1
welcome to the vocabulary lesson for solve a problem let's start at the top
2
we have a quote from henry david thoreau says i have long been of the opinion
3
that if work were such a splendid thing the rich would have kept more of it for themselves
4
and we have the word splendid.
5
Splendid means wonderful.
6
Great.
7
Fantastic. So it's splendid.
8
Splendid.
9
Splendid means wonderful.
10
So he's saying, if work was so wonderful, rich people would work more.
11
Right?
12
So it's kind of a joke that rich people make poor people work a lot, but rich people don't work a lot so maybe work isn't
13
so great actually that's what he's he's saying all right next we have another quote from robert kiyosaki
14
and he says to become successful quickly become an expert
15
at solving a certain type of problem
16
don't diversify okay diversify diversify means
17
to do many different kinds of things it kind of means variety similar to variety
18
but it's a verb it's an action so to diversify means to do many different things or to get many different things.
19
For example, when we invest, if you buy stocks from companies,
20
often people say you should diversify.
21
It means don't buy only one company,
22
by many different companies it's safer people think it's safer
23
so robert kiyosaki saying in your job
24
or in your business don't diversify he means don't try to do a lot of different things Don't do that.
25
Only do one kind of thing and be an expert.
26
That's the secret to success for Robert Kiyosaki.
27
So don't diversify.
28
Only do one kind of thing.
29
And he says, become an expert at solving one type of problem.
30
Then people will come to you.
31
If you are good and trustworthy, you will reach your financial fast track more quickly.
32
Okay, fast track, financial fast track.
33
Fast track is the fast path,
34
the fast way to do something so
35
if we say in a job in a career we say he is on the fast track to success
36
or she is on the fast track to success it means
37
she is succeeding very fast right she has a great job
38
she knows a lot of people she's going to succeed quickly she's on the fast track to success
39
so he's saying the fast tracks to success the way
40
to succeed fast is to be good at solving one type of problem
41
okay excuse me
42
and then let's um move down then to paragraph three we have um for example i'm talking about myself now
43
and my friend i have a friend who is a massage therapist
44
she wants to leave her job and create her own massage business okay a therapist is It's somebody who helps other people.
45
So a massage therapist is a person who helps people with massage. So she gives massage.
46
If someone's hurt, she will massage them.
47
If they have some problem, maybe back pain, she will massage their back.
48
They feel better.
49
She is a massage therapist.
50
Okay.
51
so i asked her to describe her business she said i give people massages
52
and then i said that's job thinking i told her no you don't you help people relax
53
and you relieve muscle pain right she's solving a problem muscle pain is the problem
54
that she is solving she relieves muscle pain to relieve means to make better,
55
to make less painful.
56
So you have a pain and then you maybe take medicine.
57
The medicine relieves the pain, makes the pain less.
58
So she relieves the pain with massage, makes it better, makes it less.
59
Okay.
60
And now advice for you it says make a list.
61
Make a list of things you are passionate about.
62
Okay, passionate is a wonderful word.
63
Passionate means you're very excited about something you love a lot.
64
We say you are passionate about it.
65
I love it a lot.
66
I am passionate about English teaching.
67
I really love English teaching a lot.
68
I'm excited about it a lot.
69
I am passionate about it.
70
So you need to think in your life, what are you passionate about?
71
What do you love a lot?
72
What are you excited about a lot?
73
What do you love to do?
74
What are you good at?
75
Think about jobs.
76
Think about hobbies.
77
Think about anything in your life you are passionate about.
78
Once you know your passions, you must identify problems related to those passions.
79
Related to just means connected to, connected to, or involved with.
80
So you have your passions.
81
For example, maybe your passion is bicycle riding.
82
You love bicycles.
83
that's a passion now you need to find a problem related
84
to bicycles right connected to bicycles about bicycles a problem connected
85
to bicycles for example flat tires right the tire that's a
86
problem you're right people ride their bikes their tire boom it
87
breaks they have a flat tire that's a problem related to bicycles.
88
Okay, so you need to find problems related to your passions.
89
Okay, good.
90
Let's go to the next page now.
91
Page two.
92
And then I talk about success comes from being an expert problem solver.
93
That's the way to be very successful in your job or career or with your own business.
94
You have to be an expert problem solver.
95
You solve a certain kind of problem, and you're very good at it.
96
And then I give my own example.
97
I did this with my own teaching.
98
When I started to teach English many years ago, I quickly realized
99
that speaking fluency was the number one problem for students fluency
100
another nice word fluency means flow fluency means movement movement easy
101
movement of words that's the idea it means the words come out of your mouth easily right you have fluency
102
if you speak quickly and easily
103
fluency does not mean perfect you might make mistakes native speakers make mistakes everyone makes mistakes
104
but if you speak easily and quickly very fast very easy that's fluency speaking fluency
105
so i realized ah this is the number one problem right students cannot speak with fluency okay
106
so I said most could read well most of my students could read better than speaking
107
and most had studied a lot of grammar and they took tests
108
but they could not speak or understand quickly and easily
109
so I said aha that's the big problem I need to solve
110
that problem so I decided to be an expert at solving this problem
111
and only this problem i knew i had to focus i deliberately
112
chose not to teach writing deliberately means with choice it means you think about it
113
and you choose to do it not an accident it's not
114
an accident it's deliberate it means you want to do it you choose to do it you think about it first.
115
So I deliberately chose not to teach writing.
116
It wasn't an accident that I don't teach writing, right?
117
I thought about it and then I decided I will not teach writing.
118
I deliberately chose not to do it. And I enjoy writing.
119
In fact, I'm a freelance writer.
120
Freelance means independent.
121
Now, with jobs, freelance means you do not work for a company.
122
For example, as a writer, I did not work for one magazine.
123
I wrote an article.
124
I wrote a story.
125
Then I would sell it to different magazines,
126
sometimes one magazine, sometimes another magazine, right?
127
I was an independent writer.
128
That's called freelance, a freelance writer.
129
You can be a freelance computer expert.
130
You can be freelance anything.
131
It means you work independently.
132
You do a job.
133
They pay you for the job only right you do not go every day
134
and you do not work for
135
that company you just do one small job they give you money
136
and then maybe next time you sell to another company
137
so that's freelance freelance so i'm a freelance writer
138
and i have a degree in journalism i studied journalism in college and university.
139
However, I needed to focus, and speaking was the number one problem I wanted to solve.
140
So I became an expert at helping people speak English easily and fast.
141
I became an expert in one kind of problem.
142
not everything not writing and reading and speaking
143
and uh toefl right just speaking and listening speaking
144
and listening that's it that's what i am an expert at solving that problem okay
145
and then i go into the next paragraph i say sometimes i got in trouble
146
because of this and then the next paragraph i said i talk about i became successful i started my own business
147
effortless english it became very big it's growing it's successful
148
and i said none of this would have happened
149
if i had played it safe second to last paragraph played it safe and done my job like everyone else.
150
A nice phrase.
151
To play it safe means to be careful.
152
To be careful.
153
To play it safe means to be careful.
154
To play it safe means do what is safe, right?
155
Do what is normal.
156
do what everyone does right don't be different that's play it safe
157
so i did not play it safe i was different than other teachers i did not play it safe
158
if you want to be successful really successful in your job career or business do not play it safe
159
do not be the same as everyone do not be super careful
160
okay finally last paragraph that that's the attitude you must have you must decide
161
that solving a problem is more important than making your boss happy you must decide
162
that your long Long -term success is more important than following the rules.
163
Long -term success means future, your long future.
164
So not tomorrow.
165
Tomorrow is not long -term.
166
It means one year, five years, 10 years, 20 years from now.
167
That is long -term short term is tomorrow
168
or next week
169
or next month in the future that's short term it means near future long term is far future
170
or a big future if you want long -term success so success for many years,
171
then you must solve a problem, okay?
172
That is the vocabulary lesson for solve a problem.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
