1
My dad is a doctor, my mum doctor, me their firstborn son, YouTuber, and also a doctor.
2
But getting there wasn't easy.
3
It was filled with immense sacrifice, countless nights of studying, and the slowly worsening, crushing weight of all the pressure that was mounted on me.
4
My parents, especially my mum, always pushed academics over anything else.
5
So if the results were anything less than straight A's, then I could have tried a little harder.
6
I just had to put in a bit more effort.
7
I always had the potential to do it.
8
Because Mars, if it's not you, then who?
9
Mom.
10
I'm eight.
11
I was expected to get straight A's in every single subject.
12
Except for PE, for which you'd just say, oh, you know, that's just sports.
13
And back then I was like, yeah, I hate sports.
14
You're so based, Mom.
15
You're giving, serving, slaying, six, seven, maxing.
16
But now, as an adult being told that spores isn't important, I totally disagree.
17
Like, you definitely need to get some exercise.
18
I am a doctor after all.
19
Now, do I also sit at my computer working on YouTube for hours on end, muscles decaying, bones wasting away?
20
Yes, but hey, do as I say and not as I do, okay?
21
Please, thank you.
22
Being the first son of two doctors, there was so much cultural pressure to continue and pursue medicine to carry on the legacy of the family.
23
And I didn't really have any excuse at this point.
24
They got me cornered.
25
This indoctrination, or indoctrination, started super young.
26
I had to learn four languages by the time I turned four.
27
You can do the math on that one.
28
But they also made me learn up to the 20 times tables, memorize 100 notable historic figures and why they were famous, practicing global geography with my brother and failing at it, recite 20 chapters of our holy book, and know cardiac anatomy by age 10.
29
This is all true.
30
I now realize I didn't have a normal childhood.
31
Oh gosh, I need therapy.
32
What do you see here?
33
Oh no.
34
What about this?
35
What?
36
Is that the sponsor of this video?
37
Ark Knights Enfield is a 3D RPG that managed to combine real-time strategic combat along with immersive world exploration of the planet Talos II.
38
You, as the end administrator, can develop the world through factory building and explore, defend, and expand humanity's frontier.
39
I love factory building games as it is, so it was already a major bonus for me.
40
But the fully 3D narrative presentation with custom cutscenes, the diverse playable roster with 26 characters, each with their unique skillsets, and the dynamic combat system using up to 4 operators?
41
That was enough to convince me to check it out.
42
The newest update, at the wake of spring, is a brand new core chapter to Arknight's end field.
43
Not only does it continue the Wu Ling storyline to an incredible climax, but as the situation develops, you have to join forces with the anticipated 6 star operator, Zhuangfang Yi, to confront the incredible new boss, Neferith.
44
I don't want to give much away, but the huge scale, multiple phases and spectacle of it all, it really will blow you away.
45
Not to mention the new explorable regions in Wuling, like Markerstone and Test Area, the AIC updates and so much more in terms of player awards, including a free monthly pass to all players, which are huge boosts that you don't want to miss.
46

47
now using the link in the description and pinned comment below.
48
Thank you again, Arknights Enderfield, for sponsoring this video and letting me defend humanity.
49
If only you could have defended me about what was to come, because if home lessons weren't enough, my parents also enrolled me into an additional after-school math and reading tutor called Kumon.
50
Oh, here we go.
51
I hate Kumon with a passion.
52
Why was I spending extra time outside of homework to study more?
53
I was also 10.
54
Like, bro, all I want to do is play Pokemon.
55
I'm just I'm about to catch Dialga!
56
It's okay, Beta.
57
If anyone can do this, it's you.
58
This was a very nice sentiment that unfortunately went straight down the toilet because I cheated so hard.
59
Kumon is all about independent study, growing, not playing Pokemon so much, you know?
60
But when I found out they gave my parents the answer sheet for proofreading.
61
Oh boy, time to independently study how to rob my own education.
62
They didn't realize that the answers were in the folder that Kumon gave us, so it was ridiculously easy for me to slip out and transcribe all the answers, resulting in straight 100% on every single paper I touch.
63
Young Mii should have studied, because then he would have realized that getting every single answer correct every single time was a surefire way of being called out, because the very next time we went to Kumon, they sat me down and had me do a test in front of them, and I failed every single question.
64
I'm gonna die.
65
I'm so sorry.
66
I'm gonna be a YouTuber.
67
I need to do this.
68
I'm gonna be a YouTuber.
69
It's probably a good thing they caught it early though.
70
You definitely don't want your doctor developing a cheating habit.
71
So I'll just make an incision right here.
72
I can retake this, right?
73
Hey, chat GPT.
74
How do I suture a heart?
75
That trauma, I mean, learning hiccup, helped me realise the importance of actually studying.
76
Because one day, despite sitting through an extremely difficult math exam, I still got a 99% A plus on it, beating out everybody else in my grade.
77
And after getting this award, I ran off ecstatic about my results, so giddy, to tell my parents, Mom, I got 99% on this exam.
78
Are you proud of me?
79
Where's the 1%?
80
Wait, what?
81
Where's the 1%?
82
I'm sorry, I just, I didn't know.
83
Because if anybody can do it, it's you.
84
But thank you, I guess.
85
As you can imagine, this worsened my already competitive nature because I now had to get 100% or else I was a failure.
86
During high school, these expectations started to get much more overbearing.
87
My parents asked me about what I wanted to do for my career, really pushing me to try to be a doctor.
88
And I just had to stand up and tell them, no, I will never, ever go to medical school, no matter what ha- Ah, shit.
89
I already talked about why I decided to pursue medicine in another video, but here's some bits that I didn't mention.
90
Despite attaining the success that my parents mapped out for me, I didn't feel successful at all.
91
In fact, just a year into medical school, I couldn't help but feel hollow and spiteful that I wasn't able to pursue what I actually wanted to do.
92
Draw, make videos, tell stories, just, you know, being creative.
93
And that's what led to this YouTube channel that I started secretly, which didn't last very long.
94
Bitta, what are you working on?
95
I am not throwing away my shot, mom!
96
This started off as a hobby, an escape from the strict expectations that my parents had for me.
97
Once my channel started to grow, that internal trigger for success kicked in and I had to give 100% to YouTube.
98
Whilst also giving 100% in medical school and all of my extracurricular things like committees, going on tour, playing on local theatre, I had to give 100% for that too.
99
And a simple fact that I just had to realise at that time and even now is that I do not have 300% of energy.
100
And so it was, and still is, an incredibly tough balance to maintain.
101
But then, in the midst of all of this now self-inflicted pressure, I muttered something under my breath that had become ingrained into me.
102
If anybody can do it, it's you.
103
It was from then on that I started to reflect on how I was raised, how I was carrying these expectations and pressure.
104
Because from my parents' perspective, I totally get it.
105
They have given up every single aspect of their life to be able to go across to a brand new country, purely to chase opportunities for their own family.
106
I'm sure they want the utmost best for us, and performing well in academics will be able open up as many doors as possible, hopefully starting a positive cycle that benefits generations going forward, paying tribute to what my extended family did for both my parents.
107
So looking back, all of this becomes subconscious and retrospective lessons for me.
108
Kumon highlighting the need for independence, instilling the mindset of working first, then playing later, and to be honest when it comes to academics,
109
the 99% debacle underpinned that we have to strive for the best that we possibly can, learn from what fell through the cracks and digest it in a way to help us improve for the next time, but also be satisfied with the end result no matter what.
110
Lastly, the time in university was important to learn how to handle pressure, how to be resilient and how to work my way through whatever needs to be done.
111
I do think there's a balance to be had here when it comes to encouragement, pressure and trauma.
112
And sometimes people can do things behaviorally that hurt you for a very long time.
113
and puts a lot of responsibility on you to overcome it.
114
What may put things into perspective is that parents don't often know what they're doing, especially with their first kid.
115
I'm at the age now where my parents had me.
116
I am definitely, definitely not perfect.
117
So I realise now that it wasn't fair to have expected that from my parents either.
118
So I want to say thank you, mum and dad, for pushing me to succeed,
119
for supporting me throughout medical school, for giving me the mindset to be able to pursue my creative endeavors, and of course, fully and completely believing in me.
120
I never could have become the person I am today without the hard work and sacrifices that you had to make.
121
I hope that I've made you proud.
122
And for those who are going through their own struggles, it may sound corny, but we as people are so much more capable than we give ourselves credit for.
123
I sincerely do hope that you can overcome whatever adversity comes your way.
124
And I don't know if this will work for you, but if anybody can do it, it's you.

맥락 및 배경

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.
