1組目　シアトル出身の男性に聞いてみた！

Where are you from sir?

Seattle Washington area

It must be pretty cold now, or…?

It’s a lot chiller there right now, than it is here

I guarantee you that we don’t have the sunshine

But, do you have beaches there?

We have beaches, but they are not like this

Like rocky beaches, they are nothing like this

Ok! So, I be you are having holiday here now

I am having a holiday

Just hanging out for a week and my first time in Australia

We had to come to Bondi Beach today

That’s good, that’s good

You must be having a good time then

Having a blast we’re just getting started

It’s our first day here We got off the plane

Really?

Like four hours ago

Welcome to Australia then

Thank you very much I’m glad to be here

Would you mind me asking, how old are you sir?

Could you tell? I have gray

I’m 54 years old

You? You look good!

Well, thank you you look good too, man

Thank you very much

How old are you?

How old do I look?

Ahh I’d say 30 or 31

Wow, you are good yeah, 32

Alright, there you go

Ok what do you do for work?

I am a school administrator

So, the theme of this video is

What sort of advice will you give to your youth

Before we dive in to the main question

I’m going to ask you some questions let me ask you some questions, please

How satisfied are you with your life?

Out of 10

I’d say I’m 8 or 9 most of the time

You are pretty happy, aye

Yeah

What is the other 1 or 2?

I think it is just because the stress of my job and the stress of life

Can knock down things down

But most of the time I’m always operating at 8 or 9

Ok school principal sounds like a busy job

How many hours do you work usually in a week?

50 to 60 hours a week

That’s a lot! You work a lot yeah?

Yes, it’s not a bad stree it’s just a good stress

Because you’re trying to help kids

You are dealing with people

You are building children’s future

That’s a good job

It’s heavy but positive joyful stress at times too

100%

Do you have anything that you do in your life

To keep yourself happy and up or a rule in your life?

My rule is I try to get out at least twice a week

To the outdoors and do something outside

Hiking climbing, on the river

Like, exactly what you are doing now

Exactly I believe you have to get out doors to refresh your soul

Yeah what do you get from that?

Like I said it clears my head, clears my mind

Everything floats and

I can be present in nature

I love going to the remote places and just getting away from everything

I agree with you

It’s definitely good for your mental health

Before I give you the last question, bit about myself

I fortunately I have a business and it has been pretty good

That fact keeps me happy

It is not a regret, but when I was 19 or 20

People around me used to tell me that

“You should be doing YouTube or something because you are good at holding conversations you are a person who is good at it”

Or “You should start learning something” and do it consistently

Because it is gong to help make money in the future

Or be successful person

However, I did nothing until like 29

Because I was like I just want to do something fun in my life

So, I had no efforts or no challenges needed at the time

That is what youth is for

Exactly I know

Now I feel like

If I am giving advice to myself in my youth

I would say “Do something and learn something when you are young”

It is going to build up

Then you will have something that people don’t have when you are 30 or something like that”

If you are going to give advice to yourself in your youth

What sort of advice would you give?

For myself, and even for the youth today I would say

“Find something that you don’t mind doing in life

And do it with all your might”

“But don’t live to work

Work to live”

So, work is this opportunity for you to do go something in life

That you love doing

“Chase your dreams”

But as you are chasing dreams

Sometimes you got to be intentional

If you are going after your dreams you have to be intentional

You have to have a plan

But don’t forget to live in the moment”

Don’t get so consumed with what you are pursuing

You forget be present in the moment of

What you are doing or what is around you

Right so make sure you have a goal

And make sure you are facing the goal

And keep the effort toward it

But don’t forget to enjoy the moment

Yeah, it is that balance

It’s that yin and yang and the Zen of

Chasing your dream

But being present in the moment so you don’t pass it by

And looking back with regret

That’s true you are living in the moment right now

Having good time in Australia

I hope you have a good time

Alright thank you

Thank you very much

You bet

2組目　シドニー出身の女性に聞いてみた！

Where are you from?

I’m from Sydney Australia

You’re from Sydney Australia

What have you been up to today?

I just came to enjoy the sun and go sunbaking in the beach

This is very random but the theme of this video is about

What sort of advice would you give to your younger self?

So, before we dive in to the main question

Let me ask you some questions about yourself please

Would you mind my asking your age?

I’m 29

29? You look pretty young for 29

Thank you

What do you do for your career?

I’m a communications specialist

Communications specialist? So am I!

I talk to people this is my job

So, what is that? What do you do in this job?

So I work in a business

And I deal with the internal clients

So, we have lots of different departments in our business

There are departments there that I look after

All their communication needs that can be internal or external

So, if they want to communicate

Something like a special project for example

To the rest of the business

Then I will come up with a communications plan to get that communication out there

But also external, if you think about social media

I will then help create the content

So that’s creating the text

Creating content taking photos

Editing images for them

I’m very sorry with my luck of vocabulary

But that job sounds interesting and fun

Is it job that you wanted to get since younger age?

I went to university and I studied journalism

I figured out that journalism is not for me

Because I am no super extroverted

And I’m not super opinionated

So, I felt like it was out of my depth to continue in that career

But communications and public relations

Is something that you use similar skills for

So, I went in that direction

I feel like it is something that I’m quite good at

And you can connect with a lot of people

And I think that is something I take pride in

I love communicating with other people

And I love understanding

And getting to know people on a personal level

But also, being able to provide business needs for them too

Right

How satisfied are you with your life?

Out of 10 at the moment?

I would say 9 out of 10

Wow!

Only because you know I think every day

You do something to make yourself feel happy

So that is something I always try to do

I do work Monday to Friday

So that means most of my days are occupied by work

So something to make my life more fulfilling besides my career is making sure that

I do something that makes me happy

In the time that I am not working

So usually that is going to the gym or sometimes that is going to the beach

That is something that I enjoy

I think if I got to bed every day

Knowing that I have done something to make myself happy

Then I feel fulfilled in my life

Wow

It’s good that you know how to ake yourself happy

Not many people know that actually, I think

Let’s go to the main question of this video

Before that, a bit of about myself

Fortunately, I have my business and it’s been good

And that fact makes me happy, keeps me happy

But when I was younger, 19,20

My friend used to tell me that you should start doing

Because you want to make your life better

It is like younger the better, earlier the better

But I didn’t do anything

Because I was a lazy as

And just wanted to do something fun

So, I regret

So, my advice to my youth is like

“Start doing something, do not think too much”

“Just do it and keep doing it”

Because when you grow up it will be bigger

If I had done that, I would have been able to

Come here with a helicopter, I think

SUPER RICH!

Also, I was not good at getting help from people

I couldn’t ask, maybe that was my pride

And didn’t want to get the help from people

But I think it is important

To be able to ask someone for help

So that’s what I would say to myself

What sort of advice would you give to younger yourself?

So, if I could speak to myself in the past I would say

“To not be so serious about life and really enjoy every day”

I went from going to high school

Straight into university then

Straight from university to full time work

I never really gave myself a break

So being career focused at such a young age

I feel like you do have regrets when you are older that

You didn’t get time to travel

I think that is one big thing that if I could go back in time

I would travel and do more adventurous things

You know when you are younger, your health is at its peak

Your physical body is at its peak

So, I think you really need to take advantage of that time

Where you at your prime to really do the more adventurous things in life

So definitely travel

And also don’t be so serious saving money at that age

I think especially, id you are still living at home with your parents

And they are more than happy to look after you

I think that definitely put your money towards experience

Invest your money towards experiences

That’s right

Because you can’t take time back

But you can always make money

I feel like that it’s something I really just understood being older

Because now that I am older and I have been able to save that money

I haven’t thought about to save more money

I always though I’m going to invest to travel

Because there is so many things that your eyes can see

I grew up in Australia

And there is so much more in the world

I have also been to Japan

When I went to Japan, I thought

This is such a different universe

That I would have missed out if I didn’t put that money to traveling

So, I think it definitely give yourself time to experience

New surroundings, new environments

But also look after your health

People focus on the drinking culture, partying

Too crazy sometimes?

They go really crazy after high school

But I kind like feel like if you invest in your health

You are doing your future self a favor

That’s true I feel it now

Exactly

But that is something that is a habit, I think

It is a habit that you should probably start when you are younger

So, when you are older you don’t take that staff for granted

And you won’t regret it

That’s what changed my life as well

When I was younger especially when I was a teenager and university time

My mum used to tell me that save money

Don’t waste your money

But I spent it all on traveling

And all of that and I don’t regret anything

I don’t blame my mum

But it is important to invest your money towards the experiences

As you said, in Australia so many people do that

And travel all around the world and experience

I think they seem happy

It’s really important

Now I understand you are really

Really good at talking and super good at expressing your feelings

You’re the professional

Thank you very much for your help

Please enjoy your day

3組目　シドニー出身の2人組に聞いてみた！

Where are you from?

I’m from Sydney

Sydney Australia

Ok, good looking men from Sydney Australia

How old are you guys?

Ahh, 26

27

Good age

How old do I look?

Hard to guess

Hence you are asking

Maybe mid-20s. 25

How old do I look?

I’d say in between 27 to 30

Yeah, pretty close 32

You look good for your age man

Thank you

Ok, this is very random but

The there of this video is about what sort of advice

Will you give to your younger self

What do you do for a career?

I do air conditioning I have my own business

What is it, sorry?

I’m in the construction field

Ok, right

I work in IT I’m an engineer

Oh yeah, you are hiding your big muscle under your suit under your shirt

Doing this?

You would not need this muscle to do that job

How satisfied are you with your life?

At the moment out of 10

At the moment I would say 7

What is the other 3?

Visiting countries

Exploring the world

Right, so you are missing that

Yeah, and obviously

Marriage and kids and all of that

Still have room to improve

What do you think?

I reckon probably say 8 out of 10

The 2 that I would work on

Will be family and kids that’s be one point

Then working on myself to be a better version of myself

I haven’t reached my best yet

You better stay in the gym and look for the fit ladies

That’s not everything but

Do you have anything that you do in your life to keep yourself happy or

To keep you up or motivated?

To be honest I actually meditate

I train, obviously I work out

So do I actually I meditate too

Working keeps me sane

Apart from that I mean life is doing good

What do you think?

I’d say training going to the gym, being in the sun

going on walks and staying healthy

Literally what are you doing now

Yeah, literally what I am doing on a Saturday

And I’d say hobbies

So whatever hobbies you enjoy

What is your hobby?

Fishing

Fishing and riding bikes

So is mine what the heck what the heck’s happening?

I go fishing and I meditate

Very nice

I’m like you then same

Yeah, same mentality

Ok, the last question is going to be like this

What sort of advice would you give to yourself in youth?

To be honest, stay out of trouble that is the first thing

Stay out of trouble, you were wild?

Yes, I was a bit rebellious when I was young

Obviously start a trade when I got out of school

Actually, I started very late

I started at the age of 18

I’m 26 now so if I was a bit younger

At the start of the trade then I would be somewhere by now a bit more further in the path of life

Apart from that, yeah

Earlier yeah? Start earlier

Earlier the better Earlier the better in life

What do you think?

I would say pretty much the same

I wish I had started everything that I am doing now younger

As when it comes to gym fitness, focusing in your health

focusing on your finances, focusing on your career

Should done everything a lot younger

That way I would have probably shed like 3 years of progress that

I waited to get to where I am right now

If I had started everything younger right now I’d obviously I would be way more higher

But it is what it is

You can’t go back in time

But I reckon, you are both focused on your goal now

And you are doing well so

Thank you very much please enjoy your day

The theme of this video is going to be about

What sort of advice would you give to your younger self

Before we dive in to the main question

Let me ask you some questions about yourself

What do you do for work?

I’m a market research consultant

So, it’s a lot of data analysis

It’s not too crazy

It sounds like a good money job then

Ummm, it’s ok

You are working in a company, right?

Yeah

Is it the job you wanted to do, since you were young?

No, definitely not

I feel like I never had a real idea of what I wanted to do

So I’m still figuring it out

How did you end up with that job?

I did psychology in Uni

Which is a lot of statistics

So, I kind of fell in to it from that

This is very random question but

How satisfied are you with your life at the moment?

Out of 10

Out of 10

I would say 8.5

Man, Australian people are happy!

8.5 What is the 1.5?

I want to do more travelive, which should be coming up I want to experience more stuff

Europe Typical

Typical but good

I never had a membership

I’ve always done pilates, netball and team sports

Oh, that’s why you look fit

Getting there

Coz, you are like you have only started to go to the gym

But you wouldn’t look like that if you don’t go to the gym

Ok, so fitness

It is important

Ok, let’s go to the main question

I know it is going to be a tricky one

What sort of advice would you give to your younger self?

I think the No.1 thing is

Stop caring what other people think

Did you care?

Oh, so much! I still care too much

And I feel like the best thing to do is to do your own thing

And get advice from other people

But stop stressing about their opinion of you

That is what you are trying at the moment

Trying to not listen too much at the others and listen to yourself

Yeah, just do your own thing go with the flow

That’s true

Are you doing good with that now?

Yeah, I’m trying

Ok thank you very much

Please enjoy the super beautiful beach day
