レッスンを作成中...
1
okay um hi guys welcome back to my channel sorry I haven't been posting
2
but there is something that I really want to talk about today and like always I make these videos for myself
3
but at the same time also for you guys, but mainly for myself because this is something that I want to look back on and, I don't know, to watch when I'm feeling a little...
4
unmotivated but this is just something that um I feel like I knew this, like I knew what it meant, this phrase, but I didn't,
5
it wasn't, I wasn't practicing it.
6
And so something that I want to tell you guys as well is the fact that...
7
Society rewards audacity.
8
They don't reward potential.
9
Okay, so I'm sure that a lot of us like when you see things
10
you're like oh this person's like not even that great at something that i want to do
11
or i can do this so much better But that's like the biggest difference of them all.
12
the biggest difference is that they had the audacity to do it.
13
Okay, that's like the only difference between you and that person that you're you know looking at
14
And the fact is that they started, you can always be saying I can do so much
15
but I can do so much about it and truth is yes maybe you can do it so much better, but when you do not do something,
16
there's nothing there there's just nothing and I think it's very important for us to accept the fact that
17
you can do things bad and i think that
18
when we are constantly chasing after perfection you know like this has to be perfect this has to be perfect
19
i think that's a really bad mindset because
20
I don't think like you try to aim for perfection or to aim
21
to do things the best of the best is bad but a lot of times when you're thinking like that It's.
22
- You don't really act because you're worried.
23
You're like what if this is not perfect?
24
What if this is not perfect?
25
But you need to understand that with every single thing there is a day one, okay?
26
Every single thing that you want to do there has to be a day one.
27
If there's no day one, you're never.. how does the things even progress, you know?
28
And you need to know that
29
you'll have a draft one your draft 100 will be a lot better
30
and the thing is that you cannot compare against time okay
31
when you compare yourself to certain people you have to know that maybe they have One year of experience, five years of experience, a decade worth of experience.
32
two decades worth of experience, you cannot compare yourself to that, right?
33
But the amazing thing is the fact that you have a lot of resources, okay?
34
You have all sorts of resources that you need.
35
Because the thing is that let's say that you want to become, you want to engineer a certain app.
36
You want to engineer, I don't know, like a food delivery app, okay?
37
It's amazing because you see all sorts of apps, food delivery apps.
38
Everywhere right and the things that you can learn from that you can be like oh, this is what they did really well This is what they
39
need to improve on This is what they did really well
40
and this is something that they can improve on you have
41
so many resources and everything that's public you can learn from their mistakes and you can see what they are good at, and you can apply that to yourself as well.
42
You know, because the thing is that you know, i feel like Um...
43
I feel like sometimes
44
when you want to do something you might be like well I can't do it as good as XYZ, I can't do it as good as you know someone else and the thing is that Ahhhh.
45
I remember the first time I heard someone said this to me, they were like, "well no one can be you" I didn't get what the fuck they meant,
46
I was like, "that doesn't really make sense" but it comes from a sense of confidence and confidence takes time to develop.
47
It's really hard to think that way when you're not very confident because you're like, "I don't bring anything to the table, like I don't understand" but
48
when you get more used to yourself and
49
when you get more comfortable in your abilities and also more confident in your abilities
50
that's when you're gonna be like okay like
51
I have what it takes like I it's like and the thing is that You can't take inspos from other things, right?
52
But you shouldn't try to aim to become them.
53
You shouldn't aim to become, and you become exactly like that person or exactly like that person.
54
You need to become a more...
55
realistic version of yourself and sometimes genuinely all you need to do is to have a vision
56
and fucking believe it okay that's all you have at the end of the day especially
57
if you're like trying to do something
58
that is extremely out of your comfort zone you're like okay this is like extremely you know, I don't know if I can do this, but if it's something that, if it makes you wake up and it makes you feel like,
59
good, like it makes me feel alive maybe that is the point, you know?
60
Because I think that if you are feeling very comfortable, like if you're not even feeling nervous or not feeling scared, okay.
61
That just means you're comfortable and you're perfectly capable, right?
62
But if you're feeling...
63
kind of uncomfortable and you feel a little scared, you feel a little worried, that just means that's like
64
you're in the perfect position because that just means
65
that you're not used to this this is something that's going to make you evolve, okay?
66
that just means that this is the right timing.
67
okay because if it was If it did make you comfortable, then maybe you're starting a little too late.
68
So if you're feeling uncomfortable, that just means that you're at the perfect place okay? that is Just something I also want to tell you guys.
69
- Yeah.
70
And especially as women um especially when society is constantly telling us to be small to just Mmm, don't take up too much space,
71
like don't dream big, like just fuck that, fuck that, fuck that, fuck that, fuck that.
72
Always dream bigger than yourself, okay?
73
Dream bigger than yourself.
74
If you have a dream, Take that vision and run with it.
75
Just run with that shit, okay?
76
Because like, you don't anything in life let me tell you As a 25 year old,
77
I've done a lot of things where people don't really believe in me and that made me feel shit.
78
It made me feel like, "hmm, yeah." But at the end of the day, I am living my life.
79
Why do I need other people to believe in me when at the end, if I live a good life, it's only benefiting me?
80
So honestly I don't really care if you are supporting me or not.
81
because at the end I'm gonna be the one benefiting from this.
82
Like of course if I'm not gonna succeed
83
in certain things then yeah but How the fuck can I not succeed when I'm a crazy ass bitch?
84
Sometimes it's like you genuinely just have to view yourself
85
as a not like i was gonna say like view yourself as a crazy ass bitch
86
but that's not what i want to say but genuinely like for me a lot of times like
87
Of course it crosses my mind, like, what if something doesn't work out?
88
What if that turns out for the worst?
89
You know, I'm sure we all think like that.
90
But you are not your thoughts, you know what I mean?
91
Like these days, as I mentioned in my vlogs, I say that nowadays, like when I have bad thoughts, I literally just scream.
92
Like I literally just like, I am not my thoughts.
93
Like literally, I'll just be dead silent.
94
Like I'll just be on the sofa and I'll just be scrolling, like doom scrolling.
95
Please don't doom scroll.
96
Doom scrolling is so bad, y 'all.
97
Like it's so bad.
98
I need to fix that.
99
- I would literally just scream in the middle.
100
I would just be like, I know my thoughts.
101
And you know what?
102
It fucking helps.
103
Sue me, it fucking helps.
104
I'm like, okay, like...
105
And it's true, right?
106
Sometimes when I think, oh, I doubt myself, I doubt that.
107
but you are not your thoughts, those are just some truth of thoughts
108
And we all know that truth is that when it really comes down to it, okay?
109
Because sometimes it's just so much worse in your head than it actually is.
110
Because if you truly want something and you really want it, that means it is achievable because when other people have it, how fucking
111
impossible can it be for you to have it too
112
if someone someone else already has it you know what i mean And the thing is that we, what if it, like if you think like, oh, what if I don't achieve it?
113
What if it doesn't work out?
114
it looks so bad, it looks so bad in your mind, but truth is that in reality, okay, knowing the crazy bitch you are, if it doesn't work out,
115
you're gonna make it work out.
116
Yeah, it's just that simple because it's like, how can it be bad when you're the one doing it.
117
You know?
118
You know?
119
It's like Sometimes I think we need to just really believe in our abilities because especially you know, like coming from someone like me,
120
like I I don't want to say I'm - I don't think I'm a perfectionist.
121
Like I think I've gotten to the point where like I'm - I'm okay with starting with something and it's shit.
122
Because there's always room to improve and as time goes on I tell myself like, Like you know, cause like the thing is that time is always passing, okay?
123
Five years from now, I'm gonna be 30.
124
It's either a movie 30 with...
125
You know, let's say.. let's say...
126
let's say...
127
let's say I wanna create...
128
what is it?
129
I wanna open a coffee shop, okay?
130
I'm 25 now, okay, this is an example.
131
I'm either gonna turn 30 with a coffee shop or without a coffee shop.
132
Either way I'm gonna be 30 and either way five years is gonna pass from now.
133
you make the decision, alright?
134
that's it and then when i think about things like that, and the thing is that a lot of people, okay a lot of people don't really know what the fuck they're doing.
135
Okay.
136
A lot of things like you see, like, like people who create things like you can see like they're at like the peak of their life.
137
You're like, Oh my God, like, - I don't know, like he's a certain - I mean, I don't know, what's a good example?
138
Like, oh my god, this is like a Michelin Guide restaurant, you know?
139
But truth is that they started somewhere.
140
They started somewhere in the goddamn fucking kitchen and Maybe they were just doing dishes.
141
They did not know what they were doing.
142
When they picked up the knife, they did not know what they were doing.
143
You know?
144
They did not know how to run a fucking restaurant.
145
They don't know how to...
146
I don't know.
147
Skin of fish.
148
I don't fucking know.
149
I But there's just there's But I took experience.
150
It might have taken a decade, it might have taken two decades, and now they're here.
151
Time is gonna pass no matter what.
152
And you need to believe that when time passes, you are going to improve with it, okay?
153
But the thing is that you need to drop your ego, and you need to accept that, you are gonna improve, okay?
154
You cannot - you can get as close as possible.
155
I'm not saying that it's impossible, but you can try to get - ask - let's say you want to be a famous chef, right?
156
You can try to get as close as you can to someone who is who has a decade worth of experience.
157
Your day one could maybe match up to a decade worth of experience compared to that famous chef, whatever.
158
But the thing is that they have a lot of resources that you do not.
159
And the thing is that you cannot beat yourself over it.
160
All you have at the end of the fucking day is a vision.
161
and trust me when I say this, when you have a vision, you are unstoppable, okay?
162
Because generally in life a vision is all you got, okay?
163
Especially if you're starting from day one, okay?
164
You have to believe, like literally believe in that vision, okay?
165
Nothing can sway you, okay?
166
And yes, there are going to be a lot of things that you're gonna be like, "Oh, well this sucks, that sucks, like, everything is working against me." but you do it tired,
167
you do it scared, and a lot of things, let me tell you guys, There's not going to be a right moment, okay?
168
when you see, I don't know, like if you see like a rainbow, you're gonna be like, "Oh, that's my sign." No!
169
you made that your sign.
170
You know what I mean?
171
There's not gonna be a right moment for you to go for what you want, okay?
172
Because the thing is that your friend is not gonna give you a sign, your parents are not gonna give you a sign, your family members are not gonna give you a sign, it is literally you.
173
who's gonna give you a sign, okay?
174
It's literally gonna be maybe someday you just wake up in the middle of the night and be like, "Yeah, fuck it, I'm gonna do it." You're gonna do it scared.
175
And a lot of things in life, you do it scared.
176
A lot of things that's going to change your life, you don't do it comfortable.
177
You have to do it scared.
178
that's how you achieve something bigger than yourself, okay?
179
That's why a lot of people don't go for that because nobody likes to feel The feeling of fear.
180
And risk, there's a lot of risk involved, right?
181
and when you tell people, you know, it's like It may be from someone else's perspective.
182
They might be oh, yeah, that just makes sense for yourself, but you don't see that and Because you don't see yourself from an outside person's perspective, right?
183
but some other people might view you as a very capable person
184
and when you say that you want to achieve certain things they'll be like "oh yeah, you can totally do it" or they might not believe in you
185
but personally for me I think that haters are your biggest believers.
186
There's a reason why they hate on you because they see the untapped potential that you have, okay?
187
So I'm just saying. But um. So I think that
188
consistency is very important and you just have to really believe in yourself and Sometimes I feel like if you wake up,
189
If you wake up feeling like you don't have a purpose, you feel like shit.
190
I'm not saying that in life you have to have a purpose
191
but I generally do think that when you feel like you have a purpose and something that excites you,
192
it makes life Worth living like it makes it makes you like like literally it just makes everything look like rainbows,
193
you know things don't look so lifeless and colorless and when you have something that
194
you know when you're trying to evolve into a different version of yourself
195
Truly it makes you feel alive like truly it gets you going so
196
maybe take that as a sign like if you wake up
197
and you feel like oh this shit again like it was the same shit every single day
198
maybe that is your sign that you need to do something different.
199
Okay.
200
And doing that something different is going to take a lot and I'm not saying it's easy.
201
Okay.
202
I'm not saying it's easy because, um, Because once again, I say it so many times that I feel like I don't even need to say it anymore,
203
which is the fact that we all deal with the cards we're given, and there's no use sitting here and complaining about it because it doesn't change the cards that we have.
204
you know and yeah maybe sometimes you have to run twice as long to get to
205
to get to somewhere compared to another person.
206
It just depends on how badly you want it.
207
are you willing to do that? you know? and yeah, we can all sit here and complain and complain and complain but that's to me, I feel like that's a waste of time.
208
I don't like complaining about things because I'm like, it doesn't fix things.
209
Like yeah, shitty situation fucking sucks but gotta fucking go, time is ticking, we gotta fucking go, you know? So...
210
There's a lot of things in life that, you know, kind of sucks.
211
And it's also just like, I do just want to remind yourself.
212
everyone that people that you look up to, I think that's special on social media, people always put like the best parts of their life out, right?
213
There's a lot of things you do not see behind the camera, really, there's a lot of things you do not see coming from Content creator myself, you know and as much real is that they show you okay?
214
There's a lot of things that you do not see okay?
215
So don't put people on a pedestal don't be oh my gosh.
216
She has her life so fucking easy.
217
Yes, I It's almost as if they want you to think that.
218
Yeah, it's almost like they want you to see that, right?
219
so I think that when we humanize other people it's it it i personally think
220
that it validates me in a way like we're all kind of just in this together
221
you know it makes you feel like you're not as alone
222
because what you're struggling with they probably do too you know and i don't think that
223
like yes some people again i say this all the time some people have certain privileges right
224
but we also just have to realize that people have their own difficulties that you do not see. So... and
225
And I think that we all just need to allow ourselves
226
to have a day one okay you need to have a day one to progress okay
227
and when you do something don't let you being bad at something not stop you from doing something.
228
okay you need to realize that If you have a vision, That's your sign.
229
That's your go.
230
That's your green light, right?
231
But I think that um and trust me and you'll be like "I'm not fitted for this, I'm not fitted for that, I don't deserve to do..." No, babe.
232
No. If...
233
Have the audacity. Be shameless.
234
Be fucking shameless.
235
Have the audacity.
236
and don't care what people think.
237
Because at the end of the day, you're gonna be six feet under the ground, alone.
238
Who cares what people think?
239
Who cares what people think?
240
you know? like you're gonna die at the end okay? literally that's how i view everything Time is gonna pass, your body is gonna become frail,
241
frail, I can't even say the word, weaker and weaker.
242
Um, you're not gonna be as young as right now.
243
I don't wanna say this to stress you out, but that's just, I just wanna tell you the reality of time is that it's gonna be passing.
244
Okay, it's gonna be passing.
245
Okay.
246
and so take take this moment take this moment
247
and treat it as yours because at the end we're all dying like you know like you're put on this earth
248
you're gonna die.
249
Like, I don't mean to like, you know.
250
So make the most out of it.
251
Make the most out of it.
252
You make a mistake, you learn from it.
253
Especially for my girlies who are super young.
254
I'm not saying that when you're older, like, you know, like you can't start something new.
255
Yes, you can, but I assume that most of you guys are probably around like in their 20s, teens, whatever, 30s, like You're young fucking do it, just fucking do it, you know?
256
And it's like, yeah, people might make fun of you, people might talk shit about you, But like...
257
That's also just the whole process of this stupid thing, you know what I mean?
258
I personally believe that we're put on this earth to experience things and and every single time, even when you make a mistake,
259
I think that is a way to improve, because that's just you learning.
260
I think learning is a very valuable thing
261
and when you make a mistake that just means that you're gonna do it better okay?
262
A mistake is good okay?
263
A mistake is good because you know what not to do now.
264
And so you're only going to get closer to the right direction, right?
265
But a mistake is not good when you do not learn from it.
266
That's when it's really bad.
267
That's when it's going to you know, be negative towards you.
268
But if you can learn from it, that's better than not having a mistake at all because now you are just closer.
269
It, it, it, you know, they show you an X on a certain path and now you know you don't go through there.
270
Okay, because if you didn't have a mistake, then in the future you might make that mistake Okay, and I think it's much better to make the mistake earlier on than later on.
271
right so making a mistake is fine that's just part of the process
272
and you need to view things like this I think sometimes it's just a lot worse in our fucking head
273
than in reality, right?
274
you could - but of course you have to try to make the best decision every time, but um you know, but one second I always say this,
275
you're young Whatever whatever, you know, so this is why a lot of people they do things when they're like older,
276
you know, like they do crazy things like when they're in their 30s and 40s.
277
Because I think when you get to a certain age, like society deems it as like, oh, you're mature, you can do it.
278
But I think it's also because like they develop that sort of confidence in themselves, like, you know, like, that whatever they do, they need to deal with the consequences. But...
279
I think that it's not as common compared to when people are younger because
280
Um I think it's made because your brain is not fully developed.
281
Yeah.
282
But I just want to make this video for those of you guys who...
283
just want to do something new and the thing is that you do not own
284
You do not need to be stuck with a certain version of yourself.
285
You're allowed to constantly evolve into different versions of yourself, okay?
286
That is true freedom.
287
That is literally freedom in who you are.
288
You do not need to be...
289
a certain person forever, okay?
290
You can literally wake up tomorrow and be like, I'm gonna be this person.
291
Yeah, period.
292
Period. Who cares?
293
And people who judge you, okay?
294
maybe they're just not meant to be in your life, and yeah maybe some people need to take a bit of adjusting but
295
the true people who are going to be in your life are the ones
296
that will accept you and the thing is that when you need to just view things like you're filtering people out, okay?
297
so let's say you decide to be a certain different version of yourself and they don't want to be your friends, okay, that just means that they're not supposed to be your friends, and you're getting closer to the people who are supposed to be your friends, you know?
298
Anyways, I hope this video helped you guys, and if any of you guys are dealing with something like this, I really hope this.. helped but anyways i hope you guys enjoyed this video
299
and i'll see you guys all very very soon okay

文法と文脈での表現
- 「the fact that~」：このフレーズは事実について述べる際によく使われます。例文を通じて、効果的に自分の意見を伝える方法を学べます。
- 「you need to understand~」：相手に重要なポイントを理解してもらうために使います。説明することで、自分の考えを明確に表現する練習になります。

一般的な発音の落とし穴
ビデオの中で特に注意が必要なのは、「audacity」と「potential」の発音です。これらの単語は発音が難しく、アクセントの位置を理解する必要があります。また、「confidence」や「nothing」といった単語も注意深く発音することで、英語の発音を良くすることが可能です。常に自分の発音に耳を傾け、必要に応じて修正を加えましょう。この練習を通じて、英語の発音をブラッシュアップすることができます。

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。
