【英语播客】Niki的英文语音备忘录

At one point we invented tools and we made use of them, period.

Until one day we invented a tool that started to be our master.

Be aware. Make some change.

I used to equate eating meals with ingesting anything eatable.

That's wrong.

I used to eat foods that my brain liked but that my body hated.

That’s stupid.

That’s a shame.

"Being in the present moment, or the “here and now,” means that we are aware and mindful of what is happening at this very moment. We are not distracted by ruminations on the past or worries about the future, but centered in the here and now."

I always hear people say, "I am not self-disciplined" enough.

Sounds like a reason to explain why we fail to accomplish our goals, but if you think deeply about it, you will find that the real reason is not that we are not self-disciplinary or we don't have enough willpower.

Those who manage to read books every day don't consume willpower to do so. They are just readers.

Those who rise early and run every day don't feel friction to do so. They are just early risers and runners.

What I was trying to deliver in this episode was that, the best romance does not necessarily have to involve another person, like a perfect boyfriend, or girfriend, or someone else.

Enjoy!

But now, let's take a moment to put our admiration aside just a little bit, and instead think about what we can learn from her and be cool, too!
