1
00:00:00,508 --> 00:00:01,811
45岁学英语

2
00:00:02,148 --> 00:00:02,571
晚吗

3
00:00:03,108 --> 00:00:06,730
有个粉丝在后台问了我一个问题：你英语是怎么学的

4
00:00:07,027 --> 00:00:08,010
能给点建议吗

5
00:00:08,468 --> 00:00:10,150
这个问题看起来很简单

6
00:00:10,348 --> 00:00:11,510
但我想了很久

7
00:00:11,587 --> 00:00:14,351
发现真正的答案根本不在英语里

8
00:00:14,428 --> 00:00:17,791
它在你脑子里那套关于"学习"的认知结构里

9
00:00:17,827 --> 00:00:18,170
哈喽

10
00:00:18,507 --> 00:00:18,971
大家好

11
00:00:19,268 --> 00:00:20,190
我是王利杰

12
00:00:20,468 --> 00:00:21,591
我先交个底

13
00:00:21,867 --> 00:00:23,971
我大学毕业后考过一次雅思

14
00:00:24,307 --> 00:00:25,030
六分

15
00:00:25,468 --> 00:00:26,571
六分什么水平呢

16
00:00:27,027 --> 00:00:28,030
不高不低

17
00:00:28,228 --> 00:00:30,271
中国人学英语的一个中位数

18
00:00:30,507 --> 00:00:31,530
然后从那以后

19
00:00:31,788 --> 00:00:32,987
大概二十年

20
00:00:32,987 --> 00:00:35,030
我没有再专门学过英语

21
00:00:35,427 --> 00:00:36,371
2024年10月

22
00:00:36,667 --> 00:00:37,451
我45岁

23
00:00:37,747 --> 00:00:38,831
搬到了美国

24
00:00:39,107 --> 00:00:41,710
当我决定认真把英语学好的时候

25
00:00:41,868 --> 00:00:44,731
我做了一件很多年轻人会觉得很傻的事

26
00:00:45,268 --> 00:00:46,631
我开始背单词

27
00:00:47,067 --> 00:00:49,030
不是刷短视频学英语

28
00:00:49,107 --> 00:00:50,551
不是找老外聊天

29
00:00:50,667 --> 00:00:52,710
也不是什么沉浸式学习法

30
00:00:52,908 --> 00:00:56,911
就是最笨最土的方法 - 打开一个背单词的APP

31
00:00:57,188 --> 00:00:58,871
一个词一个词地啃

32
00:00:59,268 --> 00:01:00,250
每天六个小时

33
00:01:00,628 --> 00:01:01,790
一百个新词

34
00:01:02,307 --> 00:01:03,987
六个小时背一百个词

35
00:01:03,987 --> 00:01:05,290
听起来效率很低对吧

36
00:01:06,028 --> 00:01:08,271
因为我不是扫一眼就过的

37
00:01:08,548 --> 00:01:09,590
每个单词

38
00:01:09,707 --> 00:01:12,111
我都要把它所有的例句读一遍

39
00:01:12,347 --> 00:01:15,150
把不同语境下的用法都琢磨一遍

40
00:01:15,587 --> 00:01:17,706
遇到例句里有不认识的词

41
00:01:17,707 --> 00:01:18,950
再点进去查

42
00:01:19,507 --> 00:01:21,430
就这样一层一层地钻

43
00:01:21,628 --> 00:01:24,150
一个词能带出五六个新词

44
00:01:24,707 --> 00:01:28,831
然后还要通过APP的测试确认自己真的记住了

45
00:01:29,268 --> 00:01:30,906
第二天背新词之前

46
00:01:30,908 --> 00:01:32,911
还要先把昨天的复习一轮

47
00:01:33,427 --> 00:01:35,710
有些词三天后你又忘了

48
00:01:35,867 --> 00:01:38,191
它会自动弹回来再考你一遍

49
00:01:38,707 --> 00:01:39,891
这个过程枯燥吗

50
00:01:40,388 --> 00:01:41,430
当然枯燥

51
00:01:41,707 --> 00:01:43,507
前两周是最难熬的

52
00:01:43,507 --> 00:01:45,551
因为你觉得自己什么都记不住

53
00:01:45,668 --> 00:01:47,911
今天背的明天就忘了一半

54
00:01:48,308 --> 00:01:49,906
但我做投资十几年

55
00:01:49,908 --> 00:01:53,831
我太知道复利曲线是什么样子了 - 前面很平

56
00:01:53,947 --> 00:01:55,430
平到你怀疑人生

57
00:01:55,548 --> 00:01:56,450
但只要你不停

58
00:01:56,707 --> 00:01:58,111
后面一定会起来

59
00:01:58,427 --> 00:01:59,751
学习也是复利

60
00:02:00,067 --> 00:02:02,031
前一千个单词最痛苦

61
00:02:02,188 --> 00:02:04,271
但当你积累到三四千个的时候

62
00:02:04,388 --> 00:02:07,147
突然发现很多新词不用刻意去背了

63
00:02:07,147 --> 00:02:09,751
因为你已经掌握了它的词根和前缀

64
00:02:10,187 --> 00:02:11,667
那个加速的感觉

65
00:02:11,668 --> 00:02:14,230
和投资里的复利拐点一模一样

66
00:02:14,548 --> 00:02:16,106
就这样坚持了三个月

67
00:02:16,108 --> 00:02:17,871
我背了大概一万个单词

68
00:02:18,268 --> 00:02:20,270
然后我报了一个线下英语班

69
00:02:20,348 --> 00:02:21,510
上了四个月课

70
00:02:21,828 --> 00:02:22,691
课还没上完

71
00:02:22,948 --> 00:02:24,350
我就去考了托福

72
00:02:24,668 --> 00:02:25,290
第一次考

73
00:02:25,627 --> 00:02:26,591
97分

74
00:02:27,228 --> 00:02:29,110
托福满分120

75
00:02:29,187 --> 00:02:31,510
97已经是一个不错的分数了

76
00:02:31,627 --> 00:02:33,651
但我给自己定的目标是100分

77
00:02:34,108 --> 00:02:38,191
100分是常春藤大学录取国际学生的英语底线

78
00:02:38,427 --> 00:02:39,691
从97到100

79
00:02:39,828 --> 00:02:40,871
就差三分

80
00:02:40,948 --> 00:02:42,131
你猜我考了几次

81
00:02:42,669 --> 00:02:43,468
五次

82
00:02:43,948 --> 00:02:44,971
但整个过程中

83
00:02:45,307 --> 00:02:46,711
我一点都没慌

84
00:02:47,228 --> 00:02:48,826
因为每多考一次

85
00:02:48,828 --> 00:02:51,751
我都知道自己的地基又夯实了一层

86
00:02:52,668 --> 00:02:54,251
97到100之间的差距

87
00:02:54,508 --> 00:02:55,706
不是能力不够

88
00:02:55,707 --> 00:02:57,471
是基础还在沉淀

89
00:02:58,027 --> 00:02:58,971
而且说实话

90
00:02:59,268 --> 00:03:00,510
我为自己骄傲

91
00:03:00,867 --> 00:03:03,227
因为如果换成二十年前的我

92
00:03:03,228 --> 00:03:05,151
根本坐不下来做这件事

93
00:03:05,508 --> 00:03:06,450
我上大学的时候

94
00:03:06,907 --> 00:03:08,591
和很多年轻人一样

95
00:03:08,627 --> 00:03:10,691
是个典型的"走捷径选手"

96
00:03:11,268 --> 00:03:12,610
考试能及格就行

97
00:03:13,027 --> 00:03:14,471
绝不多花一分钟

98
00:03:14,907 --> 00:03:16,790
我上的是西安邮电大学

99
00:03:16,907 --> 00:03:18,070
不是什么名校

100
00:03:18,147 --> 00:03:19,010
但就业不错

101
00:03:19,467 --> 00:03:21,230
毕业以后我去了华为

102
00:03:21,508 --> 00:03:23,306
整个中学和大学阶段

103
00:03:23,307 --> 00:03:27,787
我基本靠天赋吃饭 - 高中之前也不算特别刻苦

104
00:03:27,788 --> 00:03:29,070
就是正常努力

105
00:03:29,147 --> 00:03:30,830
考上了一个正常的学校

106
00:03:31,128 --> 00:03:31,929
注意啊

107
00:03:31,948 --> 00:03:34,591
这里的"天赋"不是说我天赋异禀

108
00:03:34,668 --> 00:03:37,306
而是说我在不额外用功的情况下

109
00:03:37,307 --> 00:03:38,950
能考多少算多少

110
00:03:39,548 --> 00:03:40,170
有件事情

111
00:03:40,548 --> 00:03:42,390
我记得特别清楚

112
00:03:42,587 --> 00:03:45,631
当时宿舍里有同学拿着英文词典在背

113
00:03:46,108 --> 00:03:49,770
我当时特别诧异 - 词典这东西不是用来查的吗

114
00:03:50,268 --> 00:03:51,371
居然有人拿来背

115
00:03:52,147 --> 00:03:54,311
但人家就是一页一页地啃

116
00:03:54,707 --> 00:03:55,290
而我呢

117
00:03:55,828 --> 00:03:57,390
我连试都没试过

118
00:03:57,828 --> 00:03:58,570
那时候的我

119
00:03:58,867 --> 00:04:00,350
说白了就是懒

120
00:04:00,907 --> 00:04:01,730
不是学不会

121
00:04:02,187 --> 00:04:04,191
是不愿意下那个笨功夫

122
00:04:04,508 --> 00:04:07,830
这个状态一直持续到工作很多年以后

123
00:04:08,548 --> 00:04:10,050
工作我是认真的

124
00:04:10,427 --> 00:04:11,866
因为是自己选的

125
00:04:11,867 --> 00:04:12,751
也热爱

126
00:04:13,108 --> 00:04:15,230
但在"刻意学习"这件事上

127
00:04:15,307 --> 00:04:19,071
我的态度一直没变 - 能走捷径就走捷径

128
00:04:19,148 --> 00:04:20,790
能省力就省力

129
00:04:20,987 --> 00:04:23,230
直到我真正听进去了一句话

130
00:04:23,708 --> 00:04:25,550
曾国藩打太平天国的时候

131
00:04:25,668 --> 00:04:27,307
有一套出了名的战法

132
00:04:27,307 --> 00:04:28,211
叫"结硬寨

133
00:04:28,507 --> 00:04:29,091
打呆仗"

134
00:04:29,747 --> 00:04:30,370
什么意思呢

135
00:04:30,867 --> 00:04:32,050
就是不搞奇袭

136
00:04:32,427 --> 00:04:33,511
不玩花活

137
00:04:33,788 --> 00:04:34,947
每到一个地方

138
00:04:34,947 --> 00:04:37,750
先老老实实挖壕沟、筑营盘

139
00:04:37,867 --> 00:04:40,190
把自己的防守做到铁桶一样

140
00:04:40,228 --> 00:04:42,511
然后一步一步正面硬推

141
00:04:42,908 --> 00:04:43,610
别人笑他笨

142
00:04:44,028 --> 00:04:44,790
他不理

143
00:04:45,228 --> 00:04:49,550
最后太平天国就是被他这套最笨的打法磨死的

144
00:04:49,908 --> 00:04:52,190
后人总结曾国藩的做事哲学

145
00:04:52,267 --> 00:04:55,951
有一句话特别到位：聪明人也要下笨功夫

146
00:04:56,468 --> 00:04:58,630
这句话我二十岁就听过

147
00:04:59,028 --> 00:05:00,786
但那时候听了就是听了

148
00:05:00,788 --> 00:05:02,151
根本没往心里去

149
00:05:02,507 --> 00:05:03,011
为什么

150
00:05:03,627 --> 00:05:06,670
因为年轻的时候你默认自己是聪明人

151
00:05:06,827 --> 00:05:09,391
你觉得笨功夫是给笨人准备的

152
00:05:09,747 --> 00:05:12,430
你相信这个世界上一定有更快的路

153
00:05:12,788 --> 00:05:14,427
然后你工作了二十年

154
00:05:14,427 --> 00:05:15,990
做了十几年投资

155
00:05:16,028 --> 00:05:18,031
见过了无数创业者的成败

156
00:05:18,507 --> 00:05:21,391
你不得不承认一件事 - 你不是天才

157
00:05:21,507 --> 00:05:23,831
你就是一个中等水平的普通人

158
00:05:24,187 --> 00:05:26,146
那些真正做成事情的人

159
00:05:26,148 --> 00:05:28,391
没有一个是靠耍小聪明的

160
00:05:28,788 --> 00:05:29,130
所以

161
00:05:29,427 --> 00:05:31,591
如果聪明人都要下笨功夫

162
00:05:31,747 --> 00:05:34,511
那我这个普通人更没有资格偷懒

163
00:05:34,809 --> 00:05:35,608
你看

164
00:05:35,668 --> 00:05:38,310
这句话我从二十岁听到四十五岁

165
00:05:38,468 --> 00:05:41,071
花了二十五年才真正听进去

166
00:05:41,387 --> 00:05:43,906
我们有句话叫"听过那么多道理

167
00:05:43,908 --> 00:05:45,050
还是过不好这一生"

168
00:05:45,987 --> 00:05:47,670
其实不是道理不对

169
00:05:47,788 --> 00:05:50,350
是你的认知还没准备好接住它

170
00:05:50,747 --> 00:05:51,971
当你的经历够了

171
00:05:52,187 --> 00:05:53,187
阅历够了

172
00:05:53,187 --> 00:05:56,391
那句话突然就从耳朵钻到了心里

173
00:05:56,668 --> 00:05:58,391
但光有认知还不够

174
00:05:58,627 --> 00:06:01,831
你还需要一次成功的体验来给自己打底

175
00:06:02,108 --> 00:06:03,310
我的那次体验

176
00:06:03,387 --> 00:06:05,670
发生在上海疫情封控期间

177
00:06:06,108 --> 00:06:07,531
我被关在家里三个月

178
00:06:07,867 --> 00:06:08,911
哪也去不了

179
00:06:09,307 --> 00:06:11,211
与其每天刷手机焦虑

180
00:06:11,627 --> 00:06:12,951
不如做点什么

181
00:06:13,228 --> 00:06:15,031
我决定自学编程

182
00:06:15,427 --> 00:06:16,451
编程对我来讲

183
00:06:16,788 --> 00:06:18,550
比学英语难多了

184
00:06:18,747 --> 00:06:19,130
你想

185
00:06:19,427 --> 00:06:20,790
我是一个投资人

186
00:06:20,827 --> 00:06:25,511
几十年来打交道的都是人、是商业模式、是市场情绪

187
00:06:25,708 --> 00:06:28,151
代码完全是另一个宇宙的语言

188
00:06:28,387 --> 00:06:30,151
第一天打开教程的时候

189
00:06:30,228 --> 00:06:32,951
我看着屏幕上那些花花绿绿的字符

190
00:06:33,028 --> 00:06:35,230
心想这辈子不可能学会

191
00:06:35,548 --> 00:06:37,591
但我就硬着头皮每天敲

192
00:06:38,108 --> 00:06:40,750
第一周只会写最简单的打印语句

193
00:06:41,148 --> 00:06:43,951
第二周开始学条件判断和循环

194
00:06:44,468 --> 00:06:46,670
一个月以后能写小工具了

195
00:06:47,067 --> 00:06:49,831
两个月以后开始做有实际用途的东西

196
00:06:50,588 --> 00:06:51,331
三个月以后

197
00:06:51,588 --> 00:06:52,867
我不仅学会了

198
00:06:52,867 --> 00:06:54,759
还真的用它给自己开发出了

199
00:06:54,759 --> 00:06:56,870
工作中用得上的自动化工具

200
00:06:57,427 --> 00:06:59,391
这件事给了我巨大的信心

201
00:06:59,947 --> 00:07:01,471
不是对编程的信心

202
00:07:01,548 --> 00:07:04,071
而是对"学习"这件事本身的信心

203
00:07:04,507 --> 00:07:05,290
四十多岁了

204
00:07:05,548 --> 00:07:06,471
零基础

205
00:07:06,548 --> 00:07:08,091
学了一样公认很难的东西

206
00:07:08,588 --> 00:07:09,471
学会了

207
00:07:09,947 --> 00:07:13,187
那一刻我明白了一个道理：学习这件事

208
00:07:13,187 --> 00:07:15,586
最大的障碍从来不是智商

209
00:07:15,588 --> 00:07:17,271
而是你敢不敢坐下来

210
00:07:17,387 --> 00:07:19,617
只要你愿意把脑子里那些"我不行"

211
00:07:19,627 --> 00:07:22,750
"太难了"、"来不及了"的杂念排掉

212
00:07:22,867 --> 00:07:23,990
什么都可以学

213
00:07:24,187 --> 00:07:25,867
如果编程我都能学会

214
00:07:25,867 --> 00:07:27,630
那英语根本不是问题

215
00:07:28,148 --> 00:07:30,831
所以后来我到美国决定背单词的时候

216
00:07:30,908 --> 00:07:32,430
一秒钟都没犹豫

217
00:07:32,788 --> 00:07:35,250
为什么不先裸考一次托福试试水呢

218
00:07:35,788 --> 00:07:38,350
因为我知道裸考分数一定难看

219
00:07:38,507 --> 00:07:40,951
而一个难看的分数会打击信心

220
00:07:41,228 --> 00:07:42,490
我要做的是反过来

221
00:07:42,827 --> 00:07:45,391
先花三个月把一万个单词吃透

222
00:07:45,427 --> 00:07:47,507
把地基打到我自己满意了

223
00:07:47,507 --> 00:07:48,550
再去考试

224
00:07:48,668 --> 00:07:49,891
这样不管考几分

225
00:07:50,108 --> 00:07:51,350
我心里都有底

226
00:07:51,627 --> 00:07:52,011
果然

227
00:07:52,348 --> 00:07:53,391
考了97

228
00:07:53,747 --> 00:07:55,591
信心一下子就上来了

229
00:07:55,987 --> 00:07:58,146
后面虽然花了五次才过100

230
00:07:58,148 --> 00:07:59,391
但我始终很稳

231
00:07:59,668 --> 00:08:00,706
因为我知道

232
00:08:00,708 --> 00:08:03,711
每考一次就是给地基多填一层土

233
00:08:04,028 --> 00:08:06,310
而且你别小看这五次考试

234
00:08:06,507 --> 00:08:09,190
每次备考的过程本身就是在学习

235
00:08:09,548 --> 00:08:10,771
阅读速度在提高

236
00:08:11,187 --> 00:08:12,790
听力反应在加快

237
00:08:12,908 --> 00:08:14,630
写作的逻辑在变顺

238
00:08:15,028 --> 00:08:17,670
分数只是地基厚度的一个快照

239
00:08:17,987 --> 00:08:20,951
真正的收获远比那三分要大得多

240
00:08:21,507 --> 00:08:22,990
很多人可能会说

241
00:08:23,028 --> 00:08:25,387
你45岁才开始学英语

242
00:08:25,387 --> 00:08:25,930
不晚吗

243
00:08:26,548 --> 00:08:27,211
我告诉你

244
00:08:27,507 --> 00:08:28,250
不仅不晚

245
00:08:28,507 --> 00:08:29,790
反而刚刚好

246
00:08:29,987 --> 00:08:31,870
年轻的时候你坐不住

247
00:08:32,028 --> 00:08:34,211
你心里总惦记着更快的方法

248
00:08:34,427 --> 00:08:37,110
更聪明的路径、更省力的捷径

249
00:08:37,307 --> 00:08:38,551
你急于求成

250
00:08:38,707 --> 00:08:41,750
恨不得今天种下种子明天就要结果

251
00:08:42,107 --> 00:08:42,971
但到了中年

252
00:08:43,427 --> 00:08:44,870
你反而不急了

253
00:08:45,187 --> 00:08:49,030
做投资的人最清楚 - 那些死掉的创业公司

254
00:08:49,187 --> 00:08:52,267
十个里面有八个不是死于方向错误

255
00:08:52,268 --> 00:08:53,671
而是死于太急

256
00:08:54,268 --> 00:08:57,191
你见过了太多急于求成的代价以后

257
00:08:57,307 --> 00:08:59,431
你就再也不会犯这个错误了

258
00:08:59,947 --> 00:09:02,791
中年人有一个被严重低估的优势

259
00:09:02,988 --> 00:09:03,990
叫耐心

260
00:09:04,347 --> 00:09:05,831
我背单词的时候

261
00:09:06,028 --> 00:09:08,510
经常一坐就是三四个小时不动

262
00:09:09,028 --> 00:09:10,630
我以前也坐不住

263
00:09:11,067 --> 00:09:12,510
但到了这个年纪

264
00:09:12,707 --> 00:09:15,750
你脑子里那些躁动的声音安静了很多

265
00:09:16,148 --> 00:09:18,910
你不再惦记着有没有更好的方法

266
00:09:19,187 --> 00:09:21,350
不再焦虑别人学得比你快

267
00:09:21,868 --> 00:09:23,990
你就是一个词一个词地过

268
00:09:24,307 --> 00:09:26,191
过完一个就少一个

269
00:09:26,668 --> 00:09:29,990
你知道值得拥有的东西都需要时间浇灌

270
00:09:30,187 --> 00:09:31,130
就像种一棵树

271
00:09:31,467 --> 00:09:33,346
你每天浇水、等待

272
00:09:33,347 --> 00:09:34,471
你催不了它

273
00:09:34,508 --> 00:09:35,451
但只要你不停

274
00:09:35,748 --> 00:09:37,230
它一定会长出来

275
00:09:37,427 --> 00:09:39,787
所以当我45岁坐下来

276
00:09:39,788 --> 00:09:42,990
一天六个小时一个词一个词地背的时候

277
00:09:43,067 --> 00:09:44,791
我心里特别踏实

278
00:09:45,067 --> 00:09:46,746
我知道这是最慢的路

279
00:09:46,748 --> 00:09:48,270
但也是最稳的路

280
00:09:48,508 --> 00:09:50,150
速成的东西记不住

281
00:09:50,187 --> 00:09:52,907
但我花六个小时啃进去的那个单词

282
00:09:52,908 --> 00:09:54,471
它长在我脑子里了

283
00:09:54,668 --> 00:09:57,191
我儿子考过托福111分

284
00:09:57,227 --> 00:09:58,910
但他从来没背过单词

285
00:09:59,227 --> 00:10:01,150
因为他从小上国际学校

286
00:10:01,187 --> 00:10:02,990
英语是天然习得的

287
00:10:03,268 --> 00:10:05,350
他劝我不要用这种笨办法

288
00:10:05,628 --> 00:10:06,451
我没听他的

289
00:10:06,748 --> 00:10:08,630
因为我们这代人不一样

290
00:10:08,707 --> 00:10:11,390
我们整个思维方式已经是中文的了

291
00:10:11,587 --> 00:10:14,311
从中年开始重建一套语言系统

292
00:10:14,467 --> 00:10:17,307
我们自己最熟悉也最踏实的方法

293
00:10:17,307 --> 00:10:19,071
就是从背单词开始

294
00:10:19,548 --> 00:10:20,211
这不丢人

295
00:10:20,587 --> 00:10:22,350
我也不介意别人笑我笨

296
00:10:22,868 --> 00:10:24,750
这叫尊重自己的起点

297
00:10:25,028 --> 00:10:26,390
其实我一直觉得

298
00:10:26,467 --> 00:10:28,506
人这一辈子做的很多事情

299
00:10:28,508 --> 00:10:30,390
本质上都是在建地基

300
00:10:30,947 --> 00:10:33,150
投资是建认知的地基

301
00:10:33,268 --> 00:10:35,591
背单词是建语言的地基

302
00:10:35,707 --> 00:10:37,951
学编程是建逻辑的地基

303
00:10:38,268 --> 00:10:39,770
地基这东西很无聊

304
00:10:40,227 --> 00:10:41,346
没有人看得见

305
00:10:41,347 --> 00:10:42,870
也不值得发朋友圈

306
00:10:43,227 --> 00:10:45,270
但等你哪天想盖楼的时候

307
00:10:45,427 --> 00:10:48,750
你会发现 - 有地基的人随时可以动工

308
00:10:48,908 --> 00:10:51,671
没地基的人只能在沙子上画图纸

309
00:10:52,028 --> 00:10:54,471
我在投资里见过太多这种故事了

310
00:10:54,668 --> 00:10:56,787
那些看起来一夜爆发的公司

311
00:10:56,788 --> 00:10:58,230
你去扒它的历史

312
00:10:58,268 --> 00:11:01,770
创始人往往在不为人知的时候默默打了五年

313
00:11:02,107 --> 00:11:03,270
八年的地基

314
00:11:04,107 --> 00:11:06,390
那些看起来横空出世的高手

315
00:11:06,467 --> 00:11:07,951
你去了解他的过去

316
00:11:08,028 --> 00:11:10,750
一定有一段谁也不知道的笨功夫

317
00:11:11,148 --> 00:11:13,270
没有人的笨功夫是白下的

318
00:11:13,587 --> 00:11:16,530
所以回到那个粉丝的问题 - 怎么学英语

319
00:11:16,988 --> 00:11:20,270
我的回答是：这个问题的答案不在英语里

320
00:11:20,307 --> 00:11:22,191
在你对"学习"的态度里

321
00:11:22,707 --> 00:11:24,390
首先是认知准备

322
00:11:24,707 --> 00:11:26,311
承认自己不是天才

323
00:11:26,388 --> 00:11:28,870
接受笨功夫是最靠谱的方法

324
00:11:29,148 --> 00:11:30,811
你年轻的时候不愿意接受

325
00:11:31,028 --> 00:11:31,831
不要紧

326
00:11:31,947 --> 00:11:33,951
什么时候想通了都不晚

327
00:11:34,388 --> 00:11:36,030
然后是时间准备

328
00:11:36,388 --> 00:11:39,030
任何值得学好的东西都需要时间

329
00:11:39,427 --> 00:11:41,951
你不可能今天播种明天收获

330
00:11:42,388 --> 00:11:44,191
给自己一个合理的预期

331
00:11:44,347 --> 00:11:47,110
在这段时间里心无旁骛地投入

332
00:11:47,388 --> 00:11:48,870
最后是信心校准

333
00:11:48,908 --> 00:11:51,951
如果你从来没有"从零学会一样东西"的经验

334
00:11:51,988 --> 00:11:53,571
那就先找一件小事做起

335
00:11:54,028 --> 00:11:57,071
学做一道菜、学一首曲子、学编程

336
00:11:57,307 --> 00:11:58,866
重点不是学什么

337
00:11:58,868 --> 00:12:01,870
而是给自己一次"我居然做到了"的体验

338
00:12:02,268 --> 00:12:06,311
这个体验会变成你未来学任何东西的信心锚点

339
00:12:06,628 --> 00:12:09,591
最后我想说一句可能很多人不爱听的话

340
00:12:10,067 --> 00:12:11,431
学习这件事

341
00:12:11,707 --> 00:12:14,750
中年人其实比年轻人有优势

342
00:12:15,187 --> 00:12:16,691
不是因为记忆力更好

343
00:12:17,268 --> 00:12:19,471
你的记忆力确实不如二十岁

344
00:12:19,908 --> 00:12:21,551
但你更清醒

345
00:12:21,988 --> 00:12:23,410
你知道自己几斤几两

346
00:12:23,707 --> 00:12:25,071
不会自我欺骗

347
00:12:25,508 --> 00:12:26,431
你坐得住

348
00:12:26,827 --> 00:12:28,350
你不再急于求成

349
00:12:28,707 --> 00:12:30,831
你终于愿意下笨功夫了

350
00:12:31,307 --> 00:12:33,591
而"愿意下笨功夫"这件事本身

351
00:12:33,748 --> 00:12:35,390
可能比天赋更重要

352
00:12:35,908 --> 00:12:38,071
我现在回头看我这四十多年

353
00:12:38,268 --> 00:12:40,431
最大的遗憾不是智商不够

354
00:12:40,508 --> 00:12:42,591
而是太晚才想通这件事

355
00:12:43,067 --> 00:12:44,431
如果我大学的时候

356
00:12:44,548 --> 00:12:46,667
就像我那个背字典的室友一样

357
00:12:46,668 --> 00:12:48,390
老老实实地下笨功夫

358
00:12:48,467 --> 00:12:51,150
我现在的英语可能早就不是问题了

359
00:12:51,307 --> 00:12:52,610
但人生没有如果

360
00:12:53,067 --> 00:12:54,510
你什么时候开始

361
00:12:54,548 --> 00:12:56,591
什么时候就是最好的时候

362
00:12:57,307 --> 00:12:59,910
曾国藩结硬寨打呆仗的时候

363
00:13:00,187 --> 00:13:01,711
所有人都在笑他

364
00:13:02,148 --> 00:13:03,250
但最后赢的

365
00:13:03,587 --> 00:13:05,030
是那个最笨的人

366
00:13:05,508 --> 00:13:06,791
学习也一样

367
00:13:07,187 --> 00:13:08,746
别人考了一百个方法

368
00:13:08,748 --> 00:13:10,270
你就用一个笨方法

369
00:13:10,628 --> 00:13:12,591
别人三天换一个学习APP

370
00:13:12,707 --> 00:13:14,230
你就死磕一个APP

371
00:13:14,707 --> 00:13:15,971
别人在找捷径的时候

372
00:13:16,347 --> 00:13:17,510
你在打地基

373
00:13:17,827 --> 00:13:19,947
你可以搜一万种高效学习法

374
00:13:19,947 --> 00:13:21,586
但最后真正管用的

375
00:13:21,587 --> 00:13:24,990
永远是那个愿意坐下来、背一万个单词的人

376
00:13:25,347 --> 00:13:26,730
你有没有过类似的经历
