1
I was thinking this morning about a conversation I had with my grandfather.
2
This particular example, I was living in LA at the time, my grandmother, my grandfather, they flew in from Boston
3
and you know I think we're doing some family stuff
4
but I wanted to hang out with my friends down the street right I wanted to go to Kyle's house, play Star Wars, whatever it was we were doing and that felt like the world to me.
5
Like I didn't want to miss out on that because I felt like I'd lose it.
6
If I wasn't there I'd lose something
7
and I remember him taking me from the kitchen to the
8
living room being like Eddie you have to relax he's like
9
that stuff I promise you will always be there the fun
10
the escape the metaphorical going to Kyle's house will always be there you have to do what's right for you
11
and then when you need that it's there it was almost like all the nuance
12
and the detail is reacquirable and why I'm bringing this up and And it's a little bit of a pivot, but I've seen throughout my life,
13
personally, this sort of loss aversion, like I mentioned a few days ago,
14
where you don't want to leave a bad situation because you fear that the very basic boxes that you've checked, you can't get them back.
15
It's like you can have a job that you're not satisfied, you're unfulfilled, there's nothing great about it.
16
You've lost your sense of self, your purpose, but you're getting a paycheck, right?
17
Or, you know, at least you have some direction in the day or in your life.
18
You can say who you are.
19
There's some identity.
20
There's some very basic boxes.
21
You're not happy, but the basic boxes are checked.
22
And what you fear is if you leave in pursuit of something different, maybe you can't check those boxes again, right?
23
Or you're in a relationship and it's like, it's not right
24
and you know in your core it's not right
25
but there's very basic boxes
26
that are checked right you're not alone you're with someone there's
27
some predictability in your life like it'd be tough to lose those things and
28
so that's really the essence of what I want to say right having the self -belief in the self -trust
29
because that's really what it comes down to to understanding that if you move into the unknown, you can recreate those things.
30
You can check those basic boxes off.
31
But if you don't have the courage to move out of that situation, you'll be shackled to a world that's not really meant for you.
32
Right?
33
So like the job thing.
34
And by the way, I always worry about saying this because there are people that love their jobs.
35
I'm never ever knocking a nine to five.
36
Like it's just my thing, right?
37
That was for me.
38
I felt so constrained and I'm just such a, like I love to be creating and sort of out on the fringes.
39
That's just like what motivates me.
40
That's not how everyone works.
41
So I don't want this to be interpreted as me bashing a nine to five.
42
It's just my story.
43
But like I, I realized that I could have walked away
44
come back in a year after living in Thailand and things would have been exactly the same when I got back.
45
I could have got a similar job, I could have found ways to check off those same boxes.
46
Those foundational things, they're reacquirable.
47
Just like the relationship thing.
48
It's like if it's not right for you, there's eight billion people in the world.
49
Eight billion.
50
You think one of those doesn't share your value system, one of those you can have fun with, hang out with, relax, enjoy yourself, improve your life.
51
Like, of course you can.
52
But you're worried about losing the very basics, the very basic boxes that you've checked.
53
And it's like you have to have the courage and self -belief to walk away from those things.
54
You have to believe in yourself enough to know that you can recreate a reality, right?
55
With a similar foundation but with the things on top of that that make you happy, make you feel alive.
56
Like I'm prone to do, I found a random internet quote today.
57
It says, I am learning to love the sound of my feet walking away from things that are not meant for me.
58
And it's that simple.
59
You can never get where you're going if you're shackled to the things that don't move you.
60
If you're staying in a place of discontent
61
And the message is simple right believe in yourself trust yourself There's nothing in your life that you can't reacquire or rebuild
62
But what you'll miss if you stay in
63
that place is the opportunity the upside the people that will change your life the places
64
That you've never seen the experiences the journeys that Thank you make life worth living.
65
The upside is just too high.
66
Commit.
67
The only limit to your impact is your imagination and your commitment.
68
The fence is for losers.
69
Right?
70
That's a harsh way to put it, but that's the reality is things get better when you look at life from a binary standpoint.
71
You either want it or you don't.
72
And if you want it, why wouldn't you go all in?
73
And if you don't, why would you touch it?
74
I can't tell you how many times I've been, you know, one toe in the water and it's like, why?
75
Do you want this or not?
76
First time I heard this freshman year in college.
77
And it was one of those things where I always thought I worked hard, you know, I always kind of jumped into what I was doing
78
and I wanted to get good grades and I invested in what I did.
79
But I realized that I didn't quite grasp what it meant.
80
And I walk up to the student center and I'm looking around
81
and there's a flyer and it says Holy Cross D1 Men's Rowing.
82
And I'm like, yes, this is perfect.
83
You know, I can make friends with like -minded people, you know, stay in shape.
84
This is amazing and I go up and there are 73 people there walk -ons
85
And what I didn't realize at the time was that they don't make cuts
86
Quit or you don't senior year when we graduated four walk -ons were left
87
And we always joke about it because
88
It's not like we were far more talented or we had this superior skill set we just committed to the process.
89
We committed to the ups and the downs and the trials and the tribulations and the difficulty.
90
One of my first practices, you guys know what a rowing machine is?
91
The thing in the gym you sit down and you pull?
92
Pretty straightforward.
93
You pull, it tells you exactly how hard you pull.
94
That's it.
95
And so I'm sitting there, we're doing five sprints, 2 ,000 meter sprints, and I'm suffering, you know, just going the world of hurt.
96
And after the second one I get up and I go to the bathroom, I'm throwing up, I have a headache, I'm dizzy, and just feeling so sorry for myself.
97
I'd never experienced anything like that before, this is all new to me.
98
And eventually I get it together and I go down, I sit on the erg, you know, feeling like a hero.
99
It's like, alright, I'm back.
100
And I sit down, grab the thing, and the coach walks up next to me.
101
He goes, it's Eddie, right?
102
Yeah, it's Eddie.
103
He goes, yeah, that score won't cut it.
104
And walks away.
105
and that was not a nice thing to hear because I always associated suffering with paying the price, right?
106
How could I be going through that type of punishment and have someone respond that way, right?
107
So we start the piece and now I'm like, I have something to prove and I'm just ripping the thing as hard as I can
108
and just not in a good place and he comes up again.
109
I'm like, all right, good, right?
110
Now he understands.
111
He goes, look, Eddie, I don't know what you have to do mentally.
112
I don't know what you have to do physically, but you gotta figure it out.
113
And that's where it occurred to me, showing up isn't enough.
114
Being in pain isn't enough because the guy from Georgetown you're racing on Saturday, the guy from Northeastern you're racing on Saturday, they hurt too.
115
But they're pulling faster.
116
Winning, truly winning is committing in every single way.
117
It's immersing yourself in something because if you want to be great,
118
that's what it takes So in this parable,
119
there's a man and he's walking through a circus and
120
What he's noticing as he looks around he sees these massive elephants, right?
121
I'm sure everyone knows how big
122
and strong an elephant is they have a rope around one of their legs connected to something
123
and that's what's holding them in place and he's looking at them thinking how are these enormous creatures
124
being held in place by these little ropes right they could
125
easily you know have enough strength to just break free
126
and run around yet they're not they're all staying right where they are
127
and so as he keeps walking he finds someone
128
and he asks them you know how is it these elephants are constrained like
129
that and the person explains well
130
when they're little we do the same thing we take a
131
rope we tie it to one of their legs connect it to something
132
and at that point they are too small they can't go anywhere
133
and every day you know we do the same thing
134
and as they get older they don't realize that they're big enough or strong enough to break free
135
They maintain the idea that they're shackled by that rope or tied by that rope, that they're bound to the same place.
136
It's mental.
137
And in fact, most limitations are mental.
138
These elephants don't even realize their constraints are self -imposed.
139
And if you take a step back, if you look at your own world,
140
I think what you'd find is there are more of these ropes than we'd like to admit.
141
And changing that is one, awareness, and two, a willingness.
142
Like what types of parameters have you made for yourself?
143
Are you living in just because that's what you've always done?
144
What is your metaphorical rope?
145
Is it a job?
146
Is it a relationship?
147
Is it a routine?
148
Is it the courage to start something?
149
Like what is holding you back?
150
What stories have you told yourself are you living by
151
that dictate your actions and your days and ultimately your happiness that can change with a tug on a metaphorical rope?
152
See reality, your life is nothing more than what you've conceded to, what you've allowed it to be.
153
It's a line in the sand.
154
And the message today is so incredibly simple.
155
It's to look around you and pinpoint where those lines can be redrawn.
156
Where that rope needs to be pulled.
157
What invisible walls have you created for yourself?
158
Because in life there's one truth, right?
159
Things only stop when you do.
160
Life stops when you decide to stop and sometimes you realize it and sometimes you don't
161
Sometimes you need the reminder to look around you
162
And realize how courageous you are how much you're capable of if you see beyond the immediate
163
Because reality was not destined to be it's what you've allowed.
164
It's what you've created.
165
It's what you've accepted So let's tear down those walls and build something incredible Have an amazing Saturday.
166
Catch you guys tomorrow.
167
I want to talk about a myth.
168
And it's a myth, it's an idea that's commonplace in our lives
169
and it's rooted in a lot of the decisions we make, as well as the actions that we do not take.
170
It's this idea of certainty.
171
Of a formula, something that's already out there that will get you from point A to point B.
172
See, breaking it down further, there are two things you need to know about certainty.
173
One is that it's an idea derived from fiction.
174
There's no way of knowing exactly what the top of the mountain will look like.
175
And waiting for that to materialize,
176
to have that crystal clear step -by -step formula, it creates stagnation.
177
We don't have perfection, so we don't move.
178
It's one of those things where you wait and days turn to days
179
and more days and weeks and months and years and eventually regret.
180
Why?
181
Because we were not certain.
182
And what do we do?
183
See, this leads to the second piece.
184
We study everything.
185
We live in a time where we have access to unlimited resources.
186
And it's this incredible thing, right?
187
We can study the LeBron James, the Jeff Bezos, the Gary Vaynerchuks of the world.
188
We can see exactly what they did.
189
We can see how they think, how they approach problems, how they get to solutions.
190
And on one hand, it's an unbelievable benefit.
191
Knowledge is power.
192
But on the other hand, there's a cost.
193
And this cost can be extremely detrimental because it mitigates the most important thing in your life, and that is your unique self.
194
What makes you valuable?
195
What do you bring to the world?
196
What makes you tick?
197
And I'll tell you right now, you do not find that by studying how Jeff Bezos started Amazon and attempting to duplicate it.
198
You don't find that by simply copying LeBron James' workout routine.
199
Your value.
200
Your source of happiness.
201
You know, that's discovered moving forward through ups and downs, falling and getting back up, not once, not twice, but repeatedly.
202
And it's through those trials and tribulations that you carve out who you are.
203
But if you wait for the perfect moment, you'll never find it, which means you will never go through this process.
204
I often think back to my days in the corporate world, in the insurance industry, being in a situation that I was not thriving in.
205
And if someone sat me down and said, Eddie, what do you want to do?
206
What is the top of the mountain?
207
What does success look like to you?
208
I couldn't answer that.
209
But what I did know was that I loved to create.
210
I loved to speak, to write, compose music, produce videos, just put out content.
211
That's what I was destined to do and I knew it.
212
But if I waited to move until I knew exactly what my life would look like, until there was, you know,
213
this path perfectly paved to the finish line, I'd still be there.
214
I'd be in a cubicle crunching numbers in Excel in a weirdly painted beige room.
215
But sometimes you have to move forward.
216
Trust your gut, your instincts, what you love to do.
217
Embrace the idea, the fact that you'll fall down and you'll fall down and you'll get back up.
218
But that it will shape you and that as you go on living your passion, your purpose, thriving in life, the pieces come together.
219
You have to trust that even when it's not certain because I'll tell you what is certain.
220
If you do not move, you will not achieve.
221
that world will spin right around you.
222
I read a book a few months ago called Hatching Twitter.
223
Simple read, it's about the founders of Twitter, Jack, Ev, all these guys with their different ideas and different notions of what this company is going to be.
224
It started out as, I believe, a radio, online radio company and it evolved and it evolved
225
and there were pivots and adjustments and alterations and they kept moving forward and they kept growing.
226
And there's one point where they have a valuation of millions and millions of dollars and they're having a conversation like, what do we have?
227
What is our company?
228
Is real -time news the focus?
229
Are we promoting social interaction?
230
Like what is it?
231
How do we brand this?
232
How do we market it?
233
What do we have on our hands?
234
This is a company worth millions of dollars.
235
Talk about just moving forward, taking it one step at a time.
236
Things will change, they'll evolve, but you have to give yourself an opportunity for that to happen.
237
Imagine if they never left the garage
238
or whatever room they started the company in because they didn't know what it would be in 2017.
239
We wouldn't have Twitter.
240
And that applies to everything around us, right?
241
We have this idea that you know things were meant to be they were destined
242
No
243
Things exist around us because of risks that were taken
244
Because people pushed forward until they got a result until they knew what they were meant to do
245
and it materialized and that is life So don't be scared to take that step don't be nervous To fall down
246
You need that.
247
The world needs that.
248
Because without it, we'll have could -bes and some days.
249
But not the existence that we want, that you deserve, that you're capable of acquiring.
250
No longer is certainty the standard.
251
Progress is the standard.
252
And your life will change.
253
Let's talk about fear.
254
One of the most interesting aspects of being human.
255
Our fear of touching the stove prevents us from burning our hand.
256
In many ways, it's our greatest protector.
257
But it's also outdated.
258
It can obstruct us from the things that we want most.
259
For thousands and thousands of years, it has kept our species alive.
260
Those who weren't afraid or skeptical of the dark cave or the rustling in the bushes, they probably didn't make it too long back in the day, right?
261
They would have been weeded out.
262
But the thing is, life today is very different than it was back then.
263
We don't have to fear for our life going to get food anymore.
264
The tricky part is that in many ways our cognitive processes are still the same.
265
We are wired to be afraid.
266
And this can be a problem.
267
Because if these fears limit our ability to grow or live the life that we want to live, then that fear, that primal instinct can be a barrier.
268
Because the human body will always take the path of least resistance.
269
And for us, that means avoiding the problem.
270
It's just easier.
271
Right, if I'm scared of public speaking, it is exponentially easier for me to avoid the problem and not deal with it.
272
I can eliminate the pain and discomfort by simply staying home.
273
But here's the issue with that mentality.
274
Life is too short and too precious to waste.
275
Think about all the opportunities we'd miss if we ran the other way and hid every time we were afraid.
276
If we never pushed ourselves.
277
If we never broke through the barrier of the unknown and sought out more, it would be a tragedy.
278
We'd live a fraction of the life that we're capable of living.
279
So the big question is how?
280
How do we overcome fear?
281
Well, it turns out the answer is simple, it's just not easy.
282
If you've ever jumped into a freezing cold pool, you'll be able to relate to this.
283
As soon as your body hits the water, you go through extreme discomfort, right?
284
Pins, needles, that quick shock you feel.
285
The only thing on your mind is being out of the pool, being warm.
286
But as time goes by, this changes.
287
Your body acclimates, you adjust.
288
And after five minutes, you can get out, you can jump back in.
289
There's no discomfort, you're completely fine.
290
While facing our fears follows a very similar pattern, the more we expose ourselves to a certain stimulus, the more comfortable we become.
291
Tim Ferriss references this in the context of going to a crowded place, sprawling out on the floor, lying on your back as people walk by.
292
It's an incredibly difficult and anxiety -inducing thing to do.
293
It goes against every instinct we have, but something happens when you get back up.
294
You've taught your brain that there are no negative repercussions, that it's okay.
295
And this pushes the bar a little higher, makes you a little braver, stretches your boundaries a little further.
296
Emphasizing the point that to get what we want out of life, to overcome fear, to be better than we were yesterday,
297
we cannot avoid what makes us uncomfortable.
298
Quite the opposite, we need more exposure to it.
299
To destroy your fears, you need to muster up the courage to stare them in the face. And that's tough, right?
300
Our mind tricks us into thinking about worst case scenario.
301
But if you can change your mentality to see not the downside but the upside, life changes along with it.
302
Now the scariest outcome isn't failure or having to backtrack or being wrong.
303
The scariest outcome is doing nothing.
304
What we eventually learn is that dark, mysterious unknown isn't half as scary as standing still and watching life go by.

7 Principles That Will Organize Your Entire Life
Business EnglishUniversity StudentsWorking Adults
Para quem é este vídeo?
Se você quer aprender inglês com vídeos de forma prática e motivadora, este conteúdo é perfeito! Ideal para intermediários que buscam melhorar a fala e o shadowing em inglês, ele combina lições de vida com conversações naturais. A linguagem é coloquial, cheia de expressões do dia a dia, o que ajuda a se sentir confortável ao falar. Se seu objetivo é dominar a fluência e a confiança, este vídeo é um aliado excelente — e com ele, você pode praticar o shadowing site ou até mesmo usar técnicas de shadowspeak para imitar a pronúncia.
Palavras e expressões para "roubar"
O diálogo tem várias gems que valem a pena memorizar:
- Lose aversion: Aversão à perda (medo de perder algo, mesmo que não seja bom).
- Check the boxes: Cumprir requisitos básicos (ex: "ter um salário" ou "não estar sozinho").
- Shackled to: Prisioneiro(a) de (sentir-se preso a uma situação ruim).
- Out on the fringes: Fora da rotina, inovador (gostar de criar e não seguir padrões).
Como acertar o sotaque nesse vídeo
O orador tem uma pronúncia clara, mas com alguns detalhes para praticar no shadowing em inglês. Observe a intonation (entonação) nas frases longas: ele baixa a voz no final de ideias conclusivas, como "you'll be shackled to a world that's not really meant for you". Além disso, preste atenção aos contractions (contrações), como "it's" e "you're" — elas tornam a fala mais fluida. Use o método de shadowspeak: reproduza pequenos trechos, pause e imite o ritmo e a entonação. Isso ajuda a treinar o ouvido e a boca a se mover como um nativo. Lembre: a prática diária, mesmo por 5 minutos, faz toda a diferença! E se precisar de um shadowing site para auxiliar, busque plataformas que permitam repetir trechos várias vezes.
Continue praticando, e você verá que aprender inglês com vídeos é uma forma divertida e eficaz de melhorar sua fala. O shadowspeaks é uma técnica poderosa — use-a e veja seus progressos!
Gramática neste vídeo
As estruturas que o falante mais usa, com as palavras exatas do vídeo:
| Estrutura | No vídeo |
|---|---|
| Frases condicionais if + oração, will/would + verbo — uma condição e seu resultado | If I wasn't there I'd lose · if you want it, why wouldn't you · if you don't, why would you |
| Present perfect have/has + particípio passado — uma ação passada que ainda importa agora | I've seen · you've checked · You've lost |
| Voz passiva be + particípio passado — o foco está no que acontece, não em quem faz | are checked · be shackled · be interpreted |
O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
