Hello and welcome.
2
So nice to see you again.
3
Thank you so much for joining me for a few minutes for this conversation today.
4
As you know, those of you who follow me, my granddaughter and her friend came to Florida to visit with me while they were going to a country music concert in Fort Lauderdale.
5
And we had the best conversation and I want to share that with you today.
6
Let us all just take a minute, stop, and look around,
7
and be thankful for everything that we have right now in this moment.
8
It seems as though when you're an elder, you get asked a lot of questions because everyone is curious about your life and about what your ideas are on life.
9
my granddaughter is 18 and she and her friend came down here to Fort Lauderdale.
10
They came to Fort Lauderdale for a country music festival and had a great time.
11
We went out to breakfast, as you know, because I've shown pictures.
12
And while we were sitting after breakfast and walking along and we sat down near the beach, she asked me a question and she said, Nana, what advice would you give me
13
that will help me age just the way you have.
14
I said, well, I don't know whether I can help you age,
15
but I can tell you in all the years that I have lived, things that I have learned that have helped me lead a better life, and maybe not a longer life, but a better life.
16
And I said, well, McLean, I have learned a lot in my lifetime.
17
I've made a lot of mistakes.
18
But the best thing about those mistakes is that I took the lessons from them so that I was not making those same mistakes over again.
19
But the first thing I told her is, in your life, do what is right, not what is easy.
20
And I want you to think about that.
21
Sometimes we take the easy route because it's, you know, less complicated and good for us and maybe not really good for everybody else.
22
But I want you to take the other road.
23
I want you to do what is right, whether it's in your college, whether it's with your friends or your workplace or your family.
24
Don't take the easy road, but just sit down and think about it.
25
And maybe the easy road is the right road.
26
But don't take the easy road and always think about taking the right road.
27
Now, I know a lot of you probably have had circumstances in your life when you have had to make that decision.
28
And maybe when you were younger, you made those decisions because it was easier for you.
29
But now that you're mature and you've lived a little bit longer, maybe you realize that that was a mistake and you should have taken the right road.
30
I have always tried to take the right road, although it has not always been easy.
31
And mainly, I think probably the biggest thing that I did is when my husband became ill, I gave up a thriving career on television.
32
It was so hard for me because I absolutely loved
33
what I did I love getting up and going to work every single day I loved it but
34
I knew that when I lost my husband and when I was the main caretaker of
35
my children I knew the right road was to be with them and not to have them lose both their mother and their father.
36
I knew the right road was to stay with them and to raise them and to be able to have some type of work that I could support us all, but yet that I could be there with them more.
37
It wasn't easy, but I knew it was what I should do.
38
It was the right road, and it's because I love them.
39
So that is the first thing that I would say to my granddaughter or to anyone.
40
Always try to take the right road.
41
When you're younger, weren't we full of dreams?
42
Oh, I can remember the dreams that I had were absolutely maybe out of touch for when I was living in this small industrial town in Ohio.
43
But dreams are only dreams until you take action.
44
Maybe it takes you a long time to realize that dream.
45
It took me 50 years to realize my dream of being on the stage in New York City and acting or being in film or being on television.
46
It took me 50 years, but I never let go of that dream back in my mind.
47
The time frame may not be the one that is meant for you, but if you have a dream, don't only dream that dream,
48
but take action to try to make it come true.
49
Treat others always the way that you want to be treated.
50
You know, at the end of all of my videos, I always said, be kind to whomever crosses your path.
51
And that's because this has been one of the things that I have learned throughout the life.
52
Treat others the way that you want to be treated.
53
Because I have found everything in life that you give out, you get back.
54
Everything.
55
If you give out negativity and hate and spite and jealousy, that'll come back to bite you.
56
It really will.
57
But if you give out love, support, kindness, all of those things will come back to you.
58
But I do believe so much in treating others the way that I want to be treated.
59
I think that is extremely, extremely important.
60
take risks.
61
And if you fail, don't stop there.
62
Don't stop.
63
Get up off of your knees.
64
As I've said a thousand times, get up off of your knees and don't quit.
65
Because if you quit, You will never realize anything in life.
66
Never.
67
Everything will just stop and fail and you will wind up being extremely unhappy and you're going to wonder why am I here.
68
But don't quit.
69
If you have a dream, if you have a purpose, if you have a goal, whatever it is in your life that you want to do, don't quit.
70
Even if you're planting a garden and you spread those little seedlings out so beautifully and you water and you water and you water and only half of them come up.
71
Don't give up.
72
Plant new seeds and water them and they surely will grow.
73
But that's like our lives.
74
If we don't plant good seeds, then we will never grow.
75
And nothing, very few good things probably will happen to us because we don't follow through on everything.
76
So try not to quit.
77
And that I think is something that I think encourages even young people to because in this world
78
things to be so overwhelming that they sometimes just give up because it seems too
79
too hard remember I always talk about your gut instinct and how important it is
80
in everything that we do and how many times we don't listen to that instinct that is 99.9% right most of the time.
81
Listen to your instinct.
82
Whenever you are wondering about something and whenever you have to make a decision in your life,
83
whenever you meet someone and there's a vibe there that you are feeling, whether it's negative or positive, listen to your instinct.
84
How many times in your life has your inner voice told you something and you've pushed her aside
85
and said shut up I don't want to hear it and you go on because your heart tells you to or because
86
you want to and it turns out to be the wrong thing and then you look back and you
87
said uh-huh my instinct told me way back when that this was not a
88
good choice for me listen to your instinct so if you start young McLean
89
and you can always take that gut instinct and roll it around and think about it probably the choice that you will make from that will be the right one for you.
90
We've talked about this a lot.
91
Learn something every day.
92
You are never too young to be curious and to try to learn something new every day, even if it's a new way of tying your scarves, even if it's a something new in technology,
93
even if it's a new book coming out or learning a new skill.
94
Be curious about life.
95
Be curious about the planet around you.
96
And try to be curious about your friends and what is happening with them.
97
Because so often, whatever is happening with them, they hide.
98
And what you see on the surface is not what they're feeling.
99
how many times maybe we can reach out and help other people if we actually listen
100
and we learn ask questions about them ask them how they're feeling anything
101
in life never stop learning and that I think will keep you young forever to the very
102
last breath and when you think of all of the older women who in their 80s became famous because they were living their dream and they were not too old to learn
103
something new believe in yourself we have talked about this too i mean some of these things i know that we have discussed before.
104
But believe in yourself, McLean.
105
Believe in yourself.
106
Don't ever let outside static or other people's opinions shape your own view of you.
107
Because if you do that, a lot of times you'll miss out on opportunities and a lot of times your self-worth will be eroded away.
108
And basically that kind of comes down to the last thing I want to talk about.
109
Don't worry.
110
Don't ever worry about what other people think.
111
Now, I probably spent three quarters of my life worrying about what other people thought.
112
Whatever people thought about me, what other people thought about my marriage, what other people thought about my circumstances, how I dressed, you know, whatever people thought about anything.
113
I was so concerned about my public image and what people thought and even my private image.
114
What, you know, when I was having problems with my husband who was ill, oh my, I'm so embarrassed.
115
What are people going to think?
116
You know, how stupid I am or how uncaring I am or or how could I make such choices in my life?
117
Don't worry about what other people think.
118
And then when I went through menopause, I gained 20 pounds or maybe 30 pounds, and I thought, oh, gee, people will think I'm fat.
119
Who cares?
120
Who cares?
121
Let it go.
122
And when you're young, that is so hard because you really don't know who you are yet, and you don't usually have the mature self-confidence to be strong enough to believe that you are unique and you are special.
123
But don't worry what other people think.
124
Be unique.
125
Be memorable.
126
Be confident.
127
Be proud.
128
But mainly, be you.
129
I hope she remembers and will take my advice as she goes along through her life in college and business and
130
beyond or maybe getting married and have a family if I'm not here on this planet I hope she
131
will remember if you were to sit down with your children or your grandchild or maybe your
132
granddaughter because it's basically I can't be both male and female but basically toward young women and
133
if they would ask you what are the pieces best pieces of advice you can
134
give me just exactly what would you tell them I really would love to know if you
135
can and if you have time and if you don't mind thinking about it please put your
136
responses down in the comments I would genuinely love to know what seven
137
excellent pieces of advice would you give to your child or to your grandchild to help them lead a better life going forward.
138
Thanks so much for joining me today.
139
I am blessed and I feel so special that all of you have come to share conversations with me and share a little bit of time with me.
140

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。
