So, as someone who's watched two John Green videos and two Hank Green videos on how to live your life, I think I have consumed basically all relevant media on this topic.
2
But to be honest, listening to other people telling you how to live your life the right way, no matter how smart you think they are, is kind of like learning how to tie a tie by watching someone tie a tie.
3
Especially from this angle, it's not going to work.
4
I mean, literally you can't see anything, and all the orientations are reversed, and they're doing whatever with their hands at light speed.
5
They could be airbending for all you know and even
6
if you stand behind them and watch and pretend it's your hands It's still not your hands doing it.
7
So it just doesn't click That's how life is you have
8
to actually do a lot of it to get better at it And how do you do more life?
9
Well, no one really knows but I can for sure tell you that's not just existing
10
Because you can exist for quite a long time without doing anything significant on the other hand
11
And if you do more stuff, go to more places, and meet more people, you will fill up your life progress bar faster.
12
So if you're not exactly sure what to do with your life, or what dream you want to go after, the easy solution is to just do more life.
13
And you'll probably come to some kind of answer much faster
14
than someone who's just waiting for an answer to come to them.
15
Bro, that's a cop-out answer.
16
How?
17
You can't just say it's easy actually and then be like, oh just figure it out yourself.
18
That's literally a cop-out answer.
19
Well actually I think that almost any other singular one-sentence answer would have been a cop-out.
20
Like, follow your dreams and never give up.
21
For some people, that's all you need to hear and you'd stop
22
and know exactly what to do and you'd go be a CEO
23
or something and donate to charity and lock people inside burning buildings for entertainment and live happily ever after.
24
For other people, following your dreams and never giving up is just bad advice.
25
Like if you're 5'8 and exceptionally good at physics but your dream is to play in the NBA, you maybe have a 1 in a million chance of doing it.
26
In 999,999 cases, you will start training 6 hours a day, wear down your kneecaps, tear your ACL,
27
and give up a stable income just for a chance at maybe getting into the Japanese league.
28
But if you had just continued what you were already good at, you know, researching rocket science or something, you probably would have had a happier life.
29
if it wasn't necessarily your dream.
30
Thank you, Hank Green.
31
Some people will be happier going all in on their dreams.
32
Other people will be happier going all in on something they already have the tools to do.
33
It's your job to figure out where you are on this line.
34
But that's not to discourage you from your dreams, because there's actually a really famous video of a Carnegie Mellon computer science professor named Randy Pausch,
35
who at age 47 got diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and he got to give one last lecture to a room full of students knowing
36
that he only had six months to live.
37
So he goes over how, as a child, he had about six specific dreams.
38
Some of them were big, some of them were impossible, and others were pretty achievable.
39
But in one way or another, he got to achieve, or mostly achieve, all six of them.
40
Not only is it pretty entertaining to listen to, but it also just goes to show how achieving stuff early in your life will teach you lessons
41
that will make you better at achieving more stuff later.
42
And before you know it, one day you look back and you've got like a whole Wikipedia article's worth of achievements.
43
By the way, I know this is already a long lecture to watch, but if you ever find a 1 hour 15 minute video with 21 million views,
44
that means there's got to be something valuable in there.
45
Even later, Randy Pausch actually wrote a book called The Last Lecture, where he basically wrote you an entire guide to achieving your dreams and how he applied it to his life.
46
And I know you might have tuned out when I said the word book, At least I tuned myself out when I said it, but lucky for us, there's actually a full guide to the book condensed
47
and summarized with an expert analysis on an app called Shortform, today's sponsor.
48
For basically any non-fiction book you've ever wanted to read, Shortform has a condensed full guide to that book,
49
which you can start reading with literally two or three clicks on your computer or two or three taps on your phone.
50
This is like a treasure trove of knowledge that is such good value for what you get out of it.
51
Like, I've been using this for over a year and a half, and as someone who used to watch hours and hours of YouTube slop and call it learning, I can now actually pick whatever topic I want
52
and read a full guide to a book on that topic at any instant.
53
Shortform is the reason I found this book in the first place.
54
In fact, it's actually how I discover most books these days, because they add new ones every week, and you can choose pretty much any category you want.
55
If you want to try it yourself, right now you can sign up for their 5-day free trial using the link shortform.com slash easy actually

That's shortform.com slash easy actually.

The link will be down below.
59
Alright then, so hopefully
60
so far I've prevented you from going down the standard human life crisis pathway
61
which after a bit of thinking I've realized is usually connected to Japan.
62
But of course it's a scary thought that eventually you'll have to pick one thing to do with your life, that thing usually being your career.
63
It's easy to have this idea that
64
when you pick your career by age 25 or something
65
that you'll just set up your entire life
66
and then ride it out in a simulation until the end with absolutely nothing you can change afterward.
67
But in reality there's a lot of things you can't just uproot your entire life to go
68
and do but at any time there is still an infinite number of possible things you can do.
69
Like maybe you have 50k in student loan debt to become a doctor
70
and you don't want to switch out of becoming one, you can still start making YouTube videos or get good at math while studying to be a doctor.
71
Once you realize that, you stop worrying about what to do with your life and you start thinking, well of all the possible things I could do today, what do I want to do?
72
So there isn't just one singular two step guide that you can follow to live a good life.
73
That's like trying to draw an owl in two steps.
74
You can't.
75
I mean you can draw a pretty good owl with practice
76
and time but it's just misleading to try and fit it into two steps.
77
So is that it?
78
No, there's actually two more things I learned thanks to this video.
79
Number one, floss and wear sunscreen.
80
This advice isn't really about the floss or the sunscreen, but it's more about realizing that you will get older.
81
And the things you do now are deciding the fate of the older you, especially health-wise.
82
Flossing and sunscreen are great examples because most people know you're supposed to do them, but you don't really feel any immediate benefit and especially when you're young,
83
your skin is fine and your teeth are healthy and it seems like it's going to be that way forever.
84
But the you in 30, 40, 50 years, that is who you wear sunscreen for.
85
Number two, keep an ongoing memoir of what you do and what you experience.
86
Not necessarily a journal, because in a journal you're supposed to write down your daily thoughts
87
and feelings and that is quite a lot of effort to be doing every day.
88
We've probably all tried it and given up on day two because it was the exact same entry as day one.
89
But with the memoir, you only really write down significant things that you do in your life, as well as significant events that happen to you, so that you always have a record of what you have done with your life.
90
And I'm not saying it has to be super detailed or even physical.
91
It could literally just be an inconspicuously titled Google Doc, written in white text starting on page 2 so
92
that nobody knows about it and no one can find it except you and your nearest Google data center.
93
If that helped, I'm collecting donations in the form of subscribes to fund the next video.

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。
