2
Your brain is divided into two halves.
3

11
You have foreman positive.
12
You have foreman negative.
13
Those are the two people in charge.
14
This is how it works.
15
You wake up in the morning and you say, "Man, man this... I'm having a bad day.
16
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed." The foreman on the negative evil side of your brain steps to the forefront and says, "Excuse me, what did you say?" I said, "I'm having a bad day.
17
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed." That foreman turns around, has a megaphone, makes an announcement to the millions of factory workers on the left side of the brain, the negative and evil side, and he says, "Hey, Steve's having a bad day this morning.
18
He woke up on the wrong side of the bed." They go, "Right away, Sir." They turn around and start manufacturing thoughts to justify you having bad day today.
19
I will produce everything you need to go with what you said.
20
That's what you're thinking, that's what it is.
21
And then your mind just starts going, "Yeah. We got up, I missed my alarm, I set the snooze button and now I got to get out in this rush hour traffic.
22
I got to go down here and see these people I don't even care about today.
23
I don't feel like, man, my electric toothbrush it ain't even charged up." (laughing) "Ain't no more damn toothpaste in this tube.
24
I rolled it all up." It just starts rolling.
25
On the other hand, if you wake up every morning and you say, "Thank you. I sure appreciate you, Lord.
26
Thank you for waking me up.
27
Today I expect to have another great day." That foreman comes to the front and says, "Excuse me, what did you just say?" "I said that I'm having a great day.
28
I want to thank you and I'm looking forward and I expect to have a great day." He says, "Right away." He turns around and gets that megaphone and says, "All right guys, Steve's having a great day.

このレッスンで学ぶこと

YouTubeで英語学習をするなら、このビデオは「考え方と言葉の力」をテーマにした実践的な教材です。ネイティブスピーカーの話し方、イントネーション、そしてポジティブ思考を表現するフレーズを学びながら、シャドーイングの練習に最適です。話者の熱意あふれるトーンを真似ることで、英語の発音を良くするだけでなく、自然なリズムも身につけられます。

重要な語彙とフレーズ

  • enrich my life:人生を豊かにする
  • foreman:職長、監督者(ビデオでは脳内の「司令塔」を指す比喩)
  • justify:正当化する、理由づける
  • setbacks:逆境、挫折
  • the road to success is always under construction:成功への道は常に工事進行中(成功には困難が伴うことの比喩)

シャドーイングの練習コツ

shadowspeak(シャドースピーク)や英語シャドーイングの練習には、まずビデオを数回聴いて全体の流れを把握しましょう。話者は速めのスピードで話しながらも、感情が豊かなので、イントネーションの上げ下げに注目してください。「I'm having a bad day」のようなネガティブなフレーズと「I expect to have a great day」のポジティブなフレーズのトーンの違いを比較して真似ると、発音だけでなくニュアンスも理解できます。最初はゆっくりと、1文ずつ話者の後を1~2秒遅れで追いかけるように練習し、慣れてきたらスピードを上げてみてください。繰り返し練習することで、自然な英語の発声が身につきます。

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。
