script: 
我从现在年轻人的表达当中我没有看到个性，我看到的是共性。我很少很少看到一个年轻人，给我有个性的表达，让我一惊。我*，这话，他这么说？这么看？我几乎看不到。语言都趋同，表达方式趋同，词语趋同。我不觉得今天的孩子比我们那会儿孩子更有个性，真的一点没有。为什么？还是因为你们每个人有个手机，有一个网络。网络和整个的媒体在教你们怎么说话。然后你们统一性越来越强。
表达   biǎo dá fāng shì；the way they speak
个性   gè xìng；personality 
译文translation:
I can't see the personality in the expressions of young people now, what I see is the commonality. I seldom see a young man who gives me a speech of personality that surprises me. Which can makes me think ‘Why did he say that? Why did he have this idea?’ I can barely see it. Languages are the same, the way they speak are the same, and words are the same. I don't think the young people now have stronger personality than our times, really not at all. Why? That’s because each of you has a cell phone, the Internet and the entire media is teaching you how to speak. Then you guys become more and more unifie.

Understanding the “Laziness Factor”
When you’re feeling lazy about learning a language, it usually means you’re lacking motivation or genuine interest. Although research shows that motivation is a critical driver of engagement in learning, you have to be aware that not all motivation is the same. This is because there’s intrinsic motivation (which is interest that comes from inside you) and extrinsic motivation (which are rewards and incentives that come from outside you). To keep moving forward, it helps to know which type of motivation works best for you.

To Overcome Your Laziness, You Have To Find A Personal Connection With The Language You Are Learning.
If you’re struggling with motivation, tapping into internal interest can help. Studies show that people are more likely to engage in activities they find personally meaningful. Here are some ways to cultivate this type of interest when the thought of language learning makes you lazier by the second.
