What is the one piece of advice for someone in their twenties?
20代の人へのアドバイスを一つだけ挙げるとしたら何ですか？
I got this question the other day when I was doing a workshop here in Hong Kong, and some guy came up to me and he said, "I just turned twenty, and I want like just one piece of advice.
先日ここ香港でワークショップをしていた時にこの質問を受けて、ある男性が僕のところに来てこう言ったんです、「ちょうど20歳になったばかりで、アドバイスを一つだけ欲しいんです。
If you could only tell me one thing, what should I do?
一つだけしか教えてもらえないとしたら、何をすべきですか？
" And I thought for a little bit, and what I told him was, listen to one audio book every week for the next fifty-two weeks, and I guarantee your life will change.
」少し考えて、僕はこう答えました、今後52週間、毎週オーディオブックを1冊聴きなさい、そうすれば人生が変わることを保証するよ、と。
And I genuinely stand by this advice.
僕はこのアドバイスを心から支持しています。
I think it's amazing.
本当に素晴らしいことだと思います。
This is not sponsored by any audio book company or about it, etc., etc.
これはオーディオブック会社からの提供とかそういうのではありません、などなど。
But like genuinely, for pretty much anything that you want to do in life, whether you want to start a business, whether you want to improve your relationship, if you're trying to
でも本当に、人生でやりたいことならほぼ何でも、ビジネスを始めたいとか、人間関係を改善したいとか、何か
grow in some kind of domain, you could just
何かの分野で成長したいなら、ただ
listen to an audio book about the thing every week,
毎週そのことについてのオーディオブックを聴けばいいんです、
and it would probably just change your life.
そうすればおそらく人生が変わるでしょう。
Right?
ですよね？
Like there's so much effort that goes into producing books.
本を作るのにはものすごい労力がかけられているんです。
I've got my own book took like three years of work from me.
僕自身の本も3年がかりの仕事でした。
Took so much work from like professional editors in like two people in the US, one in the UK with professional agent and stuff.
アメリカに2人、イギリスに1人のプロの編集者やプロのエージェントなど、とても多くの労力がかかりました。
And then I spent three whole days of my life like painstakingly recording the audio book.
そしてオーディオブックの収録のために丸3日間をかけて丹念に録音したんです。
Like the amount of time input that goes into like the generation of an audio book per unit of time that it takes you to consume
消費にかかる時間あたりのオーディオブックの制作に投入される時間の量は
is absolutely astronomical compared to short form social media content or YouTube videos or podcasts.
ショート動画やYouTube動画、ポッドキャストと比べると本当に桁違いなんです。
You're sort of just getting a firmware update in your mind when you listen to audiobooks.
オーディオブックを聴くことは、頭にファームウェアのアップデートをかけるようなものなんです。
And like, of course, reading is better because you can take notes and stuff.
もちろん、メモが取れるから読書の方が良いんですけど。
But like, most of us don't really have time to read that much and you know take notes from everything, etc., etc.
でも、ほとんどの人はそんなに読書してメモを取る時間なんてないですよね、などなど。
So if in doubt, honestly, I think that that would be my one piece of advice for someone who's twenty years old.
だから迷ったら、正直に言って、それが20歳の人への僕の一つのアドバイスだと思います。
Just like, bro, listen to an audiobook every single week, and I hundred percent guarantee your life will change.
とにかく、毎週オーディオブックを1冊聴いて、100パーセント保証するけど人生は変わるよ。
