Shadowing-Übung: Never Worry About Money Again... - Englisch Sprechen Lernen mit Video

how to become financially independent.

Here's number one.

First of all, you got to have the right philosophy.

Now, let me give you a couple of philosophies to consider.

Here's the first one.

It's called the philosophy of the poor.

Poor people usually spend their money and invest what's left.

That's the philosophy of the poor.

Now, here's the philosophy of the rich rich people invest their money and spend what's left.

And here's the startling answer.

It really doesn't matter what the amount is.

What's most important is not the amount.

What's really important is the philosophy.

So I would ask you to adopt this philosophy.

And I've got a little formula that I'm going to share with you.

Now, what should a child do with a dollar?

Here's one opinion, it's only a child and it's only a dollar.

What difference does it make?

Well, in my opinion, it makes all the difference in the world.

A person's economic future starts with a child with a dollar.

Somebody says, oh no, you're only young once, let him spend the dollar.

Well, when would you hope that would stop?

He says, well, wait till he's 50 and broke like me, and you know, and then he'll learn.

Well, no, we don't want to wait that long.

So what should a child do with a dollar?

Here's the simple premise to begin with.

Don't spend it all.

And if a child wants to spend the whole dollar, you got to say, hey, don't spend it all.

They'll say, why not?

It's my dollar, I earned it.

You say, I know you earned it, but don't spend it all.

They'll still say, why not?

Say, let me show you why not.

So you put them in your car, take them to the other side of town, and show them where people live that spend the whole dollar.

Just drive them around.

Kids learn best by visual.

Just drive around and say, would you like to live here?

Kid says, no. Would you like to live like these people live?

Kid says, no, no. Then you can't spend the whole dollar.

So, kids will get the message.

So, you know, take them to the other side of town and show them around, unless you already live there, and then just show them around.

Anyway, don't spend the whole dollar.

Now, let me give you my best view of what to do with the dollar.

Here's my first bit of advice.

Never spend more than 70 cents.

Now, you got to pick some number and the number you pick is going to be determined by your philosophy.

It's going to be determined by what you've been taught or your experience teaching yourself.

When I first met my teacher, Mr. Shoaff, I was at about 110% of each dollar.

And then I learned a whole better formula for financial independence.

Number one, don't spend more than 70 cents.

Now, kids say to me, well, okay, what do I do with the other 30 cents?

And here's what I teach them.

10 cents for charity.

We're helping people that can't help themselves.

Ten cents to support worthy projects, projects that you feel good about, 10 cents out of every dollar.

It's called being generous.

Now, in my opinion, nothing teaches us character better than generosity.

No class, no teacher, no book teaches character better than generosity.

And the best time to start is when the amounts are small, because when the amounts get larger, sometimes it's a little more difficult.

You know, giving a hundred thousand out of a million, someone says, oh, if I had a million, I'd give a hundred thousand.

I'm not sure.

That's a lot of money.

So the time to start is when the amounts are small, 10 cents out of the dollar.

Okay.

Next 10 cents.

I call active capital.

Active capital means do something to make a profit.

active capital.

Set aside a portion of your income.

Wages are okay, but I'm telling you, wages will make you a living.

Profits will make you a fortune.

So set aside part of your income as capital called active capital.

Any kind of project you can possibly think of, you can possibly come up with.

Then you must jot this down if you're taking notes.

Profits are better than wages.

And then there's no limit to profits and they can they can double and triple and quadruple.

You know, there's no limit.

It's incredible how fast profits can grow.

So profits are better than wages.

Wages make you a living, profits make you a fortune.

Now, the third 10 cents is vitally important.

I call it passive capital.

Capital, you let somebody else use.

A financial institution, stocks and bonds, mutual funds, whatever.

Let someone else use it.

You furnish the money.

They use it to make a profit, but they pay you for the use of it called interest.

And here's one of the things that'll make you financially independent fairly quickly, and that's called compound interest.

And this is how you get it.

Letting someone else use a portion of your money, your substance.

They show the profit.

They pay you interest.

And this passive capital, I'm telling you, over a sustained period of time, if you'll develop this little 10, 10, 10, and 70, you will be financially independent.

You'll have the ability to live from the income of your own resources.

And then one more point on passive capital.

The borrower is servant to the lender.

And if you want to be in a powerful position as you grow older, finally, when you become mature, maybe have your own business, things have worked out for you for the future.

The position you always want to be in is the power position.

100

And that's called the lender.

101

The lender is the power position.

102

So if kids learn early enough and then you ask them what they'd like to be when they grow up, I'm telling you, once they understand, they'll say, well, one of the things I want to be is one of those lenders.

103

That's the power position, not the spender.

104

No, you'll be pitied the rest of your life if you just become a spender.

105

You got to become a lender.

106

Can't we teach our children how to take a dollar, search the neighborhood, find a broken wagon, pay a dollar for it, bring it home, you know,

107

clean it up, sand it until it's clean, paint it red till it shines, straighten out the wheel still they're true, take it back to the neighborhood, sell it for five dollars.

108

Anybody can do that.

109

Finding something, touching it, making it better, making a profit.

110

Now does the child deserve $4 profit?

111

And the answer is yes.

112

Society now has a mended wagon.

113

Capital in the hands of the kids.

114

Capital in the hands of the people.

115

Enterprises that make a profit.

116

Enterprises that grow.

117

It's the hope of our future.

118

So that little simple formula, I hope will help you.

119

Now one more key on financial independence, and that is attitude.

120

Attitude.

121

Here's number one.

122

I used to say, I hate to pay my bills.

123

My teacher straightened me out on that.

124

He said, let's see, Mr. Rohn, what you hate to do is pay $100 on an account and reduce your liabilities and increase your assets.

125

I said, well, no, not if you look at it that way.

126

He said, well, it all depends on how you look at it.

127

So wouldn't you love to pay your bills, reduce your liabilities, increase your assets?

128

You've got to have that kind of attitude.

129

I found out the same attitude about taxes.

130

I used to say, I hate to pay my taxes.

131

And Mr. Shoaff said, well, that's one way to live.

132

But don't you understand taxes is how we care and feed the goose that lays the golden eggs.

133

Wouldn't you want to do your share?

134

Someone says, yes, but the goose eats too much.

135

Probably true.

136

But hey, we all eat too much.

137

We all need to go on a diet.

138

Better a fat goose than no goose.

139

So I finally became a happy taxpayer.

140

Now, I think taxes are too high, so I'm working to get taxes lowered for our economic future.

141

But then whatever they turn out to be I gladly pay do my part

142

because that's what makes the whole system run Each of us doing our part

143

Now I want these three subjects to be valuable for you.

144

I Want them to have meaning for you.

145

I Want you someday to be financially independent.

146

I Want you to have the personal development so that you feel good about yourself

147

If I had a chance to meet you someday I'd like to have you show me the list of goals

148

that you got started and say, Mr. Oh, and here's some I've already checked off.

149

Here's the books I'm reading.

150

Here's what's happened.

151

I'm developing the skills.

152

I'm better this year than I was last year.

153

I've got more self-confidence.

154

My skills are developing.

155

That's what I want for you.

156

And that's why I took the time to come and share in this video message with you.

157

I do seminars all around the world, but this is one way that I can reach out and touch you in case you can't come to my seminars, wherever I am.

158

Maybe this video will reach you somewhere and it'll have an impact on your life.

159

And what I'd like to do is later hear about it, a letter, phone call, or to have a chance to meet you in person.

160

And now I'd like to leave you with these four questions called questions to ponder.

161

These questions were valuable for me and I want to make them valuable for you.

162

Here's the first one.

163

Why?

164

We all ask why we should work this hard.

165

Why take that many classes?

166

Why go to school that many years?

167

You know, why take the notes?

168

Why read the books?

169

Why work that hard?

170

Why put yourself through the push ups and the disciplines?

171

Why?

172

Good question.

173

Why?

174

Best answer to why I think is the second question.

175

Why not?

176

Why not see how many books you can read, how many classes you can take, how many skills you can develop?

177

Why not see how valuable you can become to the marketplace and to your friends and to your family?

178

Why not see what you can make of yourself?

179

Why not see how far you can go, how much you can see, how much you can earn, how much you can share?

180

Why not?

181

That's the heritage all of us have now that we've been given this extraordinary opportunity.

182

Now, my My third question I'd love to ask you in person, but since I can't do it in person, I want to ask it of all of you.

183

But I want you to take it personally.

184

And my third question is, why not you?

185

Why not you?

186

With good self-esteem, why not you starting to change and setting goals?

187

Why not you starting to make progress toward financial independence?

188

If I can do it, you can do it.

189

I wish I had a lot more testimonials here today besides mine.

190

A whole steady stream that would come by and tell you their story.

191

Someone who started with nothing, finally run a big enterprise.

192

A mother who was on welfare, now she owns her own business.

193

In addition to my story, I wish I had a lot more.

194

And if all of them told their story, guess how they would probably wind up their story?

195

They'd probably say, just like me, why not you?

196

If we can read, you can read.

197

If we can change, you can change.

198

If we can figure it out, you can figure it out.

199

If we can turn it around, you can turn it around.

200

There isn't anything you can't accomplish.

201

That's what those testimonials would say.

202

And so I want to say it to you personally.

203

Why not you?

204

You've got the brains.

205

You've got the stamina.

206

You've got the vitality.

207

You've got the interest.

208

You've got your life ahead of you.

209

You've got the future.

210

You can do it.

211

If anybody can do it, you can do it.

212

If one of us can do it, hey, we all can do it.

213

And now here's my last question.

214

Why not now?

215

This is a good time as the 20th century starts to

216

wind down a few more years as we get ready for century 21.

217

What a good time to set your goals, work on yourself, work on your skills.

218

What a good time to get it together.

219

What a good time to start this process.

220

personal development, growing, changing, developing, having a good plan for your money and for your life and for your future.

221

Why not now?

222

And I hope I have a chance to see you one of these days and share with you the experience, the reaction, response you might have had from my message today.

223

And until I get a chance to see you on this side of the world or the other side of the world, in some school or some seminar,

224

I want all that I've gotten to be yours and much, much more.

225

God bless.

226

Goodbye.

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.
