Lektion wird erstellt...
1
You like to talk about the grind, but you don't really know what the grind is like.
2
I know what the grind is like.
3
I was homeless.
4
I ain't out of trash can.
5
Now, I'm one of the number one speakers in the world.
6
Some of you are soft.
7
You're soft.
8
You want to be a champion, but you don't want to work like a champion.
9
I dare you to give 120% and stop choking.
10
I dare you to take a little pain.
11
You ain't gonna die at the end of pain and success.
12
You're not gonna die because you're feeling a little pain.
13
You gotta wake up every day and you gotta go get it.
14
Execution is not something that we do.
15
It's something that we are.
16
And most of us aren't disciplined.
17
Because if you don't have personal discipline, you'll never get to the next level.
18
If another human can tell you to get up and go to work and do what you want to do, you'll be that human.
19
Your mind is the most important thing you have.
20
And you gotta control it.
21
You gotta move you.
22
I'm human just like everybody else but let me tell you why I won't fall.
23
I will not give up 20 years of grind.
24
I will not put all this in for 20 years and give it up overnight.
25
I work too hard.
26
And if you wake up at 4 o'clock for 30 minutes of sleep, you might be pushing your goals back a week,
27
a month, an entire year by sleeping for 2 hours because you missed an opportunity.
28
What is your bottom when you've been worshipped since middle school?
29
You've been tall your whole life, big your whole life.
30
They worship you so much now that you think it's about you.
31
You don't even know what the grind looks like.
32
I'm from Detroit, homeless.
33
Mama got pregnant with me at 17 years old.
34
High school dropout.
35
Took me 12 years to get a four-year degree.
36
I'm coming now.
37
It's in view.
38
You finally made it to the big leagues.
39
And now you want to chill?
40
Now you got the big hair?
41
Now you can't grind?
42
You here now!
43
You thought for one minute that you broke me!
44
You got me twisted!
45
And to get to the next level of success, you can't just have energy when you got energy.
46
You're gonna have to learn to be disciplined.
47
It's gonna be a fight.
48
At some point, you gotta go take the life out of it.
49
Go get it!
50
Don't run from it no more.
51
Go get it!
52
You go in there and go get that grade.
53
You go in there and get that information so you can pass that class.
54
You gotta go get it.
55
If you don't punish yourself, it's never gonna happen.
56
If you don't punish yourself, somebody say, you're losing weight.
57
I punish myself.
58
I don't eat meat no more.
59
That's a punishment.
60
I had to give something up to go up.
61
What do you give up?
62
Do you not watch TV?
63
That's your problem.
64
You get to watch TV and not make money and still survive.
65
The reason why you broke is because you're getting a reward and you ain't working.
66
The good part of you know you can go to school and get a 4.0.
67
The lazy part saying we ain't getting up today.
68
Stop calling other people haters and look at yourself in the mirror and say I'm hating on me.
69
Someone you can quit because you ain't paid for nothing.
70
You gonna wake up most days and not be pumped up.
71
You gonna wake up most days and not feel like doing it.
72
But when you can get to a point that you do it anyway, then there's no way you won't reach any of your ghosts.
73
If you're ready to quit, you ready to give up, you ready to give in.
74
You ready to give in?
75
You ready to tell me what's not working, who doing this, what's wrong?
76
If you're not ready to get up every day and start all over again like nothing happened yesterday.
77
If you're soft, you want to get out now.
78
And you don't get here by quitting when you're tired.
79
You get here by quitting when you're finished, when you're done.
80
You don't stop when you're tired, you stop when you're done.
81
You stop when you complete it, when you execute it.
82
Execution is worship.
83
Ask any mother that's had a child.
84
It's probably feel like they're gonna die.
85
But guess what?
86
They get through it on the other side when
87
that child comes out they forget all about the pain your dream come on you push
88
and I'm like you know cookies
89
and ice cream push it's a lie it's inside how do
90
you know you feel it you dream about it you eat
91
and sleep every day when people talk to you tell them this is what I'm gonna do
92
so push just push past the play push don't quit don't
93
get push you push your way to success you push yourself to the next level This is where you start chilling.
94
This is where you get comfortable.
95
You made it now.
96
You made it now.
97
You're in the big leagues now.
98
They watching you now.
99
This is where you make it permanent.
100
You are where you are because of who you are and if you're going to get somewhere else, you're gonna have to change something.
101
I don't care what happens in your life.
102
I don't care what it looks like.
103
I don't care where you are.
104
Every single day you wake up.
105
If you're gonna have energy, if you're gonna have passion, If you're gonna have drive every day you wake up you got to start with that vision
106
And so I'm looking at the clock
107
and I'm saying technically you can go back to sleep technically
108
But if you go back to sleep you might not wake up to 3 30.
109
You might not wake up to 4 o'clock He had a meltdown in class.
110
You might have a couple more before success.
111
It's a part of the game
112
You can't be successful without some meltdowns Stop struggling for another year
113
and a half and be free for the rest of your life.
114
Or you can say, I'm tired of struggling and stop struggling and struggle for the next 20-30 years.
115
Press fast it.
116
Come on.
117
Stop whining and crying and giving up.
118
Press fast it.
119
It's going to hurt.
120
Yes!
121
You got to stop playing.
122
Most of you, what happens is when everything is favorable, you're a beast.
123
But when the conditions ain't white, you get smacked in the face.
124
You got to grow up.
125
You gotta be a morning person, afternoon person, night person.
126
You gotta be when you feel good person, when you sick person, when you tired person.
127
There's a sense of urgency.
128
You don't have as much time as you think you do.
129
And so you gotta pick up the pace.
130
You walking too slow, pick up the pace.
131
You moving too slow, pick up the pace.
132
You don't have a lot of time.
133
You only got 24 hours.
134
So all of your energy needs to go into your goals.
135
Why?
136
Because I love myself too much to get distracted.
137
I love myself too much not to execute.
138
Discipline is doing what you said you were going to do
139
when you don't feel like doing it when you felt like doing it in the first place.
140
You've got to discipline yourself and you've got to learn that when you don't feel like it, you must still do it or actually go harder when you don't feel like it.
141
Because out of 365 days, there are going to be days you don't feel like getting up.
142
There are going to be days you don't want to work out.
143
There's going to be days that you don't want to practice.
144
There might be days you don't even feel like getting in the game.
145
I don't need you thinking about it no more.
146
You're doing too much thinking.
147
You're analyzing too much.
148
You're talking yourself out of it.
149
I just need you to keep moving.
150
I need you to make up in your mind that the only way you can lose is if you quit.
151
I just need you to keep going.
152
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, ain't no such thing as tomorrow.
153
We only got today.
154
What I've learned about the greats is that they understand it's a sense of urgency that once the clock goes out, it's a W or a L.
155
You either win or you lose.
156
Practice don't make perfect, practice make permanent.
157
This permanent y'all this is permanent you can go wherever you want to go from here It does not take talent.
158
You don't have to be talented Right, you don't have to be gifted.
159
You don't have to be the quickest the strongest You don't
160
have to be the most intelligent to get to where I am.
161
That's what you gotta do You just gotta grind though your grind you gotta out grind Greatness is in you,
162
but the problem is somebody's got to push you the problem is somebody's got to give you a reward
163
Work while you wait.
164
You don't know how long it's gonna take But
165
if you stop now
166
if you quit now the one thing I can tell you
167
is for certain is never gonna happen Delay don't mean denied
168
Delay just mean you're gonna have to wait a minute when the unsuccessful are in delay they get nervous They get worried.
169
They give up.
170
They quit.
171
They stop.
172
They surrender because they don't see what they think they should see But when the successful are in delay, we work while we wait.
173
We grind in between time.
174
We don't give up.
175
We don't surrender.
176
We don't quit.
177
We see differently.
178
Our perspective is different.
179
And because our perspective is different, our outcomes are different.
180
Our rewards are different.
181
If you will be a champion, if you will be a beast, you're going to have to go through something.
182
Stop looking for affirmation.
183
Stop looking for somebody to pat you on the back.
184
And you just get up on Monday and grind.
185
And get up on Tuesday and grind.
186
And get up on Wednesday and grind.
187
And get up on Thursday and grind.
188
And get up on Friday and grind.
189
And if you grind, no days off.
190
No holidays.
191
No snow days.
192
No weekends off.
193
No birthdays.
194
You heard me.
195
You keep grinding.
196
And you stay persistent.
197
And you locked in.
198
One day you gonna wake up.
199
And you gonna be exactly where you dream to be.
200
The problem is you're not self-motivated.
201
You have to stay in beast mode.
202
Listen to me, you better grow up and get to the point as a man that if you ever get beat, you better get beat by somebody that's just purely more talented than you are.
203
You better not ever get beat by somebody because you beat yourself.
204
You have to take advantage of an opportunity of a lifetime in the lifetime of the opportunity.
205
I am not phenomenally skilled, but phenomenally will.
206
I will not give up.
207
I will not surrender.
208
I will not quit.
209
And your problem is you giving up too easy.
210
Let me tell you something.
211
You sitting in this room, you think you're going to be 18 for the rest of your life.
212
You think you're going to be 19 for the rest of your life.
213
You got an opportunity right now that you won't have five years from now.
214
And so I'm looking at the clock and I'm saying technically you can go back to sleep, technically.
215
Technically, but Eric Thomas
216
if you go back to sleep you might not wake up
217
to 3 30 You might not wake up to 4 o'clock and
218
if you wake up at 4 o'clock Eric for 30 minutes of sleep You might be pushing your goals back a week.
219
You might be pushing your goals back a month You might
220
be pushing your goals back an entire year by sleeping for two hours because you missed an opportunity
221
You have an opportunity right now that you never have people say why you rhyme
222
so hard I might not be the number one motivational speaker in the world five years from now.
223
I've got to get everything I can get right now.
224
Every book I can write.
225
Listen to me.
226
My school is being paid for by the athletic department.
227
I'm hot right now.
228
Every day when I wake up, people say, why are you so excited?
229
Because I have a mental picture of where I want to be.
230
I have a mental picture of what I want to do.
231
And even when I was in an abandoned building, I saw that I would not be in an abandoned building forever
232
and I was homeless once now I own two homes
233
because although my circumstance was homeless my vision was it The
234
worst thing in the world is not growing up in poverty
235

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.
