Практика Shadowing: How to Become Extraordinary (or Not) - Изучайте разговорный английский по видео

1
If you're like me, you're probably binge watching your 81st video right now.
2
Hey, I can't blame you.
3
I do the same shit.
4
But you know, it's funny watching YouTube all the time or being on social media all the the time,
5
you're always exposed to the most extraordinary parts of human experience.
6
For instance, I can get on YouTube or Instagram
7
and I can instantly see a guy pick up a thousand pounds off the floor
8
and he's got arms like the size of my toilet bowl.
9
Or I can see an eight-year-old who's better at piano than I am at anything, really.
10
You see this encouragement of the extraordinary all over pop culture.
11
You see it in talk shows, you see it in inspirational figures, you see it in commercials, and you especially see it in the self-help industry.
12
One of the biggest things that's sold to you in the self-help industry is
13
that we all have this special extraordinary thing inside us, and it's just waiting to get out.
14
All you need to know is the secret to get it out of you.
15
That unless you're doing something incredible with your life, then it's somehow wasted.
16
I think this is bullshit.
17
In fact, I think the problem isn't so much us, we've lost track of what normal, good human experience is actually like.
18
First of all, most of us are going to be ordinary at the vast majority of things that we do.
19
Second of all, even if you are able to lift a thousand pounds off the ground or whatever,
20
doesn't necessarily make you a good father or a good friend or or even a good person.
21
These extraordinary things that we're exposed to while being super cool
22
and entertaining aren't necessarily the most important metrics to be gauging our lives on.
23
So this is a bell curve and
24
if you wanted to graph most human skills and activities
25
and put all the people who are the very best on the right
26
and all the people who are very worst on the left, what you end up getting is a nice bell shape.
27
The vast majority of people are in the middle somewhere, and as you get out to either extreme, there are fewer and fewer people at those extremities.
28
When we see something like, I don't know, Michael Jordan slam dunking, he's in the 99.9th percentile.
29
He's one of the best human beings that has ever lived.
30
He's on this part of the bell curve.
31
He's so far on this end of the bell curve that you can't even see what's over there.
32
He doesn't even show up on the graph.
33
And then you take somebody like, I don't know, this guy, he's so much worse than everybody.
34
He's on the other end of the bell curve.
35
What all this great technology and media has done to us is that we are constantly exposed to the extremes, to the tail ends of the bell curve,
36
while we go outside and our day-to-day life is in the fat, boring middle.
37
But Mark, if I'm not extraordinary, what do I do with my life?
38
And it's like, well, who says you need to be extraordinary to have a valuable and meaningful life?
39
In fact, I would argue that some of the most important things in life are not extraordinary at all.
40
Things like raising a kid well, things like taking care of your health, being an honest and good person to your friends and family.
41
These are not extraordinary things.
42
In fact, they are the most ordinary things.
43
And I think they're ordinary things for a reason, because they're the most important.
44
And there's a paradox to this as well.
45
If you want to do one of those extraordinary things, the way you do it is by doing the ordinary extremely well for a long time.
46
For instance, that dude who lifts a thousand pounds, I mean, he's probably been hitting the gym three hours a day for the last 25 years.
47
There's nothing extraordinary about going into the gym and lifting slightly more weight than you did last time.
48
When you compound that over the course of decades, you end up with an extraordinary result.
49
But if you go into it looking for the extraordinary result, you're going to create false expectations and you're just going to feel like shit about yourself.
50
And so there's this contrast.
51
Our actual lived experience is, I'm just like everybody fucking else.
52
But our expectation is, is I should be jumping out of planes in a wingsuit and fucking landing on Mount Everest.
53
It's one of those things that while the intention is very good, I think it causes more suffering than it resolves.
54
So I say fuck being extraordinary.
55
Let's bring back the ordinary.
56
Let's bring back being average.
57
Because if we're being honest, we're all pretty average most of the time.
58
And that's okay.

Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
