1
Regret.
2
It's one of our most common emotions, but also one of our most misunderstood.
3
We think that the path to a good life is to ignore our regrets, to always look forward and never look back, to always be positive and never be negative.
4
And that is a mistake.
5
We have a rich body of science telling us that if we approach our regrets in the right way, we can enlist them to work smarter, and live better.
6
In this video, I'm going to show you the four universal regrets that people all over the world have.
7
And I'm going to show you how to learn from them.
8
A few years ago, I created something called the World Regret Project, where I asked people all over the world to share with me one of their big regrets.
9
We now have a database of more than 26 ,000 regrets from people in 134 countries.
10
And what's amazing about these regrets is that around the world, people seem to have the same four core regrets.
11
First category, Foundation regrets.
12
These are small decisions that people make early in life, no single one of which is deadly or cataclysmic, but they'd accumulate to negative consequences later on.
13
Classic example: I spent too much and saved too little, and now I'm broke.
14
Foundation regrets sound like this: If only I'd done the work.
15
Second category: Boldness regrets.
16
You're at a juncture in your life.
17
You have two choices: You can play it safe, or you can take the chance.
18
and overwhelmingly People regret not taking the chance.
19
And it doesn't matter what the domain of life is.
20
It could be asking somebody out on a date.
21
It could be starting a business.
22
It could be traveling.
23
What sticks with us over time are the inactions, the lack of boldness.
24
Boldness regrets sound like this: "If only I'd taken the chance."
25
regret doing the wrong thing because most of us are good
26
and most of us want to be good it could be
27
bullying it could be extramarital affairs it could be lying
28
when we do the wrong thing it sticks with us moral regrets if only i'd done the right thing
29
Final category, connection regrets.
30
These are about relationships and not only about romantic relationships but about the full suite of relationships in our lives.
31
You have a relationship that was intact or should have been intact, but it comes apart.
32
and it often comes apart in deeply undramatic ways.
33
It doesn't explode, It just drifts apart.
34
You want to reach out, but you don't because it's going to be awkward.
35
You want to reach out, but you think the other side's not going to care.
36
So you wait, and the drift widens.
37
Almost always a mistake.
38
Connection regrets sound like this: "If only I'd reached out." So around the world, people have the same four core regrets, foundation regrets.
39
If only I'd done the work.
40
Boldness regrets.
41
If only I'd taken the chance.
42
Moral regrets.
43
If only I'd done the right thing.
44
And connection regrets.
45
If only I'd reached out.
46
These regrets are instructive.
47
And one of the things I learned as a researcher is that when people tell you what they regret the most, they're telling you what they value the most.
48
And these four universal regrets are telling you, telling all of us, what we value in life.
49
They're giving us the path to a good life.
50
Let's go to another area here.
51
What do you do with your regrets?
52
All of us have regrets.
53
How do you turn them into an engine of progress?
54
I have a three -step process for doing that.
55
The three -step process is this.
56
Inward, outward, forward.
57
First step when you have a regret is how you treat yourself.
58
When we make mistakes, when we have screw -ups, when we have regrets, the way we talk to ourselves is cruel.
59
We think that being that mean -spirited toward ourselves is going to improve our performance, and that's not true.
60
So the first step in dealing with a regret is to treat yourself with kindness rather than contempt.
61
Don't treat yourself better than anybody else.
62
but don't treat yourself worse than anybody else.
63
A lot of the times the way we talk to ourselves, we would never talk to anybody else that way.
64
Recognize that your regrets are part of the human condition, and recognize that your regret is a moment in your life not the full measure of your life.
65
Step two: outward.
66
There is a strong argument in the research for writing about your regret, talking about your regret.
67
We fear that if we talk about our regrets with other people, or we talk about our mistakes or setbacks, that people will think less of us.
68
But there's some very good evidence that's wrong, that people often think more of us.
69
They admire our courage, they admire our candor.
70
So that's one reason to talk about your regrets, to write about your regrets.
71
The other reason is that when we express our regrets, it's shoulder.
72
A final reason that this outward expression of regrets is valuable is that negative emotions are blobby, they're amorphous.
73
They sit up there like a vapor.
74
When you write about your regret or talk about your regret, you take this vaporous, abstract thing and you turn it into concrete words that's less menacing.
75
So, final step: forward.
76
How do you use your regret to move forward?
77
You have to be very systematic and explicit about this.
78
Think about your regret and ask yourself these two questions: What lesson is this teaching me
79
and what am I going to do next?
80
Extract a lesson from the regret and then take that lesson and say, what is my next move going to be?
81
When we do that, this negative emotion can be a positive force, because looking backward can move us forward.

为什么要通过这个视频进行口语练习？
练习口语是一种极为有效的学习英语的方法，而通过这段视频进行英语影子跟读（shadow speak）练习，更是能够帮助你在多个方面提升语言能力。视频中提到的四种普遍遗憾，不仅引发了广泛思考，还提供了一个非常生动的交流背景。通过模仿演讲者的语调和节奏，学习者能够内部化这些表达方式，提高自己的口语流利度和自信心。此外，此类视频的内容引人入胜，有助于激发学习兴趣，让学习过程更加愉快。
语法与表达的上下文
在视频中，演讲者使用了多个有效的语法结构和表达方式，以下是其中的几个关键点：
- 假设语气：例如，演讲者使用了“如果我做了……”，这种结构可以帮助学习者在表达假设和愿望时更加自如。
- 过去完成时：在讲述遗憾时，使用过去完成时（如“如果我曾经……”）能够有效传递对往事的感慨。
- 对比结构：通过对比不同选择的结果，演讲者突出了选择的重要性，如“我可以……，也可以……”。这种结构帮助学习者理解和表达选择的复杂性。
- 感叹句：如“多么希望我能……”，这些用法能够增加口语表达的情感色彩，增强与听者的共鸣。
常见的发音陷阱
在这段视频中，有几个词汇和语调可能会对学习者构成挑战：
- Regret（遗憾）：这个单词的发音容易出错，注意重音落在第二个音节上，发音时要清晰。
- Connection（联系）：这个词有时会被发音为“conn-EX-tion”，而正确应为“conn-EK-tion”，确保链接清晰可辨。
- Bullied（欺负）：练习这个词时要注意元音的发音，避免发成“billed”，加深对声音的掌控。
通过进行英语影子跟读（shadowspeak）练习，学习者不仅能够改善发音，还能够更自然地使用语法结构，从而提升整体的口语能力。将这些技巧融入日常练习中，将帮助你更自信地与他人交流。
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。
