hey there i'm drew badger the world's
world's number one english fluency
fluency guide and it is a pleasure
pleasure to welcome you to another
another advanced listening practice
practice lesson in this video we're
we're going to be talking about success
success and failure and why if
if you want to do something meaningful
meaningful that will take a long time
time
time so
so something that's different from
from just picking up a bottle or turning
turning on a light so these are all
all easy things to do I'm
I'm talking about things that you
you know require a lot of time and
and effort like fluency or building
building a business or wealth over
over time
over time all
all these things will require failures
failures in order to achieve success
success and so I just wanted to make
make a just a quick video about that
that reminding you about why it's
it's so important to when you think
think about trying to achieve something
something that you absolutely are
are going to be failing on the road
road to to achieving whatever that
that happens to be so if you're the
the kind of person that is really
really frustrated when you know something
something is happening that's odd
odd it's not going to be easy for
for you it's really going to be difficult
difficult for you to achieve something
something like fluency that takes
takes time for building a business
business or you know getting muscles
muscles in the gym anything else like
like that
like that so
so pretty much anything that does
does take time it follows a pretty
pretty predictable curve so something
something that's pretty predictable
predictable you know that it's going
going to happen of when it begins
begins you get a little bit excited
excited at the beginning a I'm doing
doing something new and I'm a little
little bit excited about my progress
progress because when you first start
start doing something pretty much
much any new information is more than
than you knew before and the difference
difference between that that your
your knowing now and that you knew
knew before it's
it's significant enough that it gets
gets you excited to do something but
but as you continued to progress in
in that thing you're learning more
more and more and then typically you
you hit a wall so this is an English
English expression to mean that you're
you're frustrated because you can't
can't move further you're hitting
hitting a wall to hit a wall so
so when you do hit that wall that's
that's the moment when people are
are really tested where you're going
going to know okay am I the kind of
of person that can fight through that
that or work around that get over
over that wall another
another thing people talk about is
is getting over the hump or over that
that hump
that hump so
so like the hump the
the back of a camel so this is this
this is an idea of having the like
like a roadblock something in your
your way and if you understand that
that that's going to be there then
then you know you're much more prepared
prepared for handling that situation
situation when it does come so
so for my own business even just developing
developing English anyone . com I'm
I'm just a regular person like anybody
anybody else and so I experienced
experienced failures all the time
time I make plenty of mistakes for
for what I do you can watch these
these videos and I mean they're not
not even like really well produced
produced i wish i did a better job
job of them i'm just not that I guess
guess maybe that great at editing
editing videos but also i'm just trying
trying to make sure i get information
information out to people as quickly
quickly as possible so there's a lot
lot to learn and I'm trying to share
share things as quickly as I can anyway
anyway I understand that i'm going
going to be learning things and you
you know understanding coming from
from an education background so I'm
I'm not like a marketing person or
or business person but having learned
learned those things as I've been
been going through becoming an educator
educator and starting an actual business
business doing that I've
I've been you know going through that
that process of at the beginning a
a this is a lot of fun and then no
no no you make a bunch of mistakes
mistakes and then you do something
something else and hopefully you go
go through that kind of dip at the
the end before you start making real
real progress so
so pretty much everybody that does
does this that doesn't really matter
matter what you're doing but if you
you understand that this process is
is going to happen before you start
start doing it it makes you much more
more prepared for when it does happen
happen
happen and
and actually you should be a little
little bit nervous if it does not
not happen because it means you're
you're not challenging yourself so
so if you're not hitting a wall if
if you're not finding some some struggle
struggle or some problem and it typically
typically means that you're not really
really pushing yourself as hard as
as you should be so
so if you're not challenging yourself
yourself you're not going to be moving
moving to the next level and that's
that's exactly what you need to be
be doing as a learner of a second
second language so
so when you are thinking about learning
learning a second language or doing
doing anything else that requires
requires a lot of time and effort
effort understand first that you're
you're going to go through a process
process of having it be exciting at
at the beginning then frustrating
frustrating and confusing while you
you search for ways to solve whatever
whatever problem you encounter and
and then if you can persevere then
then you will experience that light
light
light at
at the end of the tunnel so these
these things again i just wanted to
to make this video just a quick video
video for you to make this point really
really clear and just just so you
you get the idea that if you understand
understand this going into it before
before you even start do
do you know worrying about any kind
kind of long term training or long-term
long-term fluency long-term reaching
reaching that goal you will absolutely
absolutely experienced roadblocks
roadblocks and problems and frustrations
frustrations and we all go through
through them so just understand that
that as you're learning and it's going
going to help you feel much better
better when you do encounter those
those things so you know you're headed
headed in the right track because
because things are going as they should
should be going through the particular
particular predictable pattern that
that anybody goes through when they're
they're trying to learn something
something new so
so again you're starting at the beginning
beginning you're excited and then
then it kind of goes down and then
then you've got a that frustration
frustration . before you start moving
moving back up again so
so what happens with everyone and
and if you understand this before
before you start and you're going
going to be feeling much better about
about the whole process well
well that's it for this video i just
just want to do again make a quick
quick video about talking about that
that success means failure so
so if you want success you will absolutely
absolutely have to endure failure
failure and it's just part of the
the process so smile enjoy
