쉐도잉 연습: The Only 15 Minutes You Need To Master Self-Control | Robert Greene Motivation - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

So your brain needs pressure.

It needs constant pressure.

And stress and pressure is not a bad thing.

We have this thing where we feel like stress is bad.

It's bad for you.

Bad.

You know, you need to relax, man.

You need to chill.

Stress will kill you.

No, being bored will kill you.

Not having anything to do will kill you.

It's much more dangerous than stress.

Yes, you can work too hard.

You can work where there's no soul involved.

I work like a fiend because I'm writing a book and it's a very hard process for me.

And I'm working far too much, but man, I love it.

It's fantastic.

And it could kill me.

The stress could kill me.

It gave me a stroke.

But I'd rather die under the stress than be bored and have nothing to do.

Never complain, never explain.

And what it means is don't complain about life.

Don't explain what you're doing or why you're doing it.

Just do it.

By whining and complaining, all you're doing is making people think bad things about you.

You're looking weak.

Stop whining and stop explaining yourself.

And just do things in the world.

And let your actions speak for themselves.

So that level of focus has to have a lot of energy behind it

because you're so in love with what you're doing that when you deviate from it, this little radar inside of your brain goes,

you're off, you're off, you got to get back to it, right?

And it's painful, but when you do get back to it and when things do click, it's incredibly pleasurable.

So the focus for young people that seems so painful, God damn it, everyone else is having so much fun and I'm having to learn this,

just keep telling yourself that you're doing something that your brain is going to reward you with several years down the line.

So that friend of yours that seems to be having so much fun, in three years, they're going to be sliding down the ladder working at some crap job,

whereas you're going to be rising up.

So just keep your mind on the larger issue there and know that

working with what your brain works well with will pay incredible rewards down the line.

Above all else, focus on acquiring knowledge and skills.

Knowledge and skills are like gold, a currency you will transform into something more valuable than you can imagine.

It's similar to one of your tweets, which is, Eventually the time

that was not spent on learning skills will catch up to you and the fall will be painful.

Well, life can be kind of difficult.

You don't really know sometimes where you're headed.

Nobody kind of gives you any kind of guidance in this world, right?

And they don't tell you when you graduate college, go ahead, go Robert, you go study this.

This is what your brain is suited for, etc. You have to find your own path.

And so for me personally, I spent years in the wilderness.

I know I want to be a writer, but I can't figure out what the hell I'm going to write.

So I leave college and I try journalism because I have to make a living.

I have to support myself.

And as somebody who studied ancient Greek and Latin in college, I think in terms of thousands of years and not in three days or a week,

you know, I want something that I write to be read in 3020 for, you know.

So I wander around Europe trying to write a novel with my backpack.

I live in London, I live in Paris, I lived in Ireland, I lived in Greece, you name it, I taught English in Spain.

I had no discipline, I couldn't do it, it didn't work, and I started to get depressed.

I had spent 18 years or so acquiring high levels of skill in writing.

I learned in journalism how to write under a deadline, under pressure, how to make it dramatic, how to make the opening sentence exciting enough to make you read off further.

Trying to write novels taught me about creating stories, which is a huge part of my writing.

Working in Hollywood, I learned how to research, which is a huge element, and then the theatrical element, making things dramatic, also story.

All of that time, slowly by slowly, brick by brick, I had developed real level skill.

So when it came time to write the 48 Laws of Power, I could do it.

I had learned all this discipline.

I had learned how to write under a deadline.

I learned how to make things entertaining.

The whole bag.

And so the world opened up for me.

Prior to that time, I was miserable.

I didn't know why, but I was acquiring skills, not even aware of it.

And so, the reason I write that is, when you develop that skill, when you're serious about it,

because I was very serious about writing, you change your brain.

You rewire your brain.

And this is a remarkable power of the human brain that people don't realize.

This one writer, his name is Schwartz I believe, he's a UCLA neuroscientist.

He wanted to help people who had OCD and usually it's drugs and it's talking therapy.

He wanted to find out something more effective.

So he did brain scans and through the strategies that he gave them to do, the brain scans show that they changed the brain.

His point was, through thinking, through developing skills, you literally change matter, you change your brain.

So something non-material like thoughts can literally change material things like the wiring of your brain.

You learn skills, you're changing your brain, you're changing the matter of your brain.

Things are connecting that weren't connected before.

And slowly, if you do it if you're serious enough, a point will be reached like it was reached in my life where either you will start a business

or someone will ask you to do something like write a book

or make a film and the world will open up for you

and you'll be able to do it because you have

that you've laid the ground you've laid the soil everything is there it's rich

and now something great amazing will sprout up out of it.

But for those that don't they just don't have

that belief can you lie to yourself can you tell yourself I am strong and I am powerful?

Well, everybody had some good qualities, right?

Everybody, I think almost everybody has something that they can go back to in the past and go, I was actually very good at that, that was actually a good moment,

I actually was scored in that particular moment.

And you can think about that.

I mean, actors do that all the time in movies, when they want to express an emotion, They go back into their past,

like they have to express sadness.

They go back and they think about their father or mother who died and they call that emotion up.

You can call that emotion up of when you did something actually really great.

100

You might have only been in high school when you were on the sports team and you threw the touchdown or something.

101

Okay, think about that and it'll come back to you.

102

Everybody has something that they can be confident about, I hope.

103

judge people based on their intelligence, on their charm, on whether they're good or bad, etc. Judge them on their character,

104

whether they have a weak or a strong character.

105

A weak character is somebody who cannot take criticism.

106

That is probably the number one characteristic.

107

The worst trait I think in people, and a definite trait of negativity, is somebody who can't take any kind of criticism.

108

They're so defensive.

109

So that means they can get away with anything.

110

They can say anything they want, and there's just like a wall, a shell around them.

111

A strong character is a person who can take criticism, who can work with other people, right?

112

Who can deal with stressful situations, who can handle responsibility, and if something goes wrong, they take...

113

I'm to blame for it.

114

They don't look at other people.

115

There's somebody you can rely on.

116

You lean on them, and there's something there to lean on.

117

You can rely on them in situations.

118

So the ability in a work situation, in a relationship, to take criticism and be able to use it constructively

119

is an incredibly useful and powerful trait to me that reveals strong character.

120

How people handle stress is a really good sign of their character.

121

In a work situation, people are good at faking it and pretending that they're very strong.

122

But when it gets really stressful and there's a lot of pressure on it, the mask falls off and they reveal that they can't handle it.

123

They're too weak.

124

They're reacting to everything.

125

They can't get out of the moment.

126

They're so impatient, you know, and fragile.

127

And so the ability to handle stress shows that somebody has something strong inside of them, right?

128

How they handle power.

129

When people are kind of climbing up the ladder in a group or in a job, they generally try and pretend like they're with the group.

130

But once they have power, that all falls off, and they can become abusive, and they feel like they can get away with anything that they couldn't get away with before.

131

They treat people below them miserably, etc. So when people have power, how do they handle it?

132

Are they responsible?

133

Do they suddenly become somebody different?

134

or do they maintain the character that they had beforehand?

135

What kind of partners do they choose?

136

Do they choose a spouse, a husband, a girlfriend, etc.? Somebody that they can push around, somebody that's inferior to them so that they can feel better about themselves?

137

How do they look when they're playing like a game

138

or they're in outdoor activities or something that has nothing to do with work?

139

Are they so competitive they have to win at everything, even when it's like outside of that kind of environment, you know?

140

These are kind of traits that help me sort of judge a person's character.

141

It's better to admit it and it's better to be able to play the game when you have to.

142

Like always say less than necessary.

143

It's going to save you a lot of pain.

144

You don't have to go around all your life practicing these things.

145

I don't think you want to.

146

In looking at powerful people, the person who talks less always gives off a greater aura of power than the people that are yabbering all the time,

147

all the time that are talking, that can't control their tongue.

148

And the idea is, if you can't control your mouth, if you just keep talking and talking, it gives an aura to other people that you can't control anything else.

149

You have no self-control.

150

And that is a very unpowerful aura.

151

And obviously, the more you talk, the more you are prone to say something kind of stupid and irrational that you're going to regret.

152

And so powerful people know to command an audience, They sit there, they let other people talk and argue,

153

and then occasionally they utter something that's maybe a little bit ambiguous.

154

Whoa, that's very interesting.

155

Robert said that.

156

What does that mean?

157

You look powerful.

158

You give off an air of mystery.

159

You give off an air of control.

160

A lot of people have a hard time with it because they think, wow, should I just be able to say whatever I want and just talk?

161

Well, no, you don't.

162

Not in the social world, not in the work world.

163

It's going to get you in trouble.

164

Learn to control what you talk

165

and learn that there are moments that saying less is actually much more powerful than just yammering on and on.

166

What advice would you have for young men that are feeling a little lost in the modern world?

167

Well, you have to be comfortable with who you are and with your masculinity.

168

The word masculine has now got like this negative connotation around it, which is terrible, because you're a young man.

169

It's not every young man.

170

Some men don't feel this way, But a lot of young men, I remember myself, you've got this testosterone that's roaring through you,

171

you're competitive, you're ambitious, you have goals, you have this energy, you want to assert yourself.

172

But it's bad, it's bad, it's bad.

173

You're not supposed to be like that, you know?

174

And so, and the culture isn't about, there's no virtue in masculinity.

175

Okay, there is such a thing as toxic masculinity, most definitely.

176

There are virtues in being masculine and have to be redefined.

177

And we have to have icons and role models for that.

178

And so when I was growing up, you know, I watched like a lot of westerns.

179

You know, it was the silent hero kind of thing, the Gary Cooper thing.

180

But my idea of masculinity growing up was a man who was in control of himself, who wasn't mean, wasn't pushing people around,

181

who is decent, who treated women well.

182

So treating women well is a masculine virtue, is a good thing.

183

It comes from a position of strength.

184

You're not insecure about your masculinity.

185

You don't have to prove that you're a man by demeaning women, by pushing them around.

186

You can respect women, and respecting them is a sign of your strength, a sign of being secure in your masculinity.

187

You don't need to put other people down to make yourself feel better.

188

okay so we have to redefine these qualities

189

but there are no icons like out out there you either

190

have the Andrew Tate's out of there you have these wimpy men who are just

191

so afraid of being masculine your aggression your assertiveness your testosterone

192

it's a good thing it's how things get done it's what

193

energizes you what puts you in the world it makes what makes you ambitious it makes you assert yourself

194

and motivate yourself it has to be channeled it has to be disciplined

195

but you have to see who you are and see the virtue

196

and see the power in that and it's a cultural problem

197

because men are very confused so now it's very difficult

198

because you're being told that all these things

199

that you feel naturally are negative they're only negative

200

if you can't control them

201

so self-control is a very masculine quality you're able to control

202

yourself you're able to control your passions you're able to not talk too much

203

if you don't need to talk too much

204

but they're good they're just how you use them

205

that can be bad i channeled it all of my aggression all of

206

that testosterone i poured into my books i poured that edge that aggression

207

that like damn you i don't really like you i don't

208

like the world into the 48 laws of power into here's

209

how these manipulative is how people manipulate these are how people can be bad

210

and cruel and damn it i'm going to get all my aggression by exposing it

211

and showing it and being as real and direct.

212

I channel it into something as opposed to hurting other people kind of thing.

213

So finding ways to channel your aggressive tendencies is a positive way of being a man.

214

You have to find whatever that is.

215

Sports is a great example, but there are other things as well.

216

Thank you.

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.
