I got to show you this.
2
So Mark Manson put this quote up a few months ago, and I've not been able to stop thinking about it.
3
The most important question to ask is what pain do you want in your life?
4
What are you willing to struggle for?
5
Anything worthwhile is going to require some degree of pain and struggle.
6
So if you're oriented toward the pain and the struggle, you're probably going to be more aligned with what you're capable of accomplishing rather than if you just orient toward the pleasures.
7
So good, because we say find the thing which you enjoy the most,
8
but really what you're finding is what is the pain you're prepared to swallow the most.
9
Nothing worthwhile is going to come without discomfort.
10
You know, even for me and you, love doing the show, love speaking to all these interesting people, get to fly around the world.
11
But I would be lying if I said, I love writing show notes or doing researching in Guatemala airport at three in the morning
12
because I'm on a delayed flight and I've got a flight, I've got an episode tomorrow.
13
Like it's grind.
14
It's grind that I care about and it's grind that I can do that other people couldn't do.
15
But it's not not grind, right?
16
This goes to the discipline equation.
17
Yes, yes, yes.
18
You might be - I'm familiar with, let's hit it, hit it.
19
Because that really embodies it.
20
That Mark Manson quote about the pain you're willing to encounter.
21
I was trying to figure out why there's some areas in my life where I'm disciplined
22
and other areas of my life where I seem to lack discipline.
23
Kind of what I was saying earlier about being a dualistic type of individual.
24
And I came up with this discipline equation
25
that I'd love to interrogate with you
26
because I've not thrown it at enough people to know that if it's true or not.
27
So discipline equals the importance of the goal plus, let's just say the importance of the goal to you.
28
So the subjective importance of the goal.
29
How much does that goal matter to you?
30
Plus the psychological enjoyment you get in the pursuit of the goal, right?
31
So as you pursue the goal, how psychologically enjoyable and reinforcing is that for you, minus the psychological cost of the pursuit of the goal.
32
So I'll run you through some examples.
33
Simon Sinek said to me, well, Steve, I take the bins out at 7am in the morning yesterday.
34
I didn't want to do that, but I did it.
35
So okay, let's run that through the framework.
36
What would happen if you didn't take the bins out?
37
That sort of underpins and defines the importance of that goal.
38
Well, he'd get a fine
39
and then he'd have an overflowing bin out the front of his house
40
so the why is high the psychological enjoyment of pursuing taking the bins out is very low right
41
and the friction of getting out of bed at 7am is high
42
but thankfully the why is so strong that regardless of the fact
43
that the pursuit the enjoyment of the pursuit is low
44
and the friction is high the behavior still occurs going to
45
the gym learning to DJ in all areas of my life I can run it through
46
that equation and go okay
47
so in the pandemic the reason I've been going to the gym for three years straight now is
48
because my why surged the perception of the importance of
49
that goal searched i saw how our existing health correlates to our health outcomes
50
and i realized for the first time in my life this clear thought
51
that i couldn't unshak that my health is my first foundation it is this table
52
that everything i love and care about sits upon so that has to be
53
my number one priority reflected in my schedule so that that changed
54
that went up the psychological pursuit of going to the gym
55
is kind of enjoyable there's a bit of a dopamine release there
56
and it's fun to do that feels good for my self -esteem and the friction associated with it is low unless
57
unless i go to a gym where people know me
58
and i spend the whole time talking then what i what happens
59
if i'm put in that situation
60
so i don't go to the gym the discipline equation changes
61
so part of the reason i made a big investment in a company called until is
62
because i can have somewhere i can work out
63
and focus on the workout genuinely that's one of the things
64
that actually changed my relationship with the gym
65
and nearly threw me off the habit yeah was that psychological cost
66
so how do you how does
67
that sit with you it does this you've got the discipline equation death time
68
and discipline yeah what's the death part so like
69
when i started writing
70
that particular chapter in my book to understand discipline you have to understand the scarcity of time
71
because you know so i i started
72
because i was going to write a chapter about time management people want to know how to manage their time
73
and as i went through the hundreds of available time management
74
techniques i realized the promoter technique the time blocking all this
75
one two three four the abc the reason why there's
76
so many time management techniques is because none of them work unless you have this underlying thing called discipline.
77
It's the same in the fad diet industry.
78
That industry will always churn out new things because there's an underlying issue, which is discipline.
79
So it's kind of a mirage industry.
80
So the chapter pivoted and started focusing on discipline.
81
Well, the next thing was time.
82
Why is time important?
83
Around the numbers, if you're, how old are you now?
84
35. Okay.
85
So you have, if you reach the average age of an American, you have just over 17 ,000 days left to live.
86
And I think all of that goes to show
87
that time is the currency we're playing with in every moment of our lives.
88
It's a center point of our influence.
89
I talk about the roulette table of my life.
90
It's a frame I think through where we wake up in the morning with these 24 chips.
91
If you spend eight hours sleeping, you wake up with six, 16 chips left.
92
And how you place those chips on this roulette table
93
that sits in front of us just before the wheel spins every day determines all of our outcomes in our lives.
94
So I've chosen now to allocate two chips to this little piece here called fitness, the roulette table spins, and I get my returns.
95
As I went down that chapter, I realized that in the context of time and death and time management, the most important question to answer the fundamental is discipline.
96
How can I allocate more of these chips to the things that are in line with my values?
97
Where does this thing called discipline come from if it underpins everything we do?
98
It even underpins what you just said there with Fred again and that Mark Manson quote.
99
The reason why Fred again is doing that is because his discipline equation is in line.
100
If for whatever reason you just tipped any part of that equation, you could knock him off that discipline.
101
With Jimmy Carr and with all these people that go do that decade of dedication to become masters in their craft, if you look to their discipline equation, you'll see moments where the friction came up and they fell off,
102
or they got writer's block, or whatever it might be called in their context.
103
And then, so you can influence your discipline, if you understand that equation.
104
When my DJ equipment was on the floor of my spare room, I did not DJ.
105
The minute I put it on my kitchen counter
106
and had it one button away from being able to practice at any given moment
107
and put it right in front of me same thing for any creator
108
if you're starting to do a youtube channel
109
and this is this is a life hack here you remember you might have had this in your house
110
when you were younger radio uh infrared socket turner on
111
or it's like a single remote it's like 10 bucks on amazon
112
and you leave the wall socket on at all times
113
and you run it through one of these additional sockets
114
and then you plug your shit into that thing yeah
115
and it's like 10 bucks right on amazon my entire studio at home is run through one of these
116
so i go in and i just press one two three four
117
and everything comes on because
118
when i was first starting out it was super effortful for me to set up the camera
119
and i'm going to do the thing
120
and i'm already trying to learn to do youtube and it's terrifying
121
and i'm looking into this black lens and it stares back at me friction
122
precisely same as you dj kit can't be on the floor
123
if you want me to practice as much as possible
124
or make get it in the way put it in the
125
way of things right it's almost harder for me to dj than it is for me to avoid it.
126
It was on my kitchen counter.
127
So I would sometimes be going into the kitchen to eat something and just, oh, press the button.
128
I'm off.
129
Four hours later, I've just done a four -hour DJ practice.
130
If you think about, give me something in your life you're disciplined at, and we'll run it through the equation.
131
Something you've shown great discipline at.
132
Recording the podcast.
133
Recording the podcast.
134
Does it really matter to you?
135
Yes.
136
Is there psychological enjoyment from the pursuit?
137
Yes.
138
Is the friction high?
139
What's the level of friction?
140
Four out of ten.
141
Four out of ten.
142
But if we added up the first part of the equation, how much does it matter to you out of ten?
143
Ten.
144
And how much, what's the psychological enjoyment of the pursuit?
145
Nine.
146
So I'd say we're about 19 take away four.
147
And because it's positive, the behavior will occur.
148
You can do that as a minus four, right?
149
The behavior will occur.
150
If at any point the friction gets really high, and for whatever reason, if the pursuit of it or the why behind, you know, the subjective meaning behind it falls, the behavior will not occur.
151
I've heard you do this with your meditation practice.
152
Yeah.
153
Which is why you're not meditating.
154
Yeah, exactly.
155
My why isn't strong enough.
156
I haven't quite had the evidence to know.
157
The intrinsic enjoyment of it as well.
158
Sometimes we need a little bit more pain, right?
159
It's a robust way to frame it.
160
I guess if Alex was sat here, he would say, we might say, a lot of people are driven by pain rather than pleasure, right?
161
100%.
162
And that's the why part.
163
The chip on your shoulder accounts for so much.
164
It can account for so much right?
165
You know, somebody who had a really bad period of mental health, they suffered with anxiety attacks, and it lost them something or somebody scorned them,
166
and they go, oh, okay.
167
And then they decide to commit themselves to mental health and improving the texture of their own mind.
168
That's coming from a place of wanting to prove other people wrong.
169
Whether someone is driven or dragged is impossible to tell on the surface.
170
And I've sat in my podcast over and over again and asked people, are you driven?
171
Are you being dragged by something?
172
When I say dragged, I mean, some kid on the playground at seven years old told you you're a scumbag and you'll never be anything and you're poor.
173
And then that's dragged you.
174
That insecurity and that shame has dragged you to entrepreneurship and to becoming a millionaire.
175
Driven is what, you know, Gary Vaynerchuk describes to me where he says his mother loved him
176
so much and she encouraged him so much that he had that drive to kind of like prove her right.
177
Whatever force it is, it comes down to why, which is the start of the equation.
178
And even in my case, super tons of shame as a kid, the only black kid in an all white area pretty much.
179
The poorest family in our street, definitely.
180
Dilapidated house in the context of a wonderful area.
181
Deep shame and insecurity about not being enough.
182
Drove me like I was an obsessed, hungry dog for still doing it now.
183

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.
