Morning.
2
Dwayne here, Dry Creek Wrangler School.
3
Let me ask you a question.
4
At what age should you have it all together?
5
At what age should you have it all figured out?
6
I get a lot of mostly young men on the channel, and they're from 17 to 35, 36, 39,
7
and they lament that they're at a place in their life and they don't have it figured out, and they don't have it all together.
8
and they wonder what's wrong with them because they don't have it figured out.
9
They don't have it all together.
10
Of course you don't have it all together.
11
You're not supposed to have it all together.
12
You're not expected to have it all together.
13
Anybody looks at you at 26, 27, 28 years old and says, hey man, what's wrong with you?
14
How come you don't have everything figured out?
15
They're a fool.
16
Knowledge and experience and wisdom takes time.
17
Wisdom comes from experience, and experience takes time.
18
The more experience you have, the more you learn from that experience, the wiser you can get.
19
If you haven't lived long enough to have a broad enough portfolio of experience, then you can't expect to have knowledge and wisdom.
20
We are told by society today, and it's inferred by movies and television programs,
21
that by the time you're 26 or 27, you should be graduated from college, you should have a degree, you should have a good job, you should have a wife, and you should have it together.
22
We watch these programs, and this movie, it's an hour and a half long, And within an hour and a half, a person goes from a goofed up teenager to someone who's just settled and got it all going on.
23
And they get the job.
24
They put their childhood bully in his place.
25
They get the girl.
26
Fade to black.
27
And we're left to imagine the rest of their life.
28
And what we imagine is left with the last thing that we see.
29
Man, they got it together.
30
Of course, we don't consider the fact that if you turn the TV off and watch the news, you'll see those same actors show up in the news again and again making stupid mistakes and they ain't got it together.
31
A pine tree grows and matures very fast.
32
An oak tree grows and matures very, very slow.
33
But which one lasts longer?
34
And which one is stronger?
35
Which one shelters more critters and more birds?
36
Which one, when it's done and over and it's cut down, which one is more valuable for the lumber?
37
People don't go out and say, I'm gonna spend extra money for some pine furniture.
38
They want oak furniture.
39
Um, there's a lot of sentiment expressed on the channel.
40
Um, boy, Duane, I sure wish, I wished you'd have been my dad.
41
No, you don't.
42
Um, no, you don't.
43
Um, there's sentiments expressed on there, expressed on there, um, that, you know, I'm flattered.
44
I'm flattered, but I know better.
45
I don't take it serious.
46
Nobody bursts from their mother's womb ready for the world.
47
Nobody bursts from their mother's womb aged and mature and wise.
48
And I'm not wise.
49
I'm not saying I'm wise.
50
I just say that happened.
51
That's why that happened.
52
So man, maybe we ought not do that.
53
I don't know.
54
To me, that's a kind of a, a shallow, easy definition of wisdom,
55
but I I'm 55 years old and I'm just now starting to get a little bit figured out.
56
there's a a song that ian tyson sings and if you like cowboy music and you're not familiar with ian tyson you
57
ought to look him up but he's got a song called the old double diamond and it's about an old cowboy
58
that the ranch he's worked on for years is getting sold and there's a a uh and he He says on there,
59
he said, when I first hired on to the old double diamond, I was a darn poor excuse for a man.
60
Yeah.
61
Mama's laughing back there.
62
I edited that for you.
63
It says, I never learned how to aim when the spirit was tame.
64
I couldn't see all the cards in my hand.
65
Well, son, a lot of what your difficulty is right now is you have not yet learned how to aim.
66
while the spirit is tame and you can't see all the cards in your hand it's not saying the cards aren't there
67
it's just you haven't matured enough to see them and there will come a time you keep going and you keep learning and you
68
keep growing uh that one day you'll look down and the card you needed was there and it's been there all along but that ain't gonna come for a while
69
and my encouragement to you is stop being so hard on yourself you know one of the
70
things i have um encouraged my wife in for years and she's a
71
very natural mother all right and she has a natural tendency to take
72
care of people and to worry about stuff and i've had to tell her over the years, look, that's not your burden to carry.
73
That's not your burden to carry.
74
You have enough burdens at your young age that are rightfully yours for you
75
to worry about carrying that you don't need to worry about carrying the burdens that are going to come when you're 50 or 55 or 60.
76
You can't even begin to think about having things figured out and having it together until you're in your 50s.
77
Just don't even worry about it.
78
Just don't even worry about it.
79
You've got to have maturity.
80
And maturity comes with time.
81
And maturity is not something that you can gin up artificially.
82
is not something that you can be responsible for, for not being ginned up artificially.
83
You don't even know what I have to do.
84
You have to live.
85
You just have to live.
86
You just have to live.
87
You just have to act your age.
88
If you're 26, be 26.
89
Stop trying to be 56.
90
It's not expected, and it's a burden that you don't have to carry.
91
You're a young couple, and you're going through some things, and you're like, man, we must be the worst couple in the world.
92
We must be the worst um
93
married folks out there this has got to be man we just ain't got it of course you ain't got it figured out when you hit 30
94
you still ain't 30 years of marriage you still ain't gonna have it all figured out my wife and I are still trying to figure stuff out
95
um and we just take it as it comes and we learn and we mature and we grow and it takes time but you'll not get there if you quit
96
fellas you'll not get there if you quit if you just say forget it you know i just i can't be the man that i wanted
97
to be well of course you're not right now you will not be the man that you want to be until you grow into it you have to grow into it so the whole point of this video
98
is just to encourage you, chill out, man.
99
Just chill.
100
You guys that are contacting me and saying, man, I got a degree and I just lost this job.
101
Listen, and I'm not making light of it, okay?
102
Let me just put it in perspective, all right?
103
I've got five grandbabies.
104
Now, one of those grandbabies is,
105
let's say that grandbaby is 14 months old and they're learning to walk okay and so they're kind of they're just in a diaper you've seen
106
it you know they're just in the diaper and they're going across the kitchen floor to mama and they're kind of weaving a little bit and
107
that their little fat feet and their little fat thighs are just kind of thunk thunk thunk and all of a sudden
108
they're like oh oh and they got the bubble butt out here the bubble stubby tummy out here and they got the big old diaper in the back so they're not balanced
109
all right and so they lose their balance and they're like oh oh oh bam and they fall down and land flat on their butt
110
and they look shocked and they look surprised and then their face screws up and they start crying bloody murder
111
that's the worst thing that has ever happened to them in their life it's like it's like a disaster of apocalyptic proportions because it's all they've ever known
112
and you've just gone through a breakup and it's the worst thing you've ever been through and
113
it's a disaster of apocalyptic proportions because you haven't had the time and the experience yet to develop
114
worse and to turn around and look at that in relation to the realities of a long life well lived and one day you're going to try and look back and you're going to say
115
that really wasn't such a disaster and in fact that was probably the best thing ever happened to me some of you
116
you lost your job and you thought that job was it and it was a good paying job and you went four years
117
of college in order to get the degree to get that job then you got the job and then COVID happened and or layoffs and different stuff and now all of a sudden you lost that job.
118
It's the worst thing you've ever been through.
119
And so all of a sudden you're sitting there and you're thinking, man, I thought my life was together.
120
Now it's in shambles at my feet.
121
No, it's not.
122
No, it's not.
123
It's not.
124
It's all right.
125
It's all right.
126
You're not supposed to have it together.
127
All right.
128
Those who go to college, get out of college, get a job and stay in that job until they retire, then retire and buy property down in Florida.
129
That's an anomaly.
130
That's not normal.
131
It happens, but it's an anomaly.
132
Uh, and, uh, and most of those people, you know, they might be really good people, but they ain't got cool stories to tell and you don't get wisdom.
133
You don't get wisdom past a certain point by living that life.
134
Okay?
135
So,
136
two or three years ago i uh i made a whole series of really really bad decisions
137
really bad decisions um and uh and it brought me to the point at 50 over 50 over 50 where i was like
138
I ain't got it together.
139
I'm not mature.
140
I'm not grown.
141
I'm not the man I'm supposed to be.
142
And I started working on it.
143
And the man that I am today, the father that I would be today, if children were to come along today, that's not the man I was before.
144
And that's not the father I could have been before.
145
Okay?
146
A blade does not become strong.
147
It does not become tempered.
148
until it's been through the fire.
149
Until it's been through the fire several times.
150
And this is just your first or second time through the fire.
151
And there's a lot of hammer work that has to take place.
152
And then you're going to have to go back in the forge again.
153
And it's hot.
154
And it melts you down.
155
And you're uncomfortable.
156
And then life is going to pull you out.
157
And it's going to put you on anvil.
158
And it's going to hammer on you some more.
159
And you're going to say, well, am I done yet?
160
Am I sword for the ages?
161
Uh, no.
162
No, you're not.
163
You're not done yet.
164
Alright?
165
So just chill.
166
Just chill.
167
Continue to have fun.
168
Now, by fun, I'm not recommending you go out, drink your brains out at the bar and do something stupid, but my goodness, go hunting, go fishing, get a mountain bike, go hiking, go to the gym,
169
go hang out around a barbecue fire with friends and just act silly and act goofy and be your age.
170
Be your age and just embrace the process.
171
And don't look for what you are supposed to be fully, completely polished, sharpened, edged, tempered at 26 or 36 at 46.
172
You've got a lot more forge time left.
173
you've got a lot more hammer blows left.
174
And it takes time.
175
But if you will patiently embrace the process, then by the time you get up in years, you can be a man that you're proud of.
176
Okay?
177
So this is just an encouragement to just chill out.
178
Just chill out.
179
Embrace the process.
180
You say, Duane, what process?
181
Life.
182
life.
183
Embrace the journey and the process of life.
184
You only get stronger hiking by going uphill.
185
Nobody gets stronger hiking by just going downhill.
186
Alright?
187
Alright.
188
I'm going to get in trouble here if I don't do this.
189
Eric Stockaby, fourth generation and Aberrant.
190
This is my first 10 of this and it's actually Rustica,
191
which is a very old tobacco and it's a pretty heavyweight tobacco mixed with Sweet Virginia and a little bit of Darkfire Kentucky, which I'm very fond of.
192
It's a very robust, very interesting, very flavorful mixture.
193
But if you are a, what's the word I want?
194
Aromatic smoker, it's probably not going to be for you.
195
But that's what we got going on here.
196
So, again, guys and gals, just hang in there.
197
I'm rooting for you.
198
and we'll catch you guys next time.

練習のコツ
このビデオのスピードやトーンに合わせて、英語のシャドーイングを行うことをお勧めします。まずは、shadowspeakの技法を使って、話者の音声に合わせてすぐに声に出す練習をしてみてください。話すスピードはゆっくり始め、自分のペースで徐々に速めていくと良いでしょう。特に、時々休憩をとりながら内容を理解し、発音をクリアにすることに集中してください。この方法は、英語スピーキング練習において非常に効果的です。自分の声録音し、後で自分の発音と比較することで、さらなる改善点を見つけることも可能です。
また、YouTubeで英語学習をする際は、短いセクションごとに区切って練習するのも良い方法です。これにより、特定のフレーズや文がどのように使われるかをより深く理解できます。特に、社会の期待についての部分では、自分自身の経験に照らし合わせて声に出してみることで、より身近に感じることができます。
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。
