You said in this book that for everyone who has ever felt underrated or overlooked,
2
but it's not just for underdogs,
3
you said, Long Shots and Late Bloomers,
4
it's all about how we can make sure that we get a chance in schools and teams and workplaces.
5
And so what was going on with you that you knew
6
that this is the book that the culture needed in this moment?
7
I think I just saw a lot of people underestimate others and also underestimate themselves.
8
And I think there's nothing sadder than watching motivation and talent get wasted and squandered.
9
And I think we still live in a world where people judge themselves
10
and other people by how good they are at something when they start.
11
And so you pick up a skill and you say,
12
well, I didn't master that right away.
13
I guess it's not for me.
14
And I think that's a huge mistake.
15
I saw this demonstrated so powerfully when you were,
16
I saw you speaking, and you had used the example of diving.
17
Yes, you want to share that story?
18
I was so bad at diving, Oprah.
19
I think, I don't know if you could see it in the video, but.
20
You were in the beginning,
21
you were not so good.
22
I was horrible.
23
Yeah.
24
I walked like Frankenstein, I could hardly jump.
25
Yeah.
26
I couldn't touch my toes without pinning my knees.
27
And I probably should have quit based on my early failures.
28
I was the worst diver in my whole school,
29
but I'd already been cut from basketball and soccer and I was running out of options.
30
And I was so lucky to have a coach,
31
Eric Best, who saw more potential in me than I saw in myself.
32
And Eric said, I will never cut a diver who wants to be here.
33
Wow.
34
Isn't that powerful? So powerful.
35
And he told me on my very first,
36
it was the first day of practice.
37
I thought it was a tryout.
38
And he said, I will put as much effort into this as you
39
And I believe that if you pour yourself into this,
40
you could be a state finalist by the time you graduate from high school.
41
Wow. And?
42
And made it junior year,
43
a year early, and ended up on the All-American list and making the Junior Olympic Nationals twice.
44
Wow.
45
And you also write that growth requires much more than a mindset.
46
It begins with character skills.
47
You say character is often confused with personality,
48
but they're not the same.
49
Please explain.
50
They are not the same.
51
They're not the same.
52
Not at all.
53
So personality is your default instinct.
54
It's your tendency for how you naturally would think,
55
feel, or act in a situation.
56
Character is a set of skills that you develop for overriding those personality traits.
57
So I'm a shy introvert from a personality perspective,
58
but I love sharing knowledge.
59
I really enjoy teaching.
60
I've even come to like public speaking.
61
And it's a bunch of character skills that allowed me to transcend the limitations of my traits and say,
62
I've got to get comfortable on a stage.
63
I have to push myself to be in a moment that I would prefer to avoid in order to live my values.
64
Yeah, but that doesn't happen unless you actually do it.
65
True.
66
Yeah.
67
The way you get to be a better diver is that you dive every day.
68
The way you get to be a better speaker is you actually step into it and do it.
69
So whatever the thing is that makes you uncomfortable.
70
And that is the character that allows you to do that,
71
not just your personality.
72
It is.
73
And I think for so long,
74
I was frozen by my personality.
75
So afraid of public speaking,
76
I was also afraid of heights.
77
So diving was not a good choice.
78
I remember standing on the diving board one day.
79
I would usually just stand there shaking for five or 10 minutes.
80
And one day I was supposed to do a particularly hard dive with multiple flips and twists.
81
And I just, I couldn't,
82
I couldn't imagine doing it.
83
I thought I was going to cartwheel and break an eardrum
84
or just end up in a terrible belly flop or back smack.
85
And I stood frozen on the board for 45 minutes.
86
And then finally, Eric said to me,
87
Adam, are you going to do this dive?
88
And I remember thinking, ever?
89
Yes, one day I would love to try this dive.
90
And I told Eric and he said, great.
91
then what are you waiting for?
92
And Oprah, I realized in that moment that I had the relationship between action and confidence backwards.
93
I thought I had to build my confidence to take the leap,
94
but the only way to gain confidence was by taking the leap.
95
And- Oh, that was, that's such a key,
96
key, key, key, key element for everybody.
97
You think i know because the only way to gain confidence is he actually doing it
98
and you're thinking that you're waiting just like the and and
99
and you're using this as a beautiful story and metaphor
100
but the waiting and the waiting and the waiting you were waiting
101
because you're thinking you're going to get the confidence to take the leap
102
but the only way to get the confidence is actually taking the leap i just think that is invaluable.
103
Well, it's certainly been powerful for me.
104
And I think it tracks with a lot of the research in psychology,
105
which says that for most of us,
106
confidence is the result of making progress and achieving growth.
107
It's not something that you have to marshal before.
108
Yeah.
109
This is what I want to know, Adam.
110
I mean, I was just talking to my producer earlier about you.
111
And I was saying, I remember that Adam's first books,
112
they were really good.
113
And people really liked them and responded.
114
And now you're considered literally one of the great thought leaders of our time.
115
So I was thinking, oh,
116
you had hidden potential then that we didn't see or recognize.
117
And perhaps you didn't see or recognize in yourself.
118
How do you think it's come to be now that,
119
you know, every organization, the Fortune 500 companies,
120
the Olympic teams, that everybody wants to consult with you,
121
Adam Grant, as this, you know,
122
brilliant and wise researcher and,
123
you know, literally a man for our times?
124
The irony of you asking me that question is not lost on me.
125
I don't know.
126
I have a- You must think about how did this happen?
127
I definitely wonder that often.
128
I think, I mean, this is a great way to activate my inner imposter syndrome, right?
129
Of saying, what am I doing here?
130
Do I belong in this room?
131
And I think it's something I feel a responsibility to try to earn every day.
132
A door opened and I felt like,
133
okay, I should walk through it and then try to open it for other people.
134
and I think of all the things that- In the beginning when that door opened,
135
you were like nervous speaking in front of people.
136
Extremely.
137
Yeah.
138
Yeah.
139
And the feedback made it clear that everyone could see my anxiety and they were absorbing it from me.
140
Yes.
141
That's what happens.
142
Yeah.
143
And I just, I think like you were alluding to earlier,
144
I just kept running little experiments and saying, okay, that didn't work.
145
What if I try this?
146
And very often, what helped me the most was taking the people who didn't like what I was doing,
147
who didn't love a chapter of a book or didn't resonate with a talk that I gave,
148
and asking them for more.
149
Only instead of asking them for more criticism,
150
I would ask for advice.
151
Well, how can I do this better?
152
Yeah.
153
What can I change?
154
And I figure, you know what?
155
These critics have already crucified me.
156
Why don't I enlist them as my coaches?
157
That's so brilliant, really. That is...
158
Some of them were really helpful.
159
Really.
160
I found that too when I was first starting out,
161
you know, that some of the criticism that I received was actually,
162
I was thinking, oh yeah, he's right.
163
I do talk too much.
164
Oh, he's right.
165
I'm not listening enough.
166
Oh, he's right.
167
So I would learn from criticism that was not just mean-spirited, you know?
168
How did you decide which critiques to listen to and which ones to discard?
169
Because some critics were just out to,
170
as people would say today,
171
get clickbait or make a headline or to say,
172
oh, you know, everybody thinks she's so popular,
173
I'm going to take her down.
174
You could feel the energy of that.
175
You could also feel the energy of somebody who was literally just telling you what they saw and what they experienced.
176
And so I learned from it.
177
You know, when somebody is speaking the truth and you hear the truth, it resonates.
178
Like, I'm sure the same thing happened for 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.
