UNIT 1.1 TED TALK PREVIEW The captain waved me over He said, “Bezos, I need you to go into the house I need you to go upstairs, past the fire, and I need you to get this woman a pair of shoes.” [Laughter] 1.3 LISTENING Peter, tell us how you became an artist Ever since I was young, I’ve dreamed of being an artist I remember being kicked out of an art lesson once when I was six years old, because I couldn’t afford to pay the fees I ran home crying, thinking that dreams didn’t come true for poor children like me But I’ve learned that it’s important to work hard and to never give up What kind of projects you work on? I teach drawing to children who come from disadvantaged backgrounds They’ve gone from drawing stickmen to drawing beautiful portraits I also help children who’ve been through natural disasters After the Japan tsunami in 2011, I traveled to different countries and met with local children who’d also experienced natural disasters I got them to draw pictures to encourage the children in Japan, and then I sent the drawings to schools that were affected by the tsunami I just wanted to help put a smile back on children’s faces Every little thing we can make a difference It sounds like your career as an artist has been very rewarding What advice would you give young people about following their dreams? Don’t wait to pursue your dreams I always told my grandfather that I’ll become a great artist one day But he passed away when I was 16 It was then I realized that time waits for no one 1.6 INFOGRAPHIC CONVERSATION [Speaker A is male; Speaker B is female] A: Hey, guess what happened at the grocery store earlier B: What? A: Well, I was standing in line, and there were a few people in front of me B: Yeah? A: An elderly couple was at the front of the line, and they seemed to have problems paying B: They couldn’t find their money? A: I think they didn’t have enough money to pay the bill B: So what happened? A: A woman standing behind the couple asked the cashier to put the amount on her bill instead She paid for their groceries B: Wow, that’s really nice! A: Yeah The elderly couple was pretty surprised at first, and didn’t want to take her money But the woman insisted, so they accepted her help 1.10 TED TALK PART Back in New York, I am the head of development for a nonprofit called Robin Hood When I’m not fighting poverty, I’m fighting fires as the assistant captain of a volunteer fire company Now in our town, where the volunteers supplement a highly skilled career staff, you have to get to the fire scene pretty early to get in on any action I remember my first fire I was the second volunteer on the scene, so there was a pretty good chance I was going to get in But still it was a real footrace against the other volunteers to get to the captain in charge to find out what our assignments would be When I found the captain, he was having a very engaging conversation with the homeowner, who was surely having one of the worst days of her life Here it was, the middle of the night, she was standing outside in the pouring rain, under an umbrella, in her pajamas, barefoot, while her house was in flames 1.11 TED TALK PART The other volunteer who had arrived just before me—let’s call him Lex Luthor—[Laughter] got to the captain first and was asked to go inside and save the homeowner’s dog The dog! I was stunned with jealousy Here was some lawyer or money manager who, for the rest of his life, gets to tell people that he went into a burning building to save a living creature, just because he beat me by five seconds Well, I was next The captain waved me over He said, “Bezos, I need you to go into the house I need you to go upstairs, past the fire, and I need you to get this woman a pair of shoes.” [Laughter] I swear So, not exactly what I was hoping for, but off I went— up the stairs, down the hall, past the “real” firefighters, who were pretty much done putting out the fire at this point, into the master bedroom to get a pair of shoes Now I know what you’re thinking, but I’m no hero [Laughter] I carried my payload back downstairs where I met my nemesis and the precious dog by the front door We took our treasures outside to the homeowner, where, not surprisingly, his received much more attention than did mine A few weeks later, the department received a letter from the homeowner thanking us for the valiant effort displayed in saving her home The act of kindness she noted above all others: someone had even gotten her a pair of shoes [Laughter] 1.12 TED TALK PART In both my vocation at Robin Hood and my avocation as a volunteer firefighter, I am witness to acts of generosity and kindness on a monumental scale, but I’m also witness to acts of grace and courage on an individual basis And you know what I’ve learned? They all matter So as I look around this room at people who either have achieved, or are on their way to achieving, remarkable levels of success, I would offer this reminder: Don’t wait Don’t wait until you make your ...
