Attractor Factor Main Text
Hello, welcome to the next lesson.  This is AJ from EffortlessEnglishClub.com.  Let’s
start our next lesson the “Attractor Factor.”
The Attractor Factor is the name of a book by Joe Vitale.  Joe Vitale is an interesting
man.  He is an Internet marketer and businessman.  He’s kind of a marketing
expert, especially for Internet marketing.  But, he also writes about very general
topics, about how to achieve your goals and how to reach your dreams in life.
He’s a very positive man.  He has a lot of energy, a very interesting and creative
guy.  I really like him.  I use some of his information and skills that he teaches.  I use
it for my own business, for my own Internet marketing.
He wrote this book The Attractor Factor as a more general book to help everybody
get what they want in life, to help everybody achieve their dreams.  The Attractor
Factor is a quite simple book, a very simple idea and yet it’s very powerful.  Joe
believes that we attract things to our life.  And how do we do that?  With our
thinking and our emotion.
So for example, if we always think very positive thoughts and we always have very
strong positive emotions, he believes we will attract positive things and positive
people into our life.  On the other hand, if we think about negative things, problems
all the time, and we’re always feeling negative, frustrated, angry, sad or depressed,
than we will attract more negative stuff into our life.  It’s the basic idea of The
Attractor Factor.
And so, he states very strongly and clearly that we have to be careful what we focus
on, what we think about and which feelings we feel during every day.  Because of
course, we want to attract, bring, positive things into our life, things and people and
events.  So, I’m going to read a little bit from The Attractor Factor and then I’ll talk
more about it.  Here we go.
Most people I talk to every day know what they don’t want.  ‘I don’t want this
backache.  I don’t want this headache.  I don’t want these bills.  I don’t want to
struggle in my business.’  You know the list.  You have one of your own.
Unfortunately, that’s where most of us stop.
The nature of our conversations, the nature of our newspaper reporting, the nature
of our radio and television shows and our talk shows surround us with ideas of what
we don’t want.

It feels good to complain.  We don’t feel alone.  We feel heard.  We feel relieved.  We
feel understood.  Sometimes we even get answers that make our problems easier.
But, what we don’t realize is that we are activating the attractor force in a negative
way.
When we say ‘I don’t want these bills’ our focus is on bills.  The spirit of life will
deliver whatever you focus on.  So if you’re talking about your bills you’ll get more
bills.  You’ll attract it by spending energy on it.
Most people live on the level of fear.  As Eleanor Moody wrote, ‘Let us remember
that fear is only wrongly directed faith.  We are having faith in things we do not
want rather than having faith in things we desire.’
Again, this is the level most people live at.  It isn’t bad, it just isn’t very positive.
And it probably isn’t getting you the health, wealth or happiness you want.
Unfortunately, we seldom take this process to level two.  It’s a rare person, it’s a
special person, who will stop complaining, stop fighting and stop fearing long
enough to focus on the opposite of what they are experiencing.  Yet this level brings
miracles and the manifestations that we want.
Knowing what you don’t want is the springboard to your miracles.  It’s the
springboard to knowing what you do want.  Knowing what you don’t want is simply your current reality and current reality can be changed.  So it’s important as a first
step to remove negativity.  One way to protect yourself from the negative influences
of the world is to abstain from them.
I remember how Jack Canfield forbad any negativity in his office.  I love the idea.  I
don’t watch the news or read the newspapers.  Because after a while, you begin to
see how you are given only one-sided, very negative news.  None of the news is
designed to help your well-being.
But you also have to watch your friends.  The people around you will share their
views of the world with you.  And sometimes it’s not easy to separate their views
from your view.  If your friends are very negative you must be very, very careful.
Okay, that’s the end of the section from The Attractor Factor by Joe Vitale.
And so, he’s really just talking about negative thinking, negative focus and Joe
Vitale and many others talk about this same very basic idea.  You get what you
focus on.  If you focus on problems you get more problems.  If you focus on being
poor you stay poor.  If you focus on not having enough money, you continue not to
have enough money.
Thinking can create reality is the idea.  What you focus on becomes real and stays
real.  So he’s saying if you focus on negative things you get more of those negative
things.  So what’s important is to change from negative focus to positive focus.

For example, don’t focus on being fat.  You say oh, I’m fat.  I don’t want to be fat.  I
don’t want to be fat.  I don’t want to be fat.  You will attract more fatness.  You’ll
stay fat.  Why?  Because you’re focused on fat and you’re focused on being fat, but
you have to change that a little bit and make it a positive focus.
For example, you say I want to be strong, healthy and thin.   It’s a small change
that’s really easy to do, but it will make a big difference.  So, you start focusing all
your mental energy on being strong, healthy, thin; strong, healthy, thin; strong,
healthy, thin and that’s what you focus on.  As you focus every day, every moment,
every hour, every minute on being strong, healthy and thin you will attract strength,
happiness and thinness into your life.
In other words, your brain will start to find solutions.  Your brain will take the
appropriate actions to get what you are focusing on.  So be very careful about this.
It’s okay as a first step; step one decide what do you not want.  What are you sick of
in your life?  That’s fine.  You can say I’m sick of being bad at English.  I’m sick of
being a terrible speaker.  That’s okay that’s step one, but you have to go to step
two, to level two and that is decide what you do want.
What’s the positive thing you want that’s what you have to focus on all the time?
So you decide, I will speak excellent English.  And every minute, in every day, in
every month, in every year you focus on the positive thing.  I will speak excellent
English.  I will speak excellent English.
You don’t think about the problems.  You don’t think about the mistakes.  You don’t
think about the negative bad thing that you don’t want.  You focus on the positive
thing that you do want.
And you know it’s easy to fall into the negative thinking.  I do it too.  With the
business sometimes, I’ll think oh we’re having problems.  We don’t have enough
sales this week.  And then, I’m thinking all week, we don’t have enough sales, we
don’t have enough sales, we don’t have enough sales and that’s what I’m focusing
on.  What happens?  We continue to have low sales.
I have to, you know, smack myself in the face and jump around, do something to
break my negative thinking and I focus then on the positive.  We will have great
sales this week.  We will have great sales every month.  Our sales are increasing
and I think about that again and again. I actually made a little picture and I put it on the wall with our sales goal.  We will
have this many sales every week.  And I look at that and I remind myself of the
positive goal, the positive thing.  And so, you know, our business does get better.
I’m focused on solutions.  I’m focused on the positive not just complaining.

So, that’s the basic idea very, very simple, but it can make a very big change in
your life if you do it constantly, all the time.
So good luck, please do this.  Take your negative complaining beliefs and ideas and
statements and change them into positive statements, what you do want.  And then
every day focus on those things that you do want.  You will bring those things to
you, just by focusing on them.  You don’t have to do anything else, just by focusing
on them every day all the time they will come to you.
And that is the end of The Attractor Factor by Joe Vitale.
See you for the vocabulary.

Attractor Factor Vocabulary Text
Hello, this is AJ.  Welcome to the vocabulary lesson for the “Attractor Factor.”  Now
the vocabulary lesson is sometimes a little…not so exciting, right?  It’s probably the
least exciting lesson, so it’s even more important that you breathe and you bring
your shoulders back and you move your body during this lesson.
You have to keep your energy high so you’ll focus, so you’ll concentrate on the
vocabulary lesson.  Are you feeling good?  Wake up!  Let’s do it!
 Our first word is activate (verb is to activate).
And Joe said we don’t realize that we are activating the attractor force in a negative
way.  Activate really means to turn on.  That’s all it means.  It means something was
off before or something was not happening, something was not working and then
suddenly you turn it on, suddenly it is working.  Suddenly it is happening.
So if you activate the attraction force, the attraction power, it just means you turned
it on, right?  It was off before now you’re turning it on.  Now you are causing it to
start.
 Our second word is manifestation (verb is to manifest)
A manifestation just means a happening.  It means something becomes real.  It
means to become real if you’re using it as a verb, to manifest.  To manifest means
to become real.  So, you could say my idea manifested.  It became real.  Before it
was only in your head, it was an idea.
For example, I have this goal, this dream to speak English well.  Then, finally, I
speak English well.  You can say I manifested my idea.  The idea manifested, it
became real.  Before it was an idea and now it’s real.  So a manifestation is a thing
that becomes real.
All right, he’s saying if you focus on these positive things with your mind, eventually
they will become real.  They will become real manifestations, real things or real
happenings.
Our next word is springboard.
He says that your dreams are your springboard to miracles.  A springboard is
something that begins a process, something that causes a beginning or a start.  It

gives a little push, it gives some power.  It comes from like a diving board, like in the
Olympics, the swimmers, you know they climb up and they jump up and down and
then they jump into the water.  They’re standing on that board, right?  That board is
a springboard.  It pushes them up into the air and helps them go higher.
So a springboard is anything that gives more energy to something, especially at the
beginning.  It gives energy to something you are starting.  So, if you have a dream it
will give energy.  It will give energy to you so that it will become real.  It gives a big
start.
All right, so a springboard, something that gives energy, something that starts
something, causes something to start.  So dreams are springboards to miracles.
Dreams cause miracles.  Dreams give energy to miracles.  Dreams cause miracles
to start.  They’re a springboard to miracles.
Our next word or actually phrase is to abstain from.
So, he says you need to abstain from negative influences.  To abstain from means to
avoid, to not eat, to not drink, to not listen to or to not use something.  Say I am abstaining from alcohol.  It means I’m not using alcohol.  I am not drinking alcohol.
I am avoiding alcohol.
So he says you need to abstain from negative thoughts, negative influences.  Avoid
negative influences.  Don’t listen to negative influences or people or things.  Abstain
from them, avoid them.
And then he said that Jack Canfield forbid negativity in his office.  And to forbid
means to deny.  It means to not let something happen.  You say “no!”  I forbid you
to drive the car.  It means I will not let you drive the car.  I deny you.  I stop you
from driving the car.  Okay, so forbid has this idea of to prevent, to stop, to deny
and to forbid someone from doing something.
He forbade negativity.  He said no negativity in this office.  No one can be negative
in my office, in my business.  His employees, he forbid them from being negative.
He would not let them be negative.  He stopped them.  He denied them from doing
it.
And that is all of the vocabulary for the “Attractor Factor”, a shorter vocabulary
lesson for this one.  I hope you enjoyed it.
See you next for the mini-story.  Bye-bye.

Attractor Factor POV Text
Hello, welcome to the POV (Point of View) mini-stories for “Attractor Factor.”  Let’s
begin.
Since starting 10 years ago, Eve has felt bad.  She has felt tried every day.  She has
had no energy.  This started 10 years ago.  Before 10 years ago she felt great, but
since 10 years ago…you know until now, until recently…she has felt very tried.  She
has not had energy. She hasn’t had energy.
In fact, starting 10 years ago she has gotten sick all the time.  She has frequently
gotten sick, since 10 years ago until recently.  And during that time she has tried
many different things.  She tired exercise one time, it did not help.  She tried
various medicines and drugs, but none of them helped.
So, since 10 years ago, during this time she has been very frustrated.  She has been
frustrated because she felt bad.  She has been frustrated because she couldn’t find
a solution.  Until one day she decided to abstain from eating mice.  So on that day
she decided “no more mice.”  She was surprised.  After a few days she felt better.
And she felt better, stronger and more healthy, it was amazing.
And so, she forbid her kittens from eating mice, too.  And they began to feel
healthier and stronger.  She thought “wow!”  And this became the springboard for a
whole new healthy life.  It was the sudden beginning of a whole new healthy life.
Abstaining from mice was the springboard to a whole new healthy life for Eve and
for her kittens.
And so next she abstained from eating fish, too, and she felt even better.  So, she
forbid her kittens from eating fish and they felt even better.  Wow, she was feeling
great.  So finally, she decided to abstain from drinking beer.  She stopped drinking
beer, no more beer and she felt outstanding!
Now, of course, she did not forbid her kittens from drinking beer because we all
know that kittens need beer to grow.  So her kittens continued to drink beer, but
they abstained from mice and they abstained from fish and they felt great, too.  And
so, as a result, Eve and all her kittens became healthy and happy and had lots and
lots of energy.
All right, that’s the end of our first story.
Next, we’re going to the future.  This is an idea for a future story.  I’m going to tell
you about a story that might happen in the future.
For example, there will be a cat named Eve.  She’s going to be sick all the time.  In
fact, she will have been sick for maybe 10, maybe 15 years.  So she will have been
sick that entire time, staring 10 years in the past and then going into the present.
So, she’ll have been sick for a long time.
But one day she’s going to decide to abstain from eating mice.  She will stop eating
mice and she’s going to feel better.  She’ll feel healthier.  She’ll have more energy.
She’ll stop getting sick.  So she’ll forbid her kittens from eating mice also and
they’re going to feel great.  They’re going to feel stronger and healthier and have
more energy, too.
This will become the springboard to a whole new life for Eve and her kittens.  The
beginning, the sudden powerful beginning of a whole new life, the springboard.
So next she’s going to abstain from eating fish, too.  She’ll stop eating fish and
she’ll feel even better, more energy, more health, feeling fantastic.  So, of course,
she’ll forbid her kittens from eating fish and they’ll feel better, more energy, more fantastic.
And, finally, she’ll make a very difficult and big decision.  She’ll abstain from
drinking from drinking beer.  She’ll stop drinking beer.  Now, of course, she won’t
forbid her kittens from drinking beer because kittens need beer to grow, but Eve will
stop, she’ll stop drinking beer.
And, the result?  Eve’s going to feel super amazing, outstanding!  Her kittens will
feel outstanding!  They will all be healthy and energetic and have a lot of energy
and just feel fantastic!  They’re going to be super fantastic healthy cats.
And, that is the end of the POV stories for “Attractor Factor.”
I hope you’re feeling strong and healthy, too.  Deep breath, move your body, big
smile.
See you next time.

апробацию в 2011 и в 2012 годах, а теперь решил представить на конкурс)
Ход урока:
    1. Целеполагание:
Учитель:  Май 1970 года. В Дагестане произошло землетрясение,
вызвавшее значительные разрушения сел и городов. Многие школы и больницы
находились в аварийном состоянии…
Тогда вся наша страна протянула руку помощи Дагестану, началось
восстановление   сел   и   городов,   а   тысячи   детей   были   направлены   в   Российские
школы   для   продолжения   учебы.   Мне   посчастливилось   тогда   учиться   в   7   и   8
классах в городе СпасКлепики Рязанской области, в той самой школе, в которой в 19091912 годах учился великий русский поэт С.А. Есенин. Тогда она называлась
СпасКлепиковская учительская школа. Хотя Есенин и получил диплом сельского
наставника, он не стал работать учителем, а я, как видите, не стал поэтом. В 2010
году исполнилось 115 лет со дня рождения С. Есенина, а после того трагического
землетрясения   прошло   40   лет.   Поэтому   данный   урок   мы   посвятим   памяти   С.
Есенина   и   попробуем   повторить   раздел   «Тепловые   явления»,   используя   его
стихотворения.

отвечать на вопросы учителя. За каждую правильно установленную связь, за
каждый   правильный   ответ   ученик   получает   по   одной   копейке.   (Милые
копейки,   вам   не   нашлось   применения   в   экономике   страны,   так
послужите же образованию!).

Стихотворение «Под венком лесной ромашки…»
Под венком лесной ромашки
Я строгал, чинил челны,
Уронил кольцо милашки
В струи пенистой волны.
Лиходейная разлука,
Как коварная свекровь
Унесла колечко щука,
С ним – милашкину любовь.
Не нашлось мое колечко,
Я пошел с тоски на луг,
Мне вдогон смеялась речка:
«У милашки новый друг».
Не пойду я к хороводу:
Там смеются надо мной,
Повенчаюсь в непогоду
С перезвонною волной.
Связь: тепловое расширение, внутренняя энергия…
1. Вспомните   тепловое   расширение   тел   и   ответьте   на   вопрос:   как
изменятся внутренний и внешний диаметры колечка при попадании в
холодную воду? 2. А как изменятся диаметры при попадании колечка из воды в желудок
щуки?
             Стихотворение «Хороша была Танюша…»
             Хороша была Танюша, краше не было в селе,
             Красной рюшкою по белу сарафан на подоле.
             У оврага за плетнями ходит Таня ввечеру,
             Месяц в облачном тумане водит тучами игру.
             Вышел парень, поклонился кучерявой головой:
             «Ты прощай ли, моя радость, я женюся на другой».
             Побледнела, словно саван, схолодела, как роса,
             Душегубкоюзмеёю развилась ее коса.
             «Ой ты, парень синеглазый, не в обиду я скажу,
             Я пришла тебе сказаться: за другого выхожу».
             Не заутренние звони, а венчальный переклик,
             Скачет свадьба на телегах, верховые прячут лик.
             Не кукушки загрустили – плачет Танина родня.
             На виске у Тани рана от лихого кистеня.
             Алым венчиком кровинки запеклися на челе,
             Хороша была Танюша, краше не было в селе.

2. Почему на морозе лицо становится бледным, а в жару краснеет?
3. Чтобы согреть замерзшие руки, мы выдыхаем на них, чтобы остудить ожог

Стихотворение «Гой ты, Русь, моя родная…»
Гой ты, Русь, моя родная,
Хаты – в ризах образа…
Не видать конца и края –
Только синь сосет глаза.
Как захожий богомолец,
Я смотрю твои поля.
А у низеньких околиц
Звонно чахнут тополя.
Пахнет яблоком и медом
По церквам твой кроткий Спас,
И гудит за косогором
На лугах веселый пляс.
Побегу по мягкой стежке
На приволь зеленых лех,
Мне навстречу, как сережки,
Прозвенит девичий смех.
Если крикнет рать святая:
«Кинь ты Русь, живи в раю!» Я скажу: «не надо рая,
Дайте родину мою».

1. Объясните с физической точки зрения третий куплет стихотворения?
Основной воспитательный момент урока (Проблема главная): (за активное
участие до 5 копеек)
Разве может человек, истинно не любящий свою родину, написать: «Не надо
рая, дайте родину мою!». Давайте посмотрим, кто из нас может сказать эти
слова от души.
Дорогие дети,  мы живем в  сложное время,  когда идет жестокая борьба
между   добром   и   злом,   любовью   и   ненавистью,   красотой   и   уродством,
патриотизмом и предательством. Я вам этого не желаю, но порой человек
может   попасть   в   такую   ситуацию,   что   он   вынужден   выбирать   между
предательством и жизнью. Перед вами листы с десятью заповедями для
каждого человека «Нельзя предать». (Лист в презентации, прилагается).
Представьте, что вы действительно попали в такую ситуацию и вынуждены
когото предать ради спасения своей жизни. Кого вы предадите в первую
очередь, во вторую и т.д.  (против каждой заповеди поставьте цифры от 1
до 7) и оставьте  три из  них, за которые вы  готовы пожертвовать своей
жизнью…
Берегите Родину, мать и веру пока мы свободны; в рабстве или в
независимости сделать это будет значительно труднее. Потому: Учись
добросовестно! Живи достойно! Трудись честно! Люби и защищай РОДИНУ! Она,
как и мать, у каждого человека одна! (С. Мутаилов)
Стихотворение «Заглушила засуха засевки»
Заглушила засуха засевки,
Сохнет рожь, и не всходят овсы.
На молебен с хоругвями девки
Потащились в комьях полосы.
Собрались прихожане у чащи,
Лихоманную грусть затая.
Загузынил дьячишко ледащий:
«Спаси, Господи, люди твоя».
Открывались небесные двери,
Дьякон бавкнул из кряжистых сил:
«Еще молимся, братья о вере,
Чтобы бог нам поля оросил».
Заливались веселые птахи,
Крапал брызгами поп из горстей.
Стрекотуньи  сороки, как свахи
Накликали дождливых гостей.
Зыбко пенились зори за рощей,
Как холстины плыли облака,
И туманно по быльнице тощей
Меж кустов ворковала река. Скинув шапки, молясь и вздыхая,
Говорили промеж мужики:
«Колосиласьто ярь неплохая,
Да сгубили сухие деньки».
На коне – черной тучице на санках
Билось пламя шлея… синь и дрожь.
И кричали парнишки в еланках:
«Дождик, дождик, полей нашу рожь!»
Связь: растительный мир и климат…
1. Почему высыхала рожь?
2. Почему в жару листья растений и деревьев скручиваются?
3. Почему   мелкие   животные   или   насекомые   в   жару   поднимаются   на
кустарники или травы?
4. Почему в такую жару на мужиках были шапки?
            Стихотворение «Годы молодые с забубенной славой»
           …«Эй, ямщик, неси вовсю! Чай, рожден не слабым!
           Душу вытрясти не жаль по таким ухабам».
           А ямщик в ответ одно: «По такой метели
           Очень страшно, чтоб в пути лошади вспотели».
           «Ты, ямщик, я вижу, трус. Это не с руки нам!»
           Взял я кнут и ну стегать по лошажьим спинам.
           Бью, а кони, как метель, снег разносят в хлопья.
           Вдруг толчок… и из саней прямо на сугроб я.
           Встал и вижу: что за черт – вместо бойкой тройки…
           Забинтованный лежу на больничной койке.

intro:
Май 1970 года. В Дагестане произошло землетрясение, вызвавшее значительные разрушения сел и городов. Многие школы и больницы находились в аварийном состоянии…
Тогда вся наша страна протянула руку помощи Дагестану, началось восстановление сел и городов, а тысячи детей были направлены в Российские школы для продолжения учебы. Мне посчастливилось тогда учиться в 7 и 8 классах в городе Спас-Клепики Рязанской области, в той самой школе, в которой в 1909-1912 годах учился великий русский поэт С.А. Есенин. Тогда она называлась Спас-Клепиковская учительская школа. Хотя Есенин и получил диплом сельского наставника, он не стал работать учителем, а я, как видите, не стал поэтом. В 2015 году исполнилось 115 лет со дня рождения С. Есенина, а после того трагического землетрясения прошло 45 лет. Поэтому данный урок мы посвятим памяти С. Есенина и попробуем повторить раздел «Тепловые явления», используя его стихотворения.Сценарий проблемно-эвристического урока

Healthy Heart Main Text
Hi, this is AJ, welcome to the next lesson.  This one is called “Healthy Heart” and I’m
going to talk about, again, a section from Healthy at 100 -- the book Healthy at 100
-- by John Robbins.  I’ve already talked about it a little bit and I’m going to talk about
a different section this time.
And in this section John Robbins talks about another factor that contributes to a long
and healthy life.  Now before we talked about diet and what you eat and how that
can really affect your healthy, your longevity, meaning how long you live, how
strong you are, everything.
Well there’s another very important factor other than diet.  Diet is very important,
but another important factor that John Robbins found when he studied all these
people who were 100 years old or more and they were still strong, still healthy, well
he found something else.

So a kind of vegan diet, that was number one, but the next thing he found was
these people have strong social ties.  They have rich social lives.  It means they’re
not alone.  They have friends, they have family.  They have communities.  They’re
connected to other people in many, many ways.  And so what he found was that
emotion and love and caring and connection were equally important to diet and
exercise.  They’re both very important.
So let me read a section from his book -- the same book -- Healthy at 100 and then
I’ll talk more about it.  Here we go.
”’We cannot live for ourselves alone,’ wrote Herman Melville.  ‘A thousand fibers
connect us with our fellow men.  Perhaps this explains why we are often moved by
people caring deeply for one another.’  ‘There are also medical implications to
whether we think of others or only of ourselves,’ as Larry Scherwitz found when he
conducted a most unusual study.  He is now the Director of Research at California
Pacific Medical Center’s Institute for Health and Healing in San Francisco.
“Dr. Scherwitz taped the conversations of nearly 600 men.  About one-third of these
men were suffering from heart disease, the rest were healthy.  Listening to the
tapes, he counted how often each man used the words I, me and mine.  Comparing
his results with the frequency of heart disease, he found that the men who used the
first person pronouns the most often had the highest risk of heart trouble.
“What’s more, by following his subjects for several years thereafter, he found that
the more a man habitually talked about himself the greater the chance he would
actually have a heart attack.  Apparently, counting the times a person said ‘I’ was
an ingenious way to quantify self-absorption.  It seems that the less you open your
heart to others the more your heart suffers.
“Dr. Scherwitz counsels, ‘Listen with regard when others talk.  Give your time and
energy to others.  Let others have their way.  Do things for reasons other than
furthering your own needs.’  This is sound medical advice and it speaks also to our
spiritual and emotional needs.  Many religions have taught that being trapped in the
illusion of separateness is the source of much of our suffering.
“Modern Western society, of course, has become highly competitive.  You see it,
perhaps, most conspicuously in sports.  ‘Winning is not the most important thing,’
said the famous football coach Vince Lombardi, ‘it’s everything.’  Another coach
said ‘Show me a good loser and I’ll show you a loser.’ “I’m sure these coaches were trying to urge their players onto greater effort and to
motivate them.  But when we become hyper-competitive we may lose touch with
honor, decency and sportsmanship and we almost always lose tough with each
other.”
So this is quite interesting.  That’s a nice little section from John Robbins’ book.  So
he’s talking about the medical effects of being totally selfish or too competitive.  So
very competitive people, very selfish people, people who only think about
themselves, they have a much higher rate of heart attacks.  They live shorter lives,
they’re less healthy.  Interesting…
So the opposite is also true.  People who care more about other people, who think
about other people, who are connected to other people, who are more grateful and
loving, they live longer and they’re healthier and stronger.  Pretty amazing, so
maybe we should think about this and start applying this to our own lives.
I know I have found this to be true in my life, as well.  As I have developed Effortless
English, the company, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with more people.  And in
the beginning…I’ll be honest, in the beginning…I was more focused on myself
because I hated working these terrible jobs and I wanted to be free.  You know I
wanted to be free from jobs.  I wanted to be free from bosses.  I wanted to be free
from working other people’s schedules.  So I was really focused on my needs.
And those needs were important.  And I’m happy that I started the company and I’m
happy that I solved those problems.  I’m happy that I now am my own boss and that
I have satisfied my own needs.  Certainly that has given me happiness.  But what
has given me more happiness lately is that I have changed my focus because now I
have met my individual needs, I’m fine.  I have plenty of money, I am free, I am my
own boss, I have, you know, lots of opportunities in my life, it’s great.
But once that happened I started to focus on other people because now what
motivates me is connecting with other people, helping other students.  I want to
excite my students.  I want to excite the members of the Effortless English Club.  I
want you to be happier.  I want you to find your dreams or remember them and
achieve them.  I want you to meet all of your needs.  I want you to be happier,
healthier, more successful.  The more I think about other people, the more I think
about helping my friends, helping my family, helping you, the happier I become.  I
get more and more and more energy in my life.
So when I was only thinking about myself and growing my business for myself, sure,
that was motivating, it was definitely inspiring for me, but now I’m at a much higher
level because now I’m thinking about other people.  Now I’m connecting to other
people and it’s such an incredible boost of energy.  It’s so much higher than before
when I was just focused on myself.
So I encourage you to do the same thing.  Now, first, you must meet your own
needs, you cannot ignore yourself.  If you just try to please other people, just help
other people and you ignore yourself then you feel empty and you won’t feel
energized and you won’t feel healthier and you won’t feel stronger.
So, absolutely, you must take care of yourself, you must meet your own individual
needs, certainly.  That will give you the power and the energy then to be generous,
to start thinking about other people, but that’s the next step and that’s what you
must do if you want to be healthy and strong and live to be 100 years old and feel
great or if you just want to be healthy and happy right now.  Start thinking about
other people, how can you contribute to other people, also?  How can you make yourself happy and yourself successful and at the same time help other people be
happier, help other people be more successful.
The reason I’m so excited as a teacher is because I love to see my students
succeed,    it gives me amazing energy to see that.  Now sometimes, for example,
I’ve had a bad class.  Maybe I come to a class and, ah, you know maybe I have a
bad lesson or it’s a bad day for me, I don’t know, something happens.  And I’m
teaching the lesson and I’m trying hard, but I’m looking at the students and the
students are not responding.  They’re not learning, they’re not excited, they’re not
having fun.
And what happens to me?  Well my energy goes down, I feel terrible, even if it’s not
me.  Maybe it’s the students, maybe they’re just not motivated or they’re lazy or
something, I don’t know.  But when that happens I feel terrible.  Even if I’m making
money, it doesn’t matter, I feel bad because I’m not contributing to them.  I’m not
helping and that really bothers me, it upsets me, I hate it.
And so that’s why I try so hard to have a lot of energy, to do everything I can so that
my students learn and grow and succeed because when you succeed I feel
fantastic.  It gives me so much energy and it helps me to succeed more, too.
There’s so much more power when you’re helping other people.  And when you see
them succeed and you know that you helped you feel fantastic.  It gives your life
incredible meaning and energy and passion and health.

And so that’s why I want you now to think about this.  Think about all the goals you
have in life, think about all the dreams you have, all these great things you want to
do or be or accomplish.  And look at them and then, think, how can I also help other
people by doing these things?
If you want to be rich, great, be rich and think about all the great things that being
rich will, you know, give to you.  That’s fine.  But also think about, how will you help
other people by being rich?  How can you contribute to your friends, your family, to
your community, to the world by being rich?  How will you help other people,
also?
Or your goal of learning excellent English, speaking fantastically well, being a fluent
English speaker.  Now you thought a lot about strong, powerful, compelling,
emotional reasons for yourself, why you want to learn English, how it will help you,
how it will help your life.  That’s great, well now I want you to go to the next level,
the next step.  And I want you to think very carefully, how will English fluency help
other people?  How will you use it to help other people?
I’ll give you a great example.  Our number one member right now is Inca on our
Members Forums and she is fantastic.  And her English is excellent, she is a
fantastic student.  She has gotten a lot of personal benefits from speaking English
very well.  For example, she wrote about a big success she had because of English
where she helped her friend and business partner get a new contract.  And, you
know, they both are succeeding and their company is doing really well because Inca
could communicate so well with English.
So she’s made more money and she’s succeeding with business because of
speaking English well.  But here’s the thing about Inca, she’s not focused just on
herself.  Because even in that story -- when she wrote that story – she focused
mostly on how her friend benefited from her English speaking because her friend
got this great new contract for the business.  And her friend is going to make more
money, her friend is going to be more successful and that made her feel great because she helped him.  Her English ability helped her friend get this new
customer, helped her friend build his or her business.
But that’s not all.  Inca constantly helps other members on the Forums, she’s always
answering questions.  Whenever somebody needs help, whenever somebody is
discouraged, Inca is there giving them encouragement, giving them advice, giving
them answers.  She starts topics where she answers questions for other members.
If they don’t understand a lesson she’ll help them.
And we have a lot of members like that it’s not just Inca.  We have several members
like this.  They’re contributing, they’re helping other people.  They’re using their
English skill to help other people be happier or more successful.  They’re using their
English skill to help their friends improve their businesses.  So they’re using their
English skill to contribute and connect with other people, to help other people and
that gives them tremendous power.  And you can see their energy, you can see and
feel their motivation because they’re not just learning for themselves, they’re
learning for other people, too, they’re helping other people, too.
That’s why they are the top members in our club, that’s why their English improves
so quickly, that’s why they have such high motivation.  So whatever your goals are
in life I hope that you will add this other level, this other step and think about, how
can I help and contribute to other people while also helping myself.
And that is the end of the “Healthy Heart” lesson.  I will see you next time.

Healthy Heart Vocabulary Text
Hi, this is AJ, welcome to the vocabulary lesson for “Healthy Heart.”  Let’s get
started.
Our first word is fibers, fibers.  So in the story there was quote from Herman
Melville, he said, “A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men.”  Fibers are
really like strings, basically, it’s just strings.  It’s just long strings.  Usually we talk
about fibers, for example, in clothing.  So if you have, you know…your clothes are
made of lots of little fibers that are woven together, that are put together.  Each
individual string is a fiber, so fiber.
So he’s saying we’re connected by a thousand strings.  So, obviously not really, but
if you think about it kind of poetically it’s a metaphor.  So you can imagine that
we’re connected in a thousand different ways to other people.  We cannot be
separate.  That’s what the quote means.
Alright and then next we have the phrase moved by.  The sentence says “Perhaps
this explains why we are often moved by people caring deeply for one another.”
Now you know the normal meaning of move, to move, but to be moved by
something.  I was moved by the movie, for example.  It has a different meaning.
When you say I was moved by something, it means that you felt strong emotion, it
made you feel emotional.
Usually, kind of…kind of positive emotions, not negative emotions.  So you could
say, for example, you go to see Titanic, the movie Titanic, a romantic movie.  And
you say “Oh, I was moved by that story.”  All right, it means it made you feel very
emotional.   Maybe you cried and it was so, you know, powerful, it was a very
emotional story.  So you say “I was moved by the story.  The story made me feel
emotional,” strong emotions.
So in this quote it says “We are moved by people caring for one another.”  So when
we see two people who care a lot for each other, they love each other a lot, we are
moved.  It means we feel strong emotion also, just seeing them.  Just seeing two
people who are very kind to each other, who love each other a lot, if we just see
them we also feel some kind of strong emotion, right?  We are moved by them, they
make us feel strong emotion also.
Alright, our next word is implication, implication.  And the sentence said “There are
also medical implications to whether we think of others or only of ourselves.”  There
are medical implications.  And implication is a consequence or a result, a result of
something.  So there are medical consequences, there are medical results, there are
medical implications.
If you think only about yourself then the implication is you will be less healthy, you
will have more of a chance to have a heart attack.  That’s the implication, that’s the
result or the consequence.
If you love a lot of people and you’re always contribution to other people and giving,
the implication, the result, the consequence, is you will be healthier.  Your heart is
actually stronger.  So, again, implication, an implication is a consequence or a
result.  It has other meanings, but in this situation it means consequence or result,
implication.
Alright, our next word is to tape, the verb, to tape.  It said “Dr. Scherwitz taped the
conversations of 600 men.”  Now here the word tape means to record, we’re using it as an action, as a verb.  So to tape a conversation means to record a conversation
and it comes from the old, you know, cassette tapes, which are gone now, right?
Now we all use CDs and mp3, but in the past we had actual tapes, right, magnetic
tapes, cassette tapes and that’s how we recorded.

So now we have this verb, to tape, it means to record something.  I taped the
movie.  It means you recorded the movie on your DVD player or on your cassette
player.  Or I taped the conversation means I recorded the conversation.

Alright, our next word is ingenious and the sentence says “Counting the times a
person said ‘I’ was an ingenious way to measure selfishness.”  So ingenious means
clever, clever or smart and it usually describes an idea or an action.  Sometimes a
person, but mostly we use it to describe a plan or a strategy or an action or
something like that.  So an ingenious way means a clever way, a very clever way.
He listened to these conversations and he counted every time they said I.  I, I, I,
one, two, three, he counted it.  So measuring the number of times they said I was
an ingenious way to measure selfishness and an ingenious way to measure their
risk for heart attacks because the more times they said I in conversations the higher
their risk for a heart attack.  So it was a very clever idea, right, a very clever way to
measure this, an ingenious way.  So, again, ingenious means clever, ingenious -
clever, ingenious - clever.
Our next word is self-absorption.  So this was an ingenious way to measure
selfabsorption.  Of course, self means yourself, me, I.  Absorption here means
you’re totally focused on.  So it means totally focused on yourself.  Self-absorption
means totally focused on yourself.  Self-absorption means thinking only about
yourself.  So this is the noun.
The adjective is self-absorbed.  You say “He is so self-absorbed.”  It means he only
thinks about himself.  All day he is thinking only about himself.  He never thinks
about other people or other things, only about himself, self-absorption or self-
absorbed.
Again, the adjective is self-absorbed.  He is self-absorbed.  She is self-absorbed.
Very similar to selfish, selfish, so self-absorbed again means thinking about yourself
all the time.
Next we have the word sound, sound.  You probably know the common meaning of
sound, it means like noise, something you hear, but in this situation it has a very
different meaning.  Here’s the sentence, it says “This is sound medical advice.
Caring about other people is sound medical advice.”  Here the word sound means
good, good.  This is good medical advice.  This is reliable medical advice.
So sometimes sound can be used as an adjective and sound means reliable, good,
strong.  You can say “His health is very sound.”  It means his health is good.  His
health is reliable, strong and good.  There’s nothing wrong with his health.  So,
again, sound.  As an adjective sound can mean strong, good, strong, good, reliable,
sound.
Alright, our next word is conspicuously or conspicuous.  Conspicuously describes an
action, conspicuous describes things or people.  So, again, he’s talking about
competition.  He says “In Western society we have become highly competitive and
you see this most conspicuously in sports.”
Conspicuous or conspicuously means obviously, obviously.  It means very easy to
see, it’s not hidden.  It’s the opposite of hidden.  So conspicuous is the adjective.
So if something is conspicuous it means it stands out, it means you see it
immediately. For example, if we have a room, 30 people in a room.  Thirty people, 29 people are
wearing black, black shirts, black pants, right.  Everybody is wearing black shirts
and black pants, but one person is wearing a pink shirt and pink pants.  The person
wearing pink is very conspicuous, very conspicuous, right?  You see them,
everybody will focus on them.  They are conspicuous, they are very obvious.  They
standout, they’re not hidden.  So it’s the opposite if hidden, right?  They standout,
oh, you immediately notice the person in pink because everybody else is wearing
black.  That’s conspicuous.
So he’s saying that we see competition, hyper-competitiveness in sports.  It’s very
obvious in sports, right?  It’s not hidden, everyone can see.  Athletes are very, very,
very competitive.  It’s conspicuous, it’s obvious.
And that word hyper, hyper-competitive, hyper just means very, very, very.  It
means super, so hypercompetitive means very, very competitive, super
competitive.  Hyperactive means very, very, very active, super active, lots and lots
of energy.  Sometimes I’m hyperactive.  So, again, hyper means just very.  You get
hyper and then you have an adjective, hyperactive, hyper-competitive, whatever.
And, finally, we have one more little phrase and that is to lose touch with, to lose
touch with something.  And he says that “When we become hyper-competitive,”
when we’re very competitive, we’re trying to win, win, win, “we can lose touch with
honor, decency and sportsmanship.”  To lose touch with something means to lose
your connection with it or to forget it or just to lose it.  So if you lose touch with
honor it means you forget honor.  You forget about honor, you don’t have honor
anymore.
So he’s saying now we see some athletes, they’re so competitive, they’re always
trying to win so much, they’re not honorable, they kind of cheat.  Maybe they use
some kind of drugs to make their body stronger so they can win more easily or
maybe they cheat with the rules like you see in soccer or football.  You know they
fall down and they pretend they’re hurt so they get a penalty.
You know we see it all the time in all sports now.  That many athletes now have lost
touch with honor, they’re not honorable anymore.  They have forgotten honor, so
they lost touch with honor because they’re too competitive now.  So that’s what it
means.  To lose touch with something means you forget it or you lose your
connection.
You can also lose touch with a person.  You say “Wow, I lost touch with John.”  It
means John maybe before was a friend, but now you lost contact.  You don’t call him
anymore.  And maybe he moved.  You don’t have his phone number anymore.  You
don’t know how to contact him, so you lost touch with him.  You’ve stopped
communicating with him.  You can’t find him anymore.  Alright, so that’s to lose
touch with.
And that’s our last phrase for the vocabulary lesson.  So, listen to this a few times,
get the general meaning of these words and then move on to the mini-story lesson,
which of course if our favorite lesson.  Alright, I will see you next time.

Аннотация
Много веков геометрия во всех своих основах казалась наукой, совершенно
застывшей в ее древних эллинских формах. Но XIX веке Николай Иванович
Лобачевский одним из первых доказал возможность существования геометрии,
отличной   от   Евклидовой.   Его   идеи   привели   к   широкой   и   многообразной
эволюции геометрии.
В школе мы изучаем геометрию Евклида. А живем мы в какой геометрии?
Неужели   неевклидова   геометрия     отрицает   Евклидову?   Откуда   берутся   и
развиваются неевклидовы геометрии? Исследованию этих вопросов посвящен
этот проект.
Актуальность  проекта
В   процессе   изучения   геометрии   учащиеся   узнают,     что
  изучаемая
геометрия   носит   название   «   евклидова
аксиоматическому   принципу.
  геометрия»,   и   построена   по
  Но   полностью   осознать   и   принять
аксиоматический   принцип   построения   геометрии   многие     ребята   не   могут,
поэтому очень важно   заинтересовать учащихся, привлечь их внимание. А как?
Сообщить о том, что имеет место  быть не только геометрия Евклида, но и
другие,   например,   Лобачевского.     Возникает   вопрос:   «Чем   эти   геометрии
отличаются?»
Ответом,   что   в   геометрии   Лобачевского   параллельные   прямые
пересекаются,   как   правило,   можно   привлечь     даже   самых   равнодушных   к
геометрии.
Но ограниченность времени на уроках  не дает возможности остановиться
более   подробно   на   постулатах   Евклидовой   геометрии,   изучить   аксиомы
2 геометрии Лобачевского и сделать сравнительный анализ, попытаться выяснить,
нет ли еще геометрий, основанных на других аксиомах.
На   все   эти   вопросы   можно   попытаться   ответить   в   рамках   проведения
проекта:   изучить   дополнительную   литературу,   воспользоваться   ресурсами
Интернета, и в доступной форме  рассказать об этом своим ровесникам.
За основу проекта взята идея: любая теория современной науки считается
единственно верной, пока   не создана следующая. Это своеобразная аксиома
развития науки.
Основные вопросы проекта:
1. «Можно   ли   любую   теорию   современной   науки   считать   единственно
2.
верной?»,
 «Как и почему возникают новые теории (в частности новые геометрии)?».
В проекте рассматриваются следующие причины:
-
-
развитие цивилизации меняет представление об устройстве мира;
аксиоматический подход к построению и описанию теории является
ограниченным, это можно продемонстрировать на примерах геометрий Евклида,
Лобачевского, Римана.
-
для   доказательства   истины   в   науке   не   достаточно   наблюдений,
необходим   математический   аппарат   для   математического   обоснования
истинности (в геометрии используются: аксиомы,  теоремы).
Целью проведения данного   проекта является:
  развитие интереса и   расширение кругозора в сфере естественно  научных
дисциплин;
  формирование научного мировоззрения;
  выработка навыков самостоятельной работы с научнопопулярной и
специальной литературой и Интернет  ресурсами;
3  становление системного мышления;
 воспитание интереса к коллективному творчеству;
 создание атмосферы эмоциональной приподнятости, радости познания.
Предметный раздел – математика
Участники проекта    ученики 8 класса.
Краткое описание  проекта
С помощью исследований учащиеся могут   ответить на вопросы: «Как и
почему возникают новые теории в рамках  уже известных (например, геометрия
Лобачевского);     выяснить,     в   чем   заключается   аксиоматический   подход   к
построению   теории,   является   ли   такое   описание   теории   ограниченным,
познакомиться   с   науками,   изучающими   понятие   «истина»,   экспериментально
доказать, что в геометрии, как и в любой другой науке, нельзя полагаться только
на   наблюдения,   необходимо   доказательство   и   обоснование   правильности
полученного результата.
В проекте участвуют учащиеся, которые обладают некоторыми знаниями в
области   геометрии,   информатики,     истории.   Данный   проект   рассчитан   на
учащихся 8 и  9 классов, позволяет учащимся реализовать свои навыки работы с
сетевыми   ресурсами,   способность   анализировать   и   отсеивать   ненужную
информацию, систематизировать полученные данные в сети Интернет.
Особенности реализации проекта
Постановка задачи ученикам
Основной вопрос:  Почему возникают новые геометрии?

Healthy Heart Mini-Story Text
Hello, this is AJ, welcome to the mini-story for “Healthy Heart.”  As always, let’s take
a deep breath, let’s get our bodies standing up strong or sitting up strong.  Lift your
head, big smile on your face.  I’m doing it now, so do it with me.  Feel good?
Let’s move a little bit.  Let’s move our bodies a little bit.  I’m standing up right now I
can’t really move, but I’ll jump around a little bit and get my body moving.  You
move your body, too, and let’s start.  Now for the mini-story, here we go.
* * * * *
There was a guy named Zach.  Zach loved bright and expensive clothes.
Did Zach love dull clothes?
Oh, no, no, he did not love dull clothes, he loved bright clothes.
Did he love bright clothes or did he love dull clothes?
Well, of course, bright.  He loved bright clothes.
What kind of clothes did he like?
He liked bright clothes and expensive clothes.
So did he love black and gray and brown clothes?
No, no, no, those are not bright colors.  He loved purple and green and pink
clothes.  He loved bright clothes.
Who loved bright clothes?
Well, Zach, Zach loved bright clothes.
He loved bright, cheap clothes, right?
No, no, no, no, wrong.  Not bright cheap clothes, bright expensive clothes.  Zach
loved bright, expensive clothes.
He loved bright, expensive what?
That’s right, clothes.  Zach loved bright, expensive clothes.
In fact, he was always very conspicuous on the street.
Did Zach blend in on the street?  Did he blend in?
No, he did not blend in.
Blend in means to be the same as everything around you.  It means not obvious.
It’s the opposite of conspicuous.  So of course Zach did not blend in, he was
conspicuous.  He stood out.  So stood out is the same as conspicuous.  To stand out
means to be very obvious, to be very conspicuous.  Zach was very conspicuous on
the street, everybody looked at him.
Why was Zach conspicuous?
Well, because he always wore bright, expensive clothes.  He was conspicuous, he
was obvious.  He stood out because he always wore bright, expensive clothes.
So who was always very conspicuous?
Zach, Zach was always very conspicuous.
Where was he conspicuous?
Well, on the street.  When he walked on the street he was very conspicuous.
Everybody looked at him when he walked on the street.
And why did they look at him?
Well, because he was conspicuous because he wore bright, expensive clothes.
So Zach was very, very conspicuous.  Zach was also very self-absorbed.
Did Zach think a lot about other people?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, he never thought about other people.  Zach only thought
about himself and his clothes.  He thought about his clothes all the time.  “Oh, I
hope my clothes look good.  What should I buy next?”
Zach was self-absorbed, he thought only about himself and his clothes.
What kind of person was Zach? He was a self-absorbed person.  Zach was a very self-absorbed person.
Was Zach generous and caring?
No, he wasn’t.  Zach was not generous and caring.  Zach was self-absorbed, he
thought only about himself.  He didn’t give to other people.  He didn’t think about
other people, he was self-absorbed.
And who?  Who was self-absorbed?
Zach, of course.  Zach was very self-absorbed.  He always wore conspicuous
clothes, he was always very conspicuous on the street and he was self-absorbed,
thinking only about himself.
And so he bought a coat.  He went to a store and he bought a coat, a special coat.
Where did he buy the coat?
Well, he bought the coat at Saks Fifth Avenue, a store named Saks Fifth Avenue.
Was this a cheap store or an expensive store?
Well, it was a very expensive store.  It still is a very expensive store.
What did he buy at Saks Fifth Avenue?
He bought a coat.  He bought a coat at Saks Fifth Avenue.
What kind of coat did he buy at Saks Fifth Avenue?
He bought a coat made from gold fibers.
What kind of fibers were in the coat?
Gold fibers, gold strings, long strings of gold put together to make this coat.  It was
a coat made from gold fibers, gold strings.
Was this coat made from silver fibers?
Oh, no, silver is cheap.  This coat was made of gold fibers.
What was made of gold fibers?
The coat.  The coat that Zach bought was made from gold fibers or was made of
gold fibers.
Where did he buy the coat that was made of gold fibers?
Saks Fifth Avenue.  He bought the coat that was made of gold fibers at Saks Fifth
Avenue.
And what kind of store is Saks?
Well, Saks is a very, very expensive store, of course.
So Zach bought a coat made from gold fibers, a very, very, very expensive coat.
How much did the coat cost, the coat that was made of gold fibers, $1 million?
No, no, no, no, no that’s cheap.
The coat cost $72 million.  It was a $72 million gold coat.  Zach put it on and he felt
great.  He looked in the mirror and he said “I look great.  I’m so handsome.  I’m so

And that is the end of our story.  Please listen to this story many times, as usual.
Remember, pause and answer the questions, if necessary.  If you’re fast you can
answer the questions without pausing, but, if you need to, pause and answer the
questions.
If possible, if you’re alone, shout the answers!  Right?  Strong body, standing up, big
smile and shout your answers very strong!  Feel confident.  Feel strong when you
speak English.
If you’re in a bus or a train or around other people maybe you can’t shout, but you
can still have your body strong, you can still smile.  Even if you whisper the
answers, do it with a big smile, do it with a strong body.  You will build your
confidence with English by doing that.
So, please, it’s very important, do that.  Don’t just answer nah, nah, nah, very
weak.  Answer strongly every time you speak English.  Every time you answer a
question in the mini-story, do it strongly, with a strong body, strong physiology.
Okay, that is the end of our mini-story for “Healthy Heart.”

Healthy Heart POV Text
Hello, welcome to the point of view stories for “Healthy Heart.”  Same stories,
different points of view, different timeframes, let’s start.
Since he was a teenager Zach has loved bright, expensive clothes.  In fact, since he
was a teenager he has always worn conspicuous clothes when he was on the
street.  He has always been very conspicuous every time he walked on the street,
since he was a teenager and continuing until he was an adult, until very recently.
And since he was a teenager Zach has been totally self-absorbed.  Zach has been
completely self-absorbed, he has only thought about himself and his clothes.  So,
since he was a teenager he has loved bright, expensive clothes.  Since he was a
teenager he has always been conspicuous, noticeable.  And since he was a
teenager he has always been self-absorbed, he has only thought about himself and
his clothing.
But one day he bought a coat made from gold fibers and he bought the coat at Saks
Fifth Avenue.  This coat was worth $72 million, a super expensive coat!  Zach loved
the coat.  He looked in the mirror and he talked to himself and he said “I’m so
handsome.  I’m so wonderful.  I’m great!”
However, a few weeks later, he woke up one day and looked in the mirror and he
felt sad.  He realized that he had lost touch with his happiness.  He had lost touch
with his happiness, he had lost touch with other people and so he felt very sad.  He
realized that he was totally alone.
He went outside for a walk and while walking he saw a poor homeless man, a poor,
suffering, hungry, homeless man.  Oh, so sad.  And Zach was moved by his
suffering, he felt emotional because of the man’s suffering.  And so Zach said “Here,
take my gold coat and buy a big house.”
And the man took his gold coat, he was so happy.  He ran to the bank, he sold the
gold coat, he bought a big, big mansion and he ate a lot of food.  And Zach also felt
very happy because he helped this man.  He connected again with a person, so
Zach was very happy and the homeless man was also very happy.
Okay, that is the end of our first point of view story.  As always, in these first stories,
you’ll hear a change, usually, and the change is between something that has been
happening a while.  It started in the past and it has continued happening for some
time and then we change because something just happened suddenly.
We talk about one event; he bought a coat made from gold fibers.  That happened
one time.  He didn’t buy a coat every day starting 10 years ago and continuing.  No,
it happened one time and then it was over.  So we’re talking about specific events
after the change.
Before the change we’re talking about some things that were happening and
continued happening.  He was conspicuous.  He was always conspicuous, for
example.  So he has been conspicuous since he was 16.  It means it started when
he was 16 and he continued to be conspicuous every day after that for several
years.  So it’s a timeframe, it’s a longer time period, it keeps happening over time.
If we say “He was conspicuous yesterday,” well then it just happened, boom, one
time.
Alright, our next story, into the future, I have an idea for a story.  It happens in the future, I’m going to tell you now.  Here we go.
There will be a guy named Zach.  He’s going to love bright, expensive clothes.  He’ll
always be conspicuous when he walks on the street.  This guy, Zach, he’ll be very
self-absorbed.  He’s going to be totally self-absorbed.  In fact, he’s only going to
think about himself and his clothes.
And one day he’ll go to Saks Fifth Avenue and he’ll buy a coat made from gold
fibers.  A coat made from gold fibers that will be worth $72 million.  And he’s going
to look in the mirror and he’s going to say “Zach, you’re handsome.  You’re great.
You’re wonderful!”  Because, of course, he will be totally self-absorbed.
But one day Zach will wake up feeling very sad.  He’ll look in the mirror and he’ll
feel very sad and he’ll realize that he has lost touch with his happiness.  He’ll realize
that he has lost touch with every other person.  He’ll be totally alone.
So he’s going to walk outside wearing his gold coat and he’ll see a poor, homeless,
suffering, hungry man.  He’ll be moved by the suffering of this man.  He’ll be moved
by the homeless man, he’ll feel very emotional.  And he’ll take off his gold coat and
he’ll say “Here, take my gold coat and buy a big house with it.”
Of course the homeless man is going to be super excited, super happy.  The
homeless man will run to the bank and sell the gold coat and he’ll buy a big
mansion with all the money.  And he’ll eat a lot of food and he’ll feel great.  And
Zach is going to feel great, too.  He’ll feel great because he helped somebody.  He’ll
feel great because he connected with another person and he contributed.  So both
the homeless man and Zach will feel very, very happy.
And that is the end of our point of view stories for “Healthy Heart.”  Listen to them
many times for at least seven days, 14 days or more is fine.  Less is not good, at
least seven days, every day.  Listen to this story, listen to the mini-story, listen to
the main audio and sometimes listen to the vocabulary, too.
I will see you next time, bye-bye.

The Art of Power Main Text
Hello, this is AJ, welcome to our next lesson.  This lesson is called “The Art of Power”
and it comes from a book.  The topic comes from a book with the same name.  The
book is called The Art of Power by Thich Nhat Hanh.
Thich Nhat Hanh is a Buddhist Monk, he is a Vietnamese Buddhist Monk and really
one of my favorite writers, one of my favorite people, one of my favorite teachers.
And I’ve been reading Thich Nhat Hanh’s books and listening to his audio teachings
for many, many years and he’s a very special guy.
Thich Nhat Hanh, again, he’s Vietnamese, a Vietnamese Buddhist Monk, and during
the Vietnam War he created an organization and he created a movement for peace.
So I believe he was in South Vietnam during the War and he did not support either
side.  He was not supporting the Communist North.  He was not supporting the
United States-backed South.  He was just trying to end the War.  He was trying to
get peace in Vietnam and the Buddhist Monks that were in his group were doing the
same.  They were just trying to help people and trying to stop the War, stop the
killing.
Well, unfortunately, as happens in the world, because he would not join either side
both sides didn’t like him.  So the Americans and the South Vietnamese, they
thought he was bad because he was trying to stop the fighting and the North
Vietnamese Communists, they didn’t like him either because he was trying to stop
the killing and the fighting.

And, so, Thich Nhat Hanh, he had to leave Vietnam.  His life was in danger from
both sides.  And, eventually, he had to leave Vietnam and he could not return.  I
think he just recently returned a couple years ago.  The Vietnamese Government
allowed him to come back because I guess he’s still quite popular in Vietnam.
But, anyway, he moved to France and he started to teach and write books and
tapes.   And he created a monastery in France where he teaches people about
peace and about making your life better and about helping other people.  And while
he is a Buddhist, many of his students are Christians or Muslim or Jewish or not
religious or Hindus, it doesn’t matter.  He’s not like a strict Buddhist like you must
be a Buddhist, he just wants to teach the principles of peace and understanding and
love.
So he’s a wonderful person and he’s got many great books, this book is called The
Art of Power.  And, of course, the power he’s talking about is the power to be good,
the power to control your own life and to have a good life and to help other people.
So it’s not power to control other people it’s power for yourself.  So let me read a
little section from his book and then we’ll talk about this section and we’ll talk a
little more about Thich Nhat Hanh.  Okay, here’s the section.  Are you ready?  Let’s
start.
“When a seed is watered in our subconscious it manifests as an energy in our
conscious and becomes a mental formation or an emotion or a thought.  You have a
seed of anger, but when this seed of anger is asleep it is dormant in your
subconscious and you don’t feel angry.  However, when the seed is touched, when it
is turned on, when it is watered it becomes a conscious emotion, a conscious
mental formation called anger and you feel the energy of anger arise.
We can envision consciousness as a living room and subconsciousness as a
basement.  If we water a seed of joy and happiness that seed will grow and
manifest itself on the upper level of consciousness making the living room beautiful, making our mind beautiful, our thoughts and our feelings beautiful.
If we water the seed of anger or hatred it will make the living room of our mind a
hell for us and a hell for our loved ones.  We all have a seed of anger, a seed of
despair, a seed of jealousy in us.  If you live in a negative environment the
environment can trigger these seeds.  If you live in a positive environment then the
seeds of craving, violence, hate and anger, are not touched, not watered easily.  So
it is wise for you to choose a good environment, an environment that will prevent
these negative seeds from being touched or watered often.
You should not let other people around you to touch or water these seeds and you
should not allow yourself to water them.  When you read an article full of violence or
watch a violent television program or movie you turn on the seed of violence.  So
the first step is diligence.  You need the diligence and discipline to control your
environment.  You need the diligence not to turn on these negative seeds and not to
allow the environment to turn them on.
Diligence means the practice of selective watering.  So if the negative seeds in the
subconscious have not grown keep them down there, don’t let them get watered.  In
your daily life be careful not to give these negative seeds a chance to grow.  Don’t
suppress them; just don’t give them a chance.
In your community, in your family, expose yourself only to sounds and sights that
will help you touch the wholesome seeds within you.  Try not to expose yourself to
sights and sounds that stimulate the seeds of craving or anger.  You need diligence
to practice this and you may need a community or a group of friends with similar
values to help you create a good environment.
You can encourage your partner, your children and your friends to help you protect
yourself from negative environments.  You can also protect them by creating an
environment where they don’t have to be in touch with negative thoughts, ideas
and therefore don’t have to touch their negative seeds.”
Okay, that’s the end of that section from Thich Nhat Hanh.  So, of course, he’s
talking a little bit poetically, it’s a metaphor this idea of seeds.  This idea of, you
have seeds in your mind, in your brain, negative and positive, so they’re just
waiting like a seed in the ground.  If there’s a seed in the ground, if you don’t give it
water, if you don’t give it sunshine, it will not grow.  If you don’t give it food and
energy it won’t grow.  If you give it water and food and energy it will grow.
So he’s saying imagine this is your mind, your mind.  And in your mind, in the
subconscious, you have all these little seeds…violent seeds, seeds of anger, seeds
of jealousy and also positive…seeds of love, seeds of caring, seeds of strength.  So
he’s saying we need to be careful about our environment.  We need to be careful so
that we give food and energy and water to the positive seeds, help them grow more
and more, stronger and stronger.  And we have to be careful – have diligence means
be careful – we have to be careful to not give energy and food and water to the
negative seeds.
So what he’s just saying is that we want to be careful about our environment.  We
want to be careful about the movies we watch.  We want to be careful about the TV
shows we watch.  We want to be careful about the articles we read.  Because if
we’re always watching violent TV shows, we’re always watching the news full of
violence and war and terrible negative things, well then we’re watering those seeds
in us.  It will be easier for us to be angry or violent or upset or sad or depressed
because we’re giving food, we’re giving energy and we’re giving water to all those
negative seeds.
Every time we watch a violent movie, every time we watch bad, negative news,
every time we read a newspaper that’s full of negative stories, we’re feeding the
negative thoughts and feelings in our own brain, making it easier for ourselves to feel bad.  So he’s saying we want to do the opposite.  We want to always be
watching positive movies and TV shows or DVDs or whatever with positive
messages full of love and hope and strength.  We want to read stories that are very
positive and inspiring that give energy to our strength and our love and our
generosity.  We want to be very careful about what comes into our eyes and our
ears, in other words.
And that’s part of the idea of these lessons, these Power English lessons.  Because I
want to do more than just teach you English, I want to be sure that every lesson is
full of positive messages, inspiring messages.  I want to water and feed the positive
seeds in your subconscious.  So, yes, you’re learning English, yes, you’re learning
vocabulary, yes, you’re improving your grammar, yes, you will speak more fluently,
but more importantly than that you’re also feeding the positive emotions, the
positive thoughts, the positive values in your mind.
So that’s a very important part of these lessons, it’s one of my main goals, is to
make sure that every single lesson has some kind of positive message so that
you’re getting lots and lots of positive energy from me.  And if you want to help
yourself you should also avoid the negative.  It means turn off the TV, don’t watch
the news.  You do not need to watch the news.  The news is full of negative, terrible
stories and, you know, as a former journalist I can also tell you a lot of the news is
just not accurate.  It’s just wrong, it’s basically government propaganda.  And,
whichever country you’re in, you’re getting the stories that they want you to hear,
so you’re not really hearing very much.

If there’s a very big story, some huge event happens in the world, you’ll hear about
it,   other people will tell you.  You’ll walk on the street, you’ll see it on the cover of
the newspaper, so, you know, you don’t need to worry you won’t be lost.  But most
of the news is not necessary.  It doesn’t really help your life, it’s information that
you don’t need and it’s negative, negative, negative.  It feeds and waters jealousy
and fear and depression and sadness and anger in you.
So just avoiding the news, avoid newspapers, avoid television news.  Just doing that
is going to increase your positive energy so much, you will feel so much better.
Instead of listening to that crap and reading that crap, read books that are positive
and inspiring.  Listen to CDs that are positive and inspiring that give you power and
energy.  Do that every day and you’re going to feel fantastic.  You’re going to gain
power in yourself and then you’re going to be able to use that power to help
yourself and to help other people.
So instead of feeling sad, instead of feeling afraid, instead of feeling powerless, you
will feel powerful and positive and you will actually make your life and your world
better and you’ll help other people do the same thing.  That’s why you need to be
very careful.  That’s why you need to avoid all these negative influences and the
negative environment and especially the news.  That’s why you need to seek out
and find positive messages all the time to make yourself emotionally powerful.
Alright, well that is the end of “The Art of Power”, next is the vocabulary lesson.
Again, seek out and listen to positive inspiring things all the time, these lessons and
also find other stuff.  And read books.  All these books that I’ve mentioned in these
lessons go find them.  Read them in English, read them in your language, it doesn’t
matter, but read them.
