1
There are two types of people in the world.
2
Those who wake up in the morning feeling like this, and those who wake up in the morning feeling like this.
3
We know which one we are, but the question is, what's the difference?
4
Carl Jung, a very famous psychiatrist,
5
said at the end of his career that over one -third of the patients he's seen actually suffered from no clinical neurosis,
6
but rather from a want of meaning or purpose in their lives.
7
Viktor Frankl, a Jewish psychiatrist and survivor of the Auschwitz death camp, said, as soon as one of his fellow inmates lost their purpose,
8
they'd be dead within a day or two.
9
purpose makes us whole purpose gives us life purpose is what gets us out of bed in the morning
10
and without it we're drifters drifting through life with no direction no destination
11
and no end in sight and life is dull mundane monotonous and meaningless Sheen called this the anxiety of life.
12
Now some of us will say just get through school, get a good job, follow your dreams, get married, raise a family,
13
and make a lot of money.
14
That's your purpose.
15
And these are all good things that are part of purpose but can't be purpose purpose because first of all,
16
what if these things don't work out for me?
17
Then what?
18
And second, what if all these things work out for me?
19
Then what?
20
Others will just try to avoid the whole thing and convince ourselves that there's no such thing as purpose.
21
And we'll try to replace the want of purpose with things like pleasures, experiences, and excessiveness.
22
But you know as well as I do, this gets old real fast, and the older we get,
23
the louder those questions become. So what is it?
24
What's my purpose?
25
And how do I break out of this anxiety of life?
26
Well, Sheen offers two solutions.
27
The first is this go out and help someone.
28
Today, help my neighbor.
29
Who's my neighbor?
30
Anyone near me who's suffering.
31
The poor, the lonely, the sick, the stressed out, the sad, the broken, the beaten down, the depressed, the tired, the hungry,
32
the addicted, the lost, the hurting.
33
Basically, we're all the neighbor.
34
Because when we're living in this anxiety of life, we're living totally for ourselves, trapped in all the junk inside our own heads.
35
and the quickest way out.
36
And the second thing is this. Be open.
37
Like our phones receive all kinds of signals from God knows where, we have built -in antennas able to receive infinite signals from outside.
38
We call these.
39
But they've long been disabled and atrophy, and we can't get a signal anyway because we're surrounded by so much.
40
Enable it.
41
And be open to receive some sort of encounter from God.
42
And it doesn't matter who you are, what you've done, or how far away you think you may be.
43
These signals are coming down on all of us, even as we speak, like rain.
44
Just be open.
45
Now some of us may be thinking, alright that first one makes sense, but why do I need that second one?
46
The whole God thing makes me a little uncomfortable.
47
Because if the first one is this, the second is this.
48
If the first is this, the second is this.
49
If the first one is this, the second is this.
50
Because the first is, go out and love my neighbor.
51
and the second is opening up a permanent connection with pure love itself
52
that is purpose and this purpose is like the mother of all purposes
53
and takes all those other purposes into her arms and lifts them all up
54
purpose is not something we rationalize or intellectualize or figure out by just thinking about it really really hard
55
It's something we do.
56
And when we do, we don't find purpose.
57
Purpose finds us.
58
I'm going to go ahead and get it.

動画に出てくる短く完結した文です。日常会話でそのまま使えます。

  • Anyone near me who's suffering.
  • Basically, we're all the neighbor.
  • I'm going to go ahead and get it.

注意したい発音

話し手はwe're, can't, don'tなど、短縮形や弱形を15回使っています。聞こえたとおりの短い形で発音しましょう。

  • 「sh」と「zh」の音: destination /dɛstɪˈneɪʃən/, rationalize /ˈɹæʃənəlaɪz/
  • 長い単語(アクセントの位置に注意): anxiety /æŋˈzaɪ.əti/, psychiatrist /ˌsaɪˈkaɪ.ə.tɹɪst/, destination /dɛstɪˈneɪʃən/, uncomfortable /ʌnˈkʌm.fɚ.tə.bl̩/, intellectualize /ɪntəˈlɛkt͡ʃuəlaɪz/

日本語話者が苦手な音:

  • /r/ と /l/ の区別 — /l/ は舌先を歯茎につけ、/r/ はどこにもつけない: carl /kɑɹl̩/, rationalize /ˈɹæʃənəlaɪz/
  • /v/ — /b/ にならないように、上の歯を下唇に当てる: convince /kənˈvɪns/, survivor /sɚˈvaɪvɚ/
  • /f/ — 「フ」ではなく、上の歯と下唇で出す: suffer /ˈsʌfɚ/, uncomfortable /ʌnˈkʌm.fɚ.tə.bl̩/, infinite /ˈɪnfɪnɪt/, drift /dɹɪft/, atrophy /ˈæt.ɹə.fi/

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。
