1
Life is not in a box.
2
There's no rules.
3
It's what you make with life.
4
If you want to be old, you can be old.
5
And if you fight a bit, you can carry on much longer.
6
Doesn't mean you don't sometimes have aches and pains, that's for sure.
7
Getting stiff or can't touch your toes as easily.
8
Can't put your socks on, that's the main thing, early in the morning.
9
But other than that...
10
it's all in the mind.
11
Oh, I've had enough of my own heart sores.
12
My one and only child, she died at 15 months.
13
And there was no chance of having another one.
14
I remember I asked, the day when it happened, I asked the minister, will I ever be able to laugh again?
15
And he said to me 'yes, you will laugh again'.
16
And you do. You get to a point where you realise she wouldn't have wanted you to sit in that horrible deep hole that you were sitting in.
17
The eina (pain) never really goes away.
18
But you can live fully, by looking life square in the face.
19
Look at it. Look at it and say yes, it does hurt.
20
It hurts tremendously.
21
But am I going to stay like this for another 50 years.
22
No. That's all you get from me.
23
You can feel sorry for yourself, to a point.
24
But work through it, pull up your shoulders, and go on.
25
Don't carry baggage with you.
26
Where do you want to take it?
27
It doesn't take you anywhere.
28
Get angry and get it over with.
29
Get angry, yah. Get angry and kick a door.
30
Or go and sit in a corner and cry it out.
31
Get angry. Everyone told you to behave. Why?
32
Why must I behave?
33
If I'm cross, I'm cross.
34
So get angry, but get it over with.
35
Getting it out, you get calmer, in your inner self.
36
Don't ask me how, I don't know. But it does.
37
There's no secret to life.
38
I just think, don't put life in a box.
39
It's your approach to life.
40
Do you see the beauty in it, or do you just exist?
41
Be careful to just exist.
42
That's dangerous.
43
It's not big things in life that make you happy.
44
It's to be able to see the beauty in the small things.
45
Or when you see a nice flower.
46
Have you ever smelled it? Have you ever smelled earth?
47
There are very few things that smell as nice as earth.
48
Go for life.
49
There is enough time where you're not there any more.
50
Go for it while you are there.
51

¿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.
