1
I want you to ponder these four questions.
2
Here's the first one, and that's why.
3
Why pay the price?
4
Why work this hard?
5
Why go this far?
6
Why try to learn this much?
7
Why try to do it all?
8
Why try to see it all?
9
Why try to have it all?
10
Why do it?
11
Why learn it?
12
Why study why put yourself out?
13
Why try to take on this much responsibility?
14
Why develop yourself to the full
15
Why try to become all that you can possibly become
16
Why try to earn as much as you can earn share as much as you can share
17
Develop every skill you possibly can see every human you possibly can
18
Go to every class you possibly can touch everybody you possibly can Why do that much?
19
Why go that far?
20
Why share that much?
21
Why give that much away?
22
Why try to see everything?
23
Why try to do everything?
24
Why try to become everything?
25
That's a good question why?
26
And you're the only one personally that can answer that question for yourself.
27
You've got to have your own list of whys.
28
Here's what I want you to do
29
when you go home after you've left left this extravaganza work
30
on your list of why's one of the big thrust for
31
success is to come up with a strong enough why in leadership training here's what we learn
32
if the why is powerful the how is easy but
33
if the why isn't strong if your goals aren't powerful if the The vision isn't clear.
34
The old prophet said, without a vision we die.
35
Without a vision we perish.
36
Without a dream we're nothing.
37
From the movie The Professionals.
38
I listened to Bill Heron give his testimony yesterday from the movie The Professional.
39
It said, we joined because we believed.
40
We stayed because we were committed.
41
We left because we were disillusioned.
42
But we came back because we were lost.
43
Without a dream, we are nothing.
44
I'm asking you to sit down with your family and develop a dream strategy.
45
I'm asking you to make a list of what you want,
46
what kind of health do you want,
47
what kind of skills do you want.
48
Herbalife has got the ability to make it all come true,
49
but you've got to decide what do you want.
50
What kind of income do you want?
51
What kind of gifts do you wish to bestow?
52
What kind of power would you like to have?
53
What kind of influence would you like to have?
54
I'm asking you to go home and work on the why.
55
Spend some time as you fly over the clouds and over the ocean back to where you came from.
56
I'm asking you to have a vision by the time you've reached home of why you want Herbalife to work for you,
57
why you want this kind of income,
58
why you want this kind of recognition and these kinds of skills.
59
I'm asking you to develop your own list of why
60
if you can come up with a strong enough list of why Herbalife can furnish the how.
61
Now, here's number two.
62
The first question to ponder when you go home is why?
63
Here's another good answer to why it's the second question.
64
Why not?
65
Why not see how much you can earn?
66
Why not see how much you can learn?
67
Why not see how many skills you can develop?
68
Why not see what kind of person you can become?
69
Why not see what kind of influence you can have?
70
Why not see how many people you can rescue from oblivion?
71
Why not see how many people you can reach?
72
I shared one of my goals with a group just last night.
73
Here it is, one of my goals,
74
to reach the peak of my skills by the year 2000
75
so I've got some work to do by the year 2000
76
turn of the century turn of the millennium I want to
77
reach the peak of my skills by the year 2000
78
and then come the next century I want to utilize those
79
skills in touching every human I can possibly touch for the rest of my life.
80
Those are some of my goals.
81
I want you to establish some of your goals.
82
I want you to give thoughtful consideration to your goals.
83
And why not?
84
If a farm boy can wander out of Idaho and finally arrive at this extravaganza,
85
why not you?
86
If Mark Hughes can walk away from the tough side of town
87
and find a few people and make a dream come true, why not you?
88
If we've got good health for many,
89
why Why not the rest?
90
If it's happened for you, why not others?
91
And why not you?
92
I want you to take that personal.
93
Why not?
94
Why not?
95
You've got to stay here till you go.
96
I mean, what else are you going to do?
97
Why not see how much you can do,
98
how far you can go?
99
Now here's number three.
100
Why not you?
101
I wish I could say that to each of you individually,
102
but it would take a couple of lifetimes to to sit down and talk with each of you individually.
103
But I would rather do that.
104
I'd rather sit down and talk with you
105
and your family with the fire burning in the living room than to be standing on this platform.
106
That's my true desire.
107
I'd love to talk to you and your children face to face.
108
That's what I'd really like to do.
109
I'd love to spend a couple of days with each of you personally and pour out my heart My soul,
110
what's going on in my head?
111
What's going on with me?
112
See if we couldn't connect and find something valuable.
113
But time doesn't permit for us to have those intimate conversations and get to know each other that well.
114
So I've got to do it from up here.
115
But I want you to take it personal.
116
And my personal question to you is why not you?
117
You've got the brains.
118
You can make decisions.
119
You can study the plan.
120
You can change your life.
121
You can grow immensely in the next few years.
122
You can make your dreams come true.
123
You can build a financial wall around your family.
124
Nothing can get through.
125
You can become healthy.
126
You can become powerful.
127
Why not you?
128
And I'm here to say that I'm ready to pledge my support to make your personal dreams come true.
129
I ask the question, why not you?
130
But I'm not going to ask it and just walk away.
131
I'm going to ask it and walk with you in this journey as we take Herbalife around the world.
132
And now here's my last question.
133
My very last question on the questions to ponder is why not now?
134
There never was a better time.
135
Mark has brought Herbalife to an incredible mountain top.
136
He's brought Herbalife with the help of others who have brought it here.
137
It has been brought to a special moment.
138
Barcelona was special and Orlando was outrageous.
139
But I'm telling you this extravaganza has been the most awesome thing I have ever seen.
140
All of your cooperation, the way you have learned and listened and worked hard to get it all.
141
I congratulate you for that.
142
But Mark brought us here.
143
And what a time now for us to take this dream and not let it die.
144
Take this dream and give it life.
145
Take this dream and breathe into it your own personal spirit
146
until finally it becomes a flame that burns around the whole world.
147
Let's go do it now!

¿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.
