I definitely thought I'd be making a lot of money at some high up position now.

I thought I was going to be married at one point in my life.

I definitely thought I'd have kids by now and have none of that.

No one has their together.

We all don't know what's going to happen in a month or a year.

Little ideas, but no one has their together.

I still have no effing clue what I'm doing.

I wish I didn't spend so much time trying to be like everybody else

when I knew in my gut that I wasn't.

The world is not easy.

It was not easy 50 years ago.

It was not easy 500 years ago, and it will never be easy.

You might think someone else has it easy, but I promise you they don't.

In this video, I'm asking strangers in New York City what they wish they would do differently

if they could relive their 20s and 30s, and what their best piece of advice for someone of your age would be.

How old are you?

34. What does it feel like to be 34?

I definitely thought I'd be making a lot of money at some high -up position.

Now I thought I was gonna be married at one point

in my life I definitely thought I'd have kids by now and have none of that.

I expected to like turn a corner and

All of a sudden for like the heavens to open up

and be filled with all of this knowledge and I still have no F -ing clue what I'm doing.

I still

Despite being on this earth like five decades I don't know what I'm doing

But I think that's encouraging because then I can look at other people

and be like none of you know what you're doing either Yeah, I heard that yesterday actually that someone was saying like as you get older

or whatever just in general Nobody knows what they're doing.

They don't know what I'm doing I care less about what people think though

and that feels good that that is something

that kind of like opened up like a book to me And I was like, oh yeah, no everybody else is just caring about what they look like and

Themselves and like what what people think of them Yeah

So I'm gonna stop caring about what people think of me

because I know that everyone's just thinking about themselves And that's a good epiphany.

I love that.

No one has their shit together.

I've been able to meet with some very successful people, and that's one takeaway is that we all don't know what's gonna happen in a month or a year.

Little ideas, but no one has their shit together.

So just remember that if you're going through a weird point in your life.

Yeah.

I used to worry a little bit about what other people thought.

Don't be afraid to be yourself was something that I learned, and so glad that I came out of my shell at a younger age

because if I didn't have that self -confidence and not be afraid to be who I am, I maybe wouldn't be here right now.

I think I spent a lot of time

when I was younger trying to be like everybody else

when I knew in my gut that I wasn't and

that I had a different path and that I had different interests and I've always been an old soul, hence the name of my business.

I think I was born an 80 -year -old woman.

I think I spent a lot of time fitting in

when really when I learned that being myself is how not only I can be successful

but also what I can offer to others.

I wish I didn't spend so much time trying to do the opposite.

For someone who feels that like that, like they don't fit in or they're different, what's your advice to them?

You have to find people not necessarily who enjoy the same things as you

but who will celebrate what you enjoy and

so I think surrounding yourself with the right people is so important and also being comfortable spending time by yourself.

There are some things that I like to do like alone that I'm perfectly happy doing by myself.

When you're looking to fit in

but you know you like to do things differently be okay with learning to love spending time with yourself.

Hang out with quality people like that's that's gonna shape your

habits everything you do every day is shaped by the people you have around you.

So make sure you always surround yourself with people that inspire you and push you to be the better version of yourself.

It's like cliche, but it's the reality.

What do you do for a living?

I make shit happen.

I just live life, man.

That's what I do for a living, live life, you know?

I love that.

A full -time liver.

Yeah, absolutely.

Growing up in Queens, I've seen so many great entrepreneurs come and do their thing.

And I always knew working a nine to five wasn't going to get me there.

So I wanted to come up with creative ways to get there.

I make art now.

I had a 30 -year retail career, and that That ended October of last year.

I was a stockroom manager basically.

I was an operations manager in one of the stores in Portland, Oregon for like 30 year retail career.

I was incredibly unfulfilled and kind of didn't even know what was missing.

I also was my own worst enemy and I was convincing myself

that nobody was going to like my art or

that since I didn't go to school for art

that I had nothing new to say about art or creativity until I just did it without fear.

Your fear of looking stupid is holding you back.

I loved my job until I left it and I was like oh this is what I'm supposed to do.

If you have to give three pieces of advice to someone working in a job they're not.. thrilled with?

What would your best three pieces of advice, your best three tips be?

Don't make excuses and just do it.

Stop making excuses and just start.

Take advice from a lot of people and make sure that you're still listening to your gut.

The third one is make a business plan.

I studied finance and was interning for two years at Morgan Stanley.

I was going to go down that route of investment banking, wealth management, but I just knew something wasn't right.

Like I'm so glad that I did that internship because it taught me that that wasn't for me.

The best thing you could do is have a job that you don't have to you don't have to love your job.

Have a job that supports you and gives you the time and flexibility to

be creative and then you don't have to worry about making money and then when you do make money It's great.

It's a little extra bonus every month.

That is the best solution.

Find time

100

Have a nine -to -five job

101

and spend your weekends having fun making videos of whatever you want to do And then maybe if it takes off, you could think about it.

102

But I think people jump 100 steps ahead of what it takes.

103

Don't quit your job until you have a plan and some sort of traction.

104

So I would say stick to whatever's paying you first so you have some money coming in.

105

You gotta just, long story short, just jump like a bird trying to fly.

106

A bird trying to fly might hit the ground a few times, you might get your knees bloody, but then eventually you learn how to fly through that, through the failures.

107

So it's about just jumping, trying, failing, keep going, keep your job until you see some money coming from your other job or your business.

108

And then once you feel totally comfortable that that money is supplementing your original job, then I would say it's a good time to quit and then go full force in your business.

109

Do you know someone your age or younger than you who enjoys their current life

110

but knows they have the potential to do so much more?

111

Well, I think that that person would really benefit from the Sprout Journal.

112

I created this after leaving a six -figure job in banking to follow a totally different path, traveling the world and interviewing some of the oldest,

113

wisest, and most accomplished people I could find about what made their life successful, fulfilling, and worth living.

114

After more than a thousand of those conversations, we took the biggest lessons and turned them into one guided goal setting system.

115

You start by looking honestly at your current life, then you design what your ideal life would look like,

116

and the gap between those two versions of your life becomes a set of detailed, measurable goals.

117

Then, for the next six months, you track those goals every day, every week, and every month, so you're not just thinking about the person you want to become, you're actually moving towards it.

118

You don't need to start your whole life over.

119

You just need to decide what you want the next chapter to look like.

120

What is one truth about life you wish more people understood?

121

World is not easy.

122

It was not easy 50 years ago.

123

It was not easy 500 years ago.

124

And it will never be easy.

125

There's lots of joys in life and it defines those joys in life.

126

And you have to appreciate those joys in life.

127

But understand that it's not easy.

128

There's no easy way to do it.

129

You might think someone else has it easy, but I promise you they don't.

130

We're not guaranteed anything.

131

And life is such a gift and I think we spend so much time harping on trivial things, harping on what people think and doing the right thing and all that.

132

And I think it's that we should just feel empowered to live life in the way that speaks to us.

133

Do things that we love, that bring us joy.

134

Spend time with the people that we want to spend time with.

135

Laugh a lot.

136

You know, bring our sparkle.

137

Karma is very real.

138

The universe is very real.

139

And do believe what you put in is what you'll get out.

140

Be mindful of the synchronicities in life and the direction you're going in

141

because the universe will send you people and things that you need to be productive and the best version of yourself.

142

So just keep an eye out for those things and you'll be successful.

143

I wish people understood the universe wants you to succeed and walk through these doors.

144

I shouldn't even be saying this, but I once went to the Madison Square Garden with no ticket for a Knicks game.

145

I had no ticket and I sat corsage, right?

146

Because the universe wanted me, like I just walked with so much confidence.

147

Nobody said anything to me

148

so like a lot of people worry like oh I gotta have everything right oh I gotta

149

just walk into it like the universe is kind of like wanting you to to go like unless you're hesitant

150

if you come in like second guess now people might all right stop sir where are you going

151

but when you're walking powerful and strong

152

and confident people like this right this way sir your seat's

153

right here I sat courtside I had no ticket meeting popcorn you know meeting people

154

and stuff like that so I wish people understood

155

that just go like the universe is it's opening the door

156

you just got to walk through it the truth is you gotta love what you do every day

157

and don't chase things just for the money you can get the money

158

but do it through other ways that's my biggest problem social

159

media I have kids who come up to me sometimes

160

and they're like literally 12 years old

161

and they're like oh we're gonna go pop Dom Pérignon bottles

162

and like I'm gonna go to Mykonos I'm gonna go to Namos I'm like my Oh my god, that's cool.

163

But I'll be honest with you, like, most of the people who do that tend to be lose -outs.

164

It all looks great and the stories and the reels and...

165

But the reality is that it's also a dark welt.

166

So be conscious of that.

167

That's my biggest thing.

168

People watch and consume stuff and they build up expectations about what they want to drive to be about.

169

And the reality is that...

170

It's a...

171

It's a utopia and it's not.. it's just not reality.

172

If you could give one piece of advice to anyone your age or younger on living a good life, what would that be?

173

I'm gonna keep it queens.

174

Like, having a good meal, watching a good movie, you know what I mean?

175

A roof over your head.

176

Good.

177

Good life right there.

178

You know what I mean?

179

That's it.

180

I don't need much.

181

Living a good life means living for yourself and not living for other people.

182

Because I think so much in our 20s is so much about exploring who you are.

183

And part of that is not living for yourself, like not walking around being selfish all the time, right?

184

Of course, like service to others is like everything that I speak about.

185

But when I say living for yourself, it's doing things that you love because you love them.

186

I mean, we get one life.

187

Why would you try and why would you waste time being somebody else or doing things that you don't enjoy?

188

The biggest issue we deal with on planet Earth is being so close -minded about stuff, being afraid of what else is out there.

189

And I think that if you just experience it, you understand that like, there's nothing to be afraid of.

190

Appreciate it.

191

Again, that might not be for you.

192

I love living in New York City.

193

I don't want to live anywhere else.

194

But I love the fact that I get to travel

195

and see all those things and see the way other people live and understand that like, you had to live a little bit different, but we're still the same.

196

I think that overall it's experiencing things.

197

I think that is something I tell everyone of all ages.

198

I think that like I'm very very privileged that I get to travel

199

and that I live in a city that's so diverse anyway

200

But I think like that diversity and

201

that ability for me to see the way other people live

202

and appreciate the way other people It opens up your worldview

203

so much more What is one thing that

204

when you were younger you put a lot of importance on and as you've gotten older you realize wasn't actually that important?

205

Girls

206

Explain I mean like you know girls are important

207

but I think like a lot of young men like to chase girls

208

and I still do

209

but it's like it's opportunity cost this is the one thing

210

I learned in economics is the one thing I took away from my major

211

so all the effort that you're putting in all the effort

212

and time you're putting in chasing women you could be putting into something a lot more productive like starting a business

213

so just be aware of your opportunity costs.

214

Honestly I think social media is a great thing

215

but it's also one of the wealth one of the wealth

216

things in our generation the amount of distractions It imposes every day the amount of consumption

217

that everyone spends consuming consuming it's it's designed to be addictive Constantly push yourself and I mean yeah,

218

I'm I tell people whenever I meet someone and they're like Oh, this guy's famous on tiktok and someone says I don't have tiktok.

219

I tell them that's good Like that's good.

220

There's literally no reason for you to have unless you're posting

221

content You just want to consume tiktok content of other people

222

every day people spend hours consuming content every day You're just frying your brain, you know?

223

So many incredible people, all their potential is gonna be get killed because they spend

224

so much time on social media obsessing all the stuff they don't have

225

and you just gotta go out there and just try shit.

226

And just cause you're in your 20s, like, always build for the future.

227

I mean, yeah, it's just, don't follow normality.

228

Powerful.

229

From a guy with more than a million followers on TikTok saying not to do it.

230

Powerful.

231

If you could give one piece of advice to anyone your age or younger on living a good life, what would that be?

232

Balance is key.

233

Now, as I'm entering my early 30s, I've learned to have all the levers the same from like work,

234

health, family, friends, dating.

235

Everything's kind of at a good balance right now.

236

And when I was in my mid -20s, I was more work.

237

family too but health mental health I didn't even know what that was

238

so I think now again like getting to this point in

239

my life everything I love having a equilibrium with I think surround yourself with good people

240

but also know that your relationship with yourself is the most important relationship

241

and really cultivate

242

that be okay with doing things on your own be okay with being your own biggest cheerleader

243

and once you have that relationship down everything else is

244

so much better and all the other relationships are so much more meaningful too.

245

Be happy get lots of cats

246

that's really it uh well I think we all like you

247

know eat better than the generation before us did I think we'd exercise more

248

and take care of our bodies more the more than the the generation before us did yeah uh

249

so i i think we're all on like a good track to live hopefully uh uh long healthy lives um

250

but yeah yeah that would

251

that would be it be happy to get more cats exactly yeah be happy get more hat get more cats yeah

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。
