1
Regret.
2
It's one of our most common emotions, but also one of our most misunderstood.
3
We think that the path to a good life is to ignore our regrets, to always look forward and never look back, to always be positive and never be negative.
4
And that is a mistake.
5
We have a rich body of science telling us that if we approach our regrets in the right way, we can enlist them to work smarter, and live better.
6
In this video, I'm going to show you the four universal regrets that people all over the world have.
7
And I'm going to show you how to learn from them.
8
A few years ago, I created something called the World Regret Project, where I asked people all over the world to share with me one of their big regrets.
9
We now have a database of more than 26 ,000 regrets from people in 134 countries.
10
And what's amazing about these regrets is that around the world, people seem to have the same four core regrets.
11
First category, Foundation regrets.
12
These are small decisions that people make early in life, no single one of which is deadly or cataclysmic, but they'd accumulate to negative consequences later on.
13
Classic example: I spent too much and saved too little, and now I'm broke.
14
Foundation regrets sound like this: If only I'd done the work.
15
Second category: Boldness regrets.
16
You're at a juncture in your life.
17
You have two choices: You can play it safe, or you can take the chance.
18
and overwhelmingly People regret not taking the chance.
19
And it doesn't matter what the domain of life is.
20
It could be asking somebody out on a date.
21
It could be starting a business.
22
It could be traveling.
23
What sticks with us over time are the inactions, the lack of boldness.
24
Boldness regrets sound like this: "If only I'd taken the chance."
25
regret doing the wrong thing because most of us are good
26
and most of us want to be good it could be
27
bullying it could be extramarital affairs it could be lying
28
when we do the wrong thing it sticks with us moral regrets if only i'd done the right thing
29
Final category, connection regrets.
30
These are about relationships and not only about romantic relationships but about the full suite of relationships in our lives.
31
You have a relationship that was intact or should have been intact, but it comes apart.
32
and it often comes apart in deeply undramatic ways.
33
It doesn't explode, It just drifts apart.
34
You want to reach out, but you don't because it's going to be awkward.
35
You want to reach out, but you think the other side's not going to care.
36
So you wait, and the drift widens.
37
Almost always a mistake.
38
Connection regrets sound like this: "If only I'd reached out." So around the world, people have the same four core regrets, foundation regrets.
39
If only I'd done the work.
40
Boldness regrets.
41
If only I'd taken the chance.
42
Moral regrets.
43
If only I'd done the right thing.
44
And connection regrets.
45
If only I'd reached out.
46
These regrets are instructive.
47
And one of the things I learned as a researcher is that when people tell you what they regret the most, they're telling you what they value the most.
48
And these four universal regrets are telling you, telling all of us, what we value in life.
49
They're giving us the path to a good life.
50
Let's go to another area here.
51
What do you do with your regrets?
52
All of us have regrets.
53
How do you turn them into an engine of progress?
54
I have a three -step process for doing that.
55
The three -step process is this.
56
Inward, outward, forward.
57
First step when you have a regret is how you treat yourself.
58
When we make mistakes, when we have screw -ups, when we have regrets, the way we talk to ourselves is cruel.
59
We think that being that mean -spirited toward ourselves is going to improve our performance, and that's not true.
60
So the first step in dealing with a regret is to treat yourself with kindness rather than contempt.
61
Don't treat yourself better than anybody else.
62
but don't treat yourself worse than anybody else.
63
A lot of the times the way we talk to ourselves, we would never talk to anybody else that way.
64
Recognize that your regrets are part of the human condition, and recognize that your regret is a moment in your life not the full measure of your life.
65
Step two: outward.
66
There is a strong argument in the research for writing about your regret, talking about your regret.
67
We fear that if we talk about our regrets with other people, or we talk about our mistakes or setbacks, that people will think less of us.
68
But there's some very good evidence that's wrong, that people often think more of us.
69
They admire our courage, they admire our candor.
70
So that's one reason to talk about your regrets, to write about your regrets.
71
The other reason is that when we express our regrets, it's shoulder.
72
A final reason that this outward expression of regrets is valuable is that negative emotions are blobby, they're amorphous.
73
They sit up there like a vapor.
74
When you write about your regret or talk about your regret, you take this vaporous, abstract thing and you turn it into concrete words that's less menacing.
75
So, final step: forward.
76
How do you use your regret to move forward?
77
You have to be very systematic and explicit about this.
78
Think about your regret and ask yourself these two questions: What lesson is this teaching me
79
and what am I going to do next?
80
Extract a lesson from the regret and then take that lesson and say, what is my next move going to be?
81
When we do that, this negative emotion can be a positive force, because looking backward can move us forward.

推薦影片
為什麼要通過這個影片進行口語練習?
練習口語是一種極為有效的學習英語的方法,而通過這段影片進行英語影子跟讀(shadow speak)練習,更是能夠幫助你在多個方面提升語言能力。影片中提到的四種普遍遺憾,不僅引發了廣泛思考,還提供了一個非常生動的交流背景。通過模仿演講者的語調和節奏,學習者能夠內部化這些表達方式,提高自己的口語流利度和自信心。此外,此類影片的內容引人入勝,有助於激發學習興趣,讓學習過程更加愉快。
語法與表達的上下文
在影片中,演講者使用了多個有效的語法結構和表達方式,以下是其中的幾個關鍵點:
- 假設語氣:例如,演講者使用了“如果我做了……”,這種結構可以幫助學習者在表達假設和願望時更加自如。
- 過去完成時:在講述遺憾時,使用過去完成時(如“如果我曾經……”)能夠有效傳遞對往事的感慨。
- 對比結構:通過對比不同選擇的結果,演講者突出了選擇的重要性,如“我可以……,也可以……”。這種結構幫助學習者理解和表達選擇的複雜性。
- 感嘆句:如“多麼希望我能……”,這些用法能夠增加口語表達的情感色彩,增強與聽者的共鳴。
常見的發音陷阱
在這段影片中,有幾個詞彙和語調可能會對學習者構成挑戰:
- Regret(遺憾):這個單詞的發音容易出錯,注意重音落在第二個音節上,發音時要清晰。
- Connection(聯絡):這個詞有時會被髮音為“conn-EX-tion”,而正確應為“conn-EK-tion”,確保連結清晰可辨。
- Bullied(欺負):練習這個詞時要注意母音的發音,避免發成“billed”,加深對聲音的掌控。
通過進行英語影子跟讀(shadowspeak)練習,學習者不僅能夠改善發音,還能夠更自然地使用語法結構,從而提升整體的口語能力。將這些技巧融入日常練習中,將幫助你更自信地與他人交流。
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。
