So hi, hello, my sweet little angel babies.
2
I hope we are doing well today.
3
I heard someone say a quote the other day that I haven't heard in a very long time, and it was very inspiring.
4
The quote went, talk is cheap.
5
And I haven't heard that quote since I was like young, right?
6
I haven't heard that since I was like 12.
7
And it really is true.
8
It's 100% true.
9
Anyone can talk about who they want to be, but to actually become who you want to be, it's not about what you say, and it's not about what you think,
10
and it's not about what your intentions are.
11
It's about what your actions are.
12
And I've been thinking a lot about how your actions speak louder than your words in every situation.
13
If you want to know a person or know who someone is, don't listen to a fucking thing that comes out of their mouth.
14
look at what they do and
15
that is a complete reveal of their character how life doesn't
16
care who you think you are life only responds to what
17
you do meaning we can have the best of intentions in
18
the world we can have like this perfect plan this perfect
19
dream we can have all the desire in the world
20
and all the passion to get to a place but
21
if we don't put an equal amount of action and moving our ass behind these intentions, then it's complete bullshit.
22
And I'm gonna kind of give an analogy in a sense.
23
So you know how people say that love is both a feeling and an action.
24
Like when you love another person, you obviously have warm fuzzy feelings towards them, you want to be close to them.
25
But then it is also an action in the sense that you want to do things for them, you want to provide for them, you want to give them gifts, you want to give them words of affirmation.
26
You want to express this feeling that you are feeling and you want to show up for them every single day.
27
People who love one another, truly, they will always show up with action before they ever show up with words.
28
The people I know in my life who love me the deepest, they show up with their actions more than they show up with their words.
29
And that means the world to me.
30
It really, really does.
31
And same way, vice versa, where if I really love a person, I will show up with what I do for them
32
and how I will be there for them and it even
33
if I was completely silent
34
and we never spoke a word to each other we would just completely understand
35
that this relationship exists even without words because the action is there to show
36
that we love one another it's kind of like the way
37
that you love a pet where you can't talk to
38
that pet you can't talk to a dog you can't talk to a cat you can't talk to a bird
39
All you can do is just show up for them.
40
You can feed them.
41
You can take care of them.
42
You can brush them.
43
You can pet them.
44
You can show them that you love them, even without saying a single word that they understand.
45
and the way that you love another person or the way
46
that you love a pet or that you love another being is the same way
47
that you should show up and love yourself
48
because I think it's very easy to say I love myself
49
or even repeat affirmations in the mirror or journal
50
and be like I love myself I'm the best I can do this everything's great
51
but do your actions align with actually loving yourself
52
because I think a lot of us here can think completely with every ounce of our being.
53
I love myself.
54
I am confident.
55
I have a plan.
56
I have a dream.
57
Like sit here and feel that energy.
58
But does that actually translate to something physical?
59
Because, okay, a lot of people like to, let me talk spiritual for half a second.
60
A lot of people like to talk about manifestation, where you have to have your mindset aligned with reality in
61
order to have it come to fruition like you have to love yourself in order for life to be good, or you have to be happy in order for life to be good.
62
Like you have to be in a high vibrational mindset in order for life to be good.
63
There is also another principle of the universe that a lot of people forget, which is the law of aligned action.
64
Meaning that even if you're in a shit headspace, you are the most depressed you've ever been in your life.
65
You were in just a hole of shit.
66
Like you were in a bad place.
67
You can still change your reality by physically aligning your efforts with your desires.
68
Meaning you can out-action a bad mindset.
69
Meaning you can out-action a bad life.
70
Meaning you can out-action your self-hatred.
71
And this is the principle of life that has always worked for me.
72
Because I believe in manifestation to a good degree,
73
meaning like if I think about something and I'm planning something and I'm feeling something, then that energy will come into my life.
74
But it doesn't always work out because I've had dreams, I've had intentions, I've had feelings,
75
I've had plans of things working out in my life and they didn't work out.
76
But you know what never has failed me?
77
Action and getting my ass moving.
78
If I've put enough action behind something, it is always worked out every single time.
79
It's like every single day I made a building block and a building block and a building block and a building block.
80
And then suddenly I have just a giant Lego tower of all the effort I've put in
81
and no one can knock it down because I put that action into my own life.
82
You can put all this intention and all this feeling and all this love behind brushing your teeth and be like, oh yeah, I'm the best at brushing my teeth.
83
I love brushing my teeth.
84
Brushing my teeth is the best.
85
But unless you actually pick up the toothbrush and scrub your own teeth, you will never have clean teeth.
86
Unless you pick up what you need to do and actually do it, intentions don't mean anything.
87
Intentions are shit without action.
88
Intentions are meaningless without action.
89
Because action is the annotated bibliography to your life.
90
You can write the best paper in the entire world, but you will get a zero on it unless you include your annotated bibliography.
91
You can write the best paper in the world, but if you do not have your annotated bibliography at the end, citing every single source that you used, that paper means nothing.
92
You might as well have just written that off of pure speculation, you know, or at least that's the way the English teacher is going to view that paper.
93
if that's the way that life works where you can put all of this effort into something
94
and you can put all this thought and all of this care
95
and all of this passion but
96
if you do not get your ass moving it's completely meaningless null
97
and void and that's what I've been trying to hold myself accountable for
98
because I've been in like a weird headspace recently I've been in kind of a low point of my life
99
and I wrote down every single thing I do in a day and it's like wake up scroll on my phone, forget to eat breakfast, don't go outside,
100
stay on my computer, stay inside.
101
Like all these things that are known to lower your mood, lower your motivation, it's none of the things that actually are building blocks to the life that I want.
102
And so I decided, let's say these are my goals, da-da-da-da-da.
103
What is one step, one small tangible step I can take every day towards these things.
104
And for running, it's like, I don't have to run every day, but as long as I do a workout, I eat healthy, that will get me towards that goal.
105
For, you know, getting into the medical field, it is studying for my medical assistant course, it's studying, you know, biology,
106
microbiology in my free time, signing up for college courses, all of these things, just taking like that one step forward.
107
Even if it's just as simple as waking up a little bit earlier to get you towards those goals, or even if it's as crazy as waking up at 5am, running five miles, eating super healthy,
108
going to your job, like doing all of these things.
109
You need to be able to write down at the end of the day everything you did to reach your goals.
110
You can't sit around and think about it.
111
You actually have to fucking do it.
112
Because reality only speaks one language, and that language is evidence.
113
It's not intentions or potential.
114
And we struggle a lot, not because we don't know what to do, but because we're not doing what we know we need to do.
115
And we want the end result without going through the work.
116
Like we want the confidence without the action.
117
We want the certainty before we make a move or take a risk.
118
We want motivation before we've even gotten started.
119
It's not going to come until you do the work.
120
everything that you want in life has to be earned
121
and you have to pay your dues to get to
122
that end it's not just going to magically appear it's going to take years
123
and years and years of struggle and difficulty to get to where you want
124
and how are you ever going to feel powerful
125
if you've become a stranger to your own promises
126
because at the end of the day your results tell a story that your words never could.
127
Talk is cheap, but actions are the payday.
128
Have a great day, folks.
Почему стоит практиковать разговорный английский с этим видео?
Это видео предлагает уникальный контекст для практики разговорного английского, поскольку оно затрагивает важные аспекты общения и саморазвития. Основная идея, что "разговор — это дешево", побуждает слушателя задуматься о значении действий по сравнению со словами. Это создает богатую почву для обсуждения и выражения личных мнений. Практика разговорного английского с этим видео поможет вам:
- Улучшить произношение английского: Повторяя за Sprecher, вы не только учитесь правильному произношению, но и знакомитесь с интонацией.
- Развивать уверенность: Обсуждая темы, затронутые в видео, вы сможете преодолеть языковые барьеры и стать более уверенным в своем spoken English.
- Понимать контекст речи: Зная контекст и философию высказываний, вы сможете лучше сопоставить свои мысли с реальной жизнью.
Грамматика и выражения в контексте
В этом видео speaker использует несколько ключевых грамматических структур и выражений, которые особенно полезны для изучающих английский:
- «Talk is cheap»: Простое предложение, которое акцентирует внимание на противоречии между словами и действиями.
- «Actions speak louder than words»: Выражение, подчеркивающее важность действий. Это отличный пример для изучения устойчивых выражений.
- «Show up for them»: Фраза, подчеркивающая всю суть поддержки, которую мы оказываем близким.
- «Understand without words»: Это помогает понять значение невербального общения, что важно для практики shadowspeak.
Распространенные трудности произношения
Некоторые слова и выражения в видео могут представлять трудности в произношении:
- «Actions» – может быть легко произнесено неправильно, поскольку сочетание «ct» часто вызывает путаницу у неанглоговорящих.
- «Words» – внимание стоит обратить на его четкое произношение, так как в быстром темпе речи оно может сливаться с другими словами.
- «Love» – это слово имеет множество оттенков смысла, поэтому важно уметь произносить его правильно, чтобы передать нужное эмоциональное содержание.
Используя подход shadowspeaks и активно практикуя разговорный английский, вы сможете не только улучшить произношение английского, но и глубже понять значения слов и выражений в реальном контексте. Не забывайте, что каждое слово, которое вы произносите, должно сопровождаться действием.
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.
