ฝึกพูดภาษาอังกฤษด้วยเทคนิค Shadowing จากวิดีโอ: These Habits Keeps You Poor Forever! 💰💸 | Real English Conversation

Hello everyone, and welcome back to Chill English Channel.

I'm Sophia.

And I'm Jake.

We're so happy you're here with us today.

Whether you're relaxing at home, driving to work, exercising, studying English, or simply enjoying a quiet moment for yourself,

thank you for spending this time with us.

Today, we're going to talk about a topic that affects almost everyone, but very few people discuss honestly.

Money.

More specifically, we're going to talk about the habits that keep people poor.

Now, before we begin, let's make something very clear.

Being poor does not mean someone is lazy, unintelligent, or unsuccessful.

Absolutely not.

Many hardworking people struggle financially.

Many intelligent people struggle financially.

And many good people struggle financially.

Life is complicated.

Different people start from different situations.

Some people face challenges that others never experience.

That's reality.

So today's conversation is not about judging anyone.

It's about understanding behaviors, habits, decisions, mindsets.

Because sometimes the biggest obstacles aren't outside of us.

They're inside our daily routines.

That's a powerful idea.

It really is.

Let me ask you something, Sophia.

Sure.

When people think about becoming wealthy, what do you think they focus on most?

Usually, earning more money.

Exactly.

Getting a better job.

Receiving a promotion.

Starting a business.

Finding new opportunities.

And there's nothing wrong with those goals.

Of course not.

But I think many people overlook something important.

What's that?

The habits they already have.

That's interesting.

Someone can earn more money, but still struggle financially.

Someone can receive a raise, yet remain stressed about money.

Someone can increase their income, but never increase their wealth.

Those aren't necessarily the same thing.

That's a distinction many people don't understand.

Income is how much money comes in.

Wealth is what remains after years of decisions.

Exactly.

And that's where habits become important.

Very important.

One habit I've noticed is that many people focus only on today's comfort.

That's a huge one.

They rarely think about their future selves.

What do you mean by that?

Imagine someone receives extra money.

Okay.

Maybe a bonus from work.

Or a salary increase.

Instead of asking, how can I use this to improve my future?

They immediately ask, what can I buy?

Exactly.

That's actually very common.

Modern society encourages it.

Everywhere we look, people are being encouraged to spend.

Buy this.

Upgrade that.

Get the newest version.

Treat yourself.

Reward yourself.

Spend now.

Think later.

That sounds familiar.

Because we hear those messages every day.

That's true.

And over time, those messages influence our behavior.

I think one of the biggest financial mistakes people make is confusing appearance with success.

That's such an important point.

Some people spend money trying to look rich instead of becoming rich.

Expensive clothes.

Luxury cars.

The latest gadgets.

Constant upgrades.

Things that create the image of success.

But not necessarily real financial security.

Have you ever noticed how social media makes this even worse?

Definitely.

People see luxury vacations.

Designer brands.

Expensive restaurants.

Beautiful lifestyles.

And they assume everyone else is doing better than they are.

Comparison can become very expensive.

That's a great sentence.

Because comparison often leads people to spend money emotionally.

Not logically.

Exactly.

They buy things to impress people.

Or to feel successful.

Or simply because everyone else seems to have them.

100

The problem is that appearances can be misleading.

101

Very misleading.

102

Some people look wealthy but have enormous debt.

103

While others look ordinary and quietly build financial stability.

104

That's a lesson many people learn too late.

105

Another habit that keeps people poor is avoiding financial education.

106

That's a big one.

107

Many people spend years studying subjects in school, yet never learn how money actually works.

108

Nobody teaches them how to manage money, how to budget, how to invest, how debt works, how compound growth works.

109

And because they don't understand these things, they often make expensive mistakes.

110

Sometimes very expensive mistakes.

111

The interesting thing is that many people avoid learning about money because they think it's boring. Or difficult.

112

Or only for wealthy people.

113

But that's like refusing to learn how to drive and then wondering why every journey feels difficult.

114

Great analogy.

115

Understanding money doesn't automatically make someone rich.

116

But not understanding money can make life much harder.

117

I completely agree.

118

Another habit I've noticed is short-term thinking.

119

That's probably one of the biggest habits on this list.

120

Most people naturally focus on immediate rewards.

121

Because immediate rewards feel good.

122

Very good.

123

Saving money isn't exciting.

124

Buying something new is.

125

Investing isn't always exciting.

126

Spending money often is.

127

Waiting requires patience.

128

Spending provides instant satisfaction.

129

And that's where many people struggle.

130

Because the most valuable financial decisions often don't feel rewarding in the moment.

131

Their rewards appear much later.

132

Sometimes years later.

133

Sometimes decades later.

134

That's why delayed gratification is such an important skill.

135

Delayed gratification sounds complicated, but the idea is actually simple.

136

It means being willing to give up a small reward today for a much bigger reward tomorrow.

137

Successful people often think this way.

138

Not just with money, but with health.

139

Education.

140

Relationships.

141

Career growth.

142

They understand that today's choices create tomorrow's reality.

143

And perhaps that's where many financial journeys begin, not with a huge salary, but with the small decisions people make every single day.

144

You know, Jake, when people hear the word poor, they usually think about money.

145

That's true.

146

But the habits we're discussing today affect much more than finances.

147

Definitely.

148

Many of these habits influence a person's future, opportunities, and quality of life.

149

That's why they're so important.

150

One habit that I think deserves attention is constantly blaming circumstances.

151

That's a difficult topic, but an important one.

152

Very important.

153

And again, we're not saying that circumstances don't matter.

154

Of course they do.

155

Some people face greater challenges than others.

156

That's simply reality.

157

But successful people tend to focus on what they can control.

158

While unsuccessful people often focus only on what they can't control.

159

Exactly.

160

It's the difference between asking, why is this happening to me?

161

And asking, what can I do about it?

162

That's a powerful shift in thinking.

163

Because one question creates frustration.

164

And the other creates action.

165

Action doesn't guarantee success.

166

But it creates the possibility of success.

167

Which is much better than doing nothing.

168

I once heard someone say that excuses are expensive.

169

I like that.

170

At first I didn't fully understand it.

171

What changed your mind?

172

I realized that every excuse protects us from discomfort today.

173

But often costs us opportunities tomorrow.

174

That's so true.

175

I'm too busy.

176

I'll start next month.

177

Maybe someday.

178

I'm waiting for the right time.

179

Those sentences sound harmless.

180

years can disappear inside those excuses.

181

And eventually people wonder why nothing changed.

182

Another habit that keeps people financially stuck is living without clear goals.

183

That's a huge one.

184

Most people know what they want today, but not what they want five years from now.

185

Exactly.

186

Imagine getting into a car and driving without knowing your destination.

187

You might enjoy the ride for a while, but eventually you'll feel lost.

188

The same thing happens financially.

189

If people don't know where they're trying to go, every decision becomes harder.

190

Should they save?

191

Invest?

192

Change careers?

193

Learn new skills?

194

Without direction, it's difficult to make good choices consistently.

195

Successful people often have a long-term vision.

196

It doesn't have to be perfect.

197

Not at all.

198

But they usually have some idea of where they're heading.

199

And that vision influences their daily decisions.

200

That's something many people underestimate.

201

Small decisions become easier when they're connected to a bigger goal.

202

Another habit I've noticed is spending too much time consuming and not enough time creating.

203

That's especially relevant today.

204

We live in the age of endless content.

205

Videos.

206

Social media.

207

News.

208

Podcasts.

209

Entertainment.

210

Information has never been more accessible.

211

Which is wonderful in many ways.

212

Absolutely.

213

But there's also a danger.

214

What's that?

215

People can spend years consuming knowledge without producing anything.

216

That's interesting.

217

They watch videos about business.

218

But never start one.

219

They watch videos about fitness.

220

But never exercise.

221

They watch videos about investing.

222

But never save money.

223

Learning feels productive.

224

Sometimes it actually is productive.

225

But eventually, learning must lead to action.

226

Otherwise, it becomes a form of entertainment.

227

Exactly.

228

I think many people are addicted to preparation.

229

That's a great way to describe it.

230

They feel like they're making progress because they're gathering information.

231

But real progress often begins when action starts.

232

Speaking of action, let's talk about another habit. Which one?

233

Avoiding discomfort.

234

That's a big one.

235

Most opportunities require discomfort.

236

Learning new skills is uncomfortable.

237

Starting a business is uncomfortable.

238

Asking for a promotion is uncomfortable.

239

Speaking in public is uncomfortable.

240

Changing careers can be uncomfortable.

241

Growth and discomfort often travel together.

242

Yet many people spend their lives trying to avoid discomfort completely.

243

Which is understandable.

244

Nobody enjoys feeling uncertain.

245

Nobody enjoys failure.

246

Nobody enjoys rejection.

247

But successful people tend to see discomfort differently.

248

How so?

249

They often view discomfort as a sign that they're growing.

250

That's an important mindset.

251

Instead of asking, how can I avoid this?

252

They ask, what can I learn from this?

253

That shift changes everything.

254

It really does.

255

Another habit that quietly keeps people poor is spending time with people who constantly complain.

256

That's a sensitive topic.

257

It is.

258

But environment matters.

259

More than many people realize.

260

If every conversation is negative, negative thinking becomes normal.

261

If everyone around you believes success is impossible, Eventually, you may start believing it too.

262

The people around us influence our expectations.

263

Our habits.

264

Our beliefs.

265

Even our ambitions.

266

That's why successful people are often careful about their environment.

267

They spend time with people who encourage growth.

268

People who challenge them.

269

People who inspire them.

270

Not because they want perfect friends.

271

But because attitudes are contagious.

272

Very contagious.

273

You know what fascinates me?

274

What?

275

Many of the habits we've discussed today don't look dangerous.

276

That's true.

277

Nobody wakes up thinking, today I'm going to damage my future.

278

Hopefully not.

279

Yet small habits repeated over many years can have enormous consequences.

280

That's the scary part.

281

And also the hopeful part.

282

How so?

283

Because if small habits can create problems… Then small habits can also create success.

284

Exactly.

285

A better future often begins with a few better decisions repeated consistently.

286

And once people truly understand that, they start seeing their daily choices in a completely different way.

287

Because every decision is quietly shaping the person they'll become.

288

Because every decision is quietly shaping the person they'll become.

289

And I think that's one of the most important ideas we've discussed today.

290

Why do you say that?

291

Because many people think their future will be determined by one big opportunity.

292

A lucky break.

293

A promotion.

294

A successful business.

295

A life-changing investment.

296

But in reality, most futures are built little by little.

297

Day by day.

298

Decision by decision.

299

Habit by habit.

300

That's not always exciting to hear.

301

No, but it's empowering.

302

Because it means we have more control than we think.

303

Exactly.

304

Another habit that often keeps people poor is refusing to take responsibility for mistakes.

305

That's a difficult lesson for everyone.

306

Definitely.

307

Nobody enjoys admitting they were wrong.

308

Nobody enjoys failure.

309

Nobody enjoys making bad decisions.

310

But successful people tend to learn from mistakes instead of hiding from them.

311

That's a huge difference.

312

Some people make a mistake and spend years blaming other people.

313

Or blaming circumstances.

314

Or blaming bad luck.

315

Meanwhile, successful people often ask a different question.

316

What can I learn from this?

317

Exactly.

318

That question changes everything.

319

Because mistakes can become valuable teachers.

320

If we're willing to learn from them.

321

One thing I've noticed is that wealthy people often see learning as an investment.

322

That's true.

323

They invest in skills.

324

Knowledge.

325

Experiences.

326

Personal growth, while many people see those things as expenses.

327

That's an interesting distinction.

328

Imagine two people receive the same amount of money.

329

Okay.

330

One spends everything on temporary pleasures.

331

And the other spends part of it learning valuable skills.

332

Five years later, their lives may look completely different.

333

Because skills often create opportunities.

334

Exactly.

335

One of the greatest investments people can make is in themselves.

336

I couldn't agree more.

337

Learning communication skills.

338

Leadership skills.

339

Technical skills.

340

Financial skills.

341

Those investments can continue paying benefits for years.

342

Sometimes for an entire lifetime.

343

Another habit that quietly hurts people financially is constantly seeking shortcuts.

344

That's becoming more common these days.

345

Everyone wants quick results.

346

Quick money.

347

Quick success.

348

Quick solutions.

349

transformations.

350

Social media often makes it look easy.

351

That's true.

352

We see stories about overnight success.

353

People becoming rich instantly.

354

Businesses growing overnight.

355

But those stories rarely show the full picture.

356

Usually there are years of effort behind the scenes.

357

Years that nobody talks about.

358

Exactly.

359

The truth is that most lasting success is surprisingly boring.

360

That's a funny way to to describe it.

361

But it's true.

362

Consistency is boring.

363

Saving money is often boring.

364

Learning new skills takes time.

365

Building a career takes patience.

366

None of those things are exciting every day.

367

Yet they work.

368

That's what matters.

369

I think one reason people struggle financially is because they're looking for dramatic changes.

370

Instead of small improvements.

371

Exactly.

372

Small improvements don't look impressive.

373

At least not immediately.

374

But they accumulate.

375

That's a powerful word.

376

Accumulate means something gradually grows over time.

377

Wealth accumulates.

378

Skills accumulate.

379

Knowledge accumulates.

380

Experience accumulates.

381

Confidence accumulates too.

382

And eventually those small improvements become impossible to ignore.

383

You know what I find interesting?

384

What?

385

Most people already know many of these lessons.

386

That's true.

387

Save money.

388

Learn new skills.

389

Avoid unnecessary debt.

390

Think long-term.

391

Take responsibility.

392

Keep learning.

393

None of these ideas are revolutionary.

394

Yet knowing something and doing something are very different.

395

That's where habits come in.

396

Exactly.

397

Habits determine what we do repeatedly.

398

And repeated actions create results.

399

Whether those results are positive or negative.

400

That's why habits matter so much.

401

They quietly shape our future every single day.

402

Most people focus on goals.

403

But successful people often focus on systems.

404

Explain that.

405

A goal is something you want to achieve.

406

Like becoming financially stable.

407

Exactly.

408

And a system?

409

A system is what you do every day.

410

Ah, I like that.

411

Reading regularly.

412

Saving consistently.

413

Learning new skills.

414

Managing money carefully.

415

The goal gives direction.

416

But the system creates progress.

417

That's a lesson many people discover later in life.

418

Fortunately, it's never too late to start.

419

That's an important message.

420

No matter where someone is financially today, they can begin making better decisions tomorrow.

421

They can develop better habits, learn new skills, improve their mindset, change their direction.

422

Because the future isn't built in a single day.

423

It's built through thousands of ordinary days.

424

And every one of those days offers a new opportunity to make a better choice.

425

So before we finish, let's think about a simple question.

426

Which habit from today's conversation stood out to you the most?

427

Was it short-term thinking?

428

Comparing yourself to others?

429

Avoiding discomfort?

430

Seeking shortcuts?

431

Blaming circumstances?

432

Or perhaps spending more time consuming than creating?

433

Whatever your answer is, remember that awareness is the first step towards change change.

434

Because people cannot improve habits they refuse to recognize.

435

But once they recognize them, they can begin replacing them.

436

One small decision at a time.

437

One better habit at a time.

438

One better day at a time.
