1
This is the universal money stress matrix.
2
Now, this is going to be a really helpful framework for determining where you might be in your career
3
or where you want to be.
4
Let's get into it.
5
So, on your x-axis, you're going to have the amount of money,
6
the pay that you're getting from your job.
7
And then on the y-axis,
8
you're going to have the level of stress that your job gives you.
9
Now, on money, we're going to have 0 to 10,
10
10 being your dream amount of income,
11
whatever that is, whether that's $500,000 or a million dollars a year.
12
And then on the y-axis for stress,
13
this is actually going to start at a 4
14
because there's no job that's less than a 4 in terms of stress levels,
15
and it's going to go up to a 10.
16
So, I want you to pay attention really carefully here because what I'm about to tell you is really, really important.
17
Let's say this is a 5.
18
So this is halfway between a 10 in terms of money.
19
There's going to be a line right here where any job that is less than a five in money,
20
you ideally do not want to be here,
21
regardless of the stress level.
22
So I'm going to call this the no-go zone.
23
Okay?
24
And so ideally, you don't want to play in this zone.
25
Now, there's going to be this line right here,
26
which I call the money-stress curve,
27
and you want to stay below this curve.
28
I'm going to explain why in just a second.
29
So any job up here where you're getting paid between a 5 to a 10 and your stress level though,
30
let's say, is above a 7,
31
which means you're fairly stressed out, is the burnout zone.
32
Now in the burnout zone,
33
what's going to happen is you're not going to last more than 6 to 12 months in this job
34
because even if it pays you decently well,
35
you are above a 7 in stress and that simply isn't sustainable.
36
You're probably working 80 to 100 hour weeks
37
and you're not going to have time to take care of yourself or spend time with your family,
38
friends, all that good stuff.
39
And so you want to avoid this zone if you can.
40
Now down here though, if you go and look at jobs
41
that are between a 5 to an 8 in terms of money but below the stress line,
42
this is actually a job that maybe pays okay but isn't necessarily at your target level of income.
43
And so I'm going to call this the stepping stone job.
44
Now, if you're someone who's been in the workforce for at least three to five years,
45
you're going to probably know what I'm talking about.
46
This is maybe your first job out of college or your second job,
47
and you know that you don't see yourself here long term maybe,
48
or you're using it as a way to gain the skills
49
that's required for you to eventually exit into a role
50
or get promoted into a position that you ultimately want to be in.
51
And so ideally you don't want to be in the stepping stone job for more than two to five years max,
52
because at that point you're just wasting your time.
53
So when we move into the zone of jobs
54
that are below the stress line but are perhaps an 8 or 10 in terms of pay,
55
this gets pretty interesting.
56
Let's say that at a stress level of 7,
57
anything that is a 7 to 10 in terms of stress,
58
so still pretty stressful, but where you're getting paid more than an 8,
59
so you're I'm getting paid the big bucks now.
60
This is what I will call the survive zone.
61
I know some of you are like,
62
dude, what are you talking about?
63
Why is this the survive zone?
64
I'm getting paid so much now.
65
Isn't this where I want to be?
66
It's the survive zone because you're probably still cranking out 80 plus hour weeks.
67
I have a lot of friends in this bucket.
68
If you know who you are,
69
you know who you are.
70
And you're working a job in investment banking,
71
management consulting, any high powered job,
72
Maybe if you're a corporate lawyer where you're getting paid the big bucks,
73
but it's a lot of work.
74
And most people,
75
you want to stay in here as long as you possibly can until you can actually find the dream job,
76
which I define as anything that is above a five but below a seven in terms of stress.
77
Now the dream job is quite difficult to find but that doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.
78
This is going to be jobs where you've got a very cushy gig that pays you really well and maybe
79
you're not working more than 60 hours a week and so you still manage to get home to your family
80
and you still have a fairly decent lifestyle and you're getting paid really, really well.
81
This is where most people want to end up.
82
Now, if you're below a 5 in stress and you're getting paid higher than an 8,
83
this is what I will call a unicorn because that doesn't exist.
84
If any of you watching work a job
85
that pays you above an 8 and also happens to be between a 4 and a 5 in stress,
86
Let me know.
87
I would like to go talk to your employer and ask them for a job.
88
Now, some of you may have been watching this and thinking to yourselves,
89
what do you mean there's no job below a 4 in stress that doesn't also pay me above an 8 mat?
90
What are you talking about?
91
Well, maybe there is a job.
92
Let's say that you do find a job where the stress level is a 2 or a 3, right?
93
And you also are making the big bucks.
94
Well, if that's the case,
95
you may actually be mistaken.
96
You're just a Nepo baby.
97
That's the universal money stress matrix.
98
Use it wisely.

为什么要通过这个视频练习口语?

通过观看此视频,您可以有效地提高您的英语口语能力。这段视频探讨了工作的薪水和压力之间的关系,借助生动的例子和清晰的图表,帮助您理解如何在工作中找到平衡。英语影子跟读是一种出色的练习方式,您可以通过模仿视频中的演讲者,提升自己的发音和流利度。利用这种视频,您能够在真实的语境中学习,并增强对英语表达的自然理解。

语法与表达的语境

在视频中,演讲者使用了一些关键的语法结构和表达方式,以下是几个例子:

  • 条件句:演讲者提到,如果薪水在某个范围内,压力会如何变化。通过这种表达,他们有效地展示了因果关系。
  • 比较级:在谈论收入和压力时,使用了“高于”或“低于”等比较级词汇,使得观点更加明确。
  • 顺序连词:演讲者运用了“首先”、“然后”等语句连接不同的思想,增强了逻辑性和条理性。

通过模仿这些句型并在生活中应用,您能够更好地理解如何在不同的情境中使用英语,从而提高口语能力。

常见发音陷阱

在播放视频时,有一些单词和短语可能会让非母语人士感到困惑。注意以下的发音陷阱:

  • stress【压力】 vs. stressed【感到压力的】 - 这两个词的发音相似,但重音位置不同,容易混淆。
  • career【职业】与criteria【标准】 - 这些词的发音容易混淆,尤其是对于以中文为母语的人。
  • sustainable【可持续的】的读音 - 这个单词中包含多个音节,练习时要注意每个音节的发声。

针对这些发音,您可以设定每天进行shadow speak的练习,尤其是观看此类视频,跟读发音,以提升您的英语流利度。同时,不妨利用看YouTube学英语的方式来获得更多的练习材料和真实的语音输入。

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。
