Hello, everybody. My name is Coach Shane and welcome to Easy English Expressions.
You and me, every day.
Come on, let's master English.
Hello, everybody. Welcome back to Daily Easing English Expression.
Thank you so much for listening.
Today's expression is to be in the moment.
I really like this expression.
To be in the moment.
But do you remember the last time you ate an orange?
You know, the fruit, the orange.
Do you remember? Do you remember how the outside of the orange was kind of cool and smooth and a little bit waxy?
Yeah, it had a little bit of a waxy feel and it was kind of soft but somewhere it's firm.
And then you put your thumb in it to open it and you start to peel and the smell and even a little bit of the orange juice would fly into the air and then the smell got even stronger and then you peeled it and you could see the fruit and then you you broke it apart and and you took a piece you peeled a piece of the fruit off and you put it in your mouth and oh it was very sweet and yet it was a little bit sour and it would make your mouth like wake up and you feel Alive you feel Fresh and you chew it And the juices were so nice.
It was so excellent or Are you like most people and you ate an orange and there was an orange you ate it and you were done?
Yeah, I think most people, when we eat an orange, do we think about it, do we look at it, do we smell it?
We have five senses.
We have the sense of taste, the sense of smell, the sense of sight, the sense of hearing, the sense of touch. But when we eat an orange, do we use all five senses?
Most people do not, we just eat it.
But my description of eating an orange, I used all five senses.
And if you were listening to me carefully, you could feel it.
You might have been able to see it.
You might have been able to taste it, to smell it.
You were there. Your focus, your entire mind was there.
in the moment. The moment we touched the orange and peeled the orange and picked a piece of fruit off and ate it and tasted it, you were there.
And in any situation, if you are able to focus on something 100%, all of your senses are focused on one thing you are in the moment and to be in the moment is such a wonderful thing but nowadays it's very rare we have our smartphones the TVs the newspapers our friends our text messaging the the traffic the advertising everything it's taking our attention the children the family the mothers the friends the games everything is taking our attention and it's very difficult to be in the moment let's check out a dialogue.
Oh his presentation is going great he's totally in the moment I didn't know he could talk so well when When he gets in the moment, he becomes a new person.
It's a great dialogue.
It's like even for me.
Do you think I'm a good public speaker?
I'm okay now, but a long time ago I was terrible.
I got too nervous. I would forget everything.
But now I am more relaxed.
Now, when I get on stage, believe it or not, I can actually look at the people and usually if I go on stage, I get up there and I look at all the people and I see how busy they are.
I see that they're looking at their watch, they want to go or some of them are excited or they're checking their cell phones.
I can see everything and I take it and I look at it and then I use that energy to talk to the people and suddenly two minutes later everybody is focused and Everybody is in the moment and when everybody is focused on me listening to my lecture Oh, I get energy, and I get I get better.
I can do it better So, that's me when giving a speech, but it's not easy.
It's the same thing in this dialogue.
If somebody is in the moment, they can enjoy what they're doing 110%, they can do their job 110 % better, but once again, it's so difficult to be in the moment.
Even having lunch or breakfast or dinner.
It's so difficult to be in the moment.
You got newspapers and deadlines and everything.
So... It's the weekend.
For most of you it's the weekend.
I hope that you are able to take part of this day and be in the moment.
Not just with your lunch, not just with your work.
But if you're a husband, and be in the moment with your wife.
If you're a parent, be in the moment with your children.
If you're a child, a student, whatever an employee, an employer.
Be in the moment with that other person.
Hopefully you'll have a great time and that person will have a great time being with you.
I hope. I hope you don't have a fight then you're gonna blame me.
Okay, that's it. I'm not gonna bother you guys with any you know join perf join DDM although you should.
This is the end of the video.
I want you guys to listen to the dialogue and to think about being in the moment and find something or find someone that you, right now, can be in the moment with.
