1
You guys will find that you have passions and having a passion is a gift.
2
I think we all have passions and you don't get to choose them.
3
They pick you, but you have to be alert to them.
4
You have to be looking for them.
5
And when you find your passion, it's a fantastic gift for you because it gives you direction.
6
It gives you purpose.
7
You could have a job or you can have a career or you can have a calling.
8
And the best thing is to have a calling.
9
And if you find your passion, you'll have that and all your work won't feel like work to you.
10
Many, many kids and many grown-ups do figure out over time what their passions are.
11
And sometimes we let our, I don't think it's that hard,
12
I think what happens though sometimes is that we let our intellectual selves overrule those passions.
13
And so that's what needs to be guarded against.
14
My job, one of my jobs as the leader of Amazon, is to encourage people to be bold.
15
And people love to focus on things that aren't yet working.
16
And that's good, it's human nature, that kind of divine discontent can be very helpful.
17
But you really, you know, it's incredibly hard to get people to take bold bets.
18
And you need to encourage that.
19
And if you're going to take bold bets, they're going to be experiments if they're experiments you don't know ahead of time whether they're going to work.
20
Experiments are by their very nature prone to failure,
21
but big successes, a few big successes compensate for dozens and dozens of things that didn't work.
22
So you know, bold bets, AWS, Kindle, Amazon Prime, our third party seller business,
23
all of those things are examples of bold bets that did work and they pay for a lot of experiments.
24
I've made billions of dollars of failures at Amazon.com.
25
Literally, billions of dollars of failures.
26
And you might remember pets.com or Cosmo,
27
or give myself a root canal with no anesthesia very easily.
28
None of those things are fun, but they also, they don't matter.
29
What really matters is companies that don't continue to experiment, Companies that don't embrace failure,
30
they eventually get in the desperate position where the only thing
31
they can do is make a kind of Hail Mary bet at the very end of their corporate existence.
32
Whereas companies that are making bets all along, even big bets, but not bet the company bets.
33
I don't believe in bet the company bets.
34
That's when you're desperate.
35
That's the last thing you can do.
36
You can be out of work and have terrible work-life balance.
37
Even though you've got all the time in the world, you could just feel like, oh my God, I'm miserable, and you would be draining energy.
38
And so you have to find that harmony.
39
It's a much better word.
40
And I think for most people, it's about meaning.
41
People want to know that they're doing something interesting and useful.
42
And for us, because of the challenges that we have chosen for ourselves, we get to work in the future.
43
And it's super fun to work in the future for the right kind of person.
44
You need to be nimble and robust.
45
So you need to be able to take a punch, and you also need to be quick and innovative and doing new things at a high speed.
46
That's the best defense against the future.
47
And you have to always be leaning into the future.
48
If you're leaning away from the future, the future is going to win every time.
49
Never, ever, ever lean away from the future.
50
We all have adversity in our lives.
51
I doubt if you really, you know, if you know somebody, any friend, or anybody that you talk to,
52
there's no lack of adversity.
53
And by the way, that's good because it's what teaches us how to get back up.
54
You fall down, you get back up.
55
It always happens.
56
And you get certain gifts in life and you want to take advantage of those.
57
But you, I guess my advice on adversity and success would be to be proud not of your gifts,
58
but of your hard work and your choices.
59
So you know, you may be, the kinds of gifts you get, you know, you might be really good at math, it might be really easy for you.
60
That's a kind of gift.
61
But practicing that math and taking it to the next step,
62
that could be very challenging and hard and take a lot of sweat, that's a choice.
63
You can't really be proud of your gifts because they were given to you.
64
You can be grateful for them and thankful for them.
65
But your choices, you choose to work hard.
66
You choose to do hard things.
67
Those are choices that you can be proud of.
68
Being an inventor requires, because the world is so complicated, you have to be a domain expert.
69
I mean, in a way, even if you're not at the beginning, you have to learn, learn, learn, learn, learn enough so that you become a domain expert.
70
But the danger is, once you become a domain expert, you can be trapped by that knowledge.
71
And so inventors have this paradoxical ability to have that,
72
you know, 10,000 hours of practice and be a real domain expert and have that beginner's mind.
73
Have that look at it freshly, even though they know so much about the domain.
74
And that's the key to inventing.
75
You have to have both.
76
And I think that is intentional.
77
I think all of us have that inside of us and we can all do it, but you have to be intentional about it You have to say yeah I am gonna become an expert
78
and I'm gonna keep my beginners mind.
79
You can't skip steps You have to put one foot in front of the other things take time
80
you there are no shortcuts and But but you want to do those steps with you know passion and and ferocity.
81
It's easy to have ideas.
82
It's very hard to turn an idea into a successful product.
83
There are a lot of steps in between, and it takes persistence, relentlessness.
84
So I always tell people who think they want to be entrepreneurs,
85
you need a combination of stubborn relentlessness and flexibility.
86
And you have to know when to be which.
87
And basically you need to be stubborn on your vision, because otherwise it'll be too easy to give up.
88
But you need to be very flexible on the details, because as you go along pursuing your vision, you'll find that some of your preconceptions were wrong.
89
And you're gonna need to be able to change those things.
90
So I think taking an idea successfully all the way to the market
91
and turning it into a real product that people care about
92
and that really improves people's lives is a lot of hard work.
93
Don't try to chase what is kind of the hot passion of the day.
94
I think we actually saw this, I think you see it all over the place in many different contexts, but I think we saw it in the internet world quite a bit,
95
where at the sort of peak of the internet mania in say 1999,
96
you found people who were, you know, very passionate about something and they kind of left
97
that job and decided I'm going to do something on the internet
98
because it's almost like the 1849 gold rush in a way.
99
I mean you find that people, if you go back and study the history of the 1849 gold rush, you find that, you know,
100
at that time everybody who was within the shouting distance of California was, you know, was you know they might have been a doctor
101
but they quit being a doctor and they started panning for gold and That that almost never works
102
And even if it does work
103
You know according to some metric financial success or whatever might be I suspect it leaves you ultimately unsatisfied
104
so you really need to
105
Be very clear with yourself And I think one of the best ways to do
106
that is this notion of projecting yourself forward to age 80 looking back on your life
107
and trying to make sure you've minimized the number of regrets you have.
108
That works for career decisions, it works for family decisions.
109
I have a 14 month old son and it's very easy for me if I think about myself when I'm 80,
110
I know I want to watch that little guy grow up.
111
And so I don't want to be 80
112
and think shoot you know I missed that whole thing
113
and I don't have the kind of relationship with my son
114
that I I wished I had and so on and so on.
115
So if you think about that.
116
So I guess another thing that I would recommend to people is that they always take a long-term point of view.
117
And I think this is something about which there's a lot of controversy.
118
You know, there's a lot of people, and I'm just not one of them, believe that you should live for the now.
119
I think what you do is you think about the great expanse of time ahead of you
120
and try to make sure that you're planning for that in a way that's going to leave you ultimately satisfied.
121
So this is just my, this is the way it works for me.
122
And I mean, this is, everybody needs to find that for themselves.
123
So I think there are a lot of paths to satisfaction.
124
And you need to find one that works for you.
125

이 영상을 통해 말하기 연습을 하는 이유는?

Jeff Bezos의 연설은 열정, 실험, 그리고 실패의 중요성에 대해 깊이 있는 통찰을 제공합니다. 이 영상을 통해 영어 말하기 연습을 하는 것은 두 가지 큰 이점을 가집니다. 첫째, 연설의 내용은 우리에게 큰 영감을 주는 동시에 영어 사용의 맥락을 이해하는 데 도움을 줍니다. 둘째, shadow speak 기법을 사용하여 Bezos가 내는 자연스러운 억양과 발음을 따라함으로써, 우리는 자신의 영어 발음을 교정하고 연습할 수 있습니다. 더 나아가, shadowspeaks의 방식을 통해 이 영상에서 제시된 다양한 아이디어와 표현을 효과적으로 습득할 수 있습니다.

문맥 속 문법 및 표현 분석

이 영상에서는 몇 가지 중요한 문법 구조와 표현이 사용되었습니다:

  • "you have to be alert to them": 이는 수동적으로 기다리지 않고, 항상 주의 깊게 관찰해야 한다는 것을 강조합니다. "have to"는 필수성을 나타내며, "be alert to"는 주의 깊음과 인식을 강조합니다.
  • "if you're going to take bold bets": 이 구문에서 "if" 절은 조건을 제시하며, "take bold bets"는 결단력을 강조합니다. 이는 영어로 의도와 결단을 표현하는 매우 효과적인 방법입니다.
  • "you need to encourage that": "need to" 구조를 활용하여 필요성을 나타내고, "encourage"는 타인을 격려하는 것을 강조합니다. 이는 영어 대화에서 상호작용의 중요성을 드러냅니다.

일반적인 발음 함정

이 영상에서 주의해야 할 발음 중 몇 가지는 다음과 같습니다:

  • "bold bets": "bold"의 ‘o’ 발음과 "bets"의 ‘e’ 발음이 특히 중요합니다. 이 두 단어의 발음을 정확하게 연습함으로써, 더 자연스럽고 유창한 발음을 얻을 수 있습니다.
  • "experiments": 이 단어는 강세가 잘못되기 쉬운데, 두 번째 음절인 ‘per’에 강세를 주어야 합니다. 영어 발음 교정 작업에서 자주 실수하는 부분이니 주의가 필요합니다.
  • "miserable": 이 단어는 발음할 때 음절이 늘어지는 경향이 있습니다. "미저러블"처럼 발음하면 자연스러운 억양이 살아납니다.

이러한 발음 트랩을 피하기 위해, shadow speech 연습을 통해 반복적으로 숙달하는 것이 중요합니다. 자신이 발음하기 어려운 단어를 집중적으로 연습하면서 전반적인 영어 발음을 향상시킬 수 있습니다.

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.
