Luyện nói tiếng Anh bằng Shadowing qua video: The 5 Mentalities of Mastery | Robin Sharma

Hi, this is Robin Sharma.

Welcome to this Mastery Session.

This Mastery Session is called the five mentalities of mastery.

And I'm going to start off with Muhammad Ali, the great legendary iconic boxing champion.

And to paraphrase one of his famous quotes, he said, you know, I hated every time I went into the gym, but I said I said to myself,

don't quit, suffer now, and spend the rest of your life as a champion.

And so there are a series of mindsets and mentalities

that the great masters and champions of the sports and business and the arts and the sciences and the humanities all have.

And in this mastery session, I want to share five of them with you, and I'm gonna dig right in.

The first one is really the lunchbox versus the executive mentality.

You see, the thing about a master is she never thinks she's a master.

The thing about a professional is he always thinks like an amateur.

And what I mean by that is you want to maintain this lunchbox mentality.

You want to be boots on the ground, relentless learning, a humble servant of your craft.

Because the moment you think you're an executive or a master, you start to lose the very winning formula that made you so successful.

And I think of Bruce Springsteen.

You know, Bruce Springsteen, he's been performing for decades and decades, and yet, if you have ever seen a Bruce Springsteen show,

he brings it on versus mails it in.

And so I'm gonna challenge you with great love and respect, as I always wanna do in these mastery sessions, but are you still maintaining that lunchbox mentality,

like the laborers carrying the lunchbox when they go to the job site?

Are you still hungry?

You still have a fire in your belly?

Do you still go the extra mile for your customers?

Do you still go the extra mile for your organization?

Or are you just showing up?

I mean, for me, I've been teaching leadership and personal mastery for almost two decades.

And I really believe I am a laborer.

I'm a plumber of high performance.

I really feel like a laborer.

I roll up my sleeves.

I still get dirty.

I still deconstruct the way I do things.

In my meditations, in my journaling, I do my very best to come from a place of utter humility and service.

And I see myself with that lunchbox mentality.

And I'm not perfect, but I encourage you to maintain that mindset

because it is part of what will keep you at a level of mastery, not only in your work, but in your personal life.

Number two, the rigorous versus superficial mentality.

This is a big one.

When I watch people right now, there is what I call the collective unprofessionalization of business.

If you look at people, let's say at airports, you look at gate agents, they're chatting with their friends.

You go into a shoe store, and rather than welcoming you into the shoe store,

the person behind the counter is checking their Facebook page.

You go to a restaurant and rather being attentive to you and your loved ones,

the people are chit-chatting and gossiping and looking at videos of dancing cats

or bloopers or bleepers or weepers or whatever they're called.

And my point is simply this is an incredibly gorgeous opportunity for you.

In this world of so much unprofessionalism, where people are just clocking it in versus bringing it on,

where people are lost in this trance of distraction, suffering from collective attention deficit disorder,

you can operate and apply this second mentality.

rather than being superficial, be really rigorous.

Be a professional.

If you're not over-prepared for a meeting, you're under-prepared.

Spend a lot of your free time reading and learning about your career, about your industry, about the work that you do.

Get a mentor if you are serious about being rigorous around your craft.

Make the time at least once a week to pull out your journal and deconstruct your week.

Just deconstruct the way you do things.

When you are working on a project, don't just slap it together.

Don't just rush right through it.

There is such an attraction to doing things quickly now because everything is quick.

Messaging is coming to us so quickly.

We can access information so quickly.

We can access entertainment so quickly.

We can get our food so quickly.

And as a result of that, we do our work too quickly.

Okay?

And hey, this is the, not superficial, the second mentality, the rigorous mentality.

Go deep versus wide.

If you look at any great master, they were monomaniacally focused on going deep around one thing.

Khalil Gibran wrote one of my favorite books, The Prophet.

I heard he carried it around with him for five years to get every single word right.

That's a craftsperson.

You know, when you look at the great athletes.

I recently was in San Francisco and I watched Steph Curry play.

Steph Curry was fluid like a ballerina on the court.

You know, I have NBA superstars coming to my live events.

And when I watch them, they are so focused on going deep around their skill versus being all things to everyone everyone.

Third mentality of mastery is the leader versus victim mentality.

And if you've read The Leader Who Had No Title, you know I talk about it a lot.

But you have a choice when you go to work every day.

When you show up in business every day, you have a choice.

You can be a victim or you can be a leader.

You can't be both.

And what's the hallmark of a victim?

Well, you give away your power.

You say, well, I'm not the boss.

I don't need to bring on my A game today.

Or I I went through a divorce 10 years ago,

and I'm gonna blame my ex-spouse and give away my power and be a bitter person versus an optimistic leader.

That's what victims do.

They say, well, I'm resigned to average.

Why should I take the time to read a book, to build a friendship, to transcend a fear?

Why should I do that?

That's how victims think.

They use words like, I hate and I can't and that would never work.

And they love to criticize because every victim was once a dreamer who got hurt.

And now they sit back in their armchairs and they criticize other people because they're too frightened to get into the game.

So you can be a victim not only in your work but in your life.

100

Or you can be a leader.

101

And as you know, you can lead without a title.

102

Right?

103

I have seen janitors behave like leaders.

104

I have seen taxi drivers bring on their A game.

105

I've seen so-called ordinary people running so-called ordinary jobs with a sparkle in their eye.

106

And they work with love.

107

They work with attention to detail.

108

They work like their work is the most important work in the world.

109

I mean, I remember grade five, Cora Greenaway.

110

You know, celebrate your mentors.

111

And I was in grade five, and really no one thought I would amount to very much.

112

I was really dismissed by a lot of people.

113

And Cora Greenway, my grade five history teacher, saw something in me that very few people saw.

114

She saw the early sparks of some kind of a talent.

115

And because she cared, and because she was a leader as a school teacher, she spent time with me.

116

She stayed late with me.

117

She encouraged me versus dismissed me.

118

And here it is all these years later, and deep in my heart, right at my core, I still feel not only appreciation,

119

but love for that school teacher when I was in grade five with the glasses named Cora Greenaway.

120

Which brings me to the fourth mentality of mastery that I wanna share with you in this session.

121

The future versus past mentality.

122

You know, there are so many people on the planet and they're really operating from the past.

123

And here's what I mean.

124

Something happened to them when they were little kids.

125

They were told not to dream too big.

126

They were told to dress like everyone else.

127

They had a dream and the dream failed.

128

Or maybe you were a teenager and there was someone that you loved and you got rejected.

129

Or maybe you were 22 and you started a business and you failed in that business.

130

and now it's 10 years later or 20 years later or 40 years later and you're still living in the past.

131

I want you to really think about this.

132

Most people on the planet today are not living in the present and they're certainly not living in the future.

133

They are stuck in the resentments, the bitterness, the pain, the frustration, the disappointments of the past.

134

And it could be a month ago.

135

It could be 20 or 30 years ago.

136

And if you don't work through what happened in your past, you are resigned to spend the rest of your future stuck in the past.

137

If you want to play it mastery in your craft, you want to play it mastery in your thinking, you want to play it mastery in your performance, you want to play it mastery in your income,

138

you want to play it mastery in your service to humanity humanity.

139

You owe it to yourself and the best within you

140

and the talent that resides within you to do the work required to let go of the past.

141

I don't know what it's going to look like for you.

142

It could be meditation.

143

It could be journaling.

144

It could be prayer.

145

It could be working with a healer.

146

It could be working with a mentor.

147

It could be affirmations.

148

It could be visualization.

149

It could be reading the books of the A players so that their thinking infuses and hypnotizes and recodes your neurobiology,

150

but you owe it to yourself to release the past

151

so you can free yourself

152

from the things that happened that disappointed you and move into a bold and brilliant and gorgeous future.

153

Please do not let a stained past deny your spotless future.

154

Which brings me to the fifth of the mentalities for mastery I want to share with you in this session.

155

which is be a helper versus a taker.

156

One of the defining traits of the most successful people I have coached, the billionaires, the A players,

157

the celebrity CEOs, the Fortune 500 companies,

158

the fastest teams, they have installed a belief system that the person who serves the most wins.

159

One of my favorite interviews is Charlie Rose interviewing Ted Turner.

160

As you know, Ted Turner created CNN.

161

Ted Turner was dismissed.

162

He was laughed at.

163

You know, no one ever imagined a 24-hour cable news channel would get any traction, you know?

164

And this man, like, I'd encourage you to really read and study about Ted Turner's life.

165

I mean, he won America's Cup.

166

He started the Cartoon Network.

167

He started the Goodwill Games.

168

this man is an industry titan.

169

Study as much as you can about the way he thinks, the way he behaves, his values, his rituals, his routines.

170

Why?

171

Because as you do, and then apply them and execute them and wire them in, you will get the results he starts to get.

172

But what I want to share with you is, in this interview with Charlie Rose, he went back to rotary.

173

You see, Ted Turner was a Rotarian just like my father was a Rotarian.

174

And he said, you know, he who serves the best prospers the most.

175

I'm going to repeat that again because it's so profound, at least to me and I'm sure it is to you.

176

He who serves the best prospers the most.

177

And at the end of the day,

178

leadership and high performance and being a Titan is about value distribution to as many people as possible.

179

And if you really want to rise to mastery, wake up every morning and spend five minutes, well that looks like ten minutes,

180

thinking about this fundamental question, reflecting on it, letting this question wash over your brain cells and your heart cells,

181

right to your very core.

182

How may I serve the most people?

183

Because if that becomes your obsession, you will work with love.

184

Your work will be Van Gogh level.

185

Your passion will be Steph Curry level,

186

or Michael Jordan level, or Muhammad Ali level or Djokovic level.

187

And everything else will take care of itself.

188

So, you know, there's been a lot in this mastery session.

189

I encourage you to pull out your journal

190

or watch it with your team and then deconstruct everything I've shared because with better awareness, you will make better choices.

191

With better choices, you're going to see better results.

192

That's my three-step success formula.

193

With better awareness, you'll make better choices.

194

better choices, you'll see better results.

195

So share this, talk about it with your team, watch it with your family, deconstruct it, and then most importantly, go out and live it,

196

because an idea not brilliantly executed on with utter consistency is just a fallacy.

197

Love you a lot, talk to you soon.

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.
