1
Define success for yourself.
2
Money is king today.
3
It's what makes the world go round.
4
It is success.
5
The more we have, the more successful we are, right?
6
Our cultural values have even been financialized.
7
Humility is not in vogue anymore.
8
It's too passive.
9
It's a get-rich-quick-on-the-internet-richest 15 minutes of fame world that we live in, and we see it every day.
10
But we all want to succeed, right?
11
So the question that we've got to ask ourselves is what success is to us?
12
What success is to you?
13
Is it more money?
14
That's fine.
15
I got nothing against money.
16
Maybe it's a healthy family.
17
Maybe it's a happy marriage.
18
Maybe it's to help others, to be famous, to be spiritually sound, to leave the world a little bit better place than you found it.
19
Continue to ask yourself that question.
20
Now, your answer may change over time and that's fine.
21
But do yourself this favor.
22
Whatever your answer is, don't choose anything that will jeopardize your soul.
23
Prioritize who you are, who you want to be, and don't spend time with anything that antagonizes your character.
24
Don't drink the Kool-Aid, man.
25
It tastes sweet, but you will get cavities tomorrow.
26
All right, life is not a popularity contest.
27
Be brave, take the hill, but first answer that question, what's my hill?
28
We have to define success for ourselves, and then we have to put in the work to maintain it, tend our garden, keep the things that are important to us in good shape.
29
Process of elimination is the first step to our identity.
30
Where you are not is as important as where you are.
31
look the first step that leads to our identity in life is usually not i know who i am i
32
know who i am that's not the first step the first step is usually i know who i am not process of elimination defining ourselves by what we are not is the first step that leads us to really knowing who we are
33
You know that group of friends that you hang out with that they really might not bring out the best in you?
34
You know, they gossip too much or they're kind of shady.
35
They really aren't going to be there for you in a pinch.
36
Or how about that bar that we keep going to that we always seem to have the worst hangover from?
37
Or that computer screen, right?
38
That computer screen that keeps giving us an excuse not to get out of the house and engage with the world and get some real human interaction.
39
Or how about that food that we keep eating, the stuff that tastes so good going down, it makes us feel like crap the next week, we feel lethargic and we keep putting on weight.
40
Well, those people, those places, those things, stop giving them your time and energy.
41
Just don't go there.
42
I mean, put them down.
43
And when you do this, when you do put them down, when you quit going there and you quit giving them your time, you inadvertently find yourself spending more time and in more places that are healthy for you, that bring you more joy.
44
Why?
45
Because you just eliminated the who's, the where's, the what's and the when's that were keeping you from your identity.
46
Like trust me, too many options, I promise you, too many options will make a tyrant of us all.
47
All right, so get rid of the excess, the wasted time.
48
Decrease your options.
49
If you do this, you will have accidentally, almost innocently, put in front of you what is important to you by process of elimination.
50
Knowing who we are is hard.
51
It's hard.
52
So give yourself a break.
53
Eliminate who you are not first, and you're going to find yourself where you need to be.
54
Dissect your successes and the reciprocity of gratitude.
55
We so often focus on failure, don't we?
56
We study failure.
57
We obsess with failure.
58
We dissect failure and our failures.
59
We dissect them so much we end up intoxicated with them to the point of disillusion.
60
I mean, when do we write in our diary?
61
Usually when we're depressed.
62
What do we gossip about?
63
Other people's flaws and limitations.
64
We can dissect ourselves into self-loathing if we're not careful.
65
I find that most of the times our obsession with what is wrong just ends up breeding more wrong, more failure.
66
Now, the easiest way to dissect success is through gratitude.
67
Giving thanks for that which we do have, for what is working.
68
Appreciating the simple things we sometimes take for granted.
69
We give thanks for these things, and that gratitude reciprocates.
70
Creating more to be thankful for.
71
It's really simple, and it works.
72
Now, I'm not saying be in denial of your failures.
73
No, we can learn from them too, but only if we look at them constructively.
74
As a means to reveal what we are good at, what we can get better at, what we do succeed at.
75
Our life's a verb.
76
We try our best.
77
We don't always do our best.
78
Well, architecture is a verb as well.
79
Yes, it is.
80
And since we are the architects of our own lives, let's study the habits, the practices, the routines that we have that lead to and feed our success, our joy, our honest pain, our laughter, our earned tears.
81
Let's dissect that and give thanks for those things.
82
And when we do that, guess what happens?
83
We get better at them and we have more to dissect.
84
Make voluntary obligations.
85
All right, mom and dad, since we were young, they teach us things as children, teachers, mentors, the government, and on laws, they all give us guidelines for which to navigate this life, rules to abide by in the name of accountability.
86
I'm not talking about those obligations.
87
I'm talking about the ones that we make with ourselves, with our God, with our own consciousness.
88
I'm talking about the you versus you obligations.
89
We have to have them.
90
Now again, these are not societal laws and expectations that we acknowledge and endow for anyone other than ourselves.
91
These are faith-based obligations that we make on our own.
92
And while nobody throws you a party when you abide by them, no one's going to arrest you when you break them either, except yourself.
93
An honest man's pillow is his peace of mind.
94
And when you lay down on that pillow at night, no matter who's in your bed, we all sleep alone.
95
These are your personal Jiminy crickets, and there are not enough cops in the entire world to police them.
96
It's on you.
97
It's on you.
98
Unbelievable is the stupidest word in the dictionary.
99
Should never come out of our mouths.
100
Think about it.
101
To say, oh wow, what an unbelievable play.
102
It was an unbelievable book, an unbelievable film, an unbelievable act of courage.
103
It may be spectacular, it may be phenomenal, most excellent or outstanding.
104
But unbelievable?
105
Uh-uh.
106
Give others and yourself more credit.
107
It just happened.
108
You witnessed it.
109
You just did it.
110
Believe it.
111
What about the other side of unbelievable?
112
You know, that side when we humans underperform or act out of our best character.
113
Our best friends lie to us, and we lie to ourselves all the time.
114
Unbelievable?
115
I don't think so.
116
Again, it just happens, and it happens every day.
117
Nothing that we homo sapien earthlings do is unbelievable.
118
And if there's one thing you can depend on people being, it's people.
119
So we shouldn't be surprised.
120
We, us, are the trickiest mammals walking the planet.
121
So acknowledge the acts of greatness as real and do not be naive about mankind's capacity for evil, nor be in denial of our own shortcomings.
122
Happiness is an emotional response to an outcome.
123
If I win, I will be happy.
124
If I don't, I won't.
125
It's an if-then, cause-and-effect, quid pro quo standard that we cannot sustain because we immediately raise it every time we attain it.
126
Happiness demands a certain outcome.
127
It is result-reliant.
128
And I say if happiness is what you're after, then you're going to be let down frequently and you're going to be unhappy much of your time.
129
Joy, though.
130
Joy is a different thing.
131
It's something else.
132
Joy is not a choice.
133
It's not a response to some result.
134
It's a constant.
135
Joy is the feeling that we have from doing what we are fashioned to do, no matter the outcome.
136
See, joy is always in process.
137
It's under construction.
138
It is in constant approach, alive and well, in the doing of what we're fashioned to do and enjoying it.
139
Life is not easy.
140
It is not.
141
Don't try to make it that way.
142
Life's not fair.
143
It never was.
144
It isn't now, and it won't ever be.
145
Do not fall into the trap, the entitlement trap, of feeling like you're a victim.
146
You are not.
147
Get over it and get on with it.
148
And yes, most things are more rewarding when you break a sweat to get them.
149
Thank you.

背景与介绍
在这段由马修·麦康纳（Matthew McConaughey）发表的励志演讲中，他探讨了成功的定义及其对于生活的影响。面对当今社会金钱至上的现象，麦康纳鼓励我们重新思考个人的成功标准。他提出，成功不仅仅是财富的积累，还包括个人的健康、家庭的幸福和对他人的帮助。通过这个视频，学习者可以提升自己的英语听力和口语能力，同时加深对成功内涵的理解，探讨如何在生活中找到真正的自我。
日常交流的五个关键短语
- 定义成功：成功是个人的主观感受，不应仅以金钱为唯一标准。
- 优先考虑自我：思考自己真正想成为什么样的人。
- 排除干扰：避免那些妨碍自己成长的朋友和环境。
- 保持真实：生活中应当真实面对自己，不要过于追求流行。
- 找到你的目标：勇敢去面对生活的挑战，明确自己的追求。
逐步跟读指南
在这个演讲中，英语学习者可以通过“shadowing”技巧来提高自己的口语能力。以下是具体的步骤：
- 观看原视频：首先，观看视频，熟悉演讲的内容和语气。建议在“看YouTube学英语”时选择带字幕的版本。
- 逐句跟读：从头到尾听一次，然后选择一个段落进行逐句跟读。试图模仿发音和语调，特别注意情感的表达与重音的使用。
- 缓慢练习：可以将视频播放速度调低，以便更好地跟上演讲者的节奏，适合进行“shadow speech”练习。
- 复读和检验：录下自己的声音，与原视频进行对比。注意哪些地方发音不准确，努力纠正。
- 反复重复：反复练习，直到你能流利地复述演讲者的内容，并且能自主表达相关的观点。
通过这些步骤，学习者不仅能提高英语口语能力，还能在“雅思口语练习”中受益，变得更加自信和流利。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
