1
what would you advise people who wish to find meaning in their lives by embracing their responsibilities but find themselves unmotivated
2
oh you're probably you're probably forcing yourself too much that'd be
3
my guess you're using the heavy hand of power right you're you want to invite yourself to play
4
so how do you do
5
that well figure out a game you want to play you know
6
and then make a plan it's like how do you do
7
that well this is what christ tells his followers in the gospels he says knock and the door will open
8
ask and you will receive seek and you'll find okay
9
so you have a problem you want to be motivated
10
so you have to meditate you have to pray you have to think okay
11
if i could have what i needed to be enthusiastic about working towards it what would that be?
12
And that's a question everyone should ask themselves.
13
It's like, what the hell do you want?
14
What would satisfy you?
15
Well, first of all, you have to ask the question, right?
16
And people don't.
17
They're afraid to for all sorts of reasons.
18
And then you have to accept the answer.
19
And you might think, well, that's impossible.
20
It's no, no. I'll tell you what's impossible.
21
Stumbling forward, depressed, anxious, hopeless, and unmotivated.
22
That's impossible.
23
Striving to attain a difficult goal.
24
that's that's a compelling challenge if you set it up properly and
25
if the end is something you want it's like you could
26
do this in your marriage it's like okay well i tell people to do this in local ways
27
so here's an example um it's a good example imagine coming home at night after work you do
28
that every day let's say take a stereotypical example
29
that takes you about half an hour to make that transition
30
and so that's about five percent of your life is the half an hour every day
31
that you come home after work five percent of your life
32
so you get 20 things like that right you got your life right
33
so you might think well how would i like things to happen
34
when I came home like what would motivate me to come
35
home what would motivate me to keep working how would I
36
like to be greeted how would I like my kids to react
37
when I walk in the door what would response would I like from my wife
38
so that I feel
39
that the work I did during the day was justified how could I make her happy to see me
40
so that we were pleased
41
when we re encountered each other after a day's separation well you can sit there
42
and think that through
43
if you could admit it to yourself you know probably what you want isn't
44
that unreasonable you might be able to negotiate that with her
45
and then you'd have it and then you'd be motivated it's like
46
dare to dream you know ask yourself what do i want with the presumption
47
that you know if you're not completely blind and deluded and
48
and greedy that you could probably have it
49
and the world wouldn't fall apart just because you got something
50
that you needed you could give yourself that break
51
and you have to find out just like you would from
52
when you're making friends with someone it's like what the hell do you want
53
if i could offer you what you wanted what would it
54
be well i don't know it's like well then the first
55
thing you want is to know what you want there's some place to start you know
56
and you can figure it out and
57
if you aim small enough you can figure it out
58
and then so
59
if you're not motivated you're probably living someone else's dream you're
60
laboring under some false illusion you're tyrannizing yourself you're taking on too much responsibility you're using power
61
when invitation would suffice and you don't have a vision well it doesn't have to be
62
that way you could figure out a game you want to play
63
and invite yourself long and that's you can do
64
that that's how life is constituted
65
so don't think it's impossible it's not impossible i told you what was impossible stumbling miserably forward
66
that's impossible that's for sure all right that's good thank you
67
everyone thank you mick nice to see you all thank you everybody for coming

Uitspraak om op te letten
De spreker gebruikt 25 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals you're, don't, you'd. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.
- De klanken “sh” en “zh”: presumption /pɹɪˈzʌmp.ʃən/, illusion /ɪˈl(j)uːʒ(ə)n/, negotiate /nəˈɡəʊ.ʃi.eɪt/, anxious /ˈæŋkʃəs/, separation /ˌsɛp.əˈɹeɪ.ʃən/
- Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: stereotypical /ˌstɛɹ.iː.əˈtɪp.ɪ.kəl/, unreasonable /ʌnˈɹiːz.(ə)nə.bl̩/, enthusiastic /ɪnˌθjuːzɪˈæstɪk/, negotiate /nəˈɡəʊ.ʃi.eɪt/, separation /ˌsɛp.əˈɹeɪ.ʃən/
Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:
- Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: delude /dɪˈluːd/, tyrannize /ˈtɪɹ.ən.aɪz/, strive /ˈstɹaɪv/
- /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: enthusiastic /ɪnˌθjuːzɪˈæstɪk/, satisfy /ˈsætɪsfaɪ/, anxious /ˈæŋkʃəs/, react /ɹiːˈækt/
- /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: greet /ɡɹiːt/, greedy /ˈɡɹiːdi/, negotiate /nəˈɡəʊ.ʃi.eɪt/, gospel /ˈɡɑspəl/

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.
