1
One of the most common questions I receive is improvement pill.
2
I don't know what I want to do in life.
3
How can I find my passion?
4
And that's a pretty important question.
5
So in today's video, I'm going to show you exactly how to do just that.
6
This episode was brought to you with the help of the guys at Skillshare.com.

8
Now before we get started,
9
I want to debunk something.
10
A lot of us are under the assumption
11
that there's only one thing out there that can be our passion
12
that it's predetermined by birth and that all we have to do is find it.
13
But that's not how it works.
14
The truth of the matter is that there's probably many,
15
many things that could potentially be your passion.
16
In fact, it's entirely possible to have more than one passion.
17
If you take a look at a lot of very successful people,
18
you'll find that this is generally the case.
19
For example, Tim Ferriss is a well-known author and speaker.
20
But did you know that he was also a competitive dancer, wrestler and investor?
21
There's only two things you need to do in order for you to discover one of your passions.
22
The first is that you must change where you get your dopamine from.
23
Dopamine is the chemical that is released by our brain that motivates us to do things.
24
Without it, you will literally starve to death even if there was food right in front of you.
25
The release of dopamine is also accompanied by pleasure.
26
The problem nowadays is that dopamine is very easy to get.
27
It's cheap and it's abundant everywhere.
28
Back in the day we had to do stuff in order to get
29
that dopamine and most of the time that meant creating something.
30
You had to build a house,
31
you had to create a nice piece of pottery,
32
you had to go out and tend to your crops.
33
While you worked on these tasks you were flooded with dopamine and you felt good about the whole process.
34
If you followed this route you'd naturally become passionate about whatever it is that you did.
35
But nowadays it's a little bit different.
36
We can now flood our brain with dopamine without having to do much at all.
37
You can surf the web,
38
you can binge watch some TV shows,
39
you can order amazing foods for your front door almost instantaneously.
40
And methods like this have become the main sources of dopamine for the majority of people.
41
Now what's different about these sources of dopamine as compared to the ones we used to get it from?
42
Well these are forms of consumption.
43
And the ones we used to use are forms of creation.
44
And this is a very important distinction.
45
In order for something to be your passion,
46
it must stem from creation.
47
If you get the majority of your dopamine from a form of consumption,
48
do you know what we call that?
49
We call that an addiction.
50
You're addicted to watching TV,
51
you're addicted to smoking cigarettes,
52
you're addicted to eating junk food.
53
But on the other hand,
54
if we get the majority of our dopamine from a form of creation,
55
that's called the passion.
56
You're passionate about drawing, you're passionate about dancing, you're passionate about farming.
57
So the first
58
and most important thing you have to do in order to find your passion is to turn back your consumption valve.
59
Watch less TV, play less video games, eat less junk food.
60
When you turn back your consumption valve,
61
you force yourself to start looking for dopamine from forms of creation.
62
This is crucial for our next step.
63
The second thing you have to do in order to find
64
your passion is to simply expose yourself to a variety of different forms of creation.
65
To give yourself a chance to get dopamine from these sources instead of forms of consumption.
66
Now there's no fancy trick to finding these things,
67
you just gotta approach it the old-fashioned way by trying things out.
68
So what I suggest you to do after successfully completing step number one is to search up a list of hobbies.
69
Literally go on Google and type in list of hobbies Wikipedia.
70
Look through the list and if you see anything that seems even remotely interesting or fun,
71
write it down.
72
Create a list.
73
Then all you have to do is take this list and ask yourself Which thing would I like to try out first?
74
You should only try out one of these hobbies at a
75
time You must give yourself enough time to see whether
76
or not you can make this hobby into a passion
77
if you've successfully Followed our first step
78
which is to drastically tone down the amount of dopamine you get from forms of consumption What happens next should be automatic?
79
Let's say you picked photography as something you might be interested in
80
if you followed our first step correctly You'll naturally do some research on photography.
81
You'll look up some videos you'll start playing around with a cheap camera
82
or your phone and after a while you'll know whether or not you actually like this hobby.
83
All of this is fueled by the dopamine
84
that you are no longer getting from forms of consumption because you are now getting it from a form of creation.
85
And let's say you don't find yourself interested in photography,
86
all you have to do is move on to the second thing on your list.
87
And if that doesn't work out either,
88
try the third thing and so on and so on.
89
And if you continue to find yourself not interested in anything,
90
then chances are you're not following the first step properly.
91
You have to turn down the amount of dopamine you get from forms of consumption even more.
92
Now I know this sounds overly simplistic,
93
but finding a passion isn't as hard as people make it seem.
94
Honestly, all you have to do is tone down the amount of dopamine you're getting from sources of consumption
95
and allow yourself to explore different forms of creation.
96
Speaking of
97
which, a great place for you to dip your feet into the water for a variety of different hobbies is Skillshare.com

102

103

推薦影片
為什麼通過這個影片練習口語?
在學習英語的過程中,口語表達能力是一個重要的方面。通過觀看影片並模仿說話者的語音、語調與節奏,學習者能夠更好地掌握語言的流利度和自然度。尤其是使用 英語影子跟讀(shadowspeak)的技巧,能夠幫助學習者在真實的語境中提高口語表達的自信心和準確性。這可以讓你在社交場合和日常交流中更加自如。
語法與表達在語境中
- 動詞時態的使用:影片中提到“我們必須改變多巴胺的來源”,這裡使用了現在時來傳達一個普遍真理,讓觀眾意識到這種影響是持續的。
- 條件句:說話者提到:“如果你以這種方式展開,你自然會對所做的事情充滿熱情。”這個結構有效地展示了因果關係,幫助學習者理解如何使用條件句來表達可能性。
- 對比結構:說話者提到“消費形式”和“創造形式”,此對比清晰地強調了兩個概念之間的差異,有助於學習者更好地理解相關詞彙的使用。
常見的發音陷阱
在影片中,有一些易混淆的發音值得注意:
- 多巴胺(dopamine):這個詞的正確發音是 /ˈdoʊ.pəˌmiːn/,學習者要特別注意重音位置。
- 消費(consume):發音為 /kənˈsjuːm/,注意母音的正確發音,尤其是在重音所在。
- 創造(create):這個詞的發音是 /kriˈeɪt/,注意“cr”的發音要清晰,避免模糊音。
通過鍛鍊這些發音和語法結構,學習者能夠更有效地進行 shadowspeaks 或 shadow speak 的練習,提高自身的口語能力。利用這種方法,學習者不僅能夠提升英語水平,還能夠在實際交際中表現得更加自然流暢。
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 |
|---|---|
| 條件句 if + 從句,will/would + 動詞 — 條件及其結果 | If you followed this route you'd naturally |
| “used to” used to + 動詞 — 過去的習慣或狀態,現在已不再如此 | used to get · used to use |
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼,而不是誰做的 | was brought · is released · is also accompanied |
| 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 | have become · I've been |
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。
