Why did you think that now was a good time to write about this topic?

Is it a difficult time for business leaders and organizations collectively to be courageous?

So to understand that question, you have to first ask the question, what triggers fear?

So what triggers fear is uncertainty.

Now, let me back up on that.

What is uncertainty?

Uncertainty is different from risk.

There was a very famous essay written by an economist, Frank Knight.

Risk is where you know the distribution of outcomes and you can put a probability on them.

Uncertainty is where you don't know.

If you look at what's happening around us today, what do we have?

We have geopolitical uncertainty.

We have political uncertainty.

We have technological uncertainty.

We have economic uncertainty.

We have health uncertainty.

We have environmental uncertainty.

And I can go on and on.

And I'm not the only one feeling it.

In a recent essay, an author talked about how in earnings calls,

CEOs mention the word uncertainty three times as often in this last quarter than they did the previous quarter.

If you look at the VIX index, which people in the stock market loosely call the fear index, you know, it has spiked.

So we have manifest uncertainty around us, which naturally normally will trigger fear,

which naturally and normally leads to the classic freeze response.

Let's wait.

We don't know what to do.

Let's not invest right now.

We need to just see how this tariffs and whatever else is going to play out.

And sometimes that may be the prudent response, but sometimes you need to be willing to lean into that fear.

值得反复跟读的句子

视频中简短而完整的句子，可以直接用在日常对话里：

Uncertainty is where you don't know.
We don't know what to do.
Let's not invest right now.

需要注意的发音

说话人用了 3 次缩略和弱读形式，例如 don't, I'm。请按听到的简短形式来说。

长单词——注意重音位置: uncertainty /ʌnˈsɜːtənti/, naturally /ˈnæt͡ʃ.(ə.)ɹə.li/, technological /ˌtɛk.nəˈlɑ.dʒɪ.kəl/, probability /ˌpɹɑ.bəˈbɪl.ə.ti/, economist /iˈkɑ.nə.mɪst/

中文母语者容易读错的音：

词尾辅音 — 要读清楚，后面不要加元音: topic /ˈtɑpɪk/, invest /ɪnˈvɛst/, freeze /ˈfɹiːz/, spike /spaɪk/, economist /iˈkɑ.nə.mɪst/
/r/ 和 /l/ 的区别: naturally /ˈnæt͡ʃ.(ə.)ɹə.li/, probability /ˌpɹɑ.bəˈbɪl.ə.ti/
/æ/ — 嘴张大，不要读成 /e/: naturally /ˈnæt͡ʃ.(ə.)ɹə.li/, manifest /ˈmæn.ɪ.fɛst/, tariff /ˈtæɹəf/

如何用这段视频练习

先完整听一遍视频，不要开口，记下不认识的单词。
先用 0.75 倍速逐句跟读，熟练之后再回到正常速度。
录下自己的声音并与原声对比，特别注意 uncertainty, trigger, essay 这类单词。

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。
