How do you find out what you're actually good at?
自分が本当に得意なことをどうやって見つければいいのでしょうか？
There's a few pointers for this.
これにはいくつかのヒントがあります。
One of them is what do you find yourself interested in?
その一つは、自分が何に興味を持っているかということです。
If you had like a whole day to yourself, what would you be choosing to do with your time?
もし丸一日自由な時間があったら、その時間を何に使いたいと思いますか？
That generally gives you some indication.
それが一般的に何らかの手がかりを与えてくれます。
Another one is what are the sorts of things that seem weirdly hard for other people?
もう一つは、他の人にとって妙に難しそうに見えることは何かということです。
There's this idea that you can't read the label from inside the bottle.
瓶の中からはラベルは読めないという考え方があります。
You're inside the bottle of your own life.
あなたは自分の人生という瓶の中にいるのです。
There's a label on that bottle, but you can't read the label because you're inside the bottle.
その瓶にはラベルが貼ってあるのに、瓶の中にいるからラベルが読めないのです。
That's something my writing coach told me at one point.
それはある時、私のライティングコーチが教えてくれたことです。
We've got to find ways, either of getting like feedback from the external world of like people telling us, "Hey, you're weirdly good at this thing." I'm often surprised by how other people find it difficult to public speak or teach, for example.
外部の世界からフィードバックを得る方法を見つける必要があります。例えば人々が「ねえ、君はこれが妙に上手だね」と教えてくれるようなことです。例えば、人前で話したり教えたりすることを他の人が難しいと感じることに、私はよく驚きます。
And I'd be speaking to other like entrepreneurs and creators and stuff, and they would struggle with content because they were very good at a thing, but they didn't know how to explain the thing to someone else.
そして他の起業家やクリエイターなどと話すと、彼らはコンテンツ作りに苦労していました。なぜなら彼らはあることがとても得意なのに、それを他の人にどう説明すればいいか分からなかったからです。
And that kind of made me realize maybe that's one of my superpowers that I'm actually good at, like breaking things down and simplifying it so I can teach it to someone.
それで気づいたんです。物事を分解してシンプルにして、誰かに教えられるようにすることが、たぶん自分のスーパーパワーの一つなんだと。
The third thing to keep in mind: even if you think you're not good at anything, you're not good at anything yet.
3つ目に覚えておくべきこと：たとえ自分は何も得意じゃないと思っても、それはまだ得意じゃないだけです。
Everything is a skill, and everything can be learned.
すべてはスキルであり、すべては学ぶことができます。
Does anyone come out of the womb knowing how to tie their shoelaces?
生まれた時から靴ひもの結び方を知っている人なんていますか？
No, and you figure it out.
いませんよね、でも結局できるようになります。
So everything is a skill, and everything can be learned, and that is an enormously liberating mindset to have life.
だからすべてはスキルであり、すべては学べるのです。それは人生においてものすごく解放的な考え方です。
