Past simple

I'm Leo, and I've got some exciting stuff lined up for us today.

It's great to be here again, and I'm eager to dive into today's topic with all of you.

Today, we're going to talk about how to harness inspiration from the amazing people around us and not feel intimidated.

Yes, and we'll also explore how recognizing your own strengths can propel you forward.

Get ready for a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, everyone.

Well, I think it's easy to feel a bit scared when we see others doing well, but it's important to turn that feeling into inspiration.

When you see someone doing well, don't feel jealous.

Yes, and it's not about copying them, exactly.

It's about understanding their methods and maybe using some of their ideas in our own way.

It's like taking pieces from different puzzles and putting them together in your own way.

I remember when I first started out in broadcasting.

I was really inspired by a senior who could handle live shows flawlessly.

Watching her helped me refine my own skills.

For me, it was a friend who was always creating new things.

His projects weren't always successful, but his brave and creative spirit inspired me.

He made me want to try more and fear less.

It's important to learn from people we admire, right?

Instead of feeling bad, we should see them as guides showing us what we can achieve, too.

And how should one approach setting personal goals?

Well, it's important to focus on what you can really do.

Set goals that match your skills and your life, not other people's.

But isn't it motivating to see others succeed?

It is, but it's better to use their success for inspiration, not comparison.

So, it's about knowing where I am and planning from there?

Yes, by knowing your starting point and setting goals that fit your skills, you are more likely to reach them and be happy.

But even if it's right, it's hard for people to accept that someone else is much better than they are now.

So, how can someone feel confident in that situation?

Leo, it's all about believing in yourself.

Everyone has things they are good at and not so good at.

Just because you haven't found your special skill yet doesn't mean you don't have one.

Finding what we're really good at doesn't happen fast.

We need to try different things to find out what we are good at.

And it's not just about finding what we're good at, but also what we enjoy.

That's how we discover our special talents.

Sometimes you try something new and it just fits.

Like when I started playing guitar, I didn't know I would enjoy it so much.

Every new thing we try is a chance to learn more about ourselves.

So, once someone knows their strengths, how can they use them well?

First, it's about seeing chances where these strengths can shine.

Let's say someone is really good at speaking in public.

They should look for chances to talk at meetings or events.

And what if you're just finding out what you're good at?

Also, be with people who help and support you.

It's not just knowing your strengths, but also using and getting better at them.

Gwen, some people feel scared when others do well.

Instead of feeling scared, we should use others' success to make us try harder and learn.

How can someone start to think more about growing?

Also, enjoy learning, not just the final result.

It's not a step back, but a step forward.

You learn from what doesn't work, which is as important as what does work.

Scared, meaning causing fear, frightening.

Example, it's easy to feel a bit scared when we see others doing well.

Inspired, meaning filled with the urge to do something creative or beneficial.

Example, I was really inspired by a senior who could handle live shows flawlessly.

Skills, meaning the ability to do something well, often gained through training or experience.

Example, by knowing your start point and setting goals that fit your skills, you are more likely to reach them.

Confident, meaning feeling or showing confidence in oneself, self-assured.

Example, so how can someone feel confident in that situation?

Talents, meaning natural aptitude or skill.

Example, that's how we discover our special talents.

What does Gwen suggest one should do when feeling intimidated by the success of others?

Gwen suggests that instead of feeling bad or scared, one should use the success of others as inspiration and learn from them.

She emphasizes seeing successful people as guides who show what can be achieved.

According to Leo and Gwen, how should one use the achievements of others to benefit their own growth?

Leo and Gwen suggest that instead of feeling jealous or comparing oneself to others, one should focus on learning from others' successes and applying those lessons to improve themselves.

They encourage understanding the methods of others and integrating them into one's own unique way.

Gwen, I've been thinking about how we can get better.

What do you think about asking for feedback and finding a mentor?

It helps us know what we are good at and what we need to improve.

Speaking of improving, what about getting a mentor?
