レッスンを作成中...
1
When the pencil was made for the first time, the pencil maker gave the pencil some very crucial,
2
pertinent and important instructions which can actually give us very inspiring lessons to be applied in our own lives.
3
The first instruction that the pencil maker gave the pencil was,
4
what's truly important actually lies within you.
5
The pencil has two aspects to it.
6
The outside, which is its beautiful, colourful wooden casing, and the inside,
7
which is the lead, its very substance, its very purpose.
8
Similarly in our lives as well, we have the outside.
9
The outside is about our personality, our looks, our presence.
10
I always say no one looks as good as their Facebook profile picture
11
and no one looks as ugly as their driving license picture.
12
The outside is about personality.
13
The inside is about being a genuine, sincere person.
14
The outside is about charisma,
15
our style, our presentation, how we speak, our confidence, our mannerisms.
16
The inside is about our character,
17
our morals, our integrity, the principles that we hold sacred in our lives.
18
The outside is about valuables.
19
In the world today, we are accepted more for what we have than who we are.
20
We are accepted for what we wear than for who we are.
21
We are accepted more for what we drive than who we are.
22
We are accepted more today for where we live than who we are.
23
Valuables seem to be so crucial and overtly emphasized in the modern society.
24
The outside is about valuables.
25
The inside is about our values.
26
Ladies and gentlemen, while we focus on the outside, we shouldn't forget the inside.
27
There's a great need to find that right balance.
28
We live in the real world so the outside is important
29
but our focus on the outside should never be at the cost of our inner world.
30
Material education teaches us how How to develop our outside, our externals, all our skills,
31
our talents which can buy us all the valuables to live in the real world.
32
Spiritual education teaches us how to focus on the inside world.
33
And therefore there is such a great need to find that fine balance between our personality and being a genuine person.
34
between our charisma and our character, between our valuables and our values.
35
Yes, the first instruction that the pencil maker gave the pencil was what's of true importance lies within you and yes,
36
what's of true importance lies within us.
37
Our being a person, our character, our values, our very essence,
38
the wonderful qualities of our soul.
39
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。
