1
Sometimes I wonder if we've forgotten how to live.
Đôi khi tôi tự hỏi liệu chúng ta đã quên cách sống rồi chăng.
2
Now we have more conveniences than ever before, yet we're constantly running out of time.
Ngày nay chúng ta có nhiều tiện nghi hơn bao giờ hết, thế nhưng chúng ta lại luôn cảm thấy không đủ thời gian.
3
More entertainment than we could ever consume, and yet somehow still feel like something is missing.
Có vô số nội dung giải trí nhiều hơn mức chúng ta có thể tiêu thụ, nhưng bằng cách nào đó, chúng ta vẫn cảm thấy thiếu một điều gì đó.
4
We're more connected than ever, yet so many of us feel disconnected from the world right in front of us.
Chúng ta kết nối với nhau nhiều hơn bao giờ hết, thế nhưng rất nhiều người trong chúng ta lại cảm thấy bị ngắt kết nối với thế giới ngay trước mắt mình.
5
And the strangest part is that so much of this has become normal that we rarely stop to question it.
Và điều kỳ lạ nhất là phần lớn những điều này đã trở thành bình thường đến mức chúng ta hiếm khi dừng lại để đặt câu hỏi về nó.
6
I mean, who has the time, right?
Ý tôi là, ai có thời gian đâu chứ?
7
Well, I've been thinking about this a lot lately.
Gần đây tôi đã suy nghĩ rất nhiều về điều này.
8
Last year, I started writing a book on intentional living.
Năm ngoái, tôi bắt đầu viết một cuốn sách về lối sống có chủ đích.
9
I've written hundreds of scripts on this topic before, so if anything, I could just compile all the materials and wrap a big bow around it.
Tôi đã viết hàng trăm kịch bản về chủ đề này trước đây, nên nếu cần thì tôi chỉ cần tổng hợp tất cả tài liệu lại và trình bày chúng một cách hoàn chỉnh thôi.
10
But after spending far too many weeks trying to stitch it all together, I had to face the real reason why it wasn't progressing.
Nhưng sau khi dành quá nhiều tuần để cố gắng ghép tất cả lại với nhau, tôi đã phải đối mặt với lý do thực sự tại sao mọi thứ lại không tiến triển.
11
For years, I've been answering the question, what can I live without?
Trong nhiều năm, tôi đã luôn tự trả lời câu hỏi: tôi có thể sống thiếu điều gì?
12
But I was leaving out the second half of that question.
13
What makes life worth living? And what does
14
that mean to me now as a 36 year old compared to the 30 year old who started this YouTube channel?
15
This wasn't something I was going to figure out sitting behind a desk.
16
And I thought maybe I needed to stop writing about intentional living
17
and actually go out and live it and what better way to do
18
that than a road trip five countries a few weeks away from our usual routines isn't
19
this exactly the kind of experience we've been saving up for so we packed up our bags and started our journey
20
first stop vienna the beauty of vienna kind of hits you hard.
21
You can see that for centuries people have put extraordinary care into ordinary things,
22
like turning something as simple as a doorknob or a fountain into an art piece.
23
Nowadays we're so used to measuring the value of something by how useful it is or how much time it saves us,
24
and I've talked a lot about this in my minimalism videos too, but Vienna challenged that perspective.
25
Because when something is truly beautiful, it moves us.
26
It becomes something worth cherishing and preserving.
27
Somewhere between the Gothic churches and the beautifully curated gardens,
28
I was also reminded that I am in charge of making my own life as beautiful as I want.
29
Whether it's drinking coffee from my favorite ceramic, or creating my outfit of the day,
30
or filling my home with that perfect warm orange glow in the evenings.
31
Not beauty defined by someone else's standards, but beauty that feels meaningful to me.
32
And speaking of life's essentials, a good apple strudel with a side of vanilla ice cream might be just one of them too.
33
Thank you so much to DJI for sponsoring today's video.
34
When I was planning this trip, I knew I wanted to capture as much as possible,
35
So I was really excited when DJI reached out and asked me to try their new Osmo Pocket 4P.
36
It's the perfect travel camera because it's compact, practical, and literally fits in my coat pocket.
37
So let's unbox it together and I'll show you some of my favorite features.
38
I got the standard bundle in pearl white and everything comes in this cute little pouch.
39
Inside, you'll find the camera, the fill lights for the evening shots, a USB cable, and a little handle.
40
I really appreciate that it has two lenses with different focal lengths,
41
so whether I'm filming a wide shot of a beautiful cityscape or zooming in to capture the little details,
42
I can do it all with one device.
43
And the image quality?
44
Clean and crisp.
45
Plus, the built -in gimbal keeps the footage very smooth.
46
speaking of compact even has a built -in storage
47
so i don't have to worry about carrying around extra memory cards with me
48
so if you are looking for a compact camera for traveling
49
or for everyday filming definitely check out the dji osmo pocket 4p let's go
50
and film with it now we are in budapest
51
and we're gonna go and explore today it's such a beautiful day again i'm just getting really blessed with the weather.
52
There's so much life just outside the doors.
53
We're staying at the Jewish Quarter.
54
Can't wait to explore!
55
For the duration of the trip, I decided to take some time off of YouTube.
56
At first, I was in my head about the inconsistent income, the engagement of the channel, and all these made -up numbers.
57
But the more that I sat with it, I could hear my own voice yelling at me.
58
I've been doing this for six years.
59
I've saved up and worked to free up my time, and for what?
60
If I can't give myself permission to go out and enjoy life, what was all of this for?
61
And I see this all around me.
62
My peers, friends, and family.
63
We're so used to putting off enjoying life until we feel like we've met some arbitrary deadlines.
64
But will that day really come?
65
Or is it just a narrative that we keep telling ourselves?
66
Maybe we've forgotten that we don't need permission to enjoy.
67
We are doing a dinner river cruise in Budapest and we're just passing the parliament. So beautiful.
68
So yeah, we bar hopped the ruined bars, wandered around the city at night and ended the trip with an evening cruise along the Dinoo.
69
Because we're 36 in Budapest, only once.
70
We just checked out of our Airbnb in Budapest
71
and now we're heading to Kratislava and we're stopping on the way to one of the lakes called Tata Castle.
72
That's where the castle is.
73
My husband and I love road trips, mainly because it's easier with the dogs,
74
but I really love the feeling of the open road ahead of us.
75
We pass by a lot of tunnels, semi -trucks, cows, storms, little towns,
76
and to be honest, a whole lot of nothing.
77
And it's funny because we say smart things like it's all about the journey, not the destination.
78
But I don't think we talk about the fact that the journey is usually a whole lot of nothing.
79
Waking up, going to work, groceries, and cooking.
80
That's 99 % of it.
81
And we blame social media for creating unrealistic expectations of life.
82
But I think this was always the case we as a society put
83
so much emphasis into the one percent like graduations and weddings
84
and vacations that it's easy to let our whole lives pass us by welcome to slovakia we're in bratislava
85
sure the tunnels the semi trucks the cows were not as exciting as exploring the beautiful old town of bratislava
86
but even passing through the nothingness i was next to my husband
87
my dogs in the back made me realize that it's enough just to be there for it
88
we are at the design show in prague right now and it's huge there's just so many cool exhibitions
89
and so cool to see different people doing different things
90
the thing that's really cool about design shows like this is
91
that you get a little glimpse into other people's worlds what they're interested in their personal style their unique vision
92
and what they want to put out into the world
93
you guys know i spent years trying to simplify my life
94
and decluttering forces you to ask a pretty important question what no longer belongs in my life
95
but after going through all that decluttering cleansing resetting whatever you want to call it,
96
I realized that there's another question that's just as important.
97
What do I want to bring into my life?
98
Because whether we realize it or not, we're always consuming something.
99
The things that we buy, the places we visit, what we read, what we watch, the people we surround ourselves with.
100
And all those little choices eventually shape the world that we live in.
101
The tricky part is that nowadays there's always someone telling us what to buy, where to go, and what to be interested in.
102
And some of those recommendations are great, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they're right for us.
103
And I think that's something we can only figure out by experiencing things for ourselves.
104
Discovering what we love and what we couldn't care less about.
105
And slowly, we get to know ourselves a little better.
106
and speaking of one of the things
107
i love a dear friend flew all the way to see me in prague we ended our time there giggling
108
and talking the night away first day in berlin
109
i am all bundled up it's freezing outside even though it's really sunny uh
110
we're gonna take the dogs for a really long walk uh since it's one of the nicer days
111
that we're gonna have can't wait to explore the city my babies are ready are you ready
112
and then here we were in berlin i'll be honest i didn't really know what to expect from berlin
113
the creativity and the alternative culture i heard
114
so much about were everywhere on the sides of the buildings out on the streets
115
and it wasn't all beautiful nor did it make sense but it didn't have to.
116
Here I am living a pretty unconventional life myself and who am I to say what someone else's should look like?
117
And isn't that the beauty of self -expression?
118
It doesn't have to make sense to anyone else but ourselves.
119
And what is an alternative lifestyle anyways?
120
Alternative to what? it.
121
I guess the same could be said about what makes life worth living.
122
I spent this entire trip trying to put it neatly into words, as if there's only one right answer.
123
But maybe I've been asking the wrong question.
124
Maybe it's not about what makes life worth living, but how we can make our lives worth living.
125
Not just once, but over and over again.
126
Sometimes, the things that once mattered so much to us might not matter anymore.
127
Relationships change, priorities shift.
128
We find ourselves asking these questions all over again.
129
We don't always get to choose what happens to us, or how the world changes around us.
130
But we can keep choosing how we live through it all.
131
i came home to three thousand something emails and
132
that same blank google doc staring back at me
133
and yep the trip was absolutely worth having to deal with this
134
but hey i think i finally figured out how to write a book one word at a time

Người nói dùng 52 dạng rút gọn, ví dụ we're, I've, don't. Hãy nói theo dạng ngắn đúng như bạn nghe.
- Âm “sh” và “zh”: capture /ˈkæp.(t)ʃɚ/, intentional /ɪnˈtɛnʃənəl/, vacation /veɪˈkeɪ.ʃən/, exhibition /ɛksɪˈbɪʃən/, destination /dɛstɪˈneɪʃən/

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.
