1
Five years ago, I was a prisoner in my own life.
2
I was hopelessly addicted to drugs.
3
Every morning I would get up, go buy drugs, and then spend the rest of the day using, barely conscious, until I passed out again at the end of the night.
4
I spent months at a time like that.
5
I don't have a lot of memories from that time, but one thing I do remember very clearly is this incredible sense of awe and resentment I felt just watching normal people do normal things.
6
I would see somebody meeting a friend for lunch, and it would seem inconceivable to me that anybody could be that free.
7
They could just decide what to do with an afternoon.
8
This talk isn't about addiction per se, but I'm telling you this because I really need you to understand where I'm coming from, how trapped I was, before I tell you that my life is amazing now.
9
I'm clean, first and foremost.
10
(Applause) I'm married to an incredible man, and we get to do all sorts of fun projects together.
11
And I'm CEO of Astera Institute, a multibillion dollar private foundation that's pioneering a new approach to supporting innovative science and technology.
12
(Applause) What I do want to talk about today is how I got from point A to point B.
13
What changed?
14
It's not that I got smarter or that I started trying harder.
15
I think what changed was even more fundamental.
16
It was developing a sense of personal agency, which I think about as the capacity to both see and act on all of the degrees of freedom we actually have.
17
It's about being able to find the hidden doors in the walls of life.
18
I want to argue that when it comes to living a satisfying and meaningful life, agency is actually much more important than the things we usually think about as critical to success, like intelligence and hard work, both of which are next to useless if misapplied, and which are becoming less and less important as we increasingly outsource them to machines.
19
I saw a quote recently from Garry Tan, the CEO of Y Combinator, that I really liked.
20
He said, "Intelligence is on tap now, so agency is even more important." For all of the freedom that addiction took from me, I think it actually gave me an unnatural advantage when it came to cultivating agency.
21
And that's because while agency has many mothers, one of them is certainly desperation.
22
Addicts call this the gift of desperation, actually.
23
The willingness to do whatever it takes to change your life, to embarrass yourself by standing up in front of a roomful of strangers and say, “My name is Cate, and I’m a drug addict.” Or to lock yourself away for months.
24
Or to take medications that will put you in the ER if you drink.
25
By the time I went to rehab, I definitely had the gift of desperation.
26
I lost my job, most of my friends.
27
For a time, I'd basically lost the ability to walk.
28
And so when I left, I walked into a halfway house and a complete mess of a life.
29
But in a way, I think that was actually good.
30
Because I felt like I had nothing left to lose.
31
And that made me fearless and hungry.
32
I started saying yes to everything, every connection someone was willing to make in hopes it might lead to something that would help me get back on my feet.
33
I remember just going for volume.
34
It didn't matter if I could tell how something would benefit me.
35
That's how I ended up meeting most of the people I've worked with in the last four years.
36
Losing my sense of pride also helped me learn really fast.
37
I had brain damage, which meant that I didn't always understand things, and I couldn't pretend that I did either.
38
So I got good at saying, "I don't understand what you just said.
39
Can you explain it to me?" in situations where before I might have just nodded along.
40
Side note: people love to explain things.
41
(Laughter) It's a total win win.
42
Now I have great news, which is that you don't need to ruin your life and then rebuild it in order to learn to be more agentic.
43
I do think it helps to be some kind of desperate, but there's always something to be desperate for.
44
I felt that during COVID, as friends and I watched low-income countries struggle with vaccinations because they lacked adequate cold chain storage.
45
So we created a company that created a shelf-stable vaccine, and we let that desperation drive us into clinical trials in under six months, faster than any start-up in history.
46
I felt another kind of desperation early on in my marriage, when it seemed like there was an invisible wall between the two of us.
47
So in desperation, I learned how to resolve the emotional barriers that made it difficult for me to connect with people.
48
I don't think agency is innate.
49
But I do think most people learn it through sheer luck.
50
If it's not the luck of desperation, then maybe it's just the luck of seeing somebody highly agentic operating up close.
51
I also think, though, that it can be learned systematically and by many more people.
52
I want to share some of the tactics I've learned for becoming more agentic.
53
First, assume everything is learnable.
54
I gave the example of learning to connect with my husband, but I could have just as easily spoken from personal experience about learning to be more optimistic or curious.
55
I think most traits that people treat as fixed are actually quite learnable.
56
If you both believe that they are and put the same kind of effort into learning them that you would anything else.
57
Second, court rejection.
58
We spend our lives carefully avoiding it, but if you're only aiming for things you get you're doing yourself a disservice.
59
In fact, sometimes you have to aim for things that feel unreasonable to make sure your instinct about what's reasonable is right.
60
Last time I was applying for a job, I told a couple people: "I'm thinking about starting an organization much like your own.
61
Can I run yours instead?" (Laughter) A little delusional, maybe.
62
But the thing is, sometimes delusional works.
63
Third, seek real feedback.
64
Pretty much every one of us has something holding us back that we're completely blind to and that's obvious to other people.
65
Don't you want to know what that is?
66
The single best way to find out is to give people a way to tell you anonymously.
67
I know that might sound scary, it was to me at first, but it can also be exhilarating.
68
I have an anonymous feedback box linked to my Twitter profile, and it has honestly been life-changing, not just in terms of the specific feedback I've gotten, but in knowing that I'm not trying to hide things from myself anymore.
69
If I could go back in time five years and talk to the person that I was then and tell her that I would one day experience that kind of freedom, to not have to hide things, to do whatever I feel like with my afternoons, to be basically happy.
70
I would not have believed it.
71
But that is the power of personal agency.
72
No matter how stuck you are, if you can learn to locate the doors hidden within you, you can unlock inconceivable kinds of freedom.
73
Thank you. (Applause)

이 비디오로 말하기 연습을 해야 하는 이유는 무엇인가요?
이 TED 강연에서 Cate Hall은 자신이 겪었던 극복 이야기를 통해 삶을 주도적으로 살아가는 방법에 대해 이야기합니다. 영어 쉐도잉 연습에 적합한 이 영상은 실제적인 상황에서 사용되는 다양한 영어 표현과 대화를 제공합니다. Cate의 생생한 경험은 영어 회화 연습에 큰 도움이 되며, 그녀의 말하는 스타일은 청중에게 감정적으로 와닿기 때문에 영어 실력을 향상시킬 수 있는 많은 기회를 제공합니다. 또한, 자신의 감정과 생각을 표현하는 데 필요한 다양한 어휘와 구문을 자연스럽게 익힐 수 있습니다.
문맥 속의 문법 & 표현
- “I was a prisoner in my own life.” - 이 표현은 자신에 대한 강한 비유를 사용하여 개인적인 감정을 강조합니다. 강한 이미지 표현은 상대방에게 더 깊은 이해를 불러일으킬 수 있습니다.
- “What I do want to talk about today is...” - 이 구문은 강연의 주제를 명확하게 제시하며, 발표 시 청중의 관심을 끌기 위해 사용됩니다.
- “I think it helps to be some kind of desperate.” - 이 표현은 불확실한 상황 속에서도 결단을 내리는 것이 중요하다는 점을 강조합니다. 생생한 예시와 함께 사용되어 학습자들에게 실용적인 적용 가능성을 보여줍니다.
자주 틀리기 쉬운 발음 함정
Cate Hall의 발음에서 주의해야 할 몇 가지 단어와 억양이 있습니다. 예를 들어, “addiction”과 “desperation”은 특히 초보자에게 발음하기 어려운 단어입니다. 이러한 단어는 영어 발음 교정 연습에서 자주 다루어져야 하며, 정확한 발음을 위해 반복적으로 훈련하는 것이 좋습니다. 또한, 그녀의 말투에서 느껴지는 감정적인 억양은 대화의 의미를 풍부하게 만들어주므로, shadowspeaks 연습을 통해 이러한 표현을 효과적으로 습득할 수 있습니다.
영어 회화 연습과 함께 이러한 발음도 신경 쓰면서 연습한다면, 더 자연스럽고 자신감 있는 스피치를 할 수 있을 것입니다. 이러한 실습을 통해 여러분의 언어 능력이 한층 더 발전하기를 바랍니다!
쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
