每日口說挑戰不用擔心別人看法的理由 (A Reason Not to Worry What Others Think)

☺The painting shows a superficially bucolic scene: ships are taking sail, a shepherd is tending to his flock, distant cities look prosperous and ordered. But in the bottom right hand corner of the canvas, a tragedy is unfolding, all but unheeded.
這幅畫表面上呈現出一種田園風光：船隻正在啟航，有個牧羊人正在照顧他的羊群，遠處的城市看起來繁榮有序。但是在畫面的右下角，幾乎沒有人注意到，有場悲劇正在發生。
【心得】很難不去在乎別人對自己的評價，但越依賴/在乎別人的評價，就越不能做好自己。

Introduction
Howdy, VoiceTubers! How are you going? Good? Good. Let’s keep it that way.

Do you get easily swayed by others? Like what they say about you affects how you feel despite how you try not to let it? Yeah, I feel you.

But our video today looks at how not to give a care about what other people think, and to do so, the video introduces us to a painting called Icarus and the Perils of Flight. For those familiar with Greek mythology, Icarus is someone who flew too close to the sun and fell as a result - all and all a big tragedy. However, the painting shows stunning scenes and how people are busy with life, and that no one really cares when Icarus falls to his death. Just check out our sentence of the day and you’ll see:
