1
Don't ever let somebody tell you, you can't do something.

Not even me.

You got a dream, you got to protect it.
4
People can't do something themselves,
5
they want to tell you, you can't do it.
6
You want something, go get it.
7
Period.
8
Following your dreams is a lonely, solitary, scary, dangerous pursuit.
9
You can't wait for somebody to think you can do it.
10
It's a lonely, scary, dangerous pursuit
11
and you got to be willing to risk everything to become that seed of what you believe is in there.
12
You got to be fearless,
13
you got to be relentless.
14
Everybody has dreams.
15
and as much as you want to be able to listen a little bit
16
because somebody's going to give you a gem
17
but nobody knows but you you can't get advice on what you should do with your life right?
18
Nobody knows what you are
19
like even sometimes you don't really even know what you are you got to take your shot
20
And it's like as much as you want people to agree
21
and you want the people around you to be supporting your dreams and all,
22
it's not gonna be like that all the time.
23
You gotta do it alone.
24
Success is not a comfortable procedure.
25
It is a very uncomfortable thing to attempt.
26
So you gotta get comfortable being uncomfortable if you ever wanna be successful.
27
Start putting some pressure on.
28
Put some pressure on yourself.
29
Get out here and get about it.
30
Do what you feel passionate about.
31
Passionate about.
32
Take chances.
33
Don't be afraid to fail.
34
There's an old IQ test with 9 dots
35
and you had to draw 5 lines with a pencil within these 9 dots without lifting the pencil.
36
the only way to do it was to go outside the box.
37
So don't be afraid to go outside the box.
38
Don't be afraid to think outside the box.
39
Don't be afraid to fail big. To dream big.
40
But remember, dreams without goals are just dreams.
41
And they ultimately fuel disappointment.
42
So have dreams, but have goals.
43
You gotta dream about something so big that it dwarfs all your fears.
44
The way you overcome fear is with your dream.
45
You gotta make your dream so big that nothing matters except that dream.
46
You're willing to do everything that's necessary.
47
I was telling the kids, your education is important.
48
But your education is not the most important thing in your life.
49
I'm sorry it's not.
50
Your dream is the most important thing in this world.
51
A man without a dream or vision should perish.
52
If you talk to kids about their dreams,
53
your dreams can spur you to get the education.
54
But if you never find out what a child is dreaming about,
55
you can't hold their attention.
56
It's the dream, man.
57
Believe in yourself.
58
Don't fear failure.
59
Dream big, work hard, stay positive, enjoy the journey.
60
Dream big, dare to dream because everything is possible.
61
Don't let anybody take away the dream.
62
Doesn't matter.
63
Doesn't matter where you're coming from.
64
I actually think that the more disadvantaged childhood you have,
65
the more difficulties and more challenges you have, the stronger you become.
66
And don't really let anybody take away that dream from you.
67
Nurture it, water it like you water the flowers.
68
Even if you find only one person in this world that will accept,
69
embrace and support your dreams,
70
find that person and dream big because you can make 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.
