1
You know, something I had to realize is that Being normal or just wanting to be normal is so stupid.
2
Because why do you want to be someone that you're not?
3
Why do you want to try and be this perfect person?
4
There's no reason for you to try and be perfect, because none of us are perfect in the first place.
5
We're all not perfect.
6
We all have insecurities and we all have problems that we may be going through. But...
7
That makes who you are.
8
You see, you live your life because of the problems you've gone through.
9
You've became who you are because of the stuff that you went through in your life.
10
And even though those times, yeah, they might have been hard, but...
11
They made you into who you are now.
12
They've built you brick by brick.
13
Every problem you've had, problem by problem by problem, it is stacked up to become who you are.
14
And that's just how life is, you know?
15
But wanting to be perfect, isn't who you should be.
16
Because not everybody's perfect.
17
And if you were perfect, well then if everything was so perfect all the time, you wouldn't know what perfect actually was.
18
You wouldn't be able to feel that happiness, that sensation of doing something great if you were always perfect all the time.
19
So, you know, it's not great to always be perfect.
20
You don't always want to be perfect.
21
It's good to have flaws.
22
It's good to mess up sometimes.
23
It's good to not be this perfect person all the time.
24
You know, it builds who you are.
25
And, you know, sometimes there's beauty in messing up.
26
You know, you mess up, you learn from it, and you get better and better and better.
27
And every time you get better, you're happier.
28
It brings joy.
29
Every time you do something good, you feel the sensation of happiness.
30
You feel so happy all the time whenever you do this great thing.
31
And if you were perfect, you would never know what that felt like.
32
You would never know those happy times.
33
So, yeah, it's sometimes it's hard whenever you can't do something or whenever you mess up or whenever you're not perfect. But...
34
You shouldn't always want to be perfect.

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。
