1
Ugly action beats perfection.
2
What does that mean?
3
Let's take a look at this.
4
Why do we wait for perfection before acting?
5
Say it like that.
6
Repeat after me.
7
Why do we wait for perfection before acting?
8
Why do we wait for the moment to be perfect before we do something?
9
or let's restate it like this.
10
Why do we often hold back until everything seems perfect before taking action?
11
Again, why do we often hold back until everything seems perfect, before taking action?
12
Again, say that with me.
13
Why do we often hold back until everything seems perfect, before taking action?
14
All right, did you say that with me?
15
Let me ask you something.
16
Let me.
17
Let me becomes, you know, let me.
18
Let me ask you something.
19
Let me ask you something.
20
Have you ever had a goal, a dream, or even a small idea,
21
but never actually started because you were waiting for the perfect moment This is everybody, me included.
22
Say it with me.
23
Have you ever had a goal, a dream, or even a small idea,
24
but never actually started because you were waiting for the perfect moment?
25
Maybe you told yourself, maybe you told yourself this, I'll start when I feel ready.
26
4. I'll take action once everything is in place and I know exactly what to do.
27
5. I'll take action once everything is in place.
28
6. And I know what to do.
29
That's wouldn't happen.
30
6. I'll start when I feel ready,
31
or I'll take action once everything is in place and I know exactly what to do. But here's the truth.
32
Oh no, truth bomb incoming.
33
We say that sometimes.
34
Ooh, that's a truth bomb.
35
That's when a truth hits you hard.
36
It's a truth bomb.
37
Here comes the truth bomb.
38
That perfect moment never really comes.
39
Perfection is an illusion.
40
That perfect moment never really comes.
41
Perfection is an illusion.
42
Perfection is an illusion.
43
And while you're waiting for it, time keeps quietly moving forward.
44
And while you're waiting for it, time keeps quietly moving forward.
45
Think about it for a second.
46
Think about it.
47
Think about it for a second.
48
How many chances have you ever...
49
Oh, sorry, it doesn't say have you ever.
50
Let me try again.
51
How many chances have you missed because you were waiting for the right conditions?
52
I don't know.
53
Because I never tried, so I don't know if I missed a chance or not.
54
Because I didn't do anything.
55
Because I was waiting for the right conditions.
56
Alright, let's say that together.
57
How many chances have you missed because you were waiting for the right conditions?
58
Again, how many chances have you missed because you were waiting for the right conditions?
59
How many times have you planned,
60
prepared, researched, or thought about something for so long that you never actually did it?
61
I do that all the time.
62
How many times have you planned, prepared, researched, or thought about something for so long that you never actually did it?
63
Let's say that together one more time.
64
How many times have you planned, prepared, researched, or thought about something for so long that you never actually did it?
65
You never, yeah, yeah, yeah, never actually did it, did it, did it.
66
The reality is that life rewards action, not waiting.
67
That's the reality.
68
Life rewards action takers.
69
It doesn't reward people who wait.
70
The reality is that life rewards action, not waiting.
71
And action doesn't need to be pretty.
72
In fact, it's often ugly, awkward, and full of mistakes.
73
Action doesn't need to be perfect, perfect, or pretty.
74
Action doesn't need to be pretty.
75
In fact, it's often ugly, awkward, and full of mistakes.
76
you'll stumble you'll backtrack and you'll get things wrong or maybe you won't because you're perfect well other people will
77
I'm just kidding you will you'll stumble you'll backtrack if you backtrack you go backwards and you'll get things wrong. But here's the key.
78
Those imperfect, clumsy steps will always take you farther than the most beautiful plan that stays only in your head. That is poetic.
79
Let's say it again.
80
Those imperfect, clumsy steps will always take you further than the most beautiful plan that stays only in your head.
81
I paused there at this word because I said further, and this is spelled more like farther, will take you farther.
82
But people pronounce it further.
83
Further, farther.
84
I should have researched this before I started making this video.
85
I'm confused.
86
Further, farther.
87
It's further.
88
Further feels like it's natural.
89
Okay, let's go with that.
90
This is future chat.
91
I just finished making the video and then I looked it up.
92
The question between further and farther.
93
This is the answer.
94
Use farther for measurable physical distances, like he ran farther than anyone else.
95
He ran three miles.
96
He ran 10 kilometers farther.
97
Although a lot of Americans, they use further in both situations.
98
We'll get to that.
99
And further is used for metaphorical distance, time, or degree.
100
So further research is needed.
101
So you need more research, further research. So it's metaphorical.
102
In our situation, we're talking about our dreams, our goals.
103
So further is the correct one to use in our situation.
104
This is what it also said.
105
While often interchangeable, they can be changed, they can be switched.
106
farther implies literal distance and further implies an extension or additional amount.
107
Alright, so anyways, back to the lesson.
108
Those imperfect, clumsy steps will always take you further than the most beautiful plan that stays only in your head.
109
Ugly action moves you.
110
perfection just keeps you dreaming.
111
If you want perfection, you're just going to keep dreaming.
112
But if you want to move, make progress, you've got to take some ugly action.
113
You've got to do an imperfect something.
114
Take ugly action.
115
I like that.
116
I take ugly action every day.
117
That is why English Coach Chad is almost at a million subscribers on YouTube.
118
I can't believe it.
119
Holy cow.
120
I have been taking ugly action for many, many years.
121
And now I'm going to have a million subscribers on YouTube.
122
That's just amazing.
123
All right, I'm sidelined.
124
I'm off the track.
125
Let's keep moving forward.
126
Oh, that was it.
127
That was it.
128
Okay.
129
Let's take some ugly, imperfect action.
130
Do you want to take some ugly, imperfect action with me?
131
Let's shadow this.
132
Let's try to do it nonstop.
133
See if we can make a lot of mistakes as we go along.
134
Here we go.
135
Why do we wait for perfection before acting?
136
Why do we often hold back until everything seems perfect before taking action?
137
Let me ask you something.
138
Have you ever had a goal, a dream, or even a small idea, but never actually started because you were waiting for the perfect moment?
139
Maybe you told yourself, I'll start when I feel ready,
140
or I'll take action once everything is in place and I know exactly what to do. But here's the truth.
141
The perfect moment never really comes.
142
Perfection is an illusion.
143
And while you're waiting for it, time keeps quietly moving forward.
144
Think about it for a second.
145
How many chances have you missed because you were waiting for the right conditions?
146
How many times have you planned,
147
prepared, researched, or thought about something for so long that you never actually did it?
148
The reality is that life rewards action, not waiting.
149
And action doesn't need to be pretty.
150
In fact, it's often ugly, awkward, and full of mistakes.
151
You'll stumble, you'll backtrack, and you'll get things wrong.
152
But here's the key.
153
Those imperfect, clumsy steps will always take you further than the most beautiful plan that stays only in your head.
154
ugly action moves you perfection just keeps you dreaming
155
and that's it we did it boom we took some ugly
156
action we did a workout way to go keep moving forward
157
keep practicing one step at a time i'll see you in the next english speaking practice video

日常の「完璧主義」にぶつかるシチュエーション

YouTubeで英語学習をする際、よく「完璧な時」を待って行動を遅らせてしまうことがありませんか?このビデオのダイアログは、「完璧より行動」という考えをめぐり、誰もが経験する「行動のハードル」をリアルに描いています。目標があるのに「準備が足りない」「タイミングが悪い」と思い、なかなか始められない…そんな日常の葛藤を英語で表現する練習は、IELTS スピーキング対策にも役立つ実践的な内容です。

覚えておきたいフレーズ&コロケーション

  • hold back:「ためらう」「引っ込み思案になる」。例:Why do we often hold back until everything seems perfect?(なぜ私たちはすべてが完璧に見えるまでためらうのでしょうか?)
  • perfect moment:「完璧な瞬間」。例:waiting for the perfect moment(完璧な瞬間を待つ)
  • truth bomb:「衝撃的な真実」。口語的な表現で、相手に強く印象づける時に使います。
  • ugly action:「不格好な行動」。完璧でなくてもいいからとにかく動くことを強調するフレーズです。
  • reward action:「行動を報いる」。例:Life rewards action, not waiting.(人生は待つことではなく行動を報いるのです)

さあ、シャドーイングチャレンジ!

英語シャドーイングの基本は「即時模倣」。このビデオのダイアログを使って、shadowspeak(シャドースピーク)の練習をしましょう。まずはビデオを1文ずつ再生し、発音・イントネーション・リズムをそのまま真似て繰り返します。特に「ugly action beats perfection」のような短いフレーズは、速さを合わせて何度も練習しましょう。次に、3文ずつまとめて再生し、間を空けずに追って話すことで「即応力」を養います。完璧に話せなくても大丈夫!不格好な行動こそが上達の近道です。

この練習は、単なる発音練習以上に「英語で思考する習慣」をつけるのにも効果的です。YouTubeで英語学習をする際は、ただ見るだけでなく「声に出す」ことが大切です。ぜひ今日からシャドーイングを始めて、「完璧主義」を脱却しましょう!

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。
