1
The number one reason to let go of perfectionism is that your idea of perfection will change over time.
2
Even your most perfect work today will be crap in five years.
3
There is no way to ever be perfect because you are constantly learning and improving.
4
Hello, how's your day going?
5
Wherever you are, I hope everything's good.
6
Lately, I've been feeling like I am really lucky
7
because I want to explore things and connect with people to engage in many different conversations.
8
It is like networking plus discussing my career paths to figure out what makes sense for me.
9
Meeting great people has made me think like that.
10
Sometimes I feel like all the things that I've been gathering have been worth it.
11
I'm feeling pretty satisfied with myself.
12
Maybe that's why I feel like I have the leisure to have these conversations today.
13
The desire for perfection is like addiction, I guess.
14
If the result is somewhat perfect, no matter which way you look at it, that feels good.
15
I mean I did pick the topic today but I don't consider myself as a perfectionist.
16
Or is this even about perfectionism?
17
Oh no, maybe um i'm not sure
18
because i think this is like i cannot completely confident in calling myself the one
19
that i'm perfect
20
because i'm not perfect i think i saw a quiz the other day on the internet
21
that i can check myself if i'm a perfectionist i think i should do
22
that let's do that so okay do i have trouble meeting my own standards i don't think
23
so i don't think that i set my standards that high.
24
It's just that many things can feel a bit overwhelming to me because I want to do better.
25
I want to be better.
26
The next one.
27
Do I often feel frustrated, depressed, anxious, or angry while trying to meet my standards?
28
No, not really.
29
Have I been told that my standards are too high.
30
I do hear this quite often though.
31
Do my standards get in my own way?
32
For example, do they make it difficult for me to meet deadlines, finish a task, trust others or do anything spontaneously?
33
I don't think this is perfectionism.
34
Well, I do spontaneous things well.
35
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may have a problem with perfectionism.
36
Okay, maybe yes, maybe no. I'm curious about what you guys think.
37
Is the process more important than the result for you?
38
At what point can you chill with the thought that you've prepared enough?
39
of this like perfectionism I feel like many things
40
that I could be easy for me are becoming difficult I mean to myself
41
so I'm practicing telling myself that's like that's okay I'll be
42
okay to take things easy I think YouTube is like
43
that too there's no defined perfection and deciding
44
when it complete is up to me how perfect it seems depends on the viewer
45
or maybe the level of perfection itself isn't what you guys are looking for.
46
Actually, I'm not really interested in other people's achievements.
47
So even when I watch others YouTube videos, I don't really judge them on their perfection.
48
As long as the person is charming, I think that's all that matters, isn't it?
49
Yeah, perfection alone doesn't seem all that appealing to me.
50
I have a habit of imagining and copying things when I say it.
51
Like normally it's something that I want to become.
52
Everyone has their own way of wanting something and working towards it.
53
yeah this is just my thing
54
if my results are like different from the original i used to feel unhappy
55
because i learned english the same way i i copied
56
and mimicked someone who spoke english i'll explain it later
57
when i have a chance anyway work english
58
and even dating i think i had a clear image that i wanted to design.
59
In dramas and movies, the main characters never seem to use the bathroom.
60
Or do they ever take the wrong bus and end up getting off at the next stop?
61
Um, no. So yeah, I wanted to make my life like that too.
62
Not that I wasn't satisfied with my life and wasn't happy,
63
but I used to dream of a perfect ideal that was like quite far away.
64
It seems like I'm gradually improving.
65
Even if I make any mistakes, I think I need to have some oopsie attitude.
66
There are many things that I really don't know how to do but they're interesting enough to try.
67
I think those moments helped me to improve myself like being flexible.
68
Like a designer job that I mentioned before in the previous video, there was no proper way to prepare myself for the job itself.
69
I just need to be there and learn from the job and I just need to learn from the environment.
70
It's okay to deviate from the order and understand the method, realizing that you can challenge something that taught me a lot.
71
There are some moments when you have to step forward even
72
if you are not prepared and there are some things that are impossible to prepare for.
73
At some point I felt that moving forward even without success was cooler than actually succeeding.
74
Having social experience abroad also helped me.
75
There are just so many diverse people here
76
so it was easy for me to understand or acknowledge myself
77
that I would be a bit different from others and become less fixated on perfection which others had decided.
78
The biggest help for me was stopping evaluating others.
79
Depending on how I view the outside world, the perspective of myself is set.
80
If you sharpen your edges towards people, you become like that too to yourself.
81
Stay away from negatively sharp people and if I am sharp, then stay away from me too.
82
I like being thorough and detailed.
83
Objective judgment about myself is also important but if that makes me sad or concerned too much, definitely not healthy.
84
If it takes a day or two to unfold the file and press the submit button
85
and if there are several tasks saved temporarily like that, it's stressful because that was me.
86
In fact, perfection doesn't really exist, doesn't it?
87
Investing more time and effort doesn't necessarily bring you closer to perfection.
88
As the quote said, there's no way to ever be perfect because you are constantly learning and improving.

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。
