Did the color of your fire change?

Oh, absolutely.

I'm just, you know, During the-- first of all, nothing was better.

Nothing was better, nor will ever replace or should the years of the Oprah show.

There will never be a time like that again.

for me and I think for all the team members.

I mean, the...

And that's what I mean by the velocity and the intensity.

And I can speak to that because I know

that So many things happened at such an intense rate that I don't remember half of it.

I don't remember.

Because we were just sitting around the table the other night talking with the crew, and they were saying, "This story and this story." I go, "I don't remember that.

I don't remember that." Because I was just going at such full speed.

Yeah.

And so now, what I have is great, pure satisfaction from every conversation.

So I'm not going from this conversation to the next conversation, the next conversation.

I'm not trying to fill, you know, 200 shows a year.

I'm not trying to.

you know, prove anything.

First of all, neither you nor I have anything left to prove.

Right.

We've done it.

We've reached the pinnacle of success and achieved and all of that. So everything

that I do now is basically an offering to help other people see their lives in a more meaningful way

and what to make of their lives.

That's what it's all for for me.

Yeah.

And I think that's because when the fire changes color, and you are at this different phase, then these amazing things happen late.

And this notion that somehow we have this peak when we're young, And then it goes like this.

Well, that's the thing I was saying.

No matter where you all are in your life, this book is going to be so valuable to you because I'm so shocked at the number of people

who've done extraordinary things.

To read that Meryl Streep, most of her Academy Award nominations came after age 60.

Yeah, she did so many of them.

She was...

I mean, talk about somebody who's encoded.

Yes.

And has been...

in frame doing this for so many years.

And that was a place with her story.

I watched every one of her films in sequence, which was very interesting.

Well, as I was reading about her films, I was thinking, gosh, you know what?

I'm going to have myself a Meryl Streep Festival.

You should.

Absolutely.

I'm going to have myself a Meryl Streep Festival and watch all of those movies.

That's right.

And you see the evolution.

You can see different phases of life.

playing different roles.

But what's so interesting is, I mean, she has more Oscar nominations than anybody.

Anybody.

I like a factor of two.

Yes.

And they don't stack early.

They're spread throughout, and she has about half of them.

Her first one was age 29.

That's right.

And then she gets all the way out into her 60s, and she has as many nominations in her 60s as when she was in her...

in her younger years per decade, is amazing.

And the fire hasn't gone out.

You can just see that it just gets out.

Yeah, we're just waiting for Devil Wears product.

Yeah.

Okay, so I found this to be a seminal question that you posed on page 99.

Stop and think for a moment.

You say, "What is the relationship between work and money?" I love this.

Y 'all are going to love this.

Is the purpose of work to make money or is the purpose of money to be able to do one's work?

That's right.

Well, that depends on how we define and think about work.

I think people get really caught up in the money thing.

How do you flip the arrow of money, as you say?

Yeah.

So that was a...

Like a really critical thing for me to see was that it wasn't about just the economics.

It was about What direction the arrow goes?

And there's so many different people that illustrate this in the study.

But, you know, I think about Maurice White, the founder of Earth, Wind & Fire, you know, and he's doing One meal a day They cost a dollar.

So a dollar a day, a meal a day, while he's getting his music going to eventually get to do Earth, Wind & Fire.

And he didn't do music to make money, but he needed money to do music.

Right.

- Right.

- And so he had to do the gigs, and he had to put things in place.

But then later, when "Earth, Wind & Fire" was really going, it was really interesting.

He would do these albums with the band, But then he always took the money from that and put it back into doing more music and more spectacular performances.

Oh, my goodness.

Some of those performances.

Do you remember?

I do.

And then putting it right back in and then those would generate economics to do more. And so,

It's like if you understand that Money is fuel to do what you're encoded for

that feeds the fire rather than the point is to make money.

The problem is if the point is to make money, and then you make money, what do you do next?

If the point is, as we were talking earlier, we don't need to do any of this for money.

But if that's not the point anyways, you never want to stop.

Yeah. Because...

But I will have to say, even in the years of The Oprah Show, when I first started doing that show, if they had told me, "You were not gonna make any money doing this show," I would have done it.

That's right.

100

one of the most important moments in my life was doing "The Color Purple." I did that for $35 ,000.

101

And I remember when my lawyer was saying, "I'm going to ask them for 50," and I go, "No, don't ask them for 50.

102

I'll do it for 35." I've never actually made.. any decision based on money.

103

I've never done anything for the purpose of making money.

104

And actually, can I spend just a moment on this?

105

Because we have some people in our study like Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin, who just went on with his singing, doing amazing things late in life.

106

And he turned down the opportunity to do probably the first billion -dollar reunion tour with Zeppelin.

107

And he decided not to do it.

108

And people say, yeah, but that's easy because he's already wealthy.

109

And what I want people to understand is that Robert Plant's circumstances changed.

110

But the reason he did what he did was always the same.

111

So he started out without money.

112

then ended up with a lot of money, but his motivation was always the same, which was to sing.

113

And so I'm curious if that's true for you, that the motivation has always been the same.

114

It's just the circumstances are different.

115

Exactly.

116

And the fact that I was encoded to do that talk show, I was encoded to do that,

117

is what allowed me to be so successful at it.

118

It was as natural as breathing to me.

119

I was the most comfortable in the most in front of an audience.

120

Okay.

121

I want to talk about this because so many of you are going to be able to relate to this.

122

And Jim talks about in What to Make of a Life the competence doom loop i've seen this

123

so many times during my working career

124

and you write on page 111 one of the great traps of life and see

125

if this is you one of the great traps of life

126

is the curse of the competence doom loop it goes like this you become reasonably competent at something

127

that doesn't capture your encodings or ignite the inner fire but it pays you well work hard

128

leads to increased opportunities to do even more of what does not fit your encodings or ignite the inner fire, and you're getting paid even more to do it.

129

That's the loop that so many people are in that can't get themselves out.

130

I actually have a lot of compassion for how that happens because They may have family responsibilities.

131

That's right.

132

They may have a need to provide for others.

133

There may be reasons for that.

134

And so it's not like it's a defect, but once you get trapped in it, it's really hard to get out of it because you just get better and better paid at doing something you're not encoded.

135

That you don't even like.

136

Yeah.

137

And one day you wake up to discover that years or decades have passed.

138

You're well paid.

139

and out of frame.

140

The inner fire is still there, but gradually going dormant.

FOR YOU

本課程概述

在這一課中，學習者將通過訪談的音訊練習他們的口說能力。通過觀看YouTube影片，學習如何有效地表達自己的生活理念與目的。此外，我們將著重於如何在快速的對話中掌握重點，提升語言流利度。此課程特別適合那些希望加強雅思口語練習的學習者，可以通過shadowspeaks方法提升自己的TIM（語言翻譯心智模型）。

關鍵詞彙與短語

火焰的顏色 (The color of your fire)
滿足感 (Pure satisfaction)
證明自己 (Prove anything)
人生的意義 (Meaningful way of life)
巔峰 (Pinnacle of success)
角色的演變 (Evolution of roles)
精彩的故事 (Extraordinary things)
生活的階段 (Different phases of life)

練習技巧

進行shadow speak練習時，重點在於聽的同時模仿。由於影片中的對話速度相對較快，建議學習者可以多次重複播放來適應語速。以下是一些具體的建議：

在觀看影片時，先專注於聽，理解對話的內容和情感。
然後，暫停影片，重複每一句話，確保你能跟上語速。你可以說，"這故事和這故事"來練習使用短語。
把重點放在吐字清晰和語調的緊湊上，模仿講者的情感表達，這有助於你在雅思口語練習中表現得更自然。
隨著練習的進行，可以逐步降低影片的音量，讓自己在沒有提示的情況下持續說話。

透過這些方法，學習者將能在通過看YouTube學英語時，持續提升他們的口說技巧，增強聽說能力。

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：

結構	影片中的用法
現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事	We've done · We've reached · who've done
定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物	sequence, which was · same, which was

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
