Luyện nói tiếng Anh bằng Shadowing qua video: True Masculine Leadership

Good afternoon.

Dwayne here, Dry Creek Rainer School.

Another hot day here in Kentucky.

I think we've got about four more days before

that cold front's supposed to come through and drop our highs down to the 70s.

We've endured up to this point, so we can endure four more days.

I'm here in, I guess, my woodshed, which is just an open -ended...

Here, let me do this.

it's an open -ended lean -to on the front of my barn

so i got good shade i got a little bit of breeze coming through it's making things tolerable let's see

if we adjust this there we go um got my sms meerschaum loaded up with some cornell

and dill dark fire kentucky

closest thing i have to an all -day everyday smoke it's the thing i reach for the most

i just did a video over on the other channel on

the tack room bible talk in fact it's uploading in the

background now the uh mobile strength here is very low

so it takes a while So I thought I'd just go ahead and work on this while that's uploading.

I want to do the same subject here, but with a little bit different,

just a little different approach to it.

Same subject.

We're going to talk about leadership, okay?

There's a lot of things, a lot of misunderstandings about leadership today.

Anyway, if you're, if you want to know more on how leadership applies in the church today,

biblically, you might want to go over there and watch that other video when you're done with this one.

But, you might want to make sure you got your big boy pants on before you do, because, because it's a little plain spoken.

Okay?

So anyhow, leadership.

Let me dispel a couple of incorrect ideas about leadership.

And I'm talking about just leadership for men today, whatever you ladies can take from this and apply to your life, you're welcome.

But for you men, for you young men, for you older men, this thing of leadership, I want to break it down a little bit.

And I want to dispel some false ideas we have about it.

let me say first off that just you don't have to be a born leader to lead and

not everyone who's called upon in life to take a position of leadership is a born leader alright Right.

It's it's not a position that you're born into.

Some come by it more naturally than others, but there's a mistake in that idea as well.

Just being born a man, you're born into a position that will most likely at sometimes call you,

call you into leadership if anything,

if only for a limited period of time.

The most important thing I want to address in this is leadership has nothing to do with authority.

I believe that's the biggest mistake and the biggest misunderstanding.

It has nothing to do with authority.

now many of you have I'm guessing most of you do or have worked jobs

let's see if we can get this going here

and you've had fellas in the position of authority whether it be the owner the foreman the supervisor or whatever it is,

but they have no leadership whatsoever.

They have granted authority, but they're just bullies.

they're narcissists and they don't lead and they are the perfect example of how just

because you have authority that does not mean you have leadership

now there are those in authority who have natural leadership ability

and i'll define leadership here in a minute according to my

definition you may define it different you do you okay as always um

and then you know people who are who do not have a recognized official position of authority

but they're natural leaders

and they're they're not your supervisor they're not the foreman they're not the boss they're not the owner

but on a job they're the one the guys look to

they're the one who kind of always seems to have the spirit

and the idea hey guys what if we do this

and it just works they have

that calm clear -headed self -assured hey well we could do this

and it clicks for everybody it's like yeah hey that makes sense

that worked best for everybody and then you go down

that road that's leadership without authority leadership and authority are not the same thing

and they are not always combined in the same personage someone who's always leaning on their authority,

someone who is always bragging up their authority,

someone who's always pulling out their position of authority and using it as a cudgel,

as a whip, they are not leaders.

And so you say, Duane, I'm just a guy.

I'm just a guy.

I'm always the quiet guy.

I'm always that guy.

I'm not a leader.

Okay.

What do you define as a leader?

Well, by nature, by nature of the very definition of the word itself, a leader is the dude out in front.

authority is from behind driving you forward authority leadership is out in front leading you in a path he's already going

authority says you guys get up and go out there

and do that because i said so go on you you you go go do

that go do that because i said so

if you don't you're going to face this punishment you're going to face this trouble.

You don't have to know why.

Do it because I said so.

That's authority.

Leadership is out front.

Says, guys, we're kind of out here now.

We're out on the middle of this prairie.

Haven't seen rain in six or eight weeks.

The water barrels on the wagons are getting low and the animals are tired and everybody's kind of complex.

You all came from Ohio and Pennsylvania and Boston, and you bought these wagons,

and you're headed to a new life in Oregon, but you've never been through this before.

I've been over this path before, and I know about four days ahead of us,

there's a small river, and I know

that there's a stand of trees just east direction of where we're at on

that river that has grass

and what we could do guys is we could head for the river

and kind of shift our bearing a little bit to the east

and find that grass and we could stop there and catch up

and rest up and fill our water barrels

and water all the animals again and kind of catch our breath and then move forward.

100

That's leadership.

101

What do you think, guys?

102

You want to do that?

103

Well, I don't know if I want to do that.

104

Well, we could.

105

I don't know.

106

They told us back in St. Joe that we need to push hard.

107

We need to do this.

108

All right, fellas.

109

You do what you want but I'm going to move off slow and easy myself with my wagon.

110

I'm going to head for that meadow and I'm going to head for that river.

111

Because from experience, I know that's the best way to go.

112

Y 'all do what you want.

113

But I highly recommend that you think about going this path that I'm taking.

114

Because I know this path.

115

I've been down this path.

116

And this is the best path.

117

This is the path I'm going.

118

And then he heads off that way.

119

and then by one by one

120

they look at each other and they shrug

121

and they're like what else are we going to do and they fall in behind him

122

guess what he's a leader

123

and he's leading no threats

124

no authority no reaching into his coat pocket

125

pulling out a document that everybody signed said you have to do what I say do he's just leading

126

he's just quietly saying

127

I know that life is this way I know this is the best way

128

and I'm going to go this way because I know from experience it's the best way

129

but y 'all do what you want believe it or not that's true leadership young men

130

you have a group of guys and y 'all been buddies since junior high and there has been years of

131

immature poor decisions amongst the group

132

and we one day you say somebody says hey you know

133

what let's go down to the dew drop in let's get drunk tonight

134

and let's go out and farmer johnson's field

135

and he just planted it in wheat and let's do donuts

136

and let's spin out

137

and tear it up out there tonight it's supposed to be

138

a full moment let's have fun quiet leadership is where you step up

139

and you say you know what i've been down there before

140

i've been down this path before this isn't the right path to go it's about time we grow up

141

and you quietly say guys

142

i've been working for a farmer for the last year now for the first time in my life i realize

143

how much work it is to go out and level

144

that ground out and re -sow that seed because now I go through it.

145

And I don't think that's probably the best way to go.

146

Let's go camping up on the bluff instead.

147

Let's go do this instead.

148

I'm not going to do that.

149

I'm going to go do this.

150

This is best.

151

No authority.

152

Guys, I forbid you to do this.

153

You can't do this.

154

Anybody goes out to the farmer's place out there and tears up his field tonight, I'm going to whip you, you know.

155

No, just leadership.

156

Leadership is finding the best path to go and going and trying to say, guys, this is why this is the best path.

157

This is why I'm going down that path.

158

Now, if any of you want to follow and go down this path, you're welcome to do so.

159

Son, you just stepped into a position of leadership, and no authority was required, and when you start getting into that life habit,

160

there's an ant getting down in front of my camera there, you're well on your way to a much better life,

161

come on you little rascal, he is persistent,

162

and he's fast oh there he goes we're just keeping it

163

real guys y 'all don't care do you man that's the

164

fastest little ant well okay that's leadership that's not authority people think

165

that to be in leadership i have to have authority no

166

let's get a little closer to home okay your family's not

167

going in the direction how to go now i'm not talking about underage children

168

that are still living at home that is a position of authority

169

but your wife even for those of us who are Christians

170

where we believe God set it up as the husband is

171

the leader in the home he is the leader in the home okay he holds a responsibility

172

but he doesn't have what most today would recognize.

173

authority and

174

when we decide we need to go down a better path we try to get our family to go down

175

that path by the hammer of authority

176

and in today the women today they're forget it okay forget

177

it they're not going to follow your authority in fact they've

178

been brainwashed they ain't gonna follow anybody's authority all right they don't recognize authority

179

and so the men don't do anything and the family implodes

180

because the man says I have no authority in my family

181

and I try to get my family to go a path

182

that is correct and they won't do it and therefore my hands are tied and I'm helpless.

183

It was never a question of authority.

184

And I've gotten this question from a number of men and women.

185

It's a question of leadership.

186

Leadership does not require and demand that anyone follows you.

187

Leadership demands that you get out in front and go the direction that you know you need to go.

188

so if you're like we need to start we need to start going to church

189

just for an example we need to start going to church and the wife says i'm not going to church

190

our kids are getting in trouble in school all the time they're starting to pick up things

191

that are not right that we don't believe in we need to get them under some good godly influence

192

i'm not going to church and maybe she'll throw a fit

193

and say um and you're not taking the kids to church

194

and again given the situation we have in this country you

195

don't feel like you have the authority to make them do

196

that and you probably don't just the real hardcore realities you don't but it doesn't take authority to lead.

197

You say, okay, well, Sunday morning I'm going to church.

198

And you get up and you get dressed.

199

Anybody want to go?

200

No?

201

Okay, you go.

202

You have found a path that is the best and better path to take, and you have gotten in front, and you have started down that,

203

and you've started leading down that path.

204

Now, sometimes, for a long time, it can feel like you're not leading anything.

205

You're just taking a walk because you're out by yourself.

206

But that's what has to be.

207

You say, you know, we should start, whatever, having family devotions.

208

We should start praying together as a family.

209

There are some who think that's what you need and some don't

210

but let's say you feel like that would be very helpful to your family

211

and the wife's like I'm not interested in that

212

and the kids just want to play video games and the wife will step in and block you

213

from leading the children into that okay, alright whatever you set up, 7 o 'clock every evening,

214

you go find a quiet place and you sit there and you read your Bible and you pray

215

and you have family devotions by yourself.

216

You don't have the authority to drive them and to make them do it.

217

Lead them and lead them by going down the right path and be willing to go down that path alone

218

because they may need to see you a long way down

219

that path and see that you have not stepped in

220

so many traps and so many snares and your path is working so much better than their path before they will,

221

if they ever do and that's a reality before they ever do choose to start going down your path leadership not authority

222

it works in church as men go into a church

223

just that quiet standing up saying fellas

224

that this isn't this is not the right way to go um

225

and there will be backlash there's always backlash um leadership takes far more strength personal strength than authority does

226

Authority is a cheap strength that is being granted to you by somebody else.

227

Leadership is a personal strength that comes from inside.

228

Before my family and I went to Papua New Guinea back in 1998, we were getting ready to go.

229

We were preparing.

230

We had, you know, it wasn't a decision.

231

The decision had been made.

232

The preparation had been made.

233

We were just waiting on the proper dates to go.

234

And while we were waiting,

235

several weeks before that, the men of the church got up and told the church,

236

we think we're being led that we need to pay off our mortgage.

237

We don't need to be answering to the bank, spending God's money on all this interest.

238

We need to be separated from the world and we need to pay this off.

239

and the church said sounds like a wonderful idea we agree

240

and we did it was the most amazing thing in a

241

church i've ever seen in my life we had women who had been married for a

242

while bringing their wedding dresses that they had saved

243

and said here sell this and put that money towards a mortgage engagement rings

244

and wedding rings we had an old an old black man in the church, poor as Job's turkey.

245

The church van went and picked him up and, and brought him to services.

246

He had a, he was a big, big man, but he had a heart.

247

He was the gentlest, sweetest soul.

248

He had a heart as big as he was.

249

He brought in a pair of shoes.

250

It's what he had.

251

And he gave his shoes

252

and said sell these put it towards I want to do my part we had men bring in hunting rifles

253

and people had second cars and that they used vehicles they sold

254

and brought it in and we did we paid that mortgage off we got out of debt to the bank.

255

A few weeks later, the pastor had one of these fake, false evangelists.

256

They're not evangelists.

257

It's not biblical.

258

That was a personal friend of his come in and had a one -week We had a one -week series of messages,

259

and the pastor was a good man.

260

He was a good pastor.

261

He had a good family, and we loved him, and we took care of him.

262

the pastor had expressed

263

in the course of a conversation with this evangelist friend of his that they had

264

four or five children and they'd like to have a van that's what they'd like to have

265

because of the size of the family.

266

Well, the next night, this evangelist got up.

267

I'm going somewhere, okay?

268

The next night, this evangelist got up and did not encourage.

269

He ripped into the church.

270

He castigated.

271

He reprimanded.

272

This pastor of yours is a good man.

273

He has a good family.

274

and, you know, if you were good people, you would love your pastor and you would take care of your pastor and he wants a van,

275

you guys need to go down to the dealership and buy your pastor a van.

276

And the church was full.

277

And this false evangelist, as is their skill, he had whipped everybody up to an emotional frenzy because we honestly did love the pastor.

278

He was an excellent man.

279

We loved his family.

280

and they were like yeah yeah yeah and

281

so then the evangelist led right there into a vote how many of you vote you know

282

that let's go down and go down dealership and

283

buy him a van oh yeah yeah yeah and i'm sitting there back on the back wall i was security and

284

just kind of the floating anything anybody needed back there and i'm sitting there and i'm appalled I'm absolutely appalled.

285

And I'm like, man, I don't know what to do in this situation.

286

I'm just a young man.

287

Married, had three small children.

288

And so I didn't say anything.

289

And then we met every Sunday night before service started.

290

The men of the church met in a room, and we prayed for the service.

291

And there were probably 10 or 12 of us in there.

292

and we met, we prayed, and we got done, and I spoke up.

293

I said, fellas, can I have a moment?

294

I have something on my heart.

295

And they're like, yeah, Dwayne, of course, sure, what is it?

296

I said, look, we went before the church,

297

and we led the church into getting ourselves out of debt.

298

And I said, we led them into sacrifice, deep,

299

deep personal sacrifice to sell very dear personal items of theirs to get out of debt

300

because we felt like it was not biblical for us to owe the world.

301

We just did that.

302

and the pastor was sitting there I said look we love

303

Mike all of us nobody in here is going to disagree we love pastor Mike

304

and we're always happy to take care of him and

305

if he needs a van then by all means we should get him a van

306

but can we really biblically in all consciousness go back before the church and lead them back into debt again.

307

And they sit there and they're like oh man

308

did not even think of this did not even see it did not even

309

no we can't do that and I'm like listen whatever you guys decide I'm not

310

going to go against it but this was on my heart

311

and this is what I think the mistake I think we're fixing to make

312

and Pastor Mike being the good godly man he is says no I agree we have vehicles

313

a van is a nice luxury

314

but right now the church is not in the position we

315

don't need to do this we will keep on with what we're doing

316

and it was resolved and the church was happy smooth.

317

Everybody was on the same page.

318

I left and went to New Guinea and I got a letter from a friend.

319

So that same evangelist came back, held another meeting while I was gone

320

and found out the church had not gone and gone into debt and gotten the pastor a van,

321

found out what I had said in the meeting.

322

And so he stood up in the pulpit,

323

called me out by name in front of my entire congregation and reprimanded and castigated me and castigated the church for our decision.

324

It broke my heart, but it taught me a lesson.

325

Because although it broke my heart, I knew that I was right.

326

And along with knowing that I was right, I knew that I had no authority,

327

so I did not get offended because those under my authority rebuked my authority.

328

I had no authority, so therefore I had no skin in the game.

329

What I had was a conscious and the courage to stand up and say, fellas, the path you're fixing to go down, that's not a good path.

330

I think this path over here's a better path and that's the path we should go.

331

Leadership is not authority and leadership is often a very lonely path.

332

It does not require a born into ability it simply requires quiet courage

333

and enough knowledge and wisdom to know

334

that that's not a good way to go that's a better way to go

335

and I'm going to go that way

336

because it's a better way to go who wants to go with me there's no reason why you can't do

337

that at a job.

338

There's no reason why you can't do that in your family.

339

There's no reason why you can't do that in a circle of friends.

340

There's no reason why you can't do that in church.

341

There's no reason why you can't do that at any point in life.

342

You cannot be a real man if you do not have the courage and the quiet wisdom.

343

To exercise leadership with the proper heart and the proper way when leadership is required.

344

It has nothing to do with your personality.

345

It has nothing to do with your position.

346

It has nothing to do with your title.

347

It has nothing to do with anything.

348

It only has to do with your character.

349

It only has to do with your character.

350

Okay?

351

Anyhow, I hope this clarifies some things for you.

352

I hope it helps somebody.

353

And why not? Be logical. Be reasonable. Be safe. Have fun. And exercise true leadership.

354

I will catch you guys next time.

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.
