2
and thank you for being here on video i think you're
3
going to enjoy what we're going to talk about for time
4
immemorial going back to several hundred years before christ the greatest
5
minds of all time have focused on answering the question why is it
6
that some people are more successful than others all the work
7
of socrates was around the subject how shall we live in
8
order to be happy what are the keys to wisdom
9
and goodness in life plato also wrote about the same subject how should live how should we organize our lives
10
and our families and our societies aristotle and all throughout history the great philosophers
11
and metaphysicians and mystics the great religious teachers and preachers
12
and the best writers have all looked at this question what
13
can we do in order to be happy to be more successful to have more of the things
14
that we want would you like to be financially independent you
15
say of course would you like to be financially independent yes
16
why aren't you why aren't you financially independent you're making one
17
of the best livings in the history of the world living
18
in the richest country in the history of the world why aren't you a little bit financially independent
19
and you know what you say well i can't my bills
20
are too high my taxes are too high my costs are too high my this my
21
that my the fact of the matter is there are people who come over here with nothing from foreign countries
22
and save every single thing that they make
23
and live on half of their income
24
and 10 years later working at laboring jobs they've got 20 50 100 people working for them
25
and they're financially independent why it's
26
because they had no limitation our limitations exist within our own minds
27
and the worst of all is we feel helpless second reason
28
why people stay where they are illustrated by the story of speedy the rat
29
speedy the rat is put into a cage
30
and off the cage there are four tunnels and speedy is kept hungry
31
and in the mouth of the fourth tunnel down here a
32
little bit of cheese is put speedy is dropped into the cage
33
and speedy is hungry smells cheese around here somewhere
34
so starts doing a search searches around a little bit tries
35
the first tunnel second tunnel third tunnel finds the cheese at the fourth tunnel eats the cheese
36
and is happy take speedy out keep him out for 24
37
hours he's hungry again put him back in mouth his cheese is in the mouth of the fourth tunnel
38
and speedy goes a little bit familiar he does a search
39
process comes to the first tunnel second tunnel third time there's the cheese in the fourth tunnel by the third
40
or fourth day you can put speedy in the cage
41
and he'll go right to the fourth tunnel
42
and get the cheese once speedy conditioned they take the cheese
43
and they move halfway back this tunnel about three feet deep
44
with the tunnel by which i mean about three feet or three inches around
45
and speedy comes running in rushes to the fourth tunnel no cheese looks around backs up counts
46
goes
47
and explores sniff sniff sniff sniff sniff sniff sniff sniff sniff
48
sniff sniff smells smells cheese net fourth tunnel finally explores
49
and finds the cheese well in a couple of days speediest
50
condition to drop into the cage go straight to the fourth tunnel halfway back
51
and get the cheese and
52
so then they move the cheese to the back of the fourth tunnel
53
and of course in no time at all speediest condition go choo choo
54
and get the cheese then they take the cheese
55
and move it to the back of the second tunnel but there's no cheese at the end of the fourth tunnel
56
and we'll begin exploring the other tunnels
57
and we'll eventually find it at the end of the second tunnel
58
but human beings with this incredible brain will keep going down
59
the fourth tunnel forever they will keep doing what they've always done they will get into a rut
60
which we call a comfort zone they will set a series of habits
61
that are not serving their best interests
62
and they will keep on with those habits and they'll keep doing things
63
that no longer make them happy that no longer give them any cheese
64
and they will keep doing them year after year and we find
65
that almost everybody today all of us too consciously
66
and unconsciously is held by these twin pillars these twin bindings of helplessness on the one hand
67
and habit on the other is
68
that we try to free ourselves from uh feeling helpless
69
and we fall right into an old comfort zone where we
70
get out of the comfort zone we get right back into feeling helpless the only way
71
that we can achieve our true destiny is to break the shackles
72
that are holding us and the answers to both of them are confidence
73
and courage courage
74
and confidence the greatest single limitation on success in america in the world today is lack of confidence it's not
75
that we can't do it we have capacities and abilities beyond anything
76
that we have ever thought of in our whole life you know
77
if you used your talents to the full for the rest
78
of your life you would never even use a fraction of
79
what you're actually capable of based on all the research that's
80
been done we are right now functioning according to stanford brain
81
institute with about two percent of our brain power two percent
82
the rest of this huge this huge reserve of brain power
83
which we're kind of keeping there in case we ever need a little you know we got
84
so much of it it's unbelievable well
85
so i said to myself what is what is the key here
86
and you know what there's a common denominator of helplessness
87
and habit and the common denominators are fear and ignorance fear
88
and ignorance we're afraid we're afraid it might not work we're
89
afraid we might fail we're afraid it might cost us something we're afraid of criticism
90
and embarrassment we're afraid of failure and loss and limitation
91
and lack and ill health and disapproval we're so afraid the things
92
that we would do if we weren't afraid are literally beyond belief
93
and we're afraid of getting out of the comfort some but
94
because of what they might say what
95
if we did something different change jobs change careers started a
96
business got into something else what would they say do you
97
know i was listening to a psychologist talking the other day
98
he says nobody's ever been able to define who they are
99
but it's they out there it's the great almighty they that's
100
got us terrified you know it's a true statement we say
101
that when you're in your 20s you don't care what people think
102
and when you're in your 30s you're very sensitive to what people think
103
and then you get into your 40s
104
and in your 40s you realize the great truth is
105
that no one was ever thinking about you at all
106
and that's the fact nobody ever thinks about us at all
107
and there we are we're so terrified of doing what you really want to do
108
because of what they might say or think so we stay in
109
that comfort zone now all successful people are those who consciously are aware
110
that the self -doubt that holds most people back is something
111
that they are heir to as well and they're alert
112
and sensitive to it when a person says why don't you do this
113
or why don't you do that they have a tendency to say well I can't
114
because of this
115
and I can't wait a minute there's a story of a little boy goes to school for the first time
116
and the teacher says do you play a musical instrument he said I don't know I haven't tried yet
117
if you ask an adult you play a musical instrument what
118
will the adult say no I can't no never could don't
119
have him tone -deaf don't have any musical ability at all
120
you know every child has perfect pitch up to the age
121
of five to every child has the ability to play classical music up to the age of five.
122
The Suzuki musical training systems have demonstrated that.
123
You can start teaching kids classical violin at the age of three.
124
Just when they can barely move their hands, they can start to play.
125
It's phenomenal, yet most of us believe, I can't, you know, I don't have it, I can't do it.
126
Our natural tendency is to sell ourselves short.
127
Our natural tendency is to think of the reasons why we can't before we think of the reasons why we can.
128
So the key to breaking ourselves out of the comfort zone
129
and breaking ourselves loose of the shackle of helplessness is courage
130
and confidence we neutralize the antidote to fear and ignorance is desire
131
and knowledge and the more we learn about what we want to do
132
and be and have the more we believe
133
that we can do it the more we believe
134
that we can do it the more willing we are to try
135
and the more willing we are to try the more likely
136
it is we will succeed what is the first part of
137
triumph the first part of triumph is to try a little
138
simple one -liner now this is what i found what's
139
if somebody came to that elephant
140
and said mr elephant you don't have to stay here you
141
can do anything you want you're the biggest animal in the world
142
that little thing can't hold you all you have to do is pop loose
143
and you can go he said no no no i've been stuck here for years
144
and every time i'm tied up i stay here why well
145
because of this and because that's a habit you know i'm i can't
146
and i can't i wish i would i wonder whoa i'm
147
too tall i'm too short i'm male female young old educated uneducated
148
so what we say is look just try just try the very thought of trying something new
149
or different is traumatic for most people all right i'll try it all right pop
150
and the elephant thinks my god i've been tied up
151
and made to work like a slave all these years
152
and that's what's been holding me and the elephant gets mad
153
and goes looking for its owner now what do you call an elephant
154
that gets mad
155
and goes looking for its owner you call it what a
156
a rogue elephant that's right now each one of you has the capacity to be a rogue elephant
157
because you know something there's nothing holding us back except the limitations we have in our own mind
158
that elephant is in reality unstoppable and the most important goal
159
that you can develop the most important quality or characteristic
160
that you can develop for happiness
161
and success is to be unstoppable yourself is to think of yourself as unstoppable
162
and you know how you become unstoppable it's by the basic
163
psychological behavioral development principle of simply saying it to yourself
164
because whatever you say to yourself and believe over
165
and over again you start to believe as a reality you start to walk it
166
and talk it and act it
167
so what you say is i am unstoppable i'm unstoppable what
168
it is i'm unstoppable nothing will stop me the greatest of
169
all qualities to guarantee success is the absolute willingness to go at anything
170
and refuse to stop until you achieve it 95 of the goals
171
that you set for yourself you will achieve
172
if you refuse to quit starting point is just to simply
173
say i am unstoppable say it say i am unstoppable now
174
say like you mean to get your thumbs out of your mouth
175
and say it like you mean say i am unstoppable
176
once more i am unstoppable yes now from now on whenever you see a barrier
177
or wall or you think of anything you want to do
178
or be you say wait a minute here i'm unstoppable nothing stops me
179
and you know something you will develop yourself to the point where nothing does
180
cause and effect going right back to what we talked about mental attitudes
181
and personality are determined by things that we do
182
and there are certain things that you can do consistently every single day
183
and in so doing them you'll build your self -confidence up
184
and up and up to the point where you become unstoppable
185
and these are very simple things and they're practiced the most successful men
186
and women men and women who were
187
so terrified they could not lead silent prayer in a telephone booth at one time
188
and they built themselves up to the point where they're not
189
afraid of anything by working on themselves just like a weight
190
lister built up muscles you can build up character personality
191
and strength and tenacity and desire and knowledge and courage
192
and confidence by working on yourself and
193
so i'm going to give you now are the 12 key principles practice by all high achieving men
194
and women very easy to learn very easy to practice don't cost anything As a matter of fact, what I would ask is that you try them, just a little tiny bit,
195
and you'll get results out of all proportion to the efforts you put in.
196
First of all, a starting point of great accomplishment is to dream big dreams.
197
Number one, dream big dreams.
198
Let your mind float free.
199
All really exceptional men and women dream big dreams.
200
They allow their minds to float.
201
They think of what they could be and what they could do and what they really, really want.
202
Here's an exercise for you.
203
Take a piece of paper later on and right at the top, dream list.
204
then make a list of all your dreams
205
but what about this what about
206
that no decide what's right before you decide what's possible don't decide well we can't afford this
207
and we couldn't do
208
that we got stop stop stop that's helplessness that's habit that's
209
these old negative habit patterns holding you back before you even
210
decide what you want most people are figuring out why they
211
can't have it what you do is you say wait a minute
212
if i had no limitations
213
and this is the key you dream as though you had
214
no limitations nothing's holding you back imagine you have all the
215
time all the money contacts all the education influence you have everything going for you in the whole world
216
and just simply decide these are my dreams
217
and write them down project yourself into the future say where
218
do I want to be in five to ten years
219
if I could design a perfect life
220
so my life was perfect in every respect my relationships my
221
income my work my family my health my home my car
222
what would it be this is the starting point of great achievement
223
because what will happen is that if you can clearly define that target, you can hit it.
224
You eventually always hit the targets that you set for yourself, but you can't hit a target that you can't see.
225
So allow your mind to float freely.
226
Allow yourself to engage in what is called blue sky thinking.
227
Blue sky thinking means you just simply imagine you have the whole blue sky above you and no limitations, and then you write it down.
228
And then you think and ask yourself this question.
229
What one great thing would I dare to dream
230
if I knew I could not fail what one great thing would you dare to dream
231
if you knew you could not fail imagine you were absolutely guaranteed of success in any one thing big
232
or small long term or short term in the whole world what would it be
233
and write it down now
234
that doesn't make your heart pound a little bit faster than maybe somebody should nudge you with their elbow uh
235
because you're probably not alive or awake the fact is that
236
when you start dreaming big dreams you know what happens is
237
your self concept goes up your self -esteem goes up the very fact that you allow yourself to dream big dreams
238
causes you to feel better about yourself see yourself better think of yourself better
239
and it starts the process of making yourself unstoppable you become unstoppable people with big dreams
240
that are absolutely they're absolutely committed to are unstoppable human beings it's people with little dreams
241
and no hopes and no plans beyond tomorrow
242
and next week these are easy people to stop but people that have big dreams to make wonderful lives for themselves
243
they're phenomenal tell how close you are it may be near but it seems so far so stick to the fight
244
when your hardest hit it's when things seem worst
245
that you must not quit and if you don't quit and
246
if you keep on keeping on then you must you will become unstoppable yes thank you very much

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。
