1
So hi, hello, my sweet little angel babies.
2
I hope we are doing well today.
3
I heard someone say a quote the other day that I haven't heard in a very long time, and it was very inspiring.
4
The quote went, talk is cheap.
5
And I haven't heard that quote since I was like young, right?
6
I haven't heard that since I was like 12.
7
And it really is true.
8
It's 100% true.
9
Anyone can talk about who they want to be, but to actually become who you want to be, it's not about what you say, and it's not about what you think,
10
and it's not about what your intentions are.
11
It's about what your actions are.
12
And I've been thinking a lot about how your actions speak louder than your words in every situation.
13
If you want to know a person or know who someone is, don't listen to a fucking thing that comes out of their mouth.
14
look at what they do and
15
that is a complete reveal of their character how life doesn't
16
care who you think you are life only responds to what
17
you do meaning we can have the best of intentions in
18
the world we can have like this perfect plan this perfect
19
dream we can have all the desire in the world
20
and all the passion to get to a place but
21
if we don't put an equal amount of action and moving our ass behind these intentions, then it's complete bullshit.
22
And I'm gonna kind of give an analogy in a sense.
23
So you know how people say that love is both a feeling and an action.
24
Like when you love another person, you obviously have warm fuzzy feelings towards them, you want to be close to them.
25
But then it is also an action in the sense that you want to do things for them, you want to provide for them, you want to give them gifts, you want to give them words of affirmation.
26
You want to express this feeling that you are feeling and you want to show up for them every single day.
27
People who love one another, truly, they will always show up with action before they ever show up with words.
28
The people I know in my life who love me the deepest, they show up with their actions more than they show up with their words.
29
And that means the world to me.
30
It really, really does.
31
And same way, vice versa, where if I really love a person, I will show up with what I do for them
32
and how I will be there for them and it even
33
if I was completely silent
34
and we never spoke a word to each other we would just completely understand
35
that this relationship exists even without words because the action is there to show
36
that we love one another it's kind of like the way
37
that you love a pet where you can't talk to
38
that pet you can't talk to a dog you can't talk to a cat you can't talk to a bird
39
All you can do is just show up for them.
40
You can feed them.
41
You can take care of them.
42
You can brush them.
43
You can pet them.
44
You can show them that you love them, even without saying a single word that they understand.
45
and the way that you love another person or the way
46
that you love a pet or that you love another being is the same way
47
that you should show up and love yourself
48
because I think it's very easy to say I love myself
49
or even repeat affirmations in the mirror or journal
50
and be like I love myself I'm the best I can do this everything's great
51
but do your actions align with actually loving yourself
52
because I think a lot of us here can think completely with every ounce of our being.
53
I love myself.
54
I am confident.
55
I have a plan.
56
I have a dream.
57
Like sit here and feel that energy.
58
But does that actually translate to something physical?
59
Because, okay, a lot of people like to, let me talk spiritual for half a second.
60
A lot of people like to talk about manifestation, where you have to have your mindset aligned with reality in
61
order to have it come to fruition like you have to love yourself in order for life to be good, or you have to be happy in order for life to be good.
62
Like you have to be in a high vibrational mindset in order for life to be good.
63
There is also another principle of the universe that a lot of people forget, which is the law of aligned action.
64
Meaning that even if you're in a shit headspace, you are the most depressed you've ever been in your life.
65
You were in just a hole of shit.
66
Like you were in a bad place.
67
You can still change your reality by physically aligning your efforts with your desires.
68
Meaning you can out-action a bad mindset.
69
Meaning you can out-action a bad life.
70
Meaning you can out-action your self-hatred.
71
And this is the principle of life that has always worked for me.
72
Because I believe in manifestation to a good degree,
73
meaning like if I think about something and I'm planning something and I'm feeling something, then that energy will come into my life.
74
But it doesn't always work out because I've had dreams, I've had intentions, I've had feelings,
75
I've had plans of things working out in my life and they didn't work out.
76
But you know what never has failed me?
77
Action and getting my ass moving.
78
If I've put enough action behind something, it is always worked out every single time.
79
It's like every single day I made a building block and a building block and a building block and a building block.
80
And then suddenly I have just a giant Lego tower of all the effort I've put in
81
and no one can knock it down because I put that action into my own life.
82
You can put all this intention and all this feeling and all this love behind brushing your teeth and be like, oh yeah, I'm the best at brushing my teeth.
83
I love brushing my teeth.
84
Brushing my teeth is the best.
85
But unless you actually pick up the toothbrush and scrub your own teeth, you will never have clean teeth.
86
Unless you pick up what you need to do and actually do it, intentions don't mean anything.
87
Intentions are shit without action.
88
Intentions are meaningless without action.
89
Because action is the annotated bibliography to your life.
90
You can write the best paper in the entire world, but you will get a zero on it unless you include your annotated bibliography.
91
You can write the best paper in the world, but if you do not have your annotated bibliography at the end, citing every single source that you used, that paper means nothing.
92
You might as well have just written that off of pure speculation, you know, or at least that's the way the English teacher is going to view that paper.
93
if that's the way that life works where you can put all of this effort into something
94
and you can put all this thought and all of this care
95
and all of this passion but
96
if you do not get your ass moving it's completely meaningless null
97
and void and that's what I've been trying to hold myself accountable for
98
because I've been in like a weird headspace recently I've been in kind of a low point of my life
99
and I wrote down every single thing I do in a day and it's like wake up scroll on my phone, forget to eat breakfast, don't go outside,
100
stay on my computer, stay inside.
101
Like all these things that are known to lower your mood, lower your motivation, it's none of the things that actually are building blocks to the life that I want.
102
And so I decided, let's say these are my goals, da-da-da-da-da.
103
What is one step, one small tangible step I can take every day towards these things.
104
And for running, it's like, I don't have to run every day, but as long as I do a workout, I eat healthy, that will get me towards that goal.
105
For, you know, getting into the medical field, it is studying for my medical assistant course, it's studying, you know, biology,
106
microbiology in my free time, signing up for college courses, all of these things, just taking like that one step forward.
107
Even if it's just as simple as waking up a little bit earlier to get you towards those goals, or even if it's as crazy as waking up at 5am, running five miles, eating super healthy,
108
going to your job, like doing all of these things.
109
You need to be able to write down at the end of the day everything you did to reach your goals.
110
You can't sit around and think about it.
111
You actually have to fucking do it.
112
Because reality only speaks one language, and that language is evidence.
113
It's not intentions or potential.
114
And we struggle a lot, not because we don't know what to do, but because we're not doing what we know we need to do.
115
And we want the end result without going through the work.
116
Like we want the confidence without the action.
117
We want the certainty before we make a move or take a risk.
118
We want motivation before we've even gotten started.
119
It's not going to come until you do the work.
120
everything that you want in life has to be earned
121
and you have to pay your dues to get to
122
that end it's not just going to magically appear it's going to take years
123
and years and years of struggle and difficulty to get to where you want
124
and how are you ever going to feel powerful
125
if you've become a stranger to your own promises
126
because at the end of the day your results tell a story that your words never could.
127
Talk is cheap, but actions are the payday.
128
Have a great day, folks.

맥락 및 배경

이 비디오는 일상적인 상황에서 우리가 말하는 것과 행동하는 것의 중요성에 대해 이야기합니다. 발표자는 '말은 싸다'라는 인용구를 언급하며, 사람들이 원하는 모습에 대해 이야기하는 것과 실제로 행동으로 보여주는 것이 얼마나 다른지를 강조합니다. 그녀는 사람의 진정한 성격을 이해하기 위해서는 그들이 하는 행동에 주목해야 하며, 의도와 계획보다 실행이 더 중요하다고 설명합니다. 이를 통해 우리는 사랑과 관계의 본질에 대해서도 생각해 볼 수 있습니다.

일상적인 의사소통을 위한 상위 5개 구문

  • Talk is cheap. (말은 싸다.)
  • Actions speak louder than words. (행동은 말보다 더 크다.)
  • I love myself. (나는 나 자신을 사랑한다.)
  • Show up for someone. (누군가를 위해 나타나다.)
  • Life only responds to what you do. (삶은 당신의 행동에만 반응한다.)

단계별 쉐도잉 가이드

이 영상을 통해 영어 회화 연습을 하기 위해서는 다음과 같은 단계를 따라가면 좋습니다:

  1. 영상 시청하기: 처음으로 비디오를 전체적으로 시청하며 내용을 이해합니다. 이 단계에서는 영어 쉐도잉의 기본 아이디어를 익힙니다.
  2. 구문 반복하기: 각 구문을 듣고 즉시 따라 말해보세요. 특히 'Talk is cheap'와 같은 간단한 표현부터 시작하면서 자신의 목소리로 발음해 보세요. 이 과정이 shadowspeak을 발전시키는 데 도움이 됩니다.
  3. 행동으로 옮기기: 발표자가 이야기한 '행동이 더 중요하다'는 메시지를 기억하며, 간단한 일상적 행동을 영어로 설명해 보세요. 예를 들어, '나는 친구를 위해 요리를 한다'라고 말해보는 것이 좋습니다.
  4. 상황에 맞추기: 자신이 처한 상황에서 유사한 문장을 만들어 봅니다. '사랑'이나 '지원'과 같은 감정을 표현하는 문장을 영어로 만들어 보세요. 이는 IELTS 스피킹 연습에도 유용합니다.
  5. 반복적 훈련: 정기적으로 이 영상을 다시 보고 반복적으로 연습하세요. 자신의 말하기 능력을 지속적으로 발전시키기 위해 영어 회화와 쉐도잉을 반복합니다.

이 단계를 따라가면서 효과적으로 영어를 연습하고 자신감을 키울 수 있습니다. 사랑하는 사람에게 나타나는 행동과 마찬가지로, 자신을 사랑하는 방법도 행동으로 보여주는 것이 중요합니다.

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.
