1
You are on a racetrack.
2
The crowd is so loud, the lights are blinding.
3
And you are running.
4
To everyone watching, you are in the lead.
5
Your stride looks great.
6
And time is going to be a personal best.
7
But inside, something feels off.
8
Because this is not just a race for position.
9
This is a conflict between two versions of yourself.
10
One that the world praises and applauds.
11
And the other that is quietly asking, is this really me?
12
When I was younger, I thought success meant becoming the perfect version of me as the world saw me.
13
So, I learned how to perform,
14
how to say the right things,
15
how to say things to please people,
16
how to move to be admired.
17
Looking back, I wasn't just running.
18
I was becoming a show horse.
19
Now you might ask, what is a show horse?
20
A show horse is trained to perform.
21
It's trained to respond on cue.
22
It's trained to move beautifully as long as someone else is watching and judging.
23
But then, as I got older,
24
I stepped onto a bigger track.
25
One that looking perfect wasn't good enough.
26
I needed to be faster.
27
That's when I became a racehorse.
28
Running harder, faster, constantly trying to stay ahead.
29
But here's what I didn't realize at the time.
30
Sure, a racehorse runs fast,
31
but it doesn't choose its direction.
32
and somewhere between performing and chasing,
33
I realized I started to lose something.
34
Not my ability, not my ambition,
35
but my sense of direction.
36
Have you ever stopped and asked yourself,
37
if no one was watching,
38
would I still be running this race?
39
Now, there is another way to run.
40
Not as a racehorse, not as a showhorse,
41
but it's something far less predictable as a dark horse.
42
A dark horse doesn't run for applause.
43
It doesn't run on a fast, fixed lane.
44
A dark horse runs for its own rhythm.
45
A rhythm that only appears when you stop asking for permission to move.
46
I remember the moment that was my turning point, if you will.
47
the moment that everything changed.
48
When I was in college,
49
I got a test grade back.
50
I felt instant dread, my stomach dropped.
51
I failed that test.
52
I got a 40 out of 100.
53
Looking at it, it looked like a failure, a big mistake.
54
something I needed to fix,
55
how I needed to do better.
56
But the truth was, it wasn't just a result on a test.
57
I was looking in a mirror.
58
Because for the first time in my life,
59
I wasn't the student that people looked up to.
60
I wasn't the student people expected me to be.
61
And to be honest, I wasn't impressive.
62
And I didn't know what to do without that,
63
because I built my identity by being seen in a certain way,
64
being capable, being excellent, being right.
65
And then I realized something.
66
I wasn't trying to just succeed.
67
I was trying to be approved by everyone else but me.
68
When your goal is approval,
69
you don't choose what matters to you.
70
You choose what you know will be accepted.
71
I'm going to say that again so you really hear me.
72
When your goal is approval,
73
you don't choose what matters to you.
74
You choose what you know will be accepted.
75
But it's my life.
76
Why would I not choose what matters to me?
77
Why would I choose what everyone else wants?
78
Looking at that grade, I thought I had lost my standard.
79
But what I had actually lost was my performance.
80
That number didn't expose a weakness.
81
It exposed a dependence.
82
Because for years, I had spent time becoming a perfect show horse.
83
And for the first time,
84
I had to answer a question that I've been avoiding my entire life.
85
If I'm not impressive, then who am I?
86
After that moment, I thought I would stop.
87
Stop performing.
88
Stop pretending.
89
Stop trying to be perfect.
90
But I didn't.
91
I couldn't.
92
It was ingrained in me.
93
I spent years doing it.
94
So, I just changed the way I ran.
95
Instead of trying to look impressive,
96
I started trying to prove that I was still good enough.
97
I am still worthy.
98
I stepped onto a different kind of track.
99
A track that rewards speed, results, achievements.
100
And without realizing it, I became a racehorse.
101
I ran harder.
102
I chased better grades, more titles, more achievements.
103
Because I needed the validation and to confirm that I was still worthy.
104
I am still good enough despite my failures.
105
And that's the track.
106
The excellent track.
107
because the system rewards you for it.
108
When you run fast, people cheer.
109
When you achieve more, people notice.
110
And when you stay ahead, people admire you.
111
So you keep going, running faster, further.
112
You do not stop.
113
But here's what I didn't question and no one questions.
114
Sure, a racehorse runs fast,
115
but it doesn't choose where it's going.
116
The owner has the direction.
117
The track is already determined.
118
The pace is already set.
119
Someone else is always holding the reins.
120
So even when you're winning,
121
you might be lost without the owner.
122
Because you're not asking, is this where I want to go?
123
The only question you're asking, am I ahead?
124
That's what the Excellent Trap really is.
125
It's not about excellence.
126
It's about becoming so focused on approval that you stop choosing your own direction.
127
And the most dangerous part of that is you don't feel lost.
128
You feel successful.
129
At some point I had to stop and ask a different question
130
Not how do I win But why am I running at all?
131
Because for the first time I realized I've never actually chosen my own direction
132
And this is when I began to understand what a dark horse really is
133
It is not someone less capable It is not someone who runs slower It is someone who decides first and proves later.
134
It doesn't need to be certain and it doesn't need to be sure.
135
It doesn't need to be validated.
136
It just needs to be honest about what matters.
137
Because let me tell you something, something I've learned.
138
Honesty is so much harder than a performance.
139
Because when you stop asking for permission, you lose the script.
140
No one holds your hand.
141
No one tells you what's right no one guarantees the outcome.
142
You have to.
143
You have to choose.
144
For me, that choice became a project.
145
My advocacy.
146
Courage over cancer.
147
And I want to be very clear.
148
I didn't choose this because it looked good on my resume.
149
It looked good on paper.
150
I didn't choose it because I get graded on it because I knew it looked good.
151
I chose it because it was mine.
152
I knew what I was doing.
153
I knew why I wanted it and that was new because for the first time I wasn't a show horse.
154
I stepped off the racetrack.
155
I was no longer a racehorse not because I was confident.
156
I can guarantee you I wasn't very scared but because I was finally willing to be uncertain.
157
That's what becoming a dark horse really is.
158
It means choosing a direction before you know if you'll be rewarded or if you'll succeed.
159
That journey
160
that long journey i was on led me somewhere very unexpected
161
on a stage a little bit bigger than the one i'm
162
on right now just a little bit it led me to the stage of miss cosmo 2025
163
to the crown also of my cosmo 2025
164
but it wasn't easy getting there to everyone looking into outsiders i crossed the finish line i did it all
165
that hard work all that dedication the effort the years of running
166
but for me it meant something very different
167
because the real question is not how i got the crown the real question was who did i become
168
while getting there because i've seen it before people cross the finish line
169
but they lose themselves in the process they succeed they win But they don't know who they are anymore after winning.
170
And I knew one thing for certain when I was competing.
171
If I had to put on a mask or a persona,
172
I would not be the same person I was behind that microphone.
173
I would not be the same person I am right now behind this microphone.
174
So I made a decision,
175
not about how to win,
176
but how to stay real.
177
I didn't treat my crown as a reward,
178
but as a responsibility, a platform to carry a message that I had learned the hard way.
179
Your power does not come from a title you hold.
180
Your power comes from the truth that you failed,
181
that you keep on, refuse to abandon to get there.
182
Your power does not come from a tile you hold.
183
It comes from the truth.
184
You refuse to abandon to get there.
185
And that is what Beyond the Crown really means.
186
It means the crown is not the destination, but a test.
187
A test to ensure that you can be in the spotlight without performing,
188
without chasing approval, without losing your rhythm.
189
Because it's easy to be authentic when you're alone, when no one's watching.
190
The real challenge is, can you stay authentic when everyone is watching?
191
So, as I leave you here today,
192
I don't want you to remember my story.
193
I want you to recognize, acknowledge your own.
194
Because at any point in your life,
195
you've been one of three horses.
196
Are you a show horse?
197
Constantly seeking approval, applause from everyone around you.
198
Or you might be a racehorse,
199
running faster, harder, always trying to stay ahead,
200
but failing to see that you're not falling behind.
201
And from the outside, yeah,
202
they both look like success.
203
You're doing great to everyone watching.
204
But here's the question people never ask.
205
Are you choosing your direction or are you choosing the speed?
206
Because we are trained to choose speed,
207
to graduate early, to succeed early, to stay ahead.
208
So we keep moving fast,
209
not really because we want to,
210
not because it's right, but because it's expected of us.
211
Fast is external.
212
It's driven by comparison, by pressure,
213
by the need to be validated.
214
But right is internal.
215
And sometimes choosing what's right doesn't look impressive at all.
216
To some eyes, it looks like you've slowed down.
217
You're falling behind, but you're not.
218
You're choosing your direction before your speed.
219
And that's what you become when you begin to become a dark horse.
220
Not because you are finally different,
221
but because you are finally making decisions that don't need to be approved first.
222
So, before you run fast,
223
before you chase the next goal,
224
pause for a moment and ask yourself,
225
If no one sees this,
226
would I still do it?
227
Am I chasing speed or am I chasing direction?
228
And is this decision truly mine or is it just something that I have learned to perform?
229
Because that finish line, crossing over, belongs to everyone.
230
But your direction is the only thing that is ever truly yours.
231
So, in the year of the horse,
232
choose your horse, choose your direction.
233
I am Yolena Lindquist, Miss Cosmo 2025,
234
and I am proud to be a dark horse.

이 비디오로 말하기 연습을 하는 이유는?
이 TEDx 강연에서 Yolina Lindquist는 자신의 내면의 갈등과 이를 극복하는 과정에 대해 이야기합니다. 그녀는 '레일 위에서 달리는 말'과 '다크 호스'라는 두 가지 상징적 비유를 통해 성공과 진정한 나 자신을 찾는 여정을 표현하였습니다. 영어 회화 연습에 있어 이러한 주제는 매우 중요합니다. 강연을 들으며 자신의 경험과 감정을 연관지어 생각해보는 것은 자연스러운 대화의 흐름을 만들어주고, 더 나아가 자신의 목소리를 찾는 데 도움이 됩니다.
맥락 속의 문법 및 표현
Yolina의 강연에서 사용된 몇 가지 핵심 문법 및 표현들은 영어 학습자에게 유용할 수 있습니다. 다음은 그 예시입니다:
- "Have you ever stopped and asked yourself...": 이 표현은 질문을 통해 청중에게 사고를 자극하는 효과적인 방법입니다.
- "Not my ability, not my ambition, but my sense of direction.": 이 문장은 나열 구조를 통해 강한 감정을 전달하고, 청중이 공감할 수 있도록 만듭니다.
- "A dark horse runs for its own rhythm.": 여기서 'runs for'와 'own rhythm'은 자율성과 개인적 목표를 강조하는 중요한 표현입니다.
이러한 표현을 영어 쉐도잉 연습을 통해 반복적으로 사용하면 더 자연스러운 영어 발음 교정과 회화 능력 향상에 큰 도움이 됩니다.
일반적인 발음 함정
강연 속에서 주목할 만한 발음이나 억양은 다음과 같습니다:
- "applause": 종종 '어플로즈'로 발음되는 이 단어는 '어플라우즈'로 발음할 때 더 자연스럽습니다.
- "performing": 발음할 때 '퍼포밍'보다는 '퍼포링'에 가깝게 발음하는 것이 좋습니다.
- "ambition": 이 단어는 '엠비션'으로 발음하지만, '앰비션'으로 발음할 경우 더 정확한 발음이 됩니다.
이처럼 발음에 주의를 기울이고 자주 연습하는 것은 영어 발음 교정에 매우 중요합니다. 효과적인 영어 회화 연습 방법으로는 강연 내용을 기반으로 한 영어 쉐도잉이 있습니다. 반복적으로 말하면서 자연스러운 억양과 발음을 익혀보세요.
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.
