1
My third story is about death.
2
When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like, If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right.
3
It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, if today were the last day of my life,
4
would I want to do what I am about to do today?
5
And whenever the answer has been no for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
6
Remembering
7
that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.
8
Because almost everything, all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure, these things just fall away in the face of death,
9
leaving only what is truly important.
10
Remembering
11
that you are going to die is the best way I
12
know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.
13
You are already naked.
14
There is no reason not to follow your heart.
15
About a year ago, I was diagnosed with cancer.
16
I had a scan at 7.30 in the morning and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas.
17
I didn't even know what a pancreas was.
18
The doctor Doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer
19
that is incurable and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months.
20
My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die.
21
It means to try
22
and tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next ten years to tell them in just a few months.
23
It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for for your family.
24
It means to say your goodbyes.
25
I live with that diagnosis all day.
26
Later that evening, I had a biopsy where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines,
27
put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor.
28
I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope,
29
the doctor started crying, because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery.
30
I had the surgery and thankfully I'm fine now.
31
This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades.
32
Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than
33
when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept.
34
No one wants to die.
35
Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there.
36
And yet, death is the destination we all share.
37
No one has ever escaped it.
38
And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life.
39
It's life's change agent.
40
It clears out the old to make way for the new.
41
Right now, the new is you.
42
But someday, not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.
43
Sorry to be so dramatic, but it's quite true.
44
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.
45
Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living the results of other people's thinking.
46
Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.
47
And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
48
They somehow already know what you truly want to become.
49
Everything else is secondary.

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.
