When we say, “I am a wife,” or “a mother,” or “a musician,” or “a lawyer,” we're taking one tiny sliver of our memory and identifying ourselves with it.
“You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” - Marcus Aurelius
That was a powerful quote just now, wasn’t it? Hi, it’s Hubert again with Pronunciation Challenge and I present to you a video that I feel is very important for all of us right now. I’ve been listening to Marcus Aurelius a lot these days. Marcus Aurelius was a Roman emperor from 161 to 180 and a Stoic philosopher. Stoic means a person who can endure pain or hardship without showing their feelings or complaining. I’m not gonna lie, it’s been a tough year for myself and I’m sure it has been for everyone else during this pandemic. That is why I started looking into Marcus and his teachings on life. His words still ring true in this modern age. I would say, we all need to learn a thing or two from Marcus’s teachings. If you guys have the time, make sure you read his book, Meditations. In the meantime, watch this video where we explore his teachings on how to stop caring about what others think about you! The video talks about how to be yourself wholeheartedly free from the opinions of others. Once you’re finished with that, come back to me for the featured sentence!
Today’s featured sentence: “When we say, “I am a wife,” or “a mother,” or “a musician,” or “a lawyer,” we're taking one tiny sliver of our memory and identifying ourselves with it.”
I’ll say that again.
“When we say, “I am a wife,” or “a mother,” or “a musician,” or “a lawyer,” we're taking one tiny sliver of our memory and identifying ourselves with it.”
Ok, now time for the Pronunciation Tips.
First word. Musician (myoo · zi · shen) Three syllables. “Mu” kind of sounds like the long “U” sound. “Zi” has a short “i” sound and “shn” sounds like the typical “t i e n” sound, “shun”. Musician.
Next word. Lawyer (loy·ur) Two syllables. Ok, I chose this word because there’s a debate with a fellow Voicetube host and I. She says this word is pronounced “law-yer” I say it’s pronounced “loy-yer”. What do you guys think? Comment below and tell me which side you’re on! Ok, so I go with “Loy” like the word, “soy” but with an L in front. “Ur” is like any typical “e r” ending sound. Lawyer.
And our last one for pronunciation would be some blended words! “Am a”. Don’t separate these two and instead, blend both words into what kind of sounds like the name “Anna” but with an “M” instead. “am a”.
Another one blended word would be, “Sliver of” Let the “r” roll into the word “of” to give you “rof”. Sliver of.
Moving onto Vocabulary!
The first word is: 1. Musician Definition someone who is skilled in playing music, usually as a job Used in a sentence you could say, “The concert features dancers and musicians of all nationalities."
Next word, 2. Sliver Definition a very small, thin piece of something, usually broken off something larger Used in a sentence you could say, “Just a sliver of cake for me, please - I shouldn't really be having any.”
And lastly, 3. Identify Definition: to recognize someone or something and say or prove who or what that person or thing is Used in a sentence you can say: “Even the smallest baby can identify its mother by her voice.”
Outro Hopefully some of you take what you just watched to heart. If I’m being honest, I would say I’m still in the prison of other people’s opinion of me. The way we think is habitual and we can break that habit by instilling new practices such as Marcus’s philosophies. He gives us a great perspective on things. The things he says feels like things you’ve always known but didn’t know how to put into words. Hey, if you’re unhappy and feel like nobody understands you, maybe they don’t and who cares. Just do you and don’t get caught up with what others think of you. Trust me, they’re not thinking about you as much as you think they are. In fact, they probably aren’t thinking of you at all. Live your life. You do you. Now, before you go, you know you owe me some recordings right? Get to it and even tell me your thoughts on Marcus Aurelius! I’d love to hear from you all! Alright, that about does it for me for today’s episode. See you next time!
