1
Very few people know this, but I don't wear a watch.
2
And the reason why I don't wear a watch is now is the most important time.
3
Just dedicate yourself to now.
4
The best career advice I got was from a gardener.
5
I was on a family trip.
6
We were in Kyoto.
7
And many of you probably went to the temple that had the largest mosque collection in the world.
8
The yard, the garden, the moss garden is incredible.
9
All of the moss is perfect.
10
Every species of the world's moss is there.
11
And it was a hot summer day.
12
And anybody who's been to Kyoto knows how incredibly hot it is during the summer.
13
They're in a valley.
14
It's hot, it's humid, there's no wind, no breeze, and it is insanely hot.
15
And all of the tourists were walking by and my family walked by this old man that was on his squatted down working on the moss.
16
And I walked by and I noticed he was using a bamboo tweezer.
17
And his bamboo basket was nearly empty.
18
There were only two or three small pieces of dead moss.
19
And I asked him, what are you doing?
20
And he says, he is taking care of this garden.
21
His English was perfect.
22
And I asked him how long he's been working there.
23
He said he's been working there for almost 30 years.
24
And he said that this is his garden.
25
And I asked him, but this garden is so big, and your tweezer and your basket is so small.
26
How can you take care of the whole garden?
27
And he said something that is perfect.
28
He said, I have plenty of time.
29
And in fact, that's the best career advice I can give you.
30
Most of the time, I wait for things to come to me.
31
I'm rarely chasing things.
32
I don't have a watch.
33
I'm focused on now.
34
I'm enjoying my job.
35
I'm the longest running tech CEO in the world as you know.
36
I am largely unemployable now.
37
And thank goodness I enjoy my job.
38
And so dedicate yourself to learning all the time, doing the best possible work you can.
39
leave everything on the field you know by the time i get home i am exhausted by the time i go to bed i'm exhausted
40
and i'm you know happy about my day because i did everything i could and those that kind of habit that
41
kind of happen and people be you know you'll be surprised i'm not at all ambitious i don't aspire to do more i aspire to do better at what i'm currently doing i'm not reaching for more,
42
I wait for the world to come to me.
43
People who know me also know NVIDIA doesn't have a long-term strategy.
44
We have no long-term plan.
45
Our definition of a long-term plan is, you know, what are we doing today?
46
And I know that that is almost counter your career strategy, But I think the advice that he gave me was a very good one.
47
And, you know, you have plenty of time.
48
Enjoy your work.
49
Do the best you possibly can.
50
And just keep learning every day.
51
And good things will come to you.
52
Thank you.

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。
