If you feel like you're running out of time

and other people are moving at a much faster rate than you

and people are building more than you and becoming more successful than you then I think you need to watch this video.

Honestly I think a lot of young people these days feel like they don't have much time left

and they need to become successful as soon as possible otherwise there's no other chance left for them in this world.

And I totally understand that.

I also feel that way sometimes.

It feels overwhelming and you feel like you have to accomplish so much at one time.

Personally, I think there are a few reasons why people in our generation feel this way.

And one of them is that we're constantly comparing ourselves and our generation to past generations,

but it doesn't really work that way.

You might think, oh back then when people were like 25 or 21,

maybe they already had a house,

they already had a kid or two kids,

and it seems like they were very successful at a very young age.

But that was in the past.

We live in the modern age and we might have different goals

and it's not exactly possible to do the same things

that our parents or grandparents did and that's okay we just have to accept

that

and it's not only this comparison of past generations there are

other problems as well for me I think one of these huge problems is social media

when you go on social media it can seem like everyone

is constantly achieving something you might see someone super young starting their own business

and everything is going really smoothly they're really successful or maybe someone bought a house really young and it looks beautiful,

it looks huge, and it seems like their life is super amazing.

And when you see this every single day,

it starts to affect the way that you think about yourself.

You think, why don't I have those things?

Or what's wrong with me?

Everyone else is doing so well,

but I just feel like I'm stuck where I am.

But I don't think you have to feel that way.

The stuff online is not real life.

It's literally just an edited version of someone else's life and you can't compare that with yours.

And I think there is another problem that leads us to feel like we're running out of time,

which is that we have so many choices.

I mean, if you really think about it,

there are a lot of choices in life.

You get to choose what you wear every day,

what you eat every day.

And you also get to choose what you do in your free time.

You get to choose what you spend your time on,

what you learn and what you study,

and maybe what you want to do in the future.

There are so many careers.

There are different cities you can move to.

Anything is possible.

There are so many choices.

But personally, I feel like when we have so many choices,

it can actually cause us to freeze up because you feel indecisive.

I mean, for me, I also feel very indecisive sometimes.

Like sometimes it's hard to even choose what to eat for dinner.

I'm sure some of you maybe feel the same thing.

It's really hard to make decisions.

So when you're bombarded by so many decisions every single day,

some big, some small, it can really be exhausting.

And there is this very famous quote by Sylvia Plath where she's talking about this fig tree.

And it's literally a fig tree,

but she's imagining all of these figs as different versions of herself.

You know, one is a doctor,

one is an artist, one is a scientist, one is a poet.

And one fig is one possible lifetime.

she's sitting at the bottom of this tree and thinking about all of the possible versions of herself.

But the problem is while she's sitting there and thinking and contemplating,

the figs start to rot.

She starts to lose the choices that she thought that she had.

So in the end, you basically end up with nothing because you didn't make a decision when you should have.

But another fear is that when you choose one, you lose the others.

By choosing one fig and one lifetime

that means you're saying no to the other possibilities you're giving up on everything else

and that's this fig tree dilemma i mean this is kind of depressing

if you really think about it for too long

but i think we can see this in a more positive light as well

because yes i can totally relate sometimes i feel overwhelmed by the possibilities in life and it's hard to make these decisions.

I think another way to look at this is not as the person sitting next to the tree and

looking at all of these possibilities fade away and rot basically in front of you.

I think another way to think of this is as yourself as the tree.

You are the tree.

Which means you contain multitudes.

Right now you have all of these beautiful ripe figs,

but that doesn't mean you're never gonna have any more.

You know this set in this season the figs might rot but that's okay because there will be a next season.

You will have other chances.

I personally don't believe that you have to make certain decisions by a certain age.

I think you can start over at any time as long as you're still alive,

as long as you are capable.

I think you can change your life at any moment.

Some people start over at 30.

Some people become a CEO at 50.

I think the possibilities are endless.

So I don't think you should feel like you're running out of time.

There will be more chances.

There will be more versions of yourself to meet in the future.

And there will be more figs.

At the end of the day,

your life is your own.

And you can do whatever you want with it.

You don't have to listen to what other people are doing.

100

Just because you see something online,

101

It doesn't mean that you should be doing the same things.

102

That's just someone else sharing their own life.

103

And it might not even be really authentic to what their real life is like.

104

And honestly, from my own experience,

105

I think life feels better and more enjoyable

106

when you learn to accept who you are and you learn to take life at your own pace.

107

So I really think it's great to continue to grow,

108

to learn new things, build more skills.

109

But I also think that sometimes you just need to do nothing

110

and sometimes you need to enjoy the life that you're living and focus on the present

111

Because if you're always so focused on improving yourself for a better future Then you're constantly thinking about the future.

112

But what about yourself right now?

113

Does doing this make you happy?

114

Is getting this result really gonna change your life?

115

Is that what is going to make life worth living?

116

I think those are just some things to consider because also you don't know what's to happen.

117

You don't know if you will get the outcome that you wanted.

118

But if you're okay with your life at the present,

119

then no matter what happens in the future,

120

if you get that job or not,

121

if you get accepted into the school or not,

122

you're still going to be okay with yourself.

123

Honestly, I think I started to think more about this when I was getting my bachelor's degree.

124

At that time, I had just graduated high school.

125

I was like 18 years old in my linguistics major getting my degree and one of my very good friends,

126

well she was my classmate at the time,

127

we became very good friends.

128

She was 30 years old and she had a six-year-old little boy

129

and she had a lot of friends and a really full

130

and amazing life but on paper it might seem like she was a bit late.

131

Like she was getting her degree at 30.

132

To most people that might seem like you know late,

133

not on the right path.

134

But honestly she was super happy with her decisions.

135

She was always smiling, always laughing.

136

She was such a great friend.

137

She was fun to be around

138

and it honestly made me change my perspective on life as well because I was also struggling in my major.

139

I like I said was learning linguistics

140

and at that time people were telling me

141

that it wasn't the best major to choose there are not

142

a lot of job opportunities you're gonna struggle after you graduate

143

and that's true that's totally valid but I just wanted to do something

144

that I was passionate about and that's what it was

145

so I persisted and eventually things turned out okay

146

but I really just think like you shouldn't do something because other people expect it from you.

147

You can do everything at your own pace.

148

Nobody's life is exactly the same and there's no one correct way to live a life.

149

You don't have to have this imaginary timeline of your whole entire life.

150

That's just not how things work because you never know what's gonna happen.

151

There might be some surprises or a new path is revealed that you have never even thought about before.

152

So you're not running out of time.

153

You are not late and don't let anyone else make you believe that you are.

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.
