One of the most common questions I receive is improvement pill.
2
I don't know what I want to do in life.
3
How can I find my passion?
4
And that's a pretty important question.
5
So in today's video, I'm going to show you exactly how to do just that.
6
This episode was brought to you with the help of the guys at Skillshare.com.

8
Now before we get started,
9
I want to debunk something.
10
A lot of us are under the assumption
11
that there's only one thing out there that can be our passion
12
that it's predetermined by birth and that all we have to do is find it.
13
But that's not how it works.
14
The truth of the matter is that there's probably many,
15
many things that could potentially be your passion.
16
In fact, it's entirely possible to have more than one passion.
17
If you take a look at a lot of very successful people,
18
you'll find that this is generally the case.
19
For example, Tim Ferriss is a well-known author and speaker.
20
But did you know that he was also a competitive dancer, wrestler and investor?
21
There's only two things you need to do in order for you to discover one of your passions.
22
The first is that you must change where you get your dopamine from.
23
Dopamine is the chemical that is released by our brain that motivates us to do things.
24
Without it, you will literally starve to death even if there was food right in front of you.
25
The release of dopamine is also accompanied by pleasure.
26
The problem nowadays is that dopamine is very easy to get.
27
It's cheap and it's abundant everywhere.
28
Back in the day we had to do stuff in order to get
29
that dopamine and most of the time that meant creating something.
30
You had to build a house,
31
you had to create a nice piece of pottery,
32
you had to go out and tend to your crops.
33
While you worked on these tasks you were flooded with dopamine and you felt good about the whole process.
34
If you followed this route you'd naturally become passionate about whatever it is that you did.
35
But nowadays it's a little bit different.
36
We can now flood our brain with dopamine without having to do much at all.
37
You can surf the web,
38
you can binge watch some TV shows,
39
you can order amazing foods for your front door almost instantaneously.
40
And methods like this have become the main sources of dopamine for the majority of people.
41
Now what's different about these sources of dopamine as compared to the ones we used to get it from?
42
Well these are forms of consumption.
43
And the ones we used to use are forms of creation.
44
And this is a very important distinction.
45
In order for something to be your passion,
46
it must stem from creation.
47
If you get the majority of your dopamine from a form of consumption,
48
do you know what we call that?
49
We call that an addiction.
50
You're addicted to watching TV,
51
you're addicted to smoking cigarettes,
52
you're addicted to eating junk food.
53
But on the other hand,
54
if we get the majority of our dopamine from a form of creation,
55
that's called the passion.
56
You're passionate about drawing, you're passionate about dancing, you're passionate about farming.
57
So the first
58
and most important thing you have to do in order to find your passion is to turn back your consumption valve.
59
Watch less TV, play less video games, eat less junk food.
60
When you turn back your consumption valve,
61
you force yourself to start looking for dopamine from forms of creation.
62
This is crucial for our next step.
63
The second thing you have to do in order to find
64
your passion is to simply expose yourself to a variety of different forms of creation.
65
To give yourself a chance to get dopamine from these sources instead of forms of consumption.
66
Now there's no fancy trick to finding these things,
67
you just gotta approach it the old-fashioned way by trying things out.
68
So what I suggest you to do after successfully completing step number one is to search up a list of hobbies.
69
Literally go on Google and type in list of hobbies Wikipedia.
70
Look through the list and if you see anything that seems even remotely interesting or fun,
71
write it down.
72
Create a list.
73
Then all you have to do is take this list and ask yourself Which thing would I like to try out first?
74
You should only try out one of these hobbies at a
75
time You must give yourself enough time to see whether
76
or not you can make this hobby into a passion
77
if you've successfully Followed our first step
78
which is to drastically tone down the amount of dopamine you get from forms of consumption What happens next should be automatic?
79
Let's say you picked photography as something you might be interested in
80
if you followed our first step correctly You'll naturally do some research on photography.
81
You'll look up some videos you'll start playing around with a cheap camera
82
or your phone and after a while you'll know whether or not you actually like this hobby.
83
All of this is fueled by the dopamine
84
that you are no longer getting from forms of consumption because you are now getting it from a form of creation.
85
And let's say you don't find yourself interested in photography,
86
all you have to do is move on to the second thing on your list.
87
And if that doesn't work out either,
88
try the third thing and so on and so on.
89
And if you continue to find yourself not interested in anything,
90
then chances are you're not following the first step properly.
91
You have to turn down the amount of dopamine you get from forms of consumption even more.
92
Now I know this sounds overly simplistic,
93
but finding a passion isn't as hard as people make it seem.
94
Honestly, all you have to do is tone down the amount of dopamine you're getting from sources of consumption
95
and allow yourself to explore different forms of creation.
96
Speaking of
97
which, a great place for you to dip your feet into the water for a variety of different hobbies is Skillshare.com

为什么通过这个视频练习口语？
在学习英语的过程中，口语表达能力是一个重要的方面。通过观看视频并模仿说话者的语音、语调与节奏，学习者能够更好地掌握语言的流利度和自然度。尤其是使用 英语影子跟读（shadowspeak）的技巧，能够帮助学习者在真实的语境中提高口语表达的自信心和准确性。这可以让你在社交场合和日常交流中更加自如。
语法与表达在语境中
- 动词时态的使用：视频中提到“我们必须改变多巴胺的来源”，这里使用了现在时来传达一个普遍真理，让观众意识到这种影响是持续的。
- 条件句：说话者提到：“如果你以这种方式展开，你自然会对所做的事情充满热情。”这个结构有效地展示了因果关系，帮助学习者理解如何使用条件句来表达可能性。
- 对比结构：说话者提到“消费形式”和“创造形式”，此对比清晰地强调了两个概念之间的差异，有助于学习者更好地理解相关词汇的使用。
常见的发音陷阱
在视频中，有一些易混淆的发音值得注意：
- 多巴胺（dopamine）：这个词的正确发音是 /ˈdoʊ.pəˌmiːn/，学习者要特别注意重音位置。
- 消费（consume）：发音为 /kənˈsjuːm/，注意元音的正确发音，尤其是在重音所在。
- 创造（create）：这个词的发音是 /kriˈeɪt/，注意“cr”的发音要清晰，避免模糊音。
通过锻炼这些发音和语法结构，学习者能够更有效地进行 shadowspeaks 或 shadow speak 的练习，提高自身的口语能力。利用这种方法，学习者不仅能够提升英语水平，还能够在实际交际中表现得更加自然流畅。
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。
