1
The ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus said that this too is one of the evils of foolishness.
2
It is always beginning to live.
3
This too is one of the evils of foolishness.
4
It is always beginning to live.
5
What he's calling us out here for is our perpetual attempt to finally make a change,
6
to finally start to become the person that we know we need to be.
7
And how do we go about this?
8
We say next week, next month, next year, in this new year,
9
I'm going to start out being exactly the person that I know I need to be, that I've always wanted to be,
10
and I'm just going to continue that way i'm going to have my perfect life my perfect streak
11
this day is done this year is done but next year
12
and tomorrow i will achieve it i will make another attempt
13
and don't you realize don't we realize what happens every time we make this promise in which we say
14
okay today is dead and gone i've failed and i've been failing but tomorrow is a new day and
15
when i wake up i'm just going to start to be the person in this new year whatever it may be
16
that i've always needed to be and what happens is we slip up something or we don't do something to the degree
17
that we had promised ourselves to do, and we give up.
18
We say, oh well, we failed again, but try again later.
19
And we talked about this before on this channel.
20
Every challenge is an opportunity.
21
But what we see challenges as are battles that we need to win.
22
And if we fail, we have failed and we're failures.
23
Whereas in reality, we can recognize a challenge for what it really is, an opportunity for advancement.
24
I've said it before.
25
In every challenge, either the challenge is overcome and we have advanced, or we failed the challenge,
26
but we can advance towards advancement.
27
What I mean by that is we must finally stop to begin only to stop again, but instead we should just continue.
28
Let's not call this a new beginning.
29
Let's just call it a continuation because everything we've been through so far,
30
even though we have not achieved that what we really truly wanted to achieve and still want to achieve
31
but every single challenge has brought us closer to that
32
yes we didn't overcome the things
33
that we want to overcome we haven't stopped being the person
34
that we want to stop being but every single challenge that we in our eyes failed
35
was a step closer to that
36
And this is exactly how every single challenge that we fail to overcome gets us to fail.
37
It succeeds when it succeeds to make us think that today is lost and that we may get to try again tomorrow.
38
Take a simple thing as your diet if you want to lose weight.
39
What you do is, today you have the temptation,
40
and you give in to the temptation,
41
as we've always done, that's why we're in need of the diet, right?
42
And as soon as we've given in to the temptation, we count today as lost.
43
Is that not what we do?
44
we say well I've already eaten this I've already been over my goal of my caloric intake
45
so I might as well
46
just eat even more today because today is lost I will try again tomorrow
47
but today is lost so I might as well indulge
48
but again as our Roman Emperor Stoic philosopher friend Marcus Aurelius says it's about making the best move possible.
49
Yes, you have eaten.
50
Yes, you have made a mistake.
51
Yes, you have given given into something
52
that you no longer want to give in give into
53
but this there's still the best move you can make from now on for the rest of the day
54
and that way yes maybe you've failed your challenge but you have advanced towards advancement
55
So the one mentality that keeps us from achieving our goals is this,
56
giving up on today and hoping to be able to start again, to live finally tomorrow.
57
But another one is the past and the future.
58
When the challenge arises, and notice how the challenge always arises within the present moment,
59
nothing is ever asked of you in the past because that would be impossible.
60
The past is gone and the future is yet to come.
61
So the challenge, the achievement of all of your goals,
62
the path that leads to becoming the person that you want to become, the challenge for that, the test for that,
63
and the point at which you make yourself that person, is always the present, never the past, and never the future.
64
But, what weighs on us in the present, is always the past or the future.
65
What weighs on us in the present, is never the present.
66
it's the past or the future
67
again Marcus Aurelius says
68
tell me what in this present moment is so unbearable and you will be ashamed of your answer and it's true
69
whenever the challenge arises whenever the temptation comes whenever that happens what always happens and what finally needs to stop happening
70
ask yourself what in this present moment is
71
so unbearable what's wrong and you will realize it's not the present moment
72
that weighs on you it's the past or the future
73
it's your past what you regard as traumas the things that happened beforehand that you think
74
has made your identity has shaped your identity and all the regrets
75
and the shame and the resentment that you have from the past is what is making you act
76
in the way that you don't want to be acting in the present
77
or like we said it's the future that makes us do these things in the present
78
future worries future anxieties things that you anticipate will happen
79
but that have obviously not have happened yet is what makes you now in the present shape that future
80
everything you ever wanted to achieve ever could possibly want to
81
achieve ever could possibly dream for anyone else to achieve is
82
always achieved in the present moment the only time we live is now life is lived by one present moment
83
after another
84
we cannot live in the past we cannot live in the future we all know this
85
but when it comes to it in the exact moment we're always weighed down by the past or the future
86
you have to realize that the present is literally all
87
that anyone ever has we all have 24 hours
88
that consists of many many little moments in the present in the now
89
and all we can all we ever have at our disposal
90
to do anything whatsoever with our lives is the material of the present moment that's all
91
that we have that's all
92
that anyone has ever had to do anything is the present moment this one
93
and this one and this one and the next one
94
so we must get rid of all the things
95
that prevent us from using the present moment isn't that clear enough
96
if all that we have is the present moment
97
and clearly something is in the way of us being able to use this one and only material of life
98
then we must get rid of whatever that is
99
and we just had a hint of what that might be
100
when we talked about the past weighing on us
101
or the future weighing on us either with past regrets
102
or with future worries but we also have to make sure that our goals
103
for which we only have the present moment to achieve them, are the right ones.
104
Because it's also possible that our own being is trying to tell us that it's not right for us, that this goal we've set for ourselves,
105
and that we keep trying to achieve, keep failing and spiraling into this, that this might not be right.
106
There's a simple, a perfect way of finding that out.
107
And as to go inside to examine our own beliefs and to ask the simple question, how many of my goals,
108
how much of me and how much of what I want to be is determined by my identity?
109
how much of this and what of this am I trying to do because I'm trying to be a good husband, a good wife, a good brother, a good sister, a good friend,
110
a good worker, because I'm trying to impress this or that person?
111
or what of this is me trying to live up to the fantasies that I've built up as a child?
112
How much of this adult me is going around in the world trying to satisfy the fantasies of the 15-year-old me?
113
how much of my life am I trying to make look
114
like what I had imagined it would be as a child it's amazing
115
with how many preconceived notions and goals and ambitions we walk around
116
that we have formed when we were a child essentially and how we as adults
117
try to live up to the fantasies of a teenager of a child
118
we need to drop all of that we almost literally many times
119
have rocks in our pockets and we're trying to swim those possessions that you're trying to get are rocks
120
that are weighing you down in every possible sense
121
you regret not having them you worry never having them and you spend every single present moment
122
on somehow trying to attain them we only have this present
123
moment to live what we spend this present moment on is literally everything our entire life is in the now
124
we think
125
that the present is such a small sliver the present moment is such a small sliver of our life
126
because there's there are decades of our past and decades in our future
127
and it's just this one moment right now that seems
128
so small but all of life is contained in
129
that one moment we do not have another space another time
130
to live in all of life takes place in this exact present moment
131
and everything that gets us to not be present in this present moment is everything
132
that keeps us from living because
133
if we're not living in this present moment now we're not
134
living at all to spend the present moment on regrets in the past
135
or worries in the future is to not spend it on
136
life on living go through all your ambitions all your goals
137
and your entire identity what you think your achievements are what
138
you think your traumas are what you think in the external world has been holding you back all these years
139
and will hold you back in the coming years and realize all of of it is self-imposed.
140
Look around you.
141
The world requires nothing of you.
142
Not a single thing that you do is required by the universe, by God, whatever you want to call it.
143
These are all self-imposed requirements.
144
Your deadlines are self-imposed.
145
your worries are self-imposed most of your regrets are self-imposed they don't have to be there all the things
146
that you need to do and all the certain ways in
147
which you have to do them and all the certain times in
148
which you have to do them by our self-imposed requirements and obligations that come from our identity.
149
I just said recently in a video,
150
yes, all those bad things that happened to you in the past did happen.
151
All the things that you feel like are holding you back yes they did happen
152
but they don't have to define you they don't have to be your identity
153
when you think of yourself as that person
154
when you think of yourself as that victim
155
and you think of yourself as this disadvantaged person that's being held back by the entire world outside of them.
156
You do nothing other than give the present moment over to the past or to the future.
157
And that's something that you do.
158
No one else does that.
159
Again, no one's denying that these things have happened, that people treat people unfairly, that people lie, that people cheat,
160
that people aim to hurt others.
161
No one's denying any of that.
162
But we must not add to it by making it our identity.
163
If someone came in here right now and insulted me, it's not like I would say that didn't happen.
164
Yes, this person came in and they said what they said.
165
But it is on me to go around offended by that, resenting that, hating it, regretting it,
166
getting angry at it, telling others about it, having that anger in me and that resentment and that
167
just fury about how a person could act like this and how this is unjust and unfair and improper.
168
I could go around the rest of my entire life doing that.
169
And at some point, the vast majority of our regrets, of everything that we resent,
170
is our own regret and our own misery.
171
It's not the event itself at that point.
172
We have regretted it, resented it, been angry at it so much, both in time and intensity,
173
then most of what we are angry about most of what we resent is actually our own anger our own resentment
174
we've added so much to it
175
that the thing has become mostly what we added to it and so from this day on
176
and this new year stop always beginning new
177
today is not lost tomorrow is no different than today really it's the present moment any challenge anything
178
that you ever need to face you will face with the
179
same mindset with the same tools in this present moment
180
if you can't do it now
181
if you feel like you can't do it now you won't be able to do tomorrow either
182
and the only way to be able to do it tomorrow
183
is to do it in this present moment as well it's
184
always going to be the same challenge is always going to
185
feel the same there's always going to be just as much
186
as difficult tomorrow as it feels like it is right this present moment
187
the challenger is here the challenge is now
188
and it's only this present moment
189
that you need to deal with there is no past there
190
is no future it's this one little slice of time
191
that is all that is ever asked of you to deal with it's only
192
that slice of temptation only that slice of challenge only
193
that slice of difficulty
194
that you need to deal with nothing else nothing else even
195
exists let go of the past let go the future the slice
196
that is in front of you now is all
197
that you have to deal with and so stop beginning to live anew every single time the challenge presents itself
198
and simply make the very best move you can in this present moment.

Phát âm cần chú ý
Người nói dùng 41 dạng rút gọn, ví dụ I've, don't, I'm. Hãy nói theo dạng ngắn đúng như bạn nghe.
- Âm “sh” và “zh”: temptation /ˌtɛmpˈteɪʃən/, foolishness /ˈfuːlɪʃnəs/, ambition /æmˈbɪʃ.ən/, continuation /kənˌtɪnjʊˈeɪʃ(ə)n/, ashamed /əˈʃeɪmd/

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.
