

220

If you do not move, you will not achieve.

221

that world will spin right around you.

222

I read a book a few months ago called Hatching Twitter.

223

Simple read, it's about the founders of Twitter, Jack, Ev, all these guys with their different ideas and different notions of what this company is going to be.

224

It started out as, I believe, a radio, online radio company and it evolved and it evolved

225

and there were pivots and adjustments and alterations and they kept moving forward and they kept growing.

226

And there's one point where they have a valuation of millions and millions of dollars and they're having a conversation like, what do we have?

227

What is our company?

228

Is real -time news the focus?

229

Are we promoting social interaction?

230

Like what is it?

231

How do we brand this?

232

How do we market it?

233

What do we have on our hands?

234

This is a company worth millions of dollars.

235

Talk about just moving forward, taking it one step at a time.

236

Things will change, they'll evolve, but you have to give yourself an opportunity for that to happen.

237

Imagine if they never left the garage

238

or whatever room they started the company in because they didn't know what it would be in 2017.

239

We wouldn't have Twitter.

240

And that applies to everything around us, right?

241

We have this idea that you know things were meant to be they were destined

242

243

Things exist around us because of risks that were taken

244

Because people pushed forward until they got a result until they knew what they were meant to do

245

and it materialized and that is life So don't be scared to take that step don't be nervous To fall down

246

You need that.

247

The world needs that.

248

Because without it, we'll have could -bes and some days.

249

But not the existence that we want, that you deserve, that you're capable of acquiring.

250

No longer is certainty the standard.

251

Progress is the standard.

252

And your life will change.

253

Let's talk about fear.

254

One of the most interesting aspects of being human.

255

Our fear of touching the stove prevents us from burning our hand.

256

In many ways, it's our greatest protector.

257

But it's also outdated.

258

It can obstruct us from the things that we want most.

259

For thousands and thousands of years, it has kept our species alive.

260

Those who weren't afraid or skeptical of the dark cave or the rustling in the bushes, they probably didn't make it too long back in the day, right?

261

They would have been weeded out.

262

But the thing is, life today is very different than it was back then.

263

We don't have to fear for our life going to get food anymore.

264

The tricky part is that in many ways our cognitive processes are still the same.

265

We are wired to be afraid.

266

And this can be a problem.

267

Because if these fears limit our ability to grow or live the life that we want to live, then that fear, that primal instinct can be a barrier.

268

Because the human body will always take the path of least resistance.

269

And for us, that means avoiding the problem.

270

It's just easier.

271

Right, if I'm scared of public speaking, it is exponentially easier for me to avoid the problem and not deal with it.

272

I can eliminate the pain and discomfort by simply staying home.

273

But here's the issue with that mentality.

274

Life is too short and too precious to waste.

275

Think about all the opportunities we'd miss if we ran the other way and hid every time we were afraid.

276

If we never pushed ourselves.

277

If we never broke through the barrier of the unknown and sought out more, it would be a tragedy.

278

We'd live a fraction of the life that we're capable of living.

279

So the big question is how?

280

How do we overcome fear?

281

Well, it turns out the answer is simple, it's just not easy.

282

If you've ever jumped into a freezing cold pool, you'll be able to relate to this.

283

As soon as your body hits the water, you go through extreme discomfort, right?

284

Pins, needles, that quick shock you feel.

285

The only thing on your mind is being out of the pool, being warm.

286

But as time goes by, this changes.

287

Your body acclimates, you adjust.

288

And after five minutes, you can get out, you can jump back in.

289

There's no discomfort, you're completely fine.

290

While facing our fears follows a very similar pattern, the more we expose ourselves to a certain stimulus, the more comfortable we become.

291

Tim Ferriss references this in the context of going to a crowded place, sprawling out on the floor, lying on your back as people walk by.

292

It's an incredibly difficult and anxiety -inducing thing to do.

293

It goes against every instinct we have, but something happens when you get back up.

294

You've taught your brain that there are no negative repercussions, that it's okay.

295

And this pushes the bar a little higher, makes you a little braver, stretches your boundaries a little further.

296

Emphasizing the point that to get what we want out of life, to overcome fear, to be better than we were yesterday,

297

we cannot avoid what makes us uncomfortable.

298

Quite the opposite, we need more exposure to it.

299

To destroy your fears, you need to muster up the courage to stare them in the face. And that's tough, right?

300

Our mind tricks us into thinking about worst case scenario.

301

But if you can change your mentality to see not the downside but the upside, life changes along with it.

302

Now the scariest outcome isn't failure or having to backtrack or being wrong.

303

The scariest outcome is doing nothing.

304

What we eventually learn is that dark, mysterious unknown isn't half as scary as standing still and watching life go by.

FOR YOU

この動画でスピーキング練習をする理由

日常的な会話から深い人生の教訓まで幅広い内容をカバーするこの動画は、shadowspeaksやshadow speakの練習に最適です。自然なスピードとリアルな発音が特徴で、IELTS スピーキング対策にも役立つリアルなコミュニケーション能力を養えます。特に「損失回避」や「自己信頼」などの抽象的な概念を話す際の表現が豊富で、議論力向上にもつながります。

文脈の中の文法と表現

「I was thinking this morning about...」：過去進行形を使って話の流れを自然に始めるテクニック。日常会話やスピーチで頻繁に使われ、話者の思考過程を伝えるのに効果的です。
「you have to do what's right for you」：「what's right for you」のような名詞節を使うことで、具体的なアドバイスを柔軟に表現できます。IELTS スピーキングでも意見を述べる際に必携の構文です。
「it's not right but there's very basic boxes that are checked」：「boxes that are checked」は比喩的な表現で、「必要な条件を満たす」という意味。慣用句を使うことで話が生き生きとし、ネイティブらしさが増します。

発音の注意点

動画の中では「nuance」（ニュアンス）や「acquirable」（入手可能な）などの長い単語が出現します。特に「acquirable」の「ac -」部分は弱く発音される傾向があり、「アクワイラブル」ではなく「アクゥワイラブル」に近い発音になります。また、「shackled」（束縛された）の「ck」は強く打たず、「シャックルド」ではなく「シャクルド」と発音するのがポイントです。これらの単語はshadow speechの練習時に注意が必要です。shadowing siteを使って繰り返し聴き、口に出して練習することで、自然な発音を身につけられます。

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
