1
There's a lot of things that can wreck your chances to do well.
2
We live in a rather dangerous world, so you got to be not only wise, you got to be careful.
3
And attitude diseases are deadly.
4
I mean, they'll destroy all the good things you start.
5
So we'll go through those attitude diseases, how to spot them, how to look for them, what they are, and the cure.
6
And I'm a pro on these because I've had them all, so I can give you excellent advice on these.
7
Here's the list, attitude diseases.
8
Number one is indifference, the shrug of the shoulder, the guy's not even concerned he's just drifting there's one problem with drift
9
you cannot drift to the top of the mountain the guy says well i can't see getting all
10
that worked up well to be any kind of winner
11
you got to get worked up here's the key to the good life learn to put everything
12
you've got into everything you do.
13
Whatever you are doing, pour it on.
14
It will quickly open up into opportunity or quickly disclose to you that you ought to be doing something else.
15
The delusion is, if I had a better job, I'd really pour it on.
16
See, that's delusion.
17
Wherever you are, pour it on.
18
See, that'll help change your life.
19
Get rid of this disease.
20
Here's the next attitude disease, indecision.
21
mental paralysis.
22
The guy can't make up his mind and it becomes a disease.
23
Pretty soon he knows he's got it.
24
The guy says, well, I know I'm on the fence.
25
But he says, what if I get off on the wrong side?
26
Listen, after a while, it doesn't matter.
27
Just get off.
28
Any side will do.
29
Here's the best way to live.
30
One way or the other.
31
That's best.
32
Pick a direction and go with everything you've got.
33
Just pick one and go.
34
Somebody says, yeah, but what if it's the wrong direction?
35
You'll find out quicker.
36
A life full of adventure is a life full of many decisions.
37
The ones that turn out to be wrong give you better experience to make better decisions.
38
So don't see how many decisions you can get out of.
39
See how many you can get into.
40
That's where the adventure is.
41
So shake off this disease, indecision.
42
The next one is doubt.
43
Doubt's like a plague.
44
And one of the worst is self -doubt.
45
There are many, but that's one of the worst.
46
The guy doubts himself, doubts if it'll last that long for him, doubts if he can do that well, doubts if he can make that much,
47
doubts if he can accomplish all that.
48
A chronic, excellent self -doubter.
49
You can imagine what damage that does to your future.
50
So here's the key.
51
Turn this coin over and become a believer.
52
And there's many things to believe in.
53
One of the majors is yourself.
54
The understanding of self -worth is the beginning of progress.
55
Now, if those three don't get you, this one will.
56
Worry.
57
That's a devastating disease.
58
Worry.
59
Worry causes health problems, social problems, personal problems, family problems.
60
It's devastating.
61
Worry long enough, it'll drop you to your knees, could reduce you to begging.
62
I know how bad this one is.
63
I used to have it bad.
64
I used to be known as a super worrier.
65
Not a super warrior.
66
No super worrier.
67
My family wished I'd have been a warrior.
68
I got those years to make up for.
69
But I tell you what, My advice to you is do what I finally did on worry.
70
Give it up. Who needs it?
71
I'm not saying it's easy.
72
I'm saying it's worth it.
73
It took me almost one year to kick the worry habit.
74
And it was not an easy year.
75
It was one of the toughest years I ever spent.
76
But I finally got that monkey off my back.
77
And I discovered you could live the most incredible life free of worry.
78
Not free of challenge.
79
Not free of difficulty free of worry i learned how to do it
80
and you can here's the next attitude disease over caution some people never will have much they're too cautious
81
now you can also be too reckless but you can also be too cautious
82
this is called the timid approach to life and my caution was always the risk.
83
Risk used to drive me right up the wall.
84
I used to say, what if this happens?
85
It's called the language of the poor.
86
What if this happens?
87
And on top of that, if this was to happen, look at the fix I'd be in.
88
I better not try.
89
I could always ace myself out.
90
Then I'll tell you what changed my whole life when I finally discovered it's all risky.
91
The minute you were born, it got risky.
92
If you think trying is risky, wait till they hand you the bill for not trying.
93
If you think investing is risky, wait till you get the tab for not investing.
94
See, it's all risky.
95
Getting married is risky.
96
Having children is risky.
97
Going into business is risky.
98
Investing your money is risky.
99
It's all risky.
100
I'll tell you how risky life is.
101
You're not going to get out alive.
102
That's risky.
103
The Englishman says, well, if that's the way it's going to work out, let's give it a go.
104
Right, that's what it's for.
105
Give it a go.
106
Somebody says, yeah, but I'm looking for safety and security.
107
Fine, then huddle in a corner.
108
We'll cover you with a sheet, bring you three meals a day.
109
And we'll protect you, feed you, look after you, care for you.
110
We won't let anything happen to you.
111
And you'll probably live to be 100.
112
The guy said, well, yeah, I'd live to be 100.
113
But what a way to live.
114
Right.
115
What a way to live safe and secure.
116
Don't ask for security.
117
Ask for adventure.
118
Sure.
119
Better to live 30 years full of adventure than 100 years safe in the corner.
120
Here's the next attitude disease.
121
We're almost through with this motley list.
122
In fact, we're almost through.
123
Hang on.
124
The next one is pessimism.
125
Pessimism, the deadly disease of always looking on the bad side, the problem side, the difficult side, checking all the reasons why it can't be done.
126
The poor pessimist leads an ugly life.
127
He doesn't try to figure out what's right.
128
He tries to figure out what's wrong.
129
He doesn't look for virtue.
130
He looks for faults.
131
And when he finds them, he's delighted.
132
How ugly.
133
This is the poor guy who looks through the window, doesn't see the sunset.
134
He sees the specks on the window
135
and this is the poor guy right who rushes up takes such leave of his senses this guy rushes up
136
and he says i've got five good reasons why it won't work he's
137
so dumb he doesn't know all he needs one he's got five to the pessimist the glass is always half empty
138
To the optimist, the glass is half full.
139
Why would the same measure affect people two different ways?
140
Answer, it all depends on how you look at it.
141
Our lives are mostly affected by the way we think things are.
142
Not the way they are.
143
The way we think they are affects us most.
144
There's a subject we don't have time to get into tonight called better thinking habits.
145
One of the major things
146
Shove taught me when I met him, he said, poor thinking habits keeps most people poor.
147
Not poor working habits.
148
Most people work hard, but they don't think hard.
149
And Shove taught me that the mind is like a factory, a mental factory.
150
And whatever you think about all day long pours ingredients into this mental factory.
151
And that's what builds the economic, social, financial fabric of your life.
152
As you think, so you become.
153
How awesome.
154
When he talked about poor thinking habits, he had me.
155
I used to start the day reading the morning newspaper.
156
I mean, you can believe that or not.
157
I'd get a cup of coffee and read the paper.
158
I'd load up on wars and riots and murders and stabbings
159
and killings and bank robberies and muggings and car wrecks and tragedies.
160
I'd even read the back pages.
161
I seemed to like that stuff for some weird reason.
162
I'd load up on all that and then I'd start the day.
163
You can imagine the kind of days I used to have.
164
You walk around on your financial knees.
165
They call you economic peewee.
166
The guy says, I want to be a great leader.
167
Wonderful.
168
The first thing we do is follow him to his house.
169
When we get there, we walk in and check his library.
170
Number one.
171
Somebody says, well, why check his library?
172
The reason is because what a man reads pours massive ingredients into his mental factory
173
and the fabric of his life is built from those ingredients.
174
You would not believe what some people have got in their house to read.
175
You would not believe.
176
One of the best dressed up words I know for a lot of it is trash.
177
Can you imagine dumping a barrel of trash into this mental factory every day and coming out with a rich, dynamic, positive life.
178
It can't be done.
179
You might as well try making a cake with cement.
180
The kids back in Danbury, Connecticut, high school, they're asking me questions one day.
181
I'm talking to the kids.
182
Kids got good questions these days.
183
One of them said to me, Mr. Rohn, how do you build the good life?
184
I said it's simple.
185
It's not easy, but it's simple.
186
Here's how you build anything.
187
Select the right ingredients, keep out the wrong ingredients, and it starts with thought.
188
Everything starts with thought.
189
So you must be wise and careful what you think about because that starts everything.
190
I asked the kids, what would happen if somebody dropped sugar in my coffee?
191
They said, well, you'd be okay.
192
I said, what if somebody dropped strychnine in my coffee?
193
They said, well, you'd be dead.
194
I said, correct.
195
Lesson one, life is both sugar and strychnine.
196
you've got to be careful.
197
I said, what if my worst enemy drops in the sugar?
198
They said, will you be okay?
199
I said, what if my best friend, even by accident, drops in the strychnine?
200
They said, well, you'd be dead.
201
I said, correct.
202
Lesson two, watch your coffee.
203
You got to be careful.
204
See, it doesn't matter who hands you the bad stuff.
205
It doesn't matter where you get the bad stuff.
206
It'll still do its damage on your bank account, wherever you get it.
207
Mr. Shulff gave me one of the greatest phrases when I first met him when he said,
208
Jim, every day stand guard at the door of your mind.
209
how important stand guard at the door of your mind
210
and you decide what goes into your mental factory don't let anybody just dump anything
211
they want to in your mental factory
212
because you've got to live with the results okay here's the last disease
213
and we're through with this list the last subject is very free the last disease.
214
But this one is deadly.
215
Engage in this one.
216
Indulge in it even slightly and you might as well forget the future because it's going to forget you.
217
Complaining, crying, whining, griping, a Bible word called murmuring.
218
See, that'll ace your future.
219
Spend five minutes complaining and you have wasted five.
220
And you may have begun what's known as economic cancer of the bone.
221
Surely they will soon haul you off into a financial desert
222
and there let you choke on the dust of your own regret.
223
I hope I said that well, so you won't forget.
224
It's a deadly disease.
225
Just be on the lookout of the things that can destroy all the good you start.
226
The war is on.
227
And this evening, tomorrow, mentally, personally, socially, economically, you got to make sure you're winning the war.
228
And this is part of it.

¿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.
