레슨 만드는 중...
1
You know, going through the process of a why discovery, some people do it young, some people do it middle age, some people do it at the end.
2
I mean, like, my hope is that everyone goes through it.
3
I can tell you from personal experience, it is a profound, rewarding, and inspiring experience to find out who you are, to find out what your why is.
4
And you live your best life.
5
And you live your best life.
6
And I have been operating at a higher sense of purpose since my why discovery.
7
Now, I can tell you a fun way to do it.
8
There's many ways to do it.
9
I've written about it.
10
We help people find it.
11
But I can tell you a fun way to do it.
12
It's called the friend's exercise.
13
Find a friend you love and who loves you.
14
The kind of friend who, if you called them at 3 o 'clock in the morning, you'd know they'd be there for you, and you would be there for them.
15
Do not do this with a spouse.
16
Do not do this with a sibling.
17
Do not do this with a parent.
18
Those relationships are too close.
19
Do it with the best friend.
20
And simply ask them this question.
21
Why are we friends?
22
And they're going to look at you like you're crazy.
23
because the part of the brain that controls language doesn't control feelings, right?
24
Which is why it's hard to put our feelings into words.
25
And so they will struggle.
26
It's not because they don't know, it's just that the words are not available.
27
And they'll hem in the hall.
28
And then, weirdly, you actually stop asking the question why.
29
You start asking the question what.
30
You say, come on, what specifically is it about me that I know you would be there for me no matter what?
31
And they'll start describing you.
32
They'll start saying things like, well, I trust you
33
and I like you and you're funny you have to play devil's advocate
34
that's just the definition of a friend you have
35
that with lots of people what specifically is about me
36
that I know you'd be there for me no matter what don't let anybody help them it's going to be torturous
37
and eventually they'll give up eventually they'll give up and the friendship will end to find someone else exactly
38
Eventually they'll give up and they'll stop trying to describe you and they'll start describing themselves.
39
And what my friend said to me is, Simon, I don't know.
40
All I know is that I can sit in a room with you.
41
I don't even have to talk to you.
42
And I feel inspired.
43
And I got goosebumps.
44
In fact, I'm getting them right now.
45
Because what they told me was the value I have in their life.
46
And the value I have in their life is the thing that I give to the world.
47
I did this with multiple friends.
48
They said very similar, if not the exact same things, because that is my value to them in their lives it's not something
49
that everybody wants which is why we're not friends with everybody
50
and so if you do this with your friends you will come very close
51
and like I said you want to get to the point where they describe themselves
52
and you're the one
53
that has the weird emotional reaction you'll have goosebumps you'll well
54
up with tears whatever it is it's it's a fun it's a fun exercise

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.
