1
So I had the chance to meet with some of the kids in the program today.
2
Where are you?
3
Scream out.
4
There you go.
5
I love those kids.
6
And So what I thought I would do--
7
because they gave me a little bit of time Um.. to say whatever I want.
8
is offer you a little bit of some observations for your future.
9
I have five little rules that you can follow as you find your spark and bring your spark to life.
10
The first, is to go after the things that you want.
11
Let me tell you a story.
12
So a friend of mine and I, We went for a run in Central Park.
13
the Roadrunners organization, On the weekends, they host races.
14
and it's very common at the end of the race they'll have a sponsor who will give away something.
15
apples or bagels or something.
16
And on this particular day, when we got to the end of the run, there were some free bagels and they had picnic table set up,
17
and on one side was a group of volunteers On the table were boxes of bagels, And on the other side was a long line of runners waiting to get their free bagel.
18
So I said to my friend, "Let's get a bagel." And he looked at me and said, Ah, the line's too long.
19
And I said, free bagel.
20
And he said, "I don't want to wait." in line.
21
And I was like, free bagel.
22
And he says, "Nah, it's too long." And that's when I realized that there's two ways to see the world.
23
Some people see the thing that they want, And some people see the thing that prevents them from getting the thing that they want.
24
I could only see the bagels.
25
He could only see the line. And so...
26
I walked up to the line.
27
I leaned in between two people, put my hand in the box and pulled out two bagels.
28
And no one got mad at me.
29
Because the rule is, you can go after whatever you want, you just cannot deny anyone else.
30
to go after whatever they want.
31
Now I had to sacrifice choice.
32
I didn't get to choose which bagel I got.
33
I got whatever I pulled out but I didn't have to wait in line.
34
So the point is, is you don't have to wait in line.
35
You don't have to do it the way everybody else has done it.
36
You can do it your way.
37
You can break the rules.
38
You just can't get in the way of somebody else getting what they want.
39
That's rule number one.
40
Rule number two.
41
I like this one.
42
in the 18th century, There was something that spread across Europe and eventually made its way to America called purple fever.
43
also known as the Black Death of Childbed.
44
Basically, what was happening is women were giving birth and they would die within 48 hours after giving birth.
45
This black death of childbirth
46
was the ravage of Europe and it got worse and worse and worse over the course of over a century.
47
In some hospitals, It was as high as 70 % of women who gave birth.
48
who would die as a result of giving birth.
49
But this was the Renaissance.
50
This was the time of empirical data and science, and we had thrown away things like tradition and mysticism.
51
These were men of science, these were doctors.
52
And these doctors and men of science wanted to study and try and find the reason for this black death of childbed, and so they got to work studying,
53
and they would study the corpses of the of the women who had died.
54
and in the morning they would conduct autopsies
55
and then in the afternoon they would go and deliver babies and finish their rounds.
56
And it wasn't until somewhere in the mid -1800s that Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, father of Supreme Court Justice, Oliver Wendell Holmes realized
57
that all of these doctors who are conducting autopsies in the morning
58
weren't washing their hands before they delivered babies in the afternoon.
59
And he pointed it out and said, "Guys, "You're the problem." and they ignored him and called him crazy for 30 years.
60
until finally somebody realized that if they simply washed their hands, it would go away.
61
And that's exactly what happened.
62
When they started sterilizing their instruments and washing their hands, the black death of childbed disappeared.
63
My point is The lesson here is Sometimes you're the problem.
64
- Thank you.
65
We've seen this happen all too recently with our new men of science and empirical uh.. studiers these men of Finance.
66
who are smarter than the rest of us until the thing collapsed.
67
And they blamed everything else except themselves.
68
And my point is, is take accountability for your actions.
69
You can take all the credit in the world for the things that you do right, as long as you also take responsibility for the things you do wrong.
70
It must be a balanced equation.
71
You don't get it one way and not the other.
72
You get to take credit.
73
when you also take accountability.
74
That's lesson two.
75
Lesson three.
76
Take care of each other.
77
The United States Navy SEALs are perhaps the most elite warriors in the world.
78
and One of the seals, was asked, Who makes it through the selection process?
79
Who is able to become a seal.
80
And his answer was, I can't tell you the kind of person that becomes a seal.
81
I can't tell you the kind of person that makes it through buds.
82
But I can tell you the kind of people who don't become SEALs, He says the guys
83
that show up with huge bulging muscles covered in tattoos who want to prove to the world how tough they are, none of them.
84
Make it through.
85
He said the preening leaders who like to delegate all their responsibility and never do anything themselves, none of them make it through.
86
He said the star college athletes who have never really been tested to the core of their being.
87
None of them.
88
make it through.
89
He says some of the guys that make it through are skinny. and scrawny.
90
He said, some of the guys that make it through, you will see them shivering out of fear.
91
He says, however, all the guys that make it through, when they find themselves physically spent.
92
emotionally spent.
93
When they have nothing left to give physically or emotionally,
94
somehow, some way, they are able to find the energy to dig down deep inside themselves.
95
to find the energy to help the guy next to them.
96
they become seals.
97
He said.
98
You want to be an elite warrior.
99
It's not about how tough you are.
100
It's not about how smart you are.
101
It's not about how fast you are.
102
If you want to be an elite warrior, you better get really, really good at helping the person to the left of you
103
and helping the person to the right of you.
104
because that's how people advance in the world.
105
The world is too dangerous and the world is too difficult for you to think that you can do these things alone.
106
If you find your spark, I commend you.
107
Now who are you going to ask for help and when are you going to accept help when it's offered?
108
Learn that skill.
109
Learn by practicing helping each other.
110
It'll be the single most valuable thing you ever learn in your entire life.
111
to accept help when it's offered and to ask for it when you know that you can't do it.
112
The amazing thing is when you learn to ask for help, you'll discover that there are people all around you who've always wanted to help you.
113
They just didn't think you needed it because you kept pretending that you had everything under control.
114
And the minute you say, "I don't know what I'm doing.
115
I'm stuck.
116
I'm scared.
117
I don't think I can do this."
118
you will find that lots of people who love you will rush in and take care of you.
119
But that'll only happen if you learn to take care of them first.
120
Thank you.
121
Lesson four.
122
Nelson Mandela is a particularly special case study in the leadership world because he is universally regarded as a great leader.
123
You can take other personalities and depending on the nation you go to, we have different opinions about other personalities.
124
But Nelson Mandela across the world is universally regarded as a great leader.
125
He was actually the son of a tribal chief.
126
And he was asked one day, "How did you learn to be a great leader?" And he responded that he would go with his father,
127
to tribal meetings, and he remembers two things.
128
when his father would meet with other elders One.
129
They would always sit in a circle.
130
and two, His father...
131
"was always the last to speak." You will be told your whole life that you need to learn to listen.
132
I would say that you need to learn to be the last to speak.
133
I see it in boardrooms every day of the week.
134
Even people who consider themselves good leaders, who may actually be decent leaders, will walk into a room and say, "Here's the problem, here's what I think, but I'm interested in your opinion,
135
let's go around the room." It's too late.
136
The skill to hold your opinions to yourself until everyone has spoken does two things: One, it gives everybody else the feeling that they have been heard.
137
It gives everyone else the ability to feel that they have contributed.
138
and two, you get the benefit of hearing what everybody else has to think before you render your opinion.
139
The skill is really to keep your opinions to yourself.
140
If you agree with somebody, don't nod yes.
141
If you disagree with somebody, don't nod no. Simply sit there, take it all in, and the only thing you're allowed to do is ask questions,
142
so that you can understand what they mean and why they have the opinion that they have.
143
You must understand from where they are speaking.
144
why they have the opinion they have, not just what they are saying.
145
And at the end, you will get your turn.
146
It sounds easy.
147
It's not.
148
practice being the last to speak, That's what Nelson Mandela did.
149
Number three.
150
Number five.
151
Monty Python.
152
One, two, five, three!
153
for all the other nerds in the audience.
154
- - There's one.
155
- Thank you.
156
Number five My favorite one of all.
157
True story.
158
There was a former Undersecretary of Defense.
159
who was invited to give a speech at a large conference about a thousand people.
160
and he was standing on the stage with his cup of coffee, and a Styrofoam cup giving his prepared remarks with his PowerPoint behind him.
161
And he took a sip of his coffee and he smiled and he looked down at the coffee.
162
And then he went off script.
163
And he said, "You know, last year, I spoke at this exact same conference.
164
Last year, I was still the undersecretary.
165
And when I spoke here last year, they flew me here business class.
166
And when I arrived at the airport, There was somebody waiting for me to take me to my hotel.
167
And they took me to my hotel and they had already checked me in
168
and they just took me up to my room.
169
And the next morning I came downstairs and there was someone waiting in the lobby to greet me, and they drove me to this here same venue.
170
They took me through the back entrance and took me into the green room
171
and handed me a cup of coffee in a beautiful ceramic cup.
172
He says, "I'm no longer the Under Secretary.
173
I flew here coach.
174
I took a taxi to my hotel and I checked myself in.
175
When I came down the lobby this morning, I took another taxi to this venue.
176
I came in the front door and found my way backstage, and when I asked someone, "Do you have any coffee?" he pointed to the coffee machine in the corner,
177
and I poured myself a cup of coffee into this Here, Styrofoam cup.
178
He says the lesson is The ceramic cup was never meant for me.
179
It was meant for the position I held.
180
I deserve a Styrofoam cup.
181
Remember this.
182
As you gain fame, As you gain fortune, As you gain position and seniority, people will treat you better.
183
They will hold doors open for you, They will get you a cup of tea and coffee without you even asking.
184
They will call you sir and ma 'am, and they will give you stuff.
185
None of that stuff is meant for you.
186
That stuff is meant for the position you hold.
187
It is meant for the level that you have achieved of leader, or success or whatever you want to call it,
188
but you will always deserve a Styrofoam cup.
189
Remember that.
190
Remember that lesson of humility and gratitude.
191
You can accept all the free stuff.
192
You can accept all the perks.
193
Absolutely you can enjoy them but just be grateful for them and know that they're not for you.
194
I remember getting off The Assella.
195
I took the Acela from New York to Washington, DC.
196
And I got off the train like everybody else, And I was walking down the platform like everyone else.
197
And I walked past General Nordy Schwartz, who used to be the chief of staff of the United States Air Force,
198
the head of the Air Force, And here I did, you see a guy, in a suit, schlepping his own suitcase down the platform just like me.
199
And just a couple months ago, he was flying on private jets and he had an entourage and other people carried his luggage.
200
but he no longer held the position And so now he got to drag his own suitcase.
201
and never did it sort of remind me more that none of us deserve the perks that we get.
202
We all deserve a Styrofoam cup.
203
It was a pleasure meeting you guys this afternoon.
204
I was blown away by your honesty and your curiosity, and your poise
205
And I am confident that the future is bright despite the fact that America looks like an absolute mess right now.
206
I am confident that the future is bright for one reason and one reason only.
207
because you will grow up and you will be our future.
208
Thank you very, very much, guys.
209
You're wonderful.
210
Thank you.
211
you

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
