1
People often ask me, does work make you happy?
2
And the answer is it can.
3
But we have to understand how.
4
It's a real skill.
5
The biggest mistake that people make about work and happiness is thinking that success in worldly terms is going to bring happiness.
6
And it's not true.
7
That's true.
8
The worldly success from work has to do with money and power and the admiration of other people and job titles, et cetera, et cetera.
9
And a lot of people mistakenly think that those markers of success will bring happiness in its wake.
10
In other words, be successful, get happy automatically.
11
That's exactly wrong.
12
I've done research for years as an economist on labor markets and the characteristics of work.
13
And it's true that you need to make an income where you can support yourself and your family.
14
But that doesn't bring happiness.
15
That just eliminates the sources of unhappiness.
16
To get actual happiness from work, you need to seek two things, and really two things only.
17
We call them earned success and service to others.
18
Service to others is pretty self-explanatory.
19
I can talk about that in a second.
20
Earned success, not so much.
21
That's the opposite of what psychologists refer to as learned helplessness, where nothing you do really matters, and so you kind of give up.
22
It's also associated with depression and loneliness in the workplace, et cetera.
23
You don't want learned helplessness, that's for sure.
24
You want earned success where you feel like you're creating value with your life, value with your work, value in the lives of other people through your work, and it's being acknowledged and recognized.
25
That's how earned success works.
26
That's why it's so critically important that people who are bosses, people who are managers, that they help other people to earn their success and they recognize the value that people are creating.
27
That's why meritocracy is so critically important for people to get actual joy from their work.
28
The second is service to other people.
29
You have to feel like your job matters to others and you're lightening somebody else's load.
30
Then you'll go to work with joy.
31
It's weird.
32
The data are pretty clear that it doesn't actually matter to a certain extent what the job is.
33
You know, I've done experiments with people where they say, I feel like I'm a drone.
34
I feel like I'm a cog in a machine.
35
And then they'll do something like, through the experimentation process, They'll start getting coffee for the people in the next cubicle at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
36
You look like you could use a fresh cup of coffee.
37
And mysteriously, they start to like their jobs better.
38
Why is that?
39
Because we're made to serve other people.
40
If you can build your work into something that's meaningful to you because you're truly earning your success and recognized for it, and you're serving other people, and on top of that,
41
you're doing something you're really good at, work's going to bring you joy.
42
100% guaranteed.
43
Thank you.

练习技巧
在进行英语口语练习时，采用影子跟读（英语影子跟读）的的方法是非常有效的，尤其是在处理视频中的讲话速度和语气时。以下是一些具体的建议，帮助你更好地练习：
- 选择视频中简单明了的句子进行跟读，注意讲者的语调和重音。
- 尽量模仿讲者的语速，逐渐增加复杂度，提升英语口语流利度。
- 在跟读时，关注关键词汇的发音，例如“获得成功”和“服务他人”，加强对这些短语的记忆和应用。
- 如果有困难，暂停视频，先理解句子的意思，再进行重复练习。
- 与同伴进行交流，分享各自的经验，提高口语互动能力，适合雅思口语练习。
- 可以将影子跟读与独自练习相结合，即在没有视频的情况下，回忆并复述你所跟读的内容。
记住，定期进行影子跟读（shadowspeak）不仅能够提高你的语言能力，还能帮助你在沟通中感受到更多的快乐，这样你的工作和学习将变得更加充实和有意义。
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。
