Good morning.

Dwayne here, Dry Creek Wrangler School.

Sitting here in a tack shed today and got a fire back in the wood stove.

You'd think it's May 5th.

You'd think those days would be about over, but they're not.

It's chilly out there this morning.

There's a strong wind blowing.

So I'm going to sit in here next to the fire and have me some coffee and have a cigar.

This is a Perdomo lot number 23.

That's the lead Nicaragua.

I've never had one before, but one of the students this week, we just finished up our first week of class for the year, and one of the students brought some cigars and he gave me a couple of these,

and I'm really liking them.

If you were to ask me, Dwayne, name one thing that has helped make you a better horseman?

I would have to say one of the things is regret.

Regret.

Dwayne, what is one of the things that has made you a better human being to your fellow man?

There's a lot of things.

But one of the things I'd have to say is regret.

You know, I look back at horses I had 20, 25 years ago when I didn't know anything and I didn't have the temperament that I have today.

And I look back and I got this horse and I remember where this horse was.

And I remember, however unintentionally,

however non-maliciously, I remember to where I took that horse.

And I look back at that today and there's a tinge of regret.

I did not put that horse on the best path possible.

Not deliberately, but just out of ignorance and youth and impatience.

And I regret that.

The definition of regret is a disappointment or a sadness over something that you've done in the past.

Basically, that's the definition.

I look back over the years.

And, you know, so I just turned 57.

and you know so there's enough years now to look back at

and I look at relationships I've had friends and and a family

and you know everything and and I look at how I responded to this person

and how I reacted to this person and what I did with this person and and I have regrets

I wished I hadn't done that wish that hadn't turned out that way

there's a trend going on at least in this country maybe

in other countries i don't know today with this self-help movement

where people say no regrets no regrets well let me let me tell you okay

if we were sitting out here some of us sitting around

the fire like we do every week at the school and everybody just talking and telling stories and catching up and just,

and you're one of those people you speak up and say, I have no regrets in my life because everything that happened in the past made me who I am today.

I wouldn't say anything.

I wouldn't step in and say anything, but I'm going to just let you know right now, you would be placed in a book inside of me.

Your name would be written down a book of a person

that I will never respect and that I will surely never trust.

Regret is not about us.

Now stop and listen to me, okay?

Regret is not about you.

Regret is a safety mechanism for those around us.

If we feel regret for how we hurt somebody else based on decisions that we made,

we are less likely to hurt them again in the same way.

We are less likely to hurt somebody else in the same way that we hurt that person.

We are less likely to make the same approach to our horse.

We saw it didn't work.

We saw that it didn't put them on a good path.

And we're like, man, I wish I had done that different.

That's regret.

If you go through life with an attitude of no regrets for anything I've done in life,

that is the attitude of a sociopath or a psychopath,

someone who has no empathy for other life around them, be it man or animal.

And so we need, we need to embrace our regrets.

I know that's very against the grain.

That's very swimming upstream against attitudes and philosophies today.

I don't care.

People who say I have no regrets in life,

they end up being the most arrogant people because the regrets that you have are regret for what you

intentionally or unintentionally caused somebody else.

Your regret's not about you.

I regret that I hurt that person.

I was young.

I was ignorant.

I didn't know how to, um, I didn't know how to go through some of this, this new adulting thing.

I didn't know how to handle it.

And so I handled it like this.

And I look back now from a place of experience and a place of maturity and a place of sadness.

And I look back and I say, I wish I had been wiser.

I wish I had been gentler.

I wish I had been more experienced.

I wish I had not hurt that person that way.

However unintentional it was.

We need regrets.

Okay.

And And I'm going to give my, well, this is all my opinion.

I'm going to give my opinion here.

I think a lot of these,

especially men out there who are motivators for young men,

I think they're borderline psychopaths psychopaths.

I think some of them are borderline sociopaths.

And my understanding is the difference between a sociopath and a psychopath.

A sociopath is made that way by society and a psychopath is born that way.

I don't know.

I'm not educated like that.

But people who are, I'm so much about me, I have no empathy for you.

I don't care about you.

And they push this, especially in young men, like you've been hurt, you know,

you've been hurt from your dating life and been hurt by women and hurt by relationships and hurt by jobs.

You need to just think about yourself

and you just need to go through life like a big giant hammer smashing through glass

100

and the devil take the hindmost

101

and they just will put a bullet in your head

102

and let you die like a dog

103

because all you're going to become is a snapping dog that's going to snap at anybody.

104

You don't know if they're reaching out to pet you or smack you, but you go through life a person that's just snapping, just a snapping dog.

105

And you're not fit for society if you become that, if you let them turn you into that.

106

I can do whatever I want, and if it makes me better, I have no regrets.

107

Well, it's not about you.

108

What are you doing to those in your life around you?

109

What kind of tailspin are you sending their life into?

110

You hate what people have done to you.

111

You hate what people have turned you into.

112

Are you going to let that hate of them turn you into the same thing?

113

someone who has no empathy, someone who has no regret, someone who looks back at poor decisions without any tinge of regret,

114

of disappointment in what you accomplished, of sorrow.

115

You can't do that.

116

A man, a man regrets poor choices.

117

A rock doesn't.

118

And by rock, I don't mean this metaphor.

119

I mean a stinking stone.

120

I mean an actual stinking stone on the ground, a block of wood.

121

Okay.

122

An inanimate, unliving, unthinking, unfeeling object doesn't feel anything, does not feel empathy, does not feel regret.

123

It's just this nonsense, this nonsense on the Internet today that's being spewed out,

124

that it's all about you.

125

I've talked about this before.

126

You are an empty, you are an empty, pointless, thoughtless, nothing.

127

If your life and your feelings and your view of the past is only seen through the periscope of you,

128

of you, And that's where this whole no regrets come in.

129

You dang sure better have regrets or you ain't going to be worth a hill of beans as a human being.

130

Okay?

131

You cannot grow.

132

You cannot mature.

133

You cannot get better.

134

You can't become anything of value to yourself or to anyone else if you shut the door to regrets.

135

Now, you don't let regrets drag you down.

136

You don't let them destroy you.

137

All right, I've talked about this before.

138

You don't let the man that you used to be destroy the man

139

that you are today or the man that you're trying to be today.

140

All right.

141

But balanced regret is what helps you become a better man.

142

Unbalanced guilt is what destroys you.

143

So, unbalanced guilt of who you were and what you were in the past or today destroys you.

144

Balanced, open-eyed, thoughtful regret of poor decisions you made in the past is what helps you build

145

and become better and become stronger.

146

That is that check valve that helps you not make that decision again.

147

that helps you not lose your temper of that horse again, that helps you not thoughtlessly,

148

cruelly hurt that person again, that helps you not selfishly do whatever, okay?

149

Regret, balanced regret is necessary.

150

Unbalanced guilt will destroy you.

151

That's not what I'm talking about.

152

Okay?

153

The more, listen, listen, the more you grow,

154

the more you mature, the less self-centered you are,

155

the more things you will see in the past. that you will regret.

156

If you have no regrets, you have no growth.

157

You have no growth.

158

And you say, Duane, I'm looking back and I'm seeing more and more things in my life that I'm like, man, I'm kind of embarrassed.

159

I'm kind of sad.

160

I wish I hadn't done it. That means you're growing.

161

That means you're seeing more things, that this is not good behavior.

162

This is not how a good human being acts.

163

This is not how we treat other people.

164

This is not how we treat animals.

165

This is not how we behave like this.

166

And you didn't feel regret about it before because you hadn't grown enough to realize that that was like really cheap,

167

really low, very selfish, very arrogant behavior.

168

The humbler you get, the humbler you get, The more you understand, the more you understand, the more you regret.

169

But at the same time, you keep that balance.

170

You're like, man, I wish I hadn't done it.

171

I wish I knew better back then.

172

That's healthy.

173

There's nothing wrong with that. But you keep controlling.

174

You say, but I'm not back there now.

175

And I'm not going to do that anymore.

176

And that's the person I was, but that's not the person who I am today.

177

And so you don't let crushing guilt destroy you,

178

but you don't let a lack of regret destroy you on the other end of the spectrum.

179

Okay.

180

So I just, this, this subject,

181

this thought has been on my mind for a long time now. and uh

182

so i just i felt you know it was time it

183

was time to address this okay uh it was time to uh

184

kind of sit down

185

and say hey let's let's take a look at this this attitude this um this self view

186

that so many people are taking up today that is so arrogant and so self-centered and so destructive.

187

Okay?

188

All right.

189

So anyhow, I hope that maybe clarified a little bit, helped you a little bit, opened your eyes a little bit.

190

And so, and I hope the wind dies down out here and we can get a little bit done outside.

191

So we just finished.

192

Today is May 5th, I think.

193

Yes, May 5th.

194

So this week we finished our very first week of class for this year.

195

And today's the 5th.

196

It's Sunday.

197

tomorrow we have this next week's class.

198

They start rolling in and so we begin the second week.

199

We're looking forward to it

200

and we will keep you guys up to date as we go along with the school

201

and then when we get next year, we haven't even started for next year booking or anything,

202

but when we get that ferried out and hammered out with schedule and everything, we'll let you know.

203

We'll get it up on the website.

204

Okay?

205

Until then, be logical. Be reasonable. Be safe. Have fun. And be humble. And be humble.

206

When You Just Ain’t Got it All Together

TeensUniversity Students

真實場景：穀倉裡的人生感悟

影片中，一位經驗豐富的馴馬師坐在穀倉裡，一邊烤火一邊分享人生體會。他談及自己20多年前因無知和急躁對待馬匹的經歷，也提到與親友相處時的遺憾。這樣的場景如同日常對話，充滿口語化表達，是練習shadow speech的絕佳素材——你能從中聽到自然的停頓、情感的起伏，以及真實生活中的用詞習慣。

實用表達與搭配

a tinge of regret：一絲遺憾（描述情感的精準表達）
out of ignorance：出於無知（說明行為原因的常用短語）
self-help movement：自助運動（社會現象類詞彙）
safety mechanism：安全機制（比喻用法，形象生動）
catch up：敘舊（日常對話中高頻出現）

你的影子跟讀挑戰

開啟影片，找到“Regret is not about us”這段內容。先完整聽3遍，注意說話人的語氣變化——提到“遺憾”時的沉重，反駁“無憾論”時的堅定。然後開始shadowing練習：播放一句，暫停，立刻跟讀，模仿每個單詞的發音、節奏甚至氣息。重點關注“temperament”“unintentionally”等長單詞的連讀。完成後，用手機錄下自己的跟讀版本，對比原音，看看是否抓住了情感細節。想要更系統練習，可搜尋專業的shadowing site，找到類似生活化對話素材，堅持每天10分鐘，你的口語流暢度會明顯提升。

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	I've never had · has helped · has made
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的	would be placed · would be written · is made
定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物	someone who has · People who say · people who are

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。
