正在创建课程...
1
Try your best not to become a shy adult.
2
The world will not always wait for you to find your voice.
3
And I really need young people to hear that.
4
Not because quiet people are weak, not because something's wrong with quiet people, or because everyone needs to be loud or outgoing or the center of attention,
5
but because when fear controls your voice, it can control your whole life.
6
It can decide which jobs you apply for, it can decide which rooms you enter, You can even decide how much disrespect you accept.
7
That's why it's so important to know you have to work on your confidence while you're still young.
8
The real world does not always stop to ask why you're silent.
9
People instead often pay attention to the person who speaks clearly, the one who asks questions, and the one who shows interest.
10
You might be the smartest person, the most prepared, and the most hardworking.
11
But if you never speak up, people may not know what you can do.
12
You may have the best idea in the meeting, but if it stays in your head, it can't help anyone.
13
You might deserve that promotion, but if you never tell your manager that you're ready for more, they may choose the person who did.
14
That doesn't mean you're unworthy.
15
It means people cannot respond to a person they never get the chance to see.
16
And I feel like shyness can make good people look uninterested.
17
It can make kind people look distant.
18
It can create the wrong picture of who you are as a person.
19
And after a while, you may start believing that wrong picture too.
20
You might tell yourself, no one cares what I think.
21
But how often have you shared what you think?
22
You might say to yourself, no one respects me.
23
But how often have you calmly told people what you won't expect?
24
These questions are not meant to blame you.
25
They're meant to remind you that you have more power than you think.
26
Confidence is not something only lucky people receive it's something
27
that you can build yourself you build it every time you
28
do what fear told you to avoid you build it
29
when you introduce yourself first you get over that shyness or
30
that awkward feeling of meeting new people you build it
31
when you ask for help instead of pretending you understand you build it
32
when you say excuse me I wasn't finished speaking none of those things require you to become loud arrogant
33
or even annoying they only require you to stop disappearing
34
and there's an important difference between being quiet
35
and being afraid some people naturally enjoy small groups
36
and there's nothing wrong with that you can be private calm and quiet
37
while still having confidence a confident quiet person can introduce themselves
38
they can explain what they need they can say no they can speak
39
when something matters they don't need to own the room they
40
don't need to be the center of attention they simply know they have a right to be in it
41
shyness becomes a problem when you fear
42
when what you fear keeps choosing for you maybe you want to speak
43
but your body freezes up or maybe you want to meet someone but you imagine rejection
44
before even approaching them and saying hello maybe you let people interrupt you because correcting them feels uncomfortable.
45
That fear may have a history.
46
Maybe you were left at in school.
47
Maybe you grew up around people who shut you down whenever you tried to speak.
48
Maybe you learned that staying unnoticed was the safest choice.
49
Be kind to yourself about where that fear came from.
50
But don't let yesterday keep ruining your life.
51
Don't let it run your life.
52
Where protected you in one season may be holding you back in the next one.
53
You can learn a new way.
54
You can start with a simple practice.
55
Do not begin by trying to give a speech to a thousand people or doing something above and beyond.
56
Just start by saying hello to one person.
57
Make your own appointment over the phone.
58
Ask one question during class.
59
Share one idea during a meeting.
60
Tell your friends which stretch front you would actually prefer instead of staying in your shell.
61
Small moments build strong communication.
62
Each time you speak, your brain learns that you can survive being seen.
63
Every moment's not going to go perfect.
64
You might stumble over a sentence.
65
You still might be nervous.
66
You know, you might stutter.
67
All that's normal.
68
Confident people have awkward moments too.
69
They simply do not turn one awkward moment into proof that they should never speak again.
70
Don't go home and replay one sentence all night.
71
Don't punish yourself because you sounded nervous you were nervous
72
and you still tried that's progress preparation can also help you
73
if you have an interview practice answering questions out loud
74
if you have a meeting write down one point you want to share
75
if you need to set a boundary choose your words before the conversation say stuff like i'm not comfortable with
76
that uh you know if someone's trying to interrupt you confidently say please let me finish.
77
If you want to say no to something that you don't want to be around, say, no, I can't do that.
78
Short sentences like these can protect you.
79
You don't need a long speech to stand up for yourself.
80
Your body matters too.
81
Lift your head up when you walk into a room.
82
Keep your shoulders back, but keep them relaxed.
83
Look at people directly in their eye when they speak to you.
84
Use a voice they can hear.
85
You don't have to act tough, arrogant.
86
You don't have to be annoying just simply showing
87
that you are present some people will test the person who
88
seems afraid to respond they might talk over you they may
89
make jokes about you they may volunteer your time without asking
90
they may keep pushing after you already said no you don't have to insult them
91
or start an argument stay calm repeat yourself and say things like i said no I was still talking.
92
Don't speak to me that way.
93
And when you're doing this, your voice may shake.
94
Say it anyway.
95
Courage doesn't always sound smooth.
96
Sometimes courage sounds nervous but clear.
97
Set those boundaries.
98
The more you protect your boundaries, the more you teach yourself that you deserve protection.
99
Communication will help you in every part of life.
100
It will help you at work.
101
It will help you make friends.
102
It will help you handle conflict.
103
It will help you ask questions at the doctor's office it
104
will help you tell the people you love what you need many problems grow
105
because nobody wants to have the uncomfortable conversations start learning how
106
to have it you do not need to enjoy every conversation
107
you only need to stop running from all of them and
108
if your shyness feels too strong to handle alone ask for
109
support talk to someone you trust it's your life you want
110
to become better work with the counselor join a group where
111
you can practice speaking in a safe space there's no shame
112
in getting help the goal is not to change who you
113
are the goal is to stop fear from hiding who you are
114
so try your best not to become a shy adult
115
practice now speak now let yourself be seen now
116
and you will not wake up confident one morning without doing anything different confidence grows through use one conversation question,
117
one question, one boundary, approaching someone you wouldn't have approached before, one brave moment at a time.
118
The world may not always make room for you, learn how to make room for yourself.
119
Not by becoming louder than everyone else, but by believing that your voice deserves to be heard too.
120
Don't spend your adult life waiting for permission to speak.
121
Walk into that room, lift your head, say what needs to be said, and show the world the person fear has been hiding.

关于本课
您正在使用跟读技巧通过视频"Don’t Become A Shy Adult"练习英语口语和发音。
每天练习15到30分钟，将显著提高您的英语流利度和发音准确度。
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。
