Short spoken excerpt from a YouTube reading by Hadar Shemesh that questions the common belief that massive success requires massive (huge) action and briefly coaches pronunciation for specific words and connected phrases. The speaker emphasizes how people conflate big goals with the need for huge effort and models pronunciation (e.g., 'convince', 'convince ourselves').

Chapters

Too often we convince ourselves that massive success requires massive action. Massive is big. So too often we convince ourselves. Listen to the pronunciation of these two words. Convince. No O convince. And when I connect it, convince ourselves, ourselves that massive success, big success, huge success requires big action. Huge action, A lot of work, right? So to see success, the success that we want, we think that we need to put in a lot of work and a lot of effort.
