Creando lección...
1
Here are seven rules you can apply to any challenge that you face in achieving anything you desire.
2
Rule number one, the most important key to achieving great success is to decide upon your goal and then launch.
3
Get started.
4
Take action. Do something.
5
Move.
6
A 12 -year study at Babson College concluded
7
that the act of taking the first step is what separates the losers from the winners
8
or the winners from the losers we set out at the
9
age of 20 with 300 each to cross three continents
10
and travel 17 000 miles from vancouver on the west coast to johannesburg in southern africa
11
and we made it in just under 12 months
12
but the most important step was the first one all the rest followed from
13
that number two once you've launched towards your goal never consider the possibility of failure.
14
The Germans have a saying, it's immer vorne, nie zurück.
15
Immer vorne, nie zurück.
16
And it means always forward, never backward.
17
Always forward, never backward.
18
Never consider the possibility of failure.
19
Every person here is here because they refuse to quit when the going got rough.
20
Your ability to persist in the face of setbacks
21
and disappointment is vital to all great achievement and it's always a decision that you make.
22
It's not the external environment it's always the internal environment number
23
three the biggest goal in the world can be accomplished
24
if you just take it one oil barrel at a time thomas carlisle once wrote
25
that our great business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance
26
but to do what lies clearly at hand the only time you will ever have is now
27
if you live every day every hour the best you can
28
the rest will take care of itself as the bible says
29
sufficient unto the day are the cares thereof number four watch
30
out for the naysayers the negative people around you are always telling you
31
that you'll die in the desert get around positive people get
32
around winners like people in this room fly with the eagles
33
and refuse to listen to objections and reasons why you can't succeed someone once said
34
that if every possible objection must first be overcome nothing will ever get done
35
and truer words were never spoken number five welcome obstacles
36
and difficulties as valuable
37
and inevitable steps on the ladder of success remember the difficulties come not to obstruct
38
but to instruct difficulties come not to obstruct
39
but to instruct our trip to africa was one problem after another we ran out of money over
40
and over we strained every muscle of our bodies trying to ride bicycles across france
41
and spain our land rover broke down again
42
and again we suffered from dysentery and heat stroke and exhaustion
43
but when it was time we were ready for the sahara crossing in retrospect we saw clearly
44
that without the lessons
45
that we had learned from our mistakes we would have surely died in the desert
46
and when you look back on any achievement you will find it was preceded by many difficulties
47
and many lessons they are the price that you pay for your success
48
and no success is possible without them number six be clear about your goal
49
but be flexible about the process of achieving it be willing
50
to change to try something new keep your mind open
51
and fluid and flexible be willing to accept feedback from your environment
52
and correct your course this is a key quality of peak
53
performers they're not rigid they're flexible remember it's not what you have
54
but what you do with what you have
55
that separates winners from losers it's not what happens to you
56
but how you respond to what happens to you
57
that counts in the final analysis your response to the adversity
58
of life is the real measure of who you are
59
and what you're made of the Greek philosopher Epictetus once said
60
that circumstances do not make the man
61
or woman they merely reveal him to himself
62
when you find out who you really are when you face adversity
63
and remember number seven the last rule is nobody does it
64
alone at every step in our journey across Africa people helped us with advice
65
and with food and with assistance and with money
66
but especially with warmth and with kindness and with generosity
67
when life is over it will be the people that we lived
68
and laughed and loved with that we remember more than anything else
69
so don't be afraid to ask for help from others it's a mark of strength and courage and character
70
and don't be reluctant to give of yourself to others generously it's the mark of caring
71
and compassion and personal greatness the reason the sahara story was
72
so relevant for me was that because after the sahara i never felt
73
that there's anything i couldn't do i felt programmed for success
74
for life although it took me many years to understand it
75
and the reason why this story may be of interest to you is
76
because i believe
77
that everyone has a sahara to cross perhaps more than one
78
many of you are crossing your own saharas right now everyone
79
eventually goes through periods of great difficulty their own private hells their dark nights of the soul
80
but it is by facing whatever life gives us with courage and determination that we grow more surely.
81
toward the stars let me leave you with the last verse
82
of carry on there are some who drift out in the deserts of doubt
83
and some who in negativity wallow there are others i know who in piety go
84
because of a heaven to follow but to labor with zest
85
and to give of your best for the sweetness
86
and joy of the giving to help folks along with a hand
87
and a song why there's the real sunshine of living carry on carry on fight the good fight
88
and true there's big work to do believe in your mission
89
greet life with a cheer there's big work to do
90
and that's why you're here carry on carry on let the world be the better for you
91
so at last when you die let this be your cry carry on my soul
92
carry on ladies and gentlemen ladies and gentlemen
93
if you will resolve whatever life ends you to carry on there is nothing
94
that can stop you from achieving the greatness for which you were created thank you

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
