To the point: Write. Write often, even if you don't intend to share it. Writing organizes your mind better then anything else. It also helps construct your vocabulary too.
I wish that was told to me when I was a young man.
@@anthonyward8133 It's never too late. Don't get stuck on the idea of it only being helpful for the young. Having skills like these is always helpful regardless of your age.
@@milkcreamsweetsweetpig1352 thanks milk & cream.i needed that
Thanks for this Chris!! I recently started writing and I feel my thoughts are much more organized as opposed to when I speak. I hope it translates verbally soon.
@@crystalj3617 It will take time, but I promise it will. :)
A little hint too: Don't be afraid to write the thing you don't know.
Admitting things you don't know in writing, whether you seek the answer for it or not later, will help ground your perspective of that which you don't know. Its a hard thing for humans to admit, but if you can at least admit it for yourself, you will also notice how that changes your thinking too.
As a person who has yearned to be understood in society, this was a difficult challenge and takes time. Coming from the hood, I've went down this path to become a more articulated person. I wanted to be taken more seriously and convey to others my thoughts or intentions clearly. Heres what helped me:
1. Surround yourself with folks who are more articulated. If you dont know anyone, listening to podcasts, reading self-help books, or watching videos like this is a great start. Avoid listening to music or watching content that's dull, unproductive.
2. Listen to yourself. Pay attention to the words you use and how they affect others. Try removing words such as umm, ahh, like, like, like as filler words when you're thinking too fast. Listen to how you finish words. Things like saying axe instead of ask is a big one.
3. Anytime you hear a new word or phrase, write it down and look it up. Dont memorize, seak only to understand the word or phrase.
4. Try to use those words throughout your normal day if possible. The more you use them, the more they will appear in normal conversation without you having to "feel" for them
5. Reading poety out loud. This helps your voice not stay so flat. Keeps your pitch moving up and down while using words in a manner you're unfamiliar with.
6. When asked a question, dont speak right away. Pause and give your mind a moment to form a more articulated sentence. Our brains are quick to use default words when we are not thinking. Give yourself an exra few seconds to actually think of a better word or phrase and respond accordingly.
If you have more, please add. I'm always learning! Hope this helps someone!
Edit: Fixed minor grammar and spelling pointed out by others. I appreciate the tips! I didn't expect this post to get as much attention! Thank you
Thanks for this.
Great points and great to see you form these for others as well. To these I would also add,
7. Read not just contemporary books but also those that are considered classics. The English (and I assume English to be the target here for articulation), in those classics, don't shy away from rigidness and flavor, and it did help me speak in similar manner as well.
8. Write, write and write. With pen, on paper. Old school. It helps in organizing our thoughts and our speech centres also benefits from this.
Great points. But from the hood and saying plz got me 😂
Great points, Chris. I also hear many many people these days who mangle past participles (I know one who continually says "should have did" instead of should have done.)
In addition, I also hear a lot of mixed up subjective and objective pronouns (so hard to understand). If you're not sure about, "Me and my friends went to the mall," then cross out the "and my friends" and you get "me went to the mall." That'll tell you right away that "me" is the wrong subjective pronoun. Should be, "My friends and I went to the mall."
It's the same with objective pronouns. Instead of "Would you like to go for ice cream with Jimmy and I?" Try, "Would you like to go for ice cream with I?" It makes it easier to say, "Would you like to go for ice cream with Jimmy and me?" Once you get these pronouns down pat, you'll hear people mangling them all over the place, sadly. Keep up the learning journey, it'll keep you young! 😄
I often axe myself how I might could improve but I'm finna figure it out doe.
Asking Jordan Peterson how to be articulate and listening to him articulate how to be articulate has to be one of the greatest moments on UA-cam
Wow this comment was well articulated
@swaj6 This morning I woke up, Today, in this morning, in the morning I woke up this morning, I woke up and remember that every morning that I wake up, I woke up that fucken day just remember that!
doesn't need quantity.
Agreed, the way his fingers were moving was perfect.
Articulately said. Articulate…
"Your success is dependent on your ability to communicate. " Thanks for the video.
"If you're guided by the spirit of honest inquiry and every word you say is reflective of what you believe to be the truth, then the pathway you walk on is a golden pathway to success"
- Jordan Peterson
Amen. We worship the Spirit of Truth.
Fuck yeah!
Orienting yourself toward the greatest possible good... Truth has no greater peer
@@dalelerette206 Did you know that the Bible refers to the Holy Spirit as the "Spirit of Truth"? Also, you might think this is very interesting if you have never read it. The following is the opening passage of the gospel account of John:
"1 In the beginning was the Word (logos), and the Word (logos) was with God, and the Word (logos) was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him not even one thing came into being that has come into being. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of mankind. 5 And the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not grasp it."
I believe that those opening verses are beholding the eternal reality of Jesus as Divine Logos. Another very relevant verse to meditate on is John 14:6 - Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me."
@@JoshCroft-od3me Thank you so much. Yes, I read that passage to my first son Blake while he was still in my wife's womb, 7 month's pregnant. Jesus is True God & True man. The confusion this Earth is going through seems to be an open assault against the Holy Trinity. Be blessed my friend.
I had a great teacher who once said,
" an intelligent person speaks so that the people around them can understand what they're saying". That saying has never left me
That was indeed a great teacher. The whole point of communication is to relay your message to the other. If you can't do that, well then, it went nowhere.
Wow that hits home! I have been thinking more and more about that lately. It seems the more someone doesn’t know about something the more they add words that THEY don’t fully comprehend but use anyway to convey their intelligence and understanding of the subject matter… but all it does is confuse the listener who doesn’t understand AND the one who does. In the end everyone is less clear on the matter. But the biggest takeaway is, no one is going to look to you again as a the person to ask for clarification from, it puts you on the outside. It’s better to be a listener who learns than to speak fodder and rhetoric leaving EVERYONE dumber for having listened to you.
You guys really need to read the bible. All JP’s wisdom he teaches is literally from the bible. It’s a massive mistake to dismiss it because of cultural brainwashing it’s just fairy tales and myths . There is extremely , amazing practical wisdom and intelligence in those books
@@barrywhite36thank you
Yep. Know your audience.
Being a person that is highly shy and introverted, It was hard for me to talk to others. I often felt so much pressure in talking to others. I feel so alien in group conversions and I perceived myself invisible. This video really gave me the confidence that it is possible to change myself and this comment right here is the very first attempt in committing to this journey of becoming a better articulate person.
The world needs you. Please keep writing ❤
this didn't give me the confidence bc i still feel shy but it did help me realise my problem greatly.
try making phonecalls to companies and query or something like that, google how and what to say to those companies and then practice.
you don't even have to really commit just practice and become good at being convincing and dealing with different tones over the phone
Same here! Let’s do it!!
Do it, just commit. I believe in you
im on the same boat. i feel invisible in group projects, i just sit there listening to how words just flow out of my classmates naturally and wonder why i cant speak like that. Deep down i believe i can speak clearly without sounding awkward I just need practice and confidence...
Man it makes me sad that I only discovered Jordan about a year ago.
My life has changed completely since I started listening to him.
Thoughts have become clearer.
Vocabulary has expanded.
And morals have been solidified and purified with the cleanest moest transparent water.
I can't ever thank you enough Jordan.
Listen to
dr Gabor Maté as well ….
Both are great
You should read the book of Ecclesiastes. Jordan Peterson can offer some good counsel, but something that I believe can be learned from the book of Ecclesiastes is the value and place of wisdom, and what true wisdom really is, from the wisest man there was until Christ came (who is greater than Solomon).
But even though I Ecclesiastes rightly stresses the value of wisdom, it also stresses the futility of it - that is, without God. The same fate happens to both the wise and the foolish. All will die and face the Creator. Wisdom is better than folly. But they’re both futile without consideration for eternity. Jordan Peterson, again, does have some very real value to hearing him. But the very beginning of wisdom, according to the very Scriptures of God, is the fear of the LORD. Jordan Peterson does not have faith in Jesus Christ, to my knowledge, and the wisdom he offers isn’t true wisdom. The wise and the fool both perish. So if you haven’t, please repent of your sins and believe in Jesus Christ today, because whoever believes in Him will not be put to shame!
Be happy instead that you discovered him my man! Look on the bright site of life
You weren't Ready Then. Your Timing is PERFECT❤
Did you read any books?
What a privilege to be alive and to absorb this wisdom!
Wont last long. AI has entered the room.
@@chrisklugh :D
@xtrmst_01 The more you learn of modern foolishness, and the more wisdom from those wise few you gain.

"Why be literate? Well, do you want to be competent and dangerous or vague and useless?"
-Jordan Peterson
Vague and useless
What about vague and cunning? 😶
I wanna be like trump
The reason an articulate person is held in high esteem is because the person listening gains the grace in what is conveyed. (It's easy to consume. The effect is like a healing-balm because the words conveyed have meaning, or it's useful, and it is easily understood, and so it has a calming effect as a result, which is appreciated). Therefore, we should aim to be one of those people, since we all talk much, so we should strive to do it well, because it encourages the other person to mirror it in response. Ultimately, if we accomplish good communication and also treat each other well, it is pleasurable to be around that person, as well as interesting (i.e. it's rewarding).
@crystaljumi that is an interesting thought
Another great thing to do is to record yourself speaking about your day. Consistently doing this helps improve articulation
Truth.
Absolutely agree!!!!!
It really does?
I love to get improved as a hood boy that is determined to be successful in life.
As someone who has been journaling every single morning since Jan 2017, I can say without hesitation, that to put thoughts to paper really helps to articulate what you're thinking.
And also choosing the right words before writing them down is a game changer in shaping how you feel about literally anything and everything in this world.
What do u journal about if you don’t mind sharing
omg same!
Remember to read too. Read great writers.
Did that for a couple of months every single day and didn't feel any improvement
@@Siuuuuuuuuuu7769try it for a year doing something for a couple months and expecting results is lazy
I never get tired of listening to Dr Peterson , even when i have to stop, go back and relisten more then once to most of his videos. He makes you think , and i appreciate that greatly.
I agree, he’s always good for laugh.
The extreme of both in- and articulate is equally despicable.
….because he’s articulate .
so true... He is the first person in my youtube rabbit hole life where I have saved multiple videos from like 5+years ago and STILL watch them to this day because of his message or 'articulation' in this case lol
I heard he was a psychiatrist.
As a former preacher, I totally get what he means. There is just a flow, a stream of consciousness that you can tap into, and you can discover something that you didn't know before you started talking. Also, I would just add that it helps to spend time by yourself in contemplation. It's really powerful.
I feel it, at times I feel so eloquent and my words are flowing, tapped in to this stream, then other times when I’m thinking too much I’m stammering over my words and doubting them as i speak
Former? Why?
Why arnt you preaching anymore ?
hi there, you used to be a preacher and you retired?
Got a better job maybe
"To become articulate, is to become the master of your own tongue"
How profound!
Pausing is such an important tool. It adds drama and depth to your speech. It engages your audience into what your saying. My top tip is to make sure you know your script by heart and speak with emotion.
It's called strategic pausing
Instrumentation. You missed the point.
Before lockdown began where I live, I wasn't very articulate. Mostly because English is not my first language, but I knew how to speak it well regardless. But because I was inarticulate, I had difficulty starting conversations and holding them. So much so that every time I was part of a group conversation, I was always waiting for an opportunity to jump in and contribute to it. And by the time I came up with a way to include myself, the conversation had already died down and everyone had lost interest. I felt like a background character, an NPC. I started to feel really lonely.
The inarticulate person that Jordan Peterson described, vague and useless, that was exactly what I didn't want to be. So once lockdown started, I prepared for when I would re-enter the outside world. I knew I had a problem and I started looking for ways to solve it. As unproductive as it sounds, I just watched more UA-cam videos, specifically more video essays about some of my interests, but also some other interesting topics I stumbled upon in my recommendations. I started to observe how people express themselves in the videos, their mannerisms, their expressions, their expansive vocabulary, everything that made a person look interesting while having a conversation. I wanted to be that kind of person, who stands out so much when they talk. So I copied it in the best way possible and rehearsed it in my head. I started looking for synonyms of common words I use and applying them to my speech and writing.
Immediately when I came back to school, still in lockdown, I hadn't become more successful at making friends like I expected. But I noticed many things. For one, I started reading English literature much better, and when I come across a new word I've never heard of before, I read it perfectly the first time. I also started to understand the literature much easier, whereas before I struggled a lot to find the hidden meanings. But the most important thing I noticed was that when I talked to people, I started to better understand what they were talking about.
Today, it's really easy for me to talk to people. I'm not as afraid of reaching out to new people as I used to, and I can hold conversations much better. I often give advice to my friends since I've become more approachable. Hell, everyone has started to tell me that I'm really easy to talk to. Being more articulate can really change someone.
You know what’s good in what you said? YOU APPLIED yourself to change and find solutions to a problem you had and you executed on it. I applaud you. This kind of mindset will take you very far in life. I can sense someone that has greatness in them just by how they take responsibility for their life and purpose. Bravo!
Well done. I can tell from reading your text that you have achieved the goal you sought as each sentence has structured reasoning and logically progresses the story.
What you will find over time is that the ability to express is just a part of the problem. The goal next, if I may suggest, is to expand your knowledge base with foundations that your mind can consider axiomatic. To do this I suggest a few books to get you on your way. The Self Gene by Dawkins. This will give you a grounding on why life on earth is the way it is, in particular the way men and women differ, the goals each sex has as objectives and the underpinning reasons. Add some philosophy (you are here so thats a good start). This together should give you the basics of human organization and relationships. I then suggest something odd, "A short history of nearly everything" by Bryson. Understand "why we know what we know" from that book a the he methods we used to understand the basis of science. I also suggest you consider a basic investigation of a book on programming called "Design Patterns". Don't buy it, just read overviews. This book will give you a map on "how humans solve problems". It's meant to be a book on programming, but it's very generic, and once you see the patterns, you can see the organisation that can rise from chaotic environments in chaos.
I would suggest that once you have axims in your mind you harden it up to 'outside ideas' increase skepticism and withhold judgement on most things. The best approach to this is a system of rationality where you never entirely discount possibilities, just think in vague probabilities and always assume that you can be wrong, and often will be. Over time, experience and ability to recognise human patterns and patterns of behavior will make you a good predictor of future outcomes or events.
I would say at that point you are dangerously intellectual as you are entirely independent of external thought, guided by your own philosophy, able to solve problems on your own with accuracy, but while maintaining backup plans as you assume some level of inaccuracy. I would also suggest you get in a gym and get strong Ryan Humiston\Jim Wendler are good sources of programs.
Lastly, being mentally dangerous is not enough. You have to be physically capable or else you are crippled and will have to compromise to cover for the weakness. Vigorously pursue anything you fear. I have done everything I suggest above. Best of luck.
I love this. Thanks for sharing!
@@nathanielacton3768 Thank you.
That’s really interesting. English is my second language as well, can you share some of the resources you used?
When you become articulate, it doesn't protect you. In fact, it invites even more people to come after you and try to take you down. The difference is is that you will no longer be afraid, as long as you are clear in your mind about what you intend. You will no longer be afraid because you can trust yourself. Articulation brings unshakable trust in your own being. Because you can always know your purpose, and for the very few people who have genuine curiosity about your situation.
It doesn't change anybody's mind, but it gives you your own firm foothold. And when you need to climb, there's always something to grab onto. Inarticulate people are genuinely lost lost. Don't be one of them. Articulation puts you into clear firing range of every critic. But it also allows you to fight back.
I agree with this. It’s very empowering. Well said!
Well said❤
Absolutely agree with you… In our modern world it’s more important to learn how to be quiet then to be articulate…. Less problem on your hands 🤫😐
Never ever did i read such nonsense
@@Cursein Thank you for your contribution. I've taken your ideas into consideration.
"some of the things I said made me feel weak"........ all I can say is this instantly made me think deep, very deep into my reflections of the past. Filled with regret in many instances. I will reflect on these words forever. I hope some people will see and understand how powerful this one sentence truly is.
I need to change my language. Change my approach, undo decades of toxic communication and practicing cheap words simply to fulfill a desire to always be right. I can and will be a better man than yesterday.
Oooh ❤
I intend to play this for my 15 year old grandson but I am listening for myself as well. For myself, I’m intrigued by “that’s how thought work”and “to make the word divine” I’m inspired to “go all in” and I hope my grandson will do the same.
I think a big problem with conversation these days is there is zero time allowed for pauses. By the time I have had a chance to think about what was actually said, the conversation has switched topics two or three times!
I agree, and think it can be a great way to practice. Wish you the best.
Exactly this!!!!! You wanna know why? Because most people are only listening to respond, not to understand. It's a huge pet peeve of mine. Since when have we lost the ability to listen? No one wants to listen intentionally anymore.
This is due to the lack of respect towards the speaker
I believe social media has contributed to this issue. Before cell phones, we had to sit and listen to one another. No distraction either. Now we are used to spending time scrolling through many sources of fast information each day(and night.)

Writing is cathartic. Extremely helpful in articulating and organizing my thoughts and emotions.
Thats how eminem did it in his songs
I feel that I struggle to articulate myself in most situations. Similar to Dr. Jordan Peterson when he first began, I am probably able to articulate myself 5% of the time. The other 95% I stumble over my words, anxiety takes over, and I use a lot of filler words. I say this because we all start somewhere and none of us are born with the skill to articulate. It is a skill that can be developed and improved over time.
Dr. Jordan Peterson lays out the importance and necessity to be articulate. Being articulate and saying what you merely believe to be true will thrust you into an adventure of a lifetime. My first step in becoming more articulate is writing this UA-cam comment. It is a small step, but a step in the right direction nonetheless. I hope to comeback to this UA-cam Comment Section and document my progress and I hope anyone reading this will accomplish everything they set their minds to.
Bravo! Looking forward to future progress updates. I'm on a similar journey.
Is there anything more engaging than your honesty and genuineness here? Thank you!
You will be heard, and not silenced!
That's encouraging.
I hear you. I think it would be useful to you to try not to sound articulate but instead just focus on speaking your points properly. Regardless, don't let your anxiety discourage you brah!
You can see him practicing the tools he's suggesting as he walks through his answers.
Peterson is certainly one of the best communicators of our times. So creative in his structuring and expression of ideas.
I've been investing heavily during the pandemic and I've been making quite a bit of money. Passive income is great since once you've built your nest egg, the money will continue to come in passively.

In a world where technology and social media have deconstructed the English language to mere acronyms, being properly articulate and well-read is more important than ever.
And the thing I find so frustrating with social media is the platform encourages people to speak without having to or even choosing not to define what they mean. Even if you define your comment... people love to dance around the point with emotion filled replies rather than be authentic and take on board what you are saying...
Acronyms by themselves aren't a problem.

@@margarinic Be careful with the "great writers". Depending on your intellectual level, less might be more. As a young guy I read all kinds of crap and liked it. Took me years to even realize how bad some of it was, verbally, structurally, content-wise. My best advice: read for fun. If you don't like a book, even if it is by an acclaimed author, put it down. Don't spoil the experience of reading by forcing yourself to slog through books you don't enjoy. Read what supports you in sticking to the habit of reading.
I don't leave comments on UA-cam videos, because I find it a waste of time.
However, this video was beautiful.
I am a middle school teacher, and I push this philosophy on my students constantly throughout the year. As an English teacher, ai feel it is my duty…but it also is SO VERY TRUE!! Being well spoken and articulate makes you elite in a sea of uneducated people in our current society.
It’s incredible how he manages to make something most would consider comparatively less important, into a moral question, in a very compelling way no less.
You're right! And that's also why I believe that it's important for everyone to learn to be more articulate, because, as you described it, he managed to make a moral problem out of an otherwise "mundane" situation. It is a real moral problem and it needs to be changed!
If everybody learned to be more articulate, imagine how much more "unspoken truths and situations" would be put to light and carried out by articulate and conscious individuals...
" If you're Guided by the spirit of honest inquiry and every word you say is reflective of what you believe to be the truth. Then the pathway that you walk on is a golden Pathway to success." Thank you very much for your advice.
I have no words for how much you have helped me grow as an individual. I have never been in better shape, and my relationship with my family has never been stronger. I have started to value my time and spend it in a way that would benefit me in a positive way. I am so gratful for all your fantastic words and for what you have done to inspire me to become a better person.
*I began my investment journey at the age of 27, primarily through hard work and dedication. I am to share that my passive income exceeded $100k in a single month for the first time. This success reinforces the importance of the advice mentioned earlier. It is not about achieving quick wealth, but rather ensuring long-term financial prosperity.*
Investors should exercise caution with their exposure and exercise caution when considering new investments, particularly during periods of inflation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a professional or trusted advisor in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields.

How wonderful of you Jordan to reiterate this simple truth, of how important the spoken word really is !
Yeeesssss!!!!
Jordan B. Peterson, you are an amazing individual. You consistently impart your message with depth, a high level of intelligence and grace. Truly you are among the most articulate orators and educators of this generation. You make this world a better place, and you are a stellar example of humanity, compassion, and magnanimity. Thank you for ALL that you do. PS- your blazer is rad. Both the navy and burgundy colors are well suited to your complexion.
Thank you for everything you do Dr. Peterson! You have made a huge impact in our household and we couldn’t thank you enough! I pray for you and your family everyday! Keep fighting the good fight! You are the articulate voice we needed in this dark and desperate time! ❤
:)
I have been listening to Dr. Peterson since 12 rules was released. Since then I have taking his advice I have since doubled my income in a new career in tech. I’m engaged to be married with the woman of my dream. Closing on a house next week. Thank you.
Fantastic!! More power 2 U!
Yes, well said. WORDS are IMPORTANT....PAY ATTENTION to WHAT YOU SAY...be considerate to others that hear you. Reward them for listening to you.
Honestly, the biggest thing is writing and allowing yourself a pause. Pausing instead of rushing out your answers is so powerful.
JP truly is a Godsend. His words are a true beacon of light.
What Peterson doesn't mention is that learning to speak well is primarily a practical thing and the reason he's so good is not only because he approaches it with a good framework but more importantly because he had years of experience public speaking
I think the motivation to articulate better is really vital. For example, I stuttered severely in my childhood years. I was everything you could think of, timid and unassertive. However, I was compelled to improve upon my speech and everything associated to it. I read a lot to build my vocabulary and also taught in the children's ministry. I have significantly improved over the years as a result of being determined.
it's 100% true. There is no quick fix
That "good framework" includes being very intelligent. He can articulate things the rest of us sense intuitively but can't put into words.
I am so grateful for this today.
I have a phone interview with a viewer big company, but have been working for myself & live a pretty remote life, so I feel/felt nervous that
I'll rush to answer things or maybe go blank on things I know.
Add to that I'm on an 8 week Hepc treatment that has made me feel foggy and grasping for the right words at times.
I listened to this, and the last part where he talks about pausing, and answering with what you know to be true; just really helps a lot.
Thank you Jordan wherever you are!
You just made my entire year, my entire life existence, and all in one UA-cam video. Thank you so much Jordan Peterson, for telling the truth and speaking your mind.
Listening to Jordan can sometimes make me see that life is almost unbearably beautiful. It's so beautiful because life can be so meaningful, and he gives us the tools to reveal that meaning in everything we do. There's no such thing as a meaningless life.
Deeply observant point. Well said. Though beauty is elusive due to unrighteousness, I too have been becoming acutely aware of the miracle of Providential giftedness, order and the potential for perfection in life by following a moral compass at all costs
He shows me how dumb I really am. I'm so bad at being articulate. So bad infact that at job interviews, I sound like an idiot.
I concur... with everything u said except the last sentence... there totally is such a thing as a meaningless hollow life... I know what that means in a way that am ashamed to even describe to u. . Anyway. I loved yr comment.
Hav a ♡ day.

@@veemtz4368 Never give up. Never.
@@dillianwhyte443 Jordan makes me feel like my head is stuffed with old rusty paint cans compared to him so there's that. I don't know you but if I may offer an impression about your job interviews? Don't try to be articulate. Instead, focus your attention and LISTEN closely, in a serious but friendly way. Most people don't really listen to others---and yet it is deeply satisfying to the other person to know that you are carefully paying attention to them in a respectful way. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Don't be afraid to take a little time to collect your thoughts before speaking. I read a quote a long time ago that really helped me overcome my somewhat shy and insecure affect: Self confidence is the decision to be more interested than afraid.
This is so important. As JP has said before, it's necessary to firstly know what we want and secondly how to express it. What has helped me with this is keeping a journal.
What a thoughtful and heartfelt response.
Even his filler words mentioned in this talk are clearer than my whole speech.
Time to practice the most important skill.
Thankyou sir for all of your great work.
I was just thinking about this. Tammy is the best...So bright, strong, yet supportive of Jordan's calling. Never underestimate the power of a great woman.
What a beautiful, articulated answer I always learn so much from you. Thank you for what you do. I am so grateful that you are here on this planet, and the time that I am alive you have added a great value of volume and substance to my life. Blessings.
It's all so incredibly true. I work in big pharma, director level. When you really think before you speak, and when you speak well, clearly, and precisely, you own it.
I used to have a fear of speaking up in meetings when I was younger, but now I pretty much know exactly how to "perform" in meetings. The only problem is you get invited to more meetings!
This is a life changing speech! The best I've heard from him so far! Thank you for sharing, this is gold to me!
Say what you mean and mean what you say. I love words, I always have and always will. Thanks be unto the LORD for giving us this precious gift, the ability to speak. May we all learn to use it well -- for the good of all.♥️
Amen!
Absolutely... for the glory of God.
It is very heartwarming to see you (JP) back on stage and looking so healthy again, almost more focused, driven and together than before illness. Keep spreading the good word and giving hope to the young men like myself, who very much needed your counsel tonight.
Counsel.
A sincere and heartfelt thank you to Mr Peterson for motivating me to become more verbally competent and more articulate.Sir you are a gift unto mankind and I wish you get your flowers whilst you’re alive.❤
Loved how articulate Jordan is talking about being articulate. He is an inspiration
Talking to yourself constantly helps a lot (in my experience).
I love that you brought up asking questions and LISTENING as one of the best forms of education and articulation. Most people love to talk about themselves. And many people love to learn. The speakers get to express themselves, and the listener gets a free and exceptional education not found in books. And great bonds can be formed. Win, win, win.
Even when you take a long stop to take a breath, it seems you are articulating something to the audience. So great
I do not remember where and how I found this man but since I did I am so thankful and every time I read his book or I look his videos I feel some kind of growth in me and sometimes maybe enlightenment as well. Thank you Jordan Peterson.
I noticed reading for me makes the biggest difference in my vocabulary, thought processes, and articulation. I need to get back into some good books, as well as kicking the booze. I've done this a few times in my life and it's about time again to do so.
The biggest takeaway for me from this was writing. Most people think reading nowadays is neglected, which it is, but writing is even more neglected.
@@troybernal5085 true, I started just writing ideas and thinking through problems but kinda slacked off completely. Need to try and jot something down at least once a day until it becomes a good habit
If you are guided by the spirit of honesty and inquiry and every word you say is reflective of what you believe to be the truth then the pathway that you walk on is a golden pathway to success! Astounding men!
I've heard about this 'gaming' approach to rewards. Like in games if you kill a boss you get a better sward to kill a bigger boss. So you get something that will allow you to improve your progress in this area. Taking this into account, an appropriate reward for investing consistently and with discipline would be a better MacBook or a new car - something that would allow you to make your investing more effective or joyful, or at least something to encourage you to work harder
recently started in stocks and I don't mind investing a substantial sum, i'd like to know how to start, you seem like you know what you’re talking about?
@@gagnecaron658 I have some knowledge yes but i’ve been able to scale from 6 figures to 7 figures in this red season because my Financial Advisor figured out Defensive strategies which help portfolios be less vulnerable to market downturns.
@@taylorgreen5908 Is there any chance you could recommend who you work with? I've wanted to do this for a very long time now, but I've been very hesitant about it. I'll appreciate any recommendation.
i work with James Fletcher Brennan, he's the best
thanks for the tip, i just looked him up.. looking forward to working with him
I love the way he can express he's idea's through analogies,it makes me understand your way of getting your point through 😊🙏from Jimmy,Nowra,N,S,W, Australia.
This is beautiful. Thank you guys for making this content public in these clips
This man is such a gift to me and our world right now.
Agreed!
Can either of you articulate why?
If you're guided by the spirit of honest inquiry and every word you say is reflective of what you believe to be the truth, then the pathway you walk on is a golden pathway to success". This sentence makes me cry all the time. Thank you Jordan Peterson. Thank you.
What a brilliant speech on clear communication. He addressed all my concerns I ever had regarding how to be an effective speaker, and how to craft my words carefully and tactfully. I am glad to know like any other skill, this is learnable too. Wow! I am in awe.
That's well articulated.
The very act of listening to Jordan Peterson and searching up the meaning of all those words I never knew before gives me a wider repertoire of word to express my thoughts and ideas. I am extremely grateful for that.
:)
What a privilege to be able to listen to the wisdom of Dr Peterson! ❤
One of the most thoughtful people I have ever heard.
I would like to become more articulate this year because it is important in daily life. It will help me become a more strategic thinker and a better person to understand. I am thankful to have this information, thank you Jordan Peterson.
Hey Dr Jordan Peterson, I just wanted to tell you that I think you are a brilliant person. I'm grateful that I get to listen to what you have to share. Thanks
I think knowing what you are talking about and believing what you are saying is a big part of articulation. Reading and listening to articulate conversations are a couple of ways to increase your abilities as well.
He's a genius. Just listening to the way he explains things. Fascinating. Such a great role model of mine.
Long conversations with dear friends have helped me to become articulate and verbally fluent.
One huge key as a facilitator is to create and protect space for inquiry, silence, perspective-sharing, and deep-listening. Too few who seek to lead thought, facilitate, or "teach" lack the faith in their followers, conversational peers, or students to allow time and space for them to engage in a truly meaningful way.
I learned so much from his pauses. Love this.
Such a delight to have been at this event, something else live.
Pescador de Hombres, thanks so much, as always. I realized how important language was- precise language- when I thought I knew how to speak. I was arrogant, until in college I realized that I couldn't write. I really didn't know how to do so. It was shame, and the demand for respect, that motivated me, and eventually I became an English teacher. I am very grateful for that. I'm paraphrasing here, but it was Frederick Douglass that said something like learing to read was a blessing and a curse, for only then did he truly realize that slavery is in the mind. He also said that once you learn to read, you shall FOREVER BE FREE. Lois Lowry, and Ralph Waldo Emerson, are also a great inspiration, and of course, the words of the Messiah. I feel very blessed, and indeed I am. Thank you! The Gates of Hades shall not prevail.
Mike Rowe is one of my favorite writers and speakers. He's a wordsmith and never seems to disappoint with some new word I've never heard before that means precisely what he's trying to articulate. I recommend his podcast.
Seeing this man live was like attending a Revival. The people he attracts in a crowd have an energy that is fun to be part of.
Really grateful to you for informing the world about this important issue.
This man's wisdom frequently brings tears to my eyes.
Jordan Peterson teaching one how to be articulate!! Truly awe-inspiring. We are so blessed.
Thanks, Mr. Peterson. Now I do hope the goddess of eloquence will find it worthy to sit on my tongue someday and inspire me and all my fellow talkers/listeners and provide them with something of great value.
Thanks again and good luck to all of you guys.
“If you are guided by the spirit of honest inquiry and every word you say is reflective of what you believe to be the truth then the pathway that you walk on is a golden pathway to success.”
Saying this aloud to etch into my head. The key to success is finding harmony with humility and self-esteem. Thank you JP - the word is everything.
Wow… the fact that we get to absorb the knowledge we need In minutes is outstanding…
At 5:40 is all you need to know. Absolutely spot on. I discovered this by myself but having Jordan confirm this is reassuring.
Speak the truth, with compassion.
Im glad i had different freind groups growing up cause that got me to learn how to convey ideas with different wording, alot of times id end up as the mediator for that fact alone, its good to focus on the point you're getting across and keeping it clear and concise
I used to have a gift of speaking well. Years of trauma and tragedy and I've found my confidence eroded as well as my ability to speak. I now stumble and find it hard to convey to others what's flowing in my brain....I needed to hear this!
Well, it seems you still know how to write, so there's hope for you, yet. One step at a time, right😊
@@ethanfrederiksen4327 Nice response. 😊
Pick yourself up and try again no matter what.
Your gift is still there, always with you… it just got hidden. Sometimes we shrink to accommodate others; denying our talents in order to appease those who are easily intimidated. Sometimes it is a matter of survival. I trust your confidence can and will be restored. Your natural gifts are your birthright; uniquely yours, and designed to be shared as well. ❤
@@whitneynewman2452 Thank you, I needed to hear your kind encouraging words.
After years of vain and instrumental abuse of language, practicing clearly perceiving and articulating the meaningful truth has transformed my mind, my relationships, and my life. A growing number of people are picking up this powerful practice, and we are talking with each other! Thank you, Dr. Peterson, for instructing and encouraging this generation of honest, effective communicators.
:)
I am always told how articulate I am. My husband comments on it. My friends, new people I meet, old bosses…you name it. “You’re so good with words” “you say it better than anyone”, “you speak like a poem”
I read a lot & I always have. I also don’t speak unless I know what I’m talking about so the “umm” “like” “mmm” rarely happen because my brain knows what it’s trying to say. I recommend to read a lot. Write a lot too
Yet again, JP is astounding inspirational even after re-listening to him.
These 10-20 minute Q&A videos are bomb! Thanks for taking us with you!
Love it!
Writers write!!
Ahh. My journals are busy these days.
Keep creating from within. ❤
