Some people do not know you.
124
Some people do not care about you.

Why give them so much power?
126
We can also learn to listen to our own voice.
127
Inside you, there is a quiet voice.
128
It says what you like, what you believe, what you want.
129
This voice is sometimes soft because outside voices are loud.
130
But if you stay quiet and listen, you can hear it.
131
When you follow your own voice, you feel strong.
132
Even if someone does not agree, you still stand.

Share one idea in a meeting.
137
Wear one piece of clothing you love.

Say hello to someone new.

After each small action, you will see that the world does not end.
140
Maybe someone will not like it, but many times nothing bad happens.
141
Your brain slowly learns that fear is not always truth.
142
We should remember that people's opinions change.
143
Today someone may not like you.
144
Tomorrow they may respect you.
145
Today someone may laugh at your dream.
146
Tomorrow they may ask you how you did it.
147
If you change your life for every opinion, you will feel tired.
148
You will move left and right all the time.
149
But if you choose your own direction, you can walk straight.
150
There is a big difference between listening and fearing.
151
Listening means you are open.
152
You hear feedback.
153
You think about it.
154
If it is useful, you use it.
155
If it is not useful, you let it go.
156
Fearing means you feel small.
157
You think every word is a big truth.
158
You forget your own value.
159
Listening makes you grow.
160
Fearing makes you hide.
161
When we stop living only for other people's thoughts, something beautiful happens.
162
We feel lighter.
163
We laugh more.
164
We try more things.
165
We accept mistakes.
166
We understand that mistakes are part of being human.
167
No one is perfect.
168
Even the people we admire make mistakes.
169
But they continue.
170
They do not stop because of every opinion.
171
Think about your life now?
172
How many choices do you make because you truly want them?
173
And how many choices do you make because you are afraid of what people will say?
174
This question is simple, but the answer can change your life.
175
If you choose only to please everyone, you may lose yourself.
176
But if you choose to be honest with yourself, you may lose some approval, yet you will find peace.
177
In the end, people will always think something.
178
You cannot control their minds.
179
You cannot close their mouths.
180
But you can control your steps.
181
You can choose to walk, even when nobody claps.
182
You can choose to speak, even when your voice shakes.
183
You can choose to live your life, not a life made from fear.
184
Why do we fear what people think?
185
Because we want love, safety, and acceptance.
186
Because we are human, but we can learn something new.
187
We can learn that our value is not a number of likes, not one comment, not one rejection.
188
Our value is inside us.
189
When we understand this, fear becomes smaller.
190
It may not disappear, but it does not control us.
191
And when fear does not control us, we become free.
192
We become real.
193
We become ourselves.

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。
