Kevin's English Room Podcast Plus
Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
We have to do a weekly shout-out.
Okay, thank you.
We are doing a spin-off version of this show on Amazon Music.
It is called Kevin's English Room Podcast Plus.
It's a five-minute show where we answer questions we get from our listeners.
Typically English questions.
For example, what's the difference between leggings and stockings?
What's the difference between period on Christmas?
What's the difference between finished, done, and over?
Many good questions.
Many great questions we get.
We do a quick Q&A.
It's free.
If you are interested, please download Amazon Music and check our podcast out.
Thank you.
I think that was the smoothest ad read ever.
It was.
I think it was.
It was very smooth.
It was very smooth.
2024年へのスタート
Nice.
Good start.
Yeah.
Yeah, good start.
Good start for 2024.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Lovely.
Mm-hmm.
Do you have any ambitions or like anything?
For this year?
Yeah.
In your mind?
Try or go somewhere?
I've actually been very happy, you know?
Yeah.
Oh, that's very great to hear that.
It's a part of...
You know how I've always had...
Had obstacles in me that I've always wanted to deal with, right?
For example, like several years ago, it was like my work.
Yeah.
And passion and like money.
Right.
The balance of all that stuff.
Yeah.
Then came like...
After that, it was like, how do I work...
The style of work style is pretty unique, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like, how do I work with the things that I wanna do versus what the team wants to do
and stuff like that.
Yeah, yeah.
And right now, I'm kind of in a stage where I'm fairly like satisfied with a lot of things
in my life.
Yeah.
Like it's...
I don't know why, but like it's like...
Yeah, that's great.
Yeah, it is great.
Yeah.
I think it is a great thing.
I'm taking it very positively.
Yeah.
Like I have thought that this feeling sort of means that I'm kind of speeding down or
like I am kind of like not ambitious anymore, which I perceived as something negative in
me before.
But like right now, I'm kind of satisfied with the way I am right now.
Like it comes organically from my heart and that's how I actually feel.
So like I'm okay with the everyday life that I am.
I'm living right now.
So I am...
That's the best.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So like I don't have like an aggressive goal this year.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, to this day.
Right now, to this point.
Yeah.
It's December 18th.
I don't know what's gonna happen when we actually get to 2024.
Yeah, yeah.
But...
Yeah, I...
I'm afraid to hear that.
Yeah, right.
Right.
It's...
What more can you want?
Right.
Yeah.
Than being happy, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I've always had happiness as one of the main goals, main pillars of life.
今年の目標
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I...
Yeah.
I am...
I'm pretty happy right now.
Yeah.
Oh, that's great.
Yeah.
That's good.
That's good.
You're in the very great like statement.
Happy.
Yeah.
Mold.
Right.
Happy.
Everything is balanced.
Right.
Yeah.
But I do think that it's a matter of time before something gets unbalanced and feels
like I do need to work on this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's always like this.
Right.
There's always ebbs and flows.
Right.
So I think that it's just right now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Two or three months from now, it's possible that I may be saying something different.
Right.
Right.
Right.
At this moment, I feel like there's not much of an aggressive goal that I want to establish.
Nice.
Just...
That means...
Yeah.
That means something to me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It is.
Right.
Right.
Yeah.
Peaceful.
I mean, that's nice.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
I mean, that's the best.
Oh, yeah.
Best thing.
Right.
Yeah.
Right.
Wow.
So I guess if I were to like word it out, it would be something like, start enjoying
like the little things or like try to focus on what I already have.
I see.
That was one of the factors that the Miami's that I had in the past when I was worrying
about jobs of like, why am I aiming for higher?
Like I already have enough.
I see.
I see.
Right now, I still don't, I'm not confident that my mindset is like that.
So like that may be a good thing to work on, like appreciate what I already have and be
more, have more gratitude, I guess.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah.
So yeah.
Sounds very, very mature.
It is.
Right.
Yeah.
It sounds very much right.
Yeah.
It sounds like 40, 45.
Yeah.
Like somebody who.
Who experienced.
Yeah.
Many things.
Yeah.
Success in one's life and then have three kids.
Right.
It does sound like I have three kids.
Appreciate what I have.
Yeah.
Three kids that I have.
John, Ellen, and Zach.
That's right.
Yeah.
I have to enjoy them, you know, fighting with each other and you know, I have to enjoy
Zach not having the proper potty training and pooping on places and I have to just start
enjoying cleaning that up, you know?
Wow.
It's not going to last long and you know.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's a good thing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's just, I don't know.
It might be temporary.
I don't know.
I really understand it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's always like coming in, going and ups and downs.
Right.
Right.
Left.
Right.
Yeah.
You're right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
True.
Any goal that you might be having?
This year?
Yeah.
今年の目標
Like 2024.
Yeah.
You haven't thought.
I know you haven't thought of it.
True.
That's right.
Usually I make a plan on second, generally.
Right.
Right.
Right.
So, not like, you know.
You don't have exact.
Exact one yet.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, about this one.
Mm-hmm.
This, you know, Kevin in your room team.
Okay.
Work.
Well, just like you said, I'm pretty much like, you know, we have many things to balance.
Yeah.
To keep it balanced.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, it's not going.
Yes.
Smoothly.
Yeah.
Comfortably, you know?
Mm-hmm.
And, like, pretty much we all end up, like, at least to me.
Mm-hmm.
In a kind of, pretty good balance now.
Mm-hmm.
And I'm feeling, just like you, I'm feeling like it's been like a few months, we are
in a very like.
Stable.
Yeah.
Stable zone.
Yeah.
Without any, you know, things to adjust.
Mm-hmm.
