レッスンを作成中...
1
The people you envy are not doing nearly as well as you think.
2
So don't let that influence your decisions in life.
3
Yeah, something that I think many a person struggle with,
4
which is in part this idea of focusing on the thing in front of you versus getting too distracted with other opportunities.
5
And I wanted to talk to you about this idea of focus.
6
Sure.
7
And how important you think it is for mastery.
8
Yeah.
9
I meet so many young people who will say to me, I'm doing this little crypto thing here and I've got this hair business here and I've got this other thing here
10
What would you say to those people that are trying to become a master in this world as it relates to focus?
11
It's funny because I'm helping a The son of an old friend of mine who's who's who's got that problem.
12
He's incredibly successful Hope he's not listening to this.
13
He's 20 years old.
14
He's very wealthy.
15
He's done amazing things But he's one of those people who spread himself out to all these different things.
16
And I can't find a through line what connects them all except making money and having connections and stuff.
17
And it's very alluring in this world, particularly where there's so many possibilities.
18
Where you can get on the internet, you can learn this out of the other people who are doing these things.
19
You can get into crypto, you can start your own business here,
20
you can get into the health and fitness world and then later on try to figure out how to connect them all.
21
But life doesn't work like that.
22
That's not how the brain functions.
23
That's not what we were meant for.
24
Because it doesn't start from you.
25
The whole thing has to start from you.
26
It can't start from the world.
27
It can't start from what other people are doing.
28
It can't start from what's sexy.
29
It has to come from within.
30
If it doesn't come from within, then you're going to be floundering for years and years and years.
31
And so what I've done with this young person, whose name I won't mention but I love dearly, is what is it that really is in your heart?
32
What is it that you really, really love?
33
How can we connect this crypto with this media business that you're starting, with the sports world that you're starting,
34
this fitness thing, what connects them all?
35
And to me, I was thinking, I was getting the sense, we haven't solved it yet,
36
but he's kind of excited by celebrities and by that world.
37
And that's fine, I think there's nothing wrong with that.
38
So I'd say, well, maybe what connects all this is the film business, right?
39
Because the film business is pretty wide-ranging.
40
To be a producer, to raise money, You're dealing with all kinds of different people, you're networking, you're meeting starlets, you know, it's a glamorous life, but it's focused, okay?
41
So, you know, when you focus on something, the world just kind of opens up, but you have to be focusing on the right thing.
42
So, if you were meant to be a writer
43
and then you decide because you want money to go into law school and then you focus very deeply on law school,
44
What will happen is for a year or two you'll be able to skid by, but then the wheels will start going slower and slower because you're not interested in it, you're not connected to it.
45
You get bored and your focus will start falling to pieces.
46
But if it's something you love, you can focus on that for seven, eight, ten, twelve years and never get bored.
47
From observing a certain family member of mine do a very similar thing,
48
part of it as well is that when she would start one pursuit,
49
starting X business, it would get hard, as it always does.
50
And when you look over at the person across the road, they seem to be having a much easier life with their thing
51
or with their crypto or with their whatever
52
and they tell you the story of how much money they've made and how easy it was, whatever.
53
So you get tempted into believing that the grass is greener, you pursue that.
54
So now you're doing two things.
55
Now your first thing starts to suffer.
56
And I think especially in the early season of life, when you don't have Elon Musk resources, much of the game is focusing enough on one thing to build those resources
57
so that you have the chance of being able to do it more than one thing
58
or spreading your bets a bit more.
59
But in that first season when you're in resource accumulation phase, I think my early investors I remember one day emailing my first investor who's a very successful man
60
and saying I've got an idea
61
And it was an idea other than the one he'd invested in
62
and I remember the email He I was 18 years old
63
and he hit me so hard on that email He was like
64
if you don't focus on one thing you will never But you were the one that was interested in this other yeah, I was trying to use the one yeah So hit my investor.
65
He was a very successful man.
66
I emailed him this other idea, which I thought was amazing Yeah, yeah, yeah And he sent me this email back
67
which was like being hit by a whip and he was like
68
if you don't focus on one thing now You will never be successful
69
because also you rub yourself as you said of the chance of accumulating deep skills.
70
Yeah Yes, it is Yeah, I remember
71
This is something that wise people know and if you're young
72
if you have like a mentor Like you did who could tell you that the truth the ropes as they are.
73
It will help save you years of misery.
74
I remember when we were at American Apparel, it was the year 2007, the company was just about to go public.
75
I was about to be put on the board of directors
76
and this man came to me who was like your investor and he said, Robert, just make sure that Doves doesn't mindlessly expand.
77
Make the brand focused, have it focused on one thing and then he will be successful.
78
At the time I thought that was interesting but I didn't really have the guts to like explain that to Dove.
79
But there are people out there who understand the truth of this.
80
But the other thing about envy, like you say, you see your other friend doing crypto and they're having so much fun and making so much money.
81
I tell you it's bullshit.
82
They're not having as much fun as you think, right?
83
People create a front on Instagram or TikTok or wherever, where life seems so glorious.
84
But they're never having as much fun as you might imagine.
85
In my book, Laws of Human Nature, I talk about Aristotle Onassis, who in the 60s was the wealthiest man in the world.
86
He was married to John F.
87
Kennedy's widow, Jacqueline Kennedy, Jacqueline Onassis.
88
Who could be happier than that?
89
He had yachts, etc. He was the most unhappiest miserable person in the world, as Jacqueline Kennedy explained in her autobiography.
90
He was such a mean-spirited, unhappy person.
91
Yet everybody thought envied him because he had this beautiful wife and all that money.
92
The people you envy are not doing nearly as well as you think, so don't let that influence your decisions in life.

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。
