¶ The Stonecutter Analogy
So the other day, I was flipping through my old notebook, and I came across one of my all-time favorite quotes by Jacob Rees. I actually talked about this quote before on the Hapa Eikaiwa podcast, but it's so powerful and it stuck with me for so long that I felt like it was worth bringing up again. Jacob-Reese, I found one of my favorite quotes. Actually, this quote has been mentioned in the podcast in Hapa A-Kai'o, but it is very powerful and long time in my heart. Here's the quote.
perhaps 100 times without so much as a crack showing in it. Yet, at the 101st blow, it will split in two. And I know it was not the last blow that did it. but all that had gone before. Isn't that such a great image? I mean, just think about that stonecutter, hammering away over and over with zero visible progress. But still showing up. Still swinging. That really hit home for me. その名言は次のようなものです。 何をやってもうまくいかないとき
I'm going to look at the石切職人. I'm going to look at the石切職人. I'm going to look at the石切職人. I'm going to look at the石切職人. I'm going to look at the石切職人. I'm going to look at the石切職人. That's a wonderful example, isn't it? Do you think about the石切職人? Sometimes we get caught in that same cycle. We try our best. We work hard. We put in the hours. But it feels like nothing's changing. No big results. No immediate wins. And because we're not seeing those instant results, it's easy to start thinking,
What's the point? A lot of us quit at blow number 91, not realizing we might be just 10 hits away from breaking through. That's the frustrating part, right? You never know how close you are. There is no big success, and there is no result. And we can't see the result immediately, so we can't see the result of what we're doing.
It's a lot of people who are 91 times in the試み, but it's actually 10 times in the car. It's a lot of weird things. It's a lot of weird things. I don't know how much I can do it. I think we often imagine success as something that happens in one big dramatic moment like some magical decision or breakthrough action but in reality
It's not about one big hit. It's about all the little ones that came before it. It's about showing up every single day and putting in the work, even when it feels like it's not making a difference. Because it is. Every swing of the hammer counts, even if the rock looks the same. But what is the reality of the fact? The success is not a big hit. That's why. That applies to learning English too. Maybe you've been studying for months, even years.
And you feel stuck. Your speaking hasn't improved the way you hoped. Or you're still making the same mistakes. Trust me, I get it. It's frustrating. But just like the stonecutter... Your effort is building up. You just can't see the crack yet. Keep going. Keep practicing. Keep swinging. That 101st hit might be closer than you think. This can be used in English. It might be possible to learn a few months or a few years, but it might be possible to feel the strength of learning.
同じ間違いを繰り返していると感じているかもしれませんその気持ちは私にもよくわかりますもどかしいですよねしかしこの石切り職人のように You have to do it. But you can only see that you can't see. So don't forget. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. 101回目の打撃は思っているよりずっと近いかもしれません。 The progress might be invisible now, but it's happening. Don't give up before the rock breaks. Keep hammering away. . . . . .

¶ Host's Reflections and Wrap-up
Awesome job today. Thinking back, I totally get what Kelly and Kara were saying. When I first started making YouTube videos about 10 years ago, I had to record myself talking to the camera. and it felt super awkward, especially when I tried filming in public, like at restaurants or walking around downtown. I was so self-conscious that I couldn't really be myself. I still remember holding up a selfie stick and walking through different parts of LA, feeling like everyone was staring at me.
Back then, it wasn't as common to see people vlogging or taking selfies, so it definitely felt weird. Things have changed a lot since then. Now you see people snapping selfies everywhere you go. But even now, I'm way more comfortable filming when I have other people with me. Solo selfie videos are still tough for me. お疲れ様です。過去を振り返ってみると、
Kerry and Kailan said that it was good to know. About 10 years ago, when I started watching YouTube videos, I didn't want to talk to the camera. It was really embarrassing. Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles. I feel like everyone is watching me. It was really embarrassing me. At the time, I felt a lot of people like V-LOG or selfie. I felt a lot of strange things. Then, many things changed. Before we wrap up...
