8
So now that some times passed, I have the luxury of examining my lessons learned.
9
And of all of them, the most important is the realization that perfection Perfection is a myth.
10
And not only a myth, but it's deceitful.
11
It's detrimental to success.
12
See, perfection is, by its very definition, flawless.
13
And in theory, that's ideal.
14
That's what we want.
15
But in reality, it's impossible.

Our value lies not in chasing around this false idea of perfection, but in making progress.

You create buildings.
34
You design roads.
35
And everything converges to become a city.
36
Those sequences of events, trials and errors, growth, that becomes your roam.
37

56
But you need to first allow yourself to take that leap.

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。
