1
This whole aspect of the lungs and how they're built
2
and how they have a whole architecture of receiving and really dealing with what comes their way,
3
this is a part I think of achievement we sometimes do not notice or do not have in our mind.
4
What I think of now sometimes, what I didn't understand back then was an advice my grandma often gave me.
5
She said when I was being very eager, going like to get something, you know, but tense maybe she would say a dolce dolce mousie, which was like soft, soft.
6
And back then I always thought it's like this relax, you know, and when you're kind of like tensed up, that's not a great advice to get, because you usually don't relax then.
7
But when I read about the lungs, I realized I think she meant something entirely different.
8
It was that, you know, life can be hard, challenges can be tough.
9
And if we just tense up and reaction towards that, energy doesn't suffice.
10
We really need sometimes to use softness to go all the way all the way
11
and now when I have a very stressful day earlier I would have clenched up
12
and put my muscles into like attack mode
13
and my jaw would maybe get a bit tense too
14
but nowadays in between like meetings or something I would go really soft
15
and just really relax and then I realize oh this is a way
16
that really makes my energy work for me
17
and this is how I can go through a long hectic day way better than just tensing up
18
so softness is actually a really important counterpart in, you know, going the extra mile, getting the things you want, softening up in between.

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.
