2
A few years ago, I felt like I was stuck in a rut,
3
so I decided to follow in the footsteps of the great American philosopher Morgan Spurlock and try something new for 30 days.
4
The idea is actually pretty simple.
5
Think about something you've always wanted to add to your life and try it for the next 30 days.
6
It turns out, 30 days is just about the right amount of time to add a new habit or subtract a habit, like watching the news from your life.
7
There's a few things that I learned while doing these 30-day challenges.
8
The first was, instead of the months flying by forgotten, the time was much more memorable.
9
This was part of a challenge I did to take a picture every day for a month, and I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing that day.
10
I also noticed that as I started to do more and harder 30-day challenges, my self-confidence grew.
11
I went from desk-dwelling computer nerd to the kind of guy who bikes to work for fun.
12
Even last year, I ended up hiking up Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa.
13
I would never have been that adventurous before I started my 30-day challenges.
14
I also figured out that if you really want something badly enough, you can do anything for 30 days.
15
Have you ever wanted to write a novel?
16
Every November, tens of thousands of people try to write their own 50,000-word novel from scratch in 30 days.
17
It turns out, all you have to do is write 1,667 words a day for a month. So I did.
18
By the way, the secret is not to go to sleep until you've written your words for the day.
19
You might be sleep deprived, but you'll finish your novel.
20
Now, is my book the next great American novel?
21
No, I wrote it in a month.
22
It's awful.
23
But for the rest of my life, if I meet John Hodgman at a TED party, I don't have to say, I'm a computer scientist.
24
No, no. If I want to, I can say, I'm a novelist.
25
So here's one last thing I'd like to mention.
26
I learned that when I made small, sustainable changes, things I could keep doing, they were more likely to stick.
27
There's nothing wrong with big, crazy challenges.
28
In fact, they're a ton of fun, but they're less likely to stick.
29
When I gave up sugar for 30 days, day 31 looked like this.
30
So here's my question to you.
31
What are you waiting for?
32
I guarantee you the next 30 days are going to pass, whether you like it or not.
33
So why not think about something you have always wanted to try?
34
And give it a shot for the next 30 days.
35
Thanks.
36
Thank you to everyone that took the time to vote for us on the Mazda Rebels Hub.
37
We've been humbled by the support that we've received and the Mazda grant is going to make a huge difference.
38
The grant is going to support three major projects, both getting peaked out there to the community, it's going to support a hospital in Kenya to deliver eye care immediately,
39
and a bakery which is going to provide employment and a sustainable way of delivering eye care into the future.
40
We're really excited about sharing these different projects.
41
There are many challenges ahead, but come back here and we'll share the stories with you as they happen.

- /v/ — 不要读成 /w/，上齿轻触下唇: adventurous /ædˈvɛn.t͡ʃɚ.əs/, deprive /dɪˈpɹaɪv/, novelist /ˈnɑvəlɪst/

- 录下自己的声音并与原声对比，特别注意 sustainable, habit, deprive 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。
