Eddie Gordon said you can do the easy things in life life is going to be hard I promise you
2
but if you go out there and do those hard things I'm talking studying
3
when your friends are partying preparing for an exam one month in advance
4
when your friends are leaving it to the night before?
5
If you go about it and do those hard things, those things that no one wants to do, then life will be easy.
6
It's a choice that you have to make.
7
You have to step up and walk that path, take that road, that lonely, dark, cold road.
8
That road that so many people don't want to take, that's when you're going to truly find yourself.
9
Why is it that you don't want to grow?
10
Why is it that you just settle for the grades that you're getting?
11
Why is it that you just shy away from challenging yourself
12
and taking life on like you've got another hundred lifetimes after this?
13
why is it because doing well at school at university it's hard it's hard getting good grades
14
but we are in charge of the life we live
15
and when you're in charge you say if it's hard then do it hard
16
don't allow this to stop you there is no easy mode
17
in this what is the easiest way to turn your grades around your attitude about it
18
that you decide that you are not working at your full potential
19
that you decide your grades do not represent what you can
20
achieve Charles Wendell said he said the longer I live the more I realize the impact attitude has on life.
21
Attitude to me is more important than facts.
22
It's more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do.
23
It's more important than appearances, giftedness, or skill.
24
And we have a choice.
25
every day, the attitude that we're going to come at life.
26
You cannot change what grades you got in the past.
27
You cannot change the exams that you failed.
28
You can't even change what you did yesterday.
29
But you can change how you will attack tomorrow.
30
those moments that you think you don't want to do something
31
when you want to procrastinate when you think I'll do it tomorrow that's exactly
32
when you have to go for it
33
when things get hard don't ever ask why me dig deep down
34
and say try me because I'm stronger than anything you can throw at me because I've been down that dark path,
35
I've been alone, and I rose up above it all.
36
If you fail, it's because you're reaching for something that is worth failing for.
37
If you fail, it's not over.
38
If you fail, fall on your back and look up.
39
If you can look up, you can get up.
40
And if you learn, then it's not a failure.
41
You don't lose if you learn.
42
Grab life by the horns and go for it.
43
Stop waiting.
44
Stop looking for other people's approval.
45
Take a chance.
46
Take a risk.
47
There's nothing worse than regret in thinking what could have been.
48
How bad do you want it?
49
Are you talking about it or are you studying for it?
50
Greatness is no joyride greatness is full of adversity
51
and obstacles how bad do you want it how dedicated are you to achieving extraordinary grades
52
when you get up in the morning don't look at your
53
emails don't look at your phone don't think about yesterday's problem and yesterday's struggles focus you gotta make a decision.
54
To stop making excuses and get it done.
55
There's nobody in this world that's going to get you what you want.

¿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.
