1
First, you're going to fail sometimes, and that's a good thing.
2
For all the amazing successes I've been lucky to share, and few things have shaped me more than the auditions that Ben and I used to go on as young actors, where we'd get on a bus, we'd show up in New York,
3
we'd wait our turn, we'd cry our hearts out for a scene, and then be told, okay, thanks, meaning game over.
4
We used to call it being okay-thanksed.
5
And those experiences became our armor.
6
Alright, now you're thinking, great, thanks Matt.
7
Failure is good, thanks a ton.
8
Tell me something I didn't hear at my high school graduation.
9
To which I say, okay, I will.
10
You know the real danger for MIT graduates?
11
It's not getting okay thanksed.
12
The real danger is all that smoke that's been blown up your graduation gowns about how freaking smart you are.
13
Well, you are that smart.
14
But don't believe the hype that's thrown at you.
15
You don't have all the answers, and you shouldn't, and that's fine.
16
You're going to have your share of bad ideas.
17
For one, or for me, one was playing a character named Edgar Pudwacker.
18
I wish I could tell you I'm making that up.
19
But as the great philosopher Benjamin Affleck once said, judge me by how good my good ideas are, not how bad my bad ideas are.
20
You've got to suit up in your armor, you've got to get ready to sound like a total fool.
21
Not having an answer isn't embarrassing, it's an opportunity.
22
Don't be afraid to ask questions.
23
I know so much less the second time I'm fake graduating than the first time.
24
The second thing I want to leave you with is you got to keep listening.
25
The world wants to hear your ideas, good and bad, but today is not the day you switch from receive to transmit.
26
Once you do that, your education is over and your education should never be over.
27
But whatever you do, just keep listening, even to people you don't agree with at all.
28
I love what President Obama said at Howard University's commencement last month.
29
He said, democracy requires compromise even when you are 100% right.
30
I heard that and thought, here is a man who has been happily married for a long time.
31
Not that the First Lady has ever been wrong about anything.
32
Just like my wife, never wrong.
33
Not even when she decided last month
34
that in a family with four kids what was missing in our lives was a third rescue dog.
35
That was an outstanding decision, honey.
36
And I love you.
37
But not every problem has a high-tech solution.
38
Now, if anybody has the right to think we can pretty much tech support the world's problems into submission, it's you.
39
Think of the innovations that got their start at MIT or by MIT alums.
40
The World Wide Web, nuclear fission, condensed soup.
41
That's true.
42
You should be very proud of that.
43
But the truth is, we can't science the you-know-what out of every problem.
44
What are you going to be a part of?
45
What is the problem that you will try to solve?
46
Whatever your answer, it is not going to be easy.
47
Sometimes your work will hit a dead end.
48
Sometimes your work will be measured in half steps.
49
Sometimes your work will make you wear a white sequined military uniform and make love to Michael Douglas.
50
All right, maybe that's just my work.
51
But for all of you here, your work starts today.
52
And seriously, how lucky are you?
53
I mean, what are the odds that you're the ones who are here today?
54
In the earth's 4.5 billion year run, with 100 billion people who have lived and died,
55
and the seven billion of us here now, here you are.
56
Yes, here you are.
57
Alive at a time of potential extinction-level events, a time when fewer and fewer people can cause more and more damage,
58
a time when science and technology may not hold all the answers but are indispensable to any solution.
59
what are the odds
60
that you get to be you right now there are potentially trillions of human beings who will someday exist
61
or not whose fate in large part depends on the choices you make on your ideas on your grit
62
and persistence and willingness to engage
63
if this were a movie i was trying to pitch i'd
64
be laughed out of every office in hollywood joseph campbell himself would tell me to throttle down
65
and lower the stakes but i can't
66
because this is a fact this is not fiction this improbable
67
thing is actually happening there's more at stake today than in any story ever told
68
and how lucky you are that you're here and you're you
69
and how lucky we are that you are here
70
and you are you so i hope you'll turn toward the problem of your choosing
71
This is your moment and it is all down to you.
72
Ready Player One, your game begins now.

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.
