6

7
I used to rehearse every line in my head before saying it.
Tôi từng luyện tập từng câu trong đầu trước khi nói ra.
8
But what I learned is this.
Nhưng điều tôi học được là thế này.
9
You can't control a conversation with tricks like smiling longer or tilting your head, half of that conversation isn't even yours.
Bạn không thể kiểm soát một cuộc hội thoại bằng những thủ đoạn như cười lâu hơn hay nghiêng đầu, vì một nửa cuộc hội thoại đó thậm chí còn không phải là của bạn.
10
So today I'll share four skills that make your conversation more interesting,
Vì vậy hôm nay tôi sẽ chia sẻ bốn kỹ năng giúp cuộc trò chuyện của bạn trở nên thú vị hơn.
11
more successful, more meaningful, and the last one can save a relationship you deeply care about.
thành công hơn, có ý nghĩa hơn, và điều cuối cùng có thể cứu vãn một mối quan hệ mà bạn rất trân trọng.
12
Let's start with the one that surprised me the most.
Hãy bắt đầu với điều khiến tôi ngạc nhiên nhất.
13
The person you just met likes you more than you think.
Người bạn vừa gặp thích bạn hơn bạn nghĩ đấy.
14
Psychologists at Cornell, Yale, Harvard paired up strangers and they had them talk to each other.
Các nhà tâm lý học tại Đại học Cornell, Đại học Yale và Đại học Harvard đã ghép các cặp người lạ với nhau và yêu cầu họ trò chuyện với nhau.
15
And afterwards, every person had to answer two questions.
Và sau đó, mỗi người phải trả lời hai câu hỏi.
16
How much did you like the other person?
Bạn đã thích người kia đến mức nào?
17
And how much do you think they liked you?
Và bạn nghĩ họ đã thích bạn đến mức nào?
18
On that second question, every single one of them consistently gets low.
Về câu hỏi thứ hai đó, tất cả các câu trả lời đều liên tục nhận được điểm thấp.
19
They underestimated how much others liked them.
Họ đã đánh giá thấp mức độ mà người khác thích họ.
20
The researchers called it the liking gap.
21
And here's the interesting part.
22
People later watched the recordings and they could easily tell how much they liked each other.
23
It was right there on screen.
24
But during the actual conversation, most guessed it wrong.
25
Because during the conversation, you're busy watching yourself.
26
You get too wrapped up in what you should say
27
and how it will be received by the other person
28
that you don't notice that the other person's sending clear signals that they like you.
29
When I was young, I was a total klutz.
30
I was painfully shy.
31
I lacked in confidence.
32
And I was 100 % sure women would not find me attractive or charismatic.
33
The moment they will get to know me, they'll run away.
34
So in every conversation, my guard would be up.
35
I would be so stressed out how am I coming across?
36
Do I sound stupid?
37
What should I say next?
38
Should I be funnier?
39
Those moments that you're attracted to someone, you stop having a conversation with them and you start having it with yourself.
40
And we think that they're watching every move of ours,
41
but psychologists tell us about the spotlight effect.
42
So at Cornell, students walked into a room wearing a very embarrassing t -shirt and they guessed about half the room would notice.
43
Only 20 % did.
44
We're all in our own heads most of the time.
45
So how do you get out of this trap?
46
Four moves.
47
Play.
48
P -L -A -Y.
49
P is for projection.
50
Think about the last great movie that you watched in a movie theater?
51
Now, were you worried about how you looked sitting in that theater?
52
Whether there was popcorn on your shirt?
53
Of course not.
54
You were completely absorbed in the story.
55
Well, you can try to do the same in a conversation.
56
Stop watching yourself.
57
Get absorbed about the movie that's playing in front of you.
58
The person you're with.
59
I ask myself one question.
60
What's the one thing about this person I don't know?
61
That changes your nervousness into curiosity.
62
Now, L is for liked.
63
Now, we talked about it, the liking gap.
64
Remember, the other person likes you way more than you think.
65
So, don't walk into a conversation assuming rejection.
66
Give them a chance.
67
I wish I knew that when I was in my 20s.
68
A is for allow.
69
Allow yourself to be seen.
70
When you rehearse lines before meeting someone new, on a date or interview, it can actually make you more nervous, not less.
71
You should note the key themes, of course, that you want to cover, but allow room for who you are.
72
Nowadays I always tell myself, if they don't like my face, well that's the only one I've got.
73
And Y is for yes.
74
Say yes to your nervousness.
75
Don't fight it.
76
Your heart races when you're nervous and it races when you're excited.
77
So why not call it excitement?
78
I've been performing on stage since I was a teenager.
79
And even today.
80
I can feel my heart thumping before I get on.
81
I tell myself, yeah, this is exciting.
82
And get on with it.
83
And here's the reason why I called the first skill play.
84
Because you can plan all day long about what you're going to say, but you can't plan what they're going to say back.
85
Think of any conversation like a tennis match.
86
You hit the ball, see what comes back, and respond.
87
the magic is in that back and forth
88
and the secret of a great rally is knowing what to
89
do with whatever comes back the difference between a boring conversation and a fascinating one
90
is what you ask next i call this skill stones
91
and seeds some questions are like stones they land with a thud and go nowhere.
92
Some are seeds.
93
They grow into stories.
94
Here's an example.
95
You meet someone at a dinner party and you ask, what do you do?
96
Oh, I'm an accountant.
97
Oh, cool.
98
Where do you work?
99
Manhattan.
100
Oh, um, yeah.
101
Okay.
102
Uh, have you worked there long?
103
Four years.
104
That's a conversation full of stones.
105
It goes nowhere.
106
Now let's try it again with a seed.
107
What do you do?
108
Oh, I'm an accountant.
109
Oh, cool.
110
Did you always want to be an accountant?
111
Actually, no. I wanted to start my own company.
112
Really?
113
What kind of company?
114
It's a long story.
115
So when I was little, now you're off.
116
Whatever she will say next is a story only she can tell.
117
You heard something unexpected, it, you picked up that thread and followed it.
118
That's improvisation.
119
And sometimes you can even start with the seed itself.
120
You don't have to say, what do you do all the time?
121
You can try something like, hi, what's been the most interesting part of your week?
122
Harvard University researchers studied conversations during real speed dates.
123
And people who asked more questions were better liked.
124
Well, that makes sense.
125
But the real advantage came from follow -up questions.
126
People ask follow -up questions were more likely to get a second date.
127
I wish I knew that when I was in my 20s.
128
But all kidding aside, a follow -up tells the other person you heard them and you want more.
129
And sometimes the most important seed is the one nobody plants.
130
Growing up, my dad and I didn't get along.
131
Some of you may have heard already, I've talked about this.
132
He was physically abusive.
133
And now that I've had some distance from my past,
134
I think he may have suffered from mental health issues and wasn't able to talk about it to anyone,
135
wasn't able to ask for help.
136
Anyway, so I ran away from home as a teenager, was homeless for a little bit, ended up training as a monk.
137
And years later, I had settled down in Boston,
138
And my dad came to visit me and my fiancé, now my wife.
139
And it was very interesting.
140
I could see how proud he was that I had landed on my feet.
141
He loved our home.
142
We never talked a lot, but we had some occasional conversations.
143
I don't think we ever became friends.
144
But I was able to see that vulnerable human being behind the father figure that weighed so heavily in my life.
145
You know, he was just like any of us trying to find his way home.
146
And on his way back to Mumbai at the airport,
147
he took my hand gently and kissed it and said, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations.
148
He said it three times.
149
And he said, I'm so proud of you.
150
And that was the last time I saw him.
151
When he passed away, I wish somebody had asked me gently,
152
hey, tell me about your dad.
153
You know, that would have been such an amazing seed
154
because I would have talked about him for hours about how a.. deeply flawed man who was lost all his life,
155
found his way back home toward the end.
156
That would have been a great conversation.
157
I would have loved to have that conversation with someone, with anyone.
158
That's the power of seeds.
159
Some seeds can grow a tree and some can heal the withering ones.
160
This is where AI can help you nurture those seeds with an automation tool like Zapier.
161
They're sponsoring this part of the video
162
because I wanted to show you how I keep track of what people share with me.
163
Zapier has this thing called MCP.
164
It's just a fancy word for a gateway that connects your AI agents to the apps that you use.
165
So you're not limited to that prompt window.
166
You go to Zapier, you connect it within minutes and you do it only once.
167
You choose which apps you wanna connect to and give AI all the permissions you need.
168
I am turning on Google Calendar, Google Docs, and my Gmail.
169
And that's it.
170
You're done.
171
I keep a simple Google Doc for my people notes.
172
So after a conversation, I would type something like, Taylor's piano recital is on November 10th.
173
Draft and send an email wishing her good luck on the 9th add it to my people notes,
174
and put a reminder in Google Calendar to ask her how it went when I see her on the 15th.
175
So you see, the seed is planted and the reminder shows up right when it matters.
176
Now on to the third skill.
177
You can ask beautiful questions all evening and still leave them knowing nothing about you.
178
We have covered how to draw people in.
179
Let's talk about how to let them in.
180
few movie stars have become more recognizable around the world than Sylvester Stallone.
181
Rocky, Rambo, The Expendables, he's been the action hero of a generation for almost 50 years now.
182
But we found out recently, you can be known by millions and still struggle to let someone truly know you.
183
In a recent interview that I saw about his memoir,
184
he talks about his incredibly rough childhood and a very flawed,
185
complex relationship with both his parents.
186
And for his entire life, he had locked all those painful memories away.
187
He even called his famous physique his armor
188
and in one of the most heartbreaking moments he confessed
189
that he didn't really figure out true love until he was around 70.
190
Stallone was one of the most recognized stranger we knew nothing about.
191
So it's so important that you let someone in.
192
When you do you can follow one simple rule
193
You can be personal, not private.
194
Personal is what you care about, what you've been learning recently, what mistakes you've been making, things that you can laugh about,
195
something that surprised you this week.
196
When you share all that openly, people relate to you.
197
And private is what you share with a few trusted ones.
198
It starts with how you answer the simplest questions.
199
Do you like traveling?
200
Yeah, I love it.
201
Or you can say, yeah, I love it.
202
The trips I love the most are the ones with no fixed plan.
203
I want surprises to come my way.
204
Now they know something about you.
205
You've opened the door to let someone in.
206
Think of yourself as a house with three emotional rooms.
207
The porch is where the superficial facts live.
208
Everyone can know your job, your favorite sports team.
209
But the second room is your living room.
210
That's your personal space.
211
This is where real conversations happen.
212
And then there's the bedroom.
213
That's your private space.
214
It's for the few people who become close to you.
215
So that's the progression.
216
Stallone kept everyone on the porch for almost 70 years of his life.
217
You don't have to.
218
And now the final skill that can make or break any conversation.
219
You can win an argument and lose a relationship.
220
Lose the argument, keep the relationship.
221
researchers recorded 112 visits between doctors and patients.
222
Only about a third of the patients got to explaining why they had come in.
223
And even then, The doctors jumped in about 11 seconds after the patient started talking.
224
And that's the habit.
225
We all tend to do that because we're very good at solving things.
226
And I used to do this at work.
227
Someone starts explaining and halfway through, I've already decided what the solution is going to be.
228
But that's not the right way of having a meaningful conversation.
229
I think of conversations as having three purposes.
230
One, fix the other person wants a solution.
231
They want to fix a problem.
232
That's why they're talking to you.
233
Two, figure out.
234
They want to explore it with you.
235
Think it out loud.
236
And three, feel.
237
They just want to be heard.
238
So for example, your partner says, I don't think I like my job.
239
If it's a fixed conversation, they want help.
240
They want to solve the problem.
241
They want to find a new job.
242
If it's a figure conversation, they're still trying to decide where they fall, what to do next.
243
And if it's a feel conversation, they just need someone to hear how hard their work has been lately.
244
So your job changes in each of those conversations.
245
If you diagnose it wrong, it becomes a hard conversation to recover from.
246
Let's find you a new job.
247
I can't just find a new job.
248
You're not listening.
249
So just ask, do you want to be helped, heard, or hugged?
250
There's something to it.
251
Now, this skill is harder when you are the problem.
252
Your partner says, you never listen to me, and your instinct is to immediately defend yourself.
253
Never?
254
What do you mean never?
255
We just talked for two hours yesterday.
256
The first step is to not become defensive about it.
257
My biggest lesson here comes from negotiation experts, Roger Fisher and William Urey.
258
They wrote a book, Getting to Yes, and they talk about looking past what someone is saying and get to what they're actually worried about.
259
What's causing that behavior?
260
Hey, I didn't hear from you all weekend.
261
You know, that may sound like a complaint or even an accusation, but maybe the worry underneath might be, I missed you.
262
Then the second step is to create safety so the other person doesn't feel defensive about it.
263
Talk about the observation and not the person.
264
If you say, hey, you missed the deadline.
265
Okay, that's a problem, but you can talk about it you can recover from it.
266
If instead you say you're so irresponsible, that's hard to recover from.
267
And third, one argument, one issue.
268
In the middle of the dishwashing argument, if you start arguing about your mother -in -law, it will never end well.
269
So try to stay on the core topic.
270
And now both of you have enough room to think together.
271
Every time I have hung in there just a little bit more and stayed open to hear the other person's perspective,
272
it has completely deflated the pressure of a hard conversation.
273
The hardest moment in any conversation is when you're hurt and sure you're right.
274
That's when the most powerful thing you can say is, can you please help me understand?
275
Because the person across from you matters more than winning this round.
276
And this is why this fourth skill is so important, because a great conversation can change your life, literally.
277
Years ago, I missed a train and met a complete stranger on the platform.
278
And that single conversation changed my life.
279
We started a band together, we made music together, we traveled the world.
280
So your life and your relationship with someone you love is one never -ending conversation.
281
There is a song in Hindi that I think about a lot.
282
The lyrics can roughly be translated as one long melody of love flowing like the waves that rise and fall.
283
that's life.
284
It's nothing more than a story that you and I share together.
285
Thank you and I love you.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
