Creando lección...
1
If the lion is the king of the jungle, how can he be the king of the jungle?
2
If he's not the biggest, the elephant is probably one of the biggest.
3
He can't be the fastest because that's a cheetah.
4
He can't be the smartest.
5
So he's not the biggest, the fastest or the smartest.
6
So how does a lion become the king of the jungle?
7
It's mentality.
8
That's the only difference of a lion and an elephant.
9
When a lion walks up and sees an elephant, he thinks lunch.
10
An elephant thinks run. And it's all mentality.
11
Because when a male lion walks up, he may be outnumbered by a pack of hyenas.
12
But I'm king of my jungle because of my mentality.
13
What happens when you're a gazelle and you're not being pushed?
14
You're not being proud of?
15
You're not giving a reward?
16
Nobody's encouraging you.
17
What happens when you're a gazelle and the lion's not chasing you anymore?
18
You stop running.
19
But what happens when you're a lion?
20
When you're a lion, it does not make a difference.
21
You realize that if your family is going to eat, that if that pack of lions is to survive, then you gotta go hunt.
22
A part of being a beast just ain't eating a gazelle, a part of being a beast is the hunts.
23
It's the hunt that they're excited about.
24
They like to see the gazelles run.
25
Then poof, they take off.
26
Because real lions like to hunt.
27
They love the process just as much as they love the prize.
28
And some of y'all just want to score.
29
You don't like the process.
30
You're not in love with the process.
31
A true hunter's goal is not the prize.
32
A true hunter's goal is to hunt.
33
That's what they live for.
34
They live to hunt.
35
They don't just live to catch it.
36
It's the whole process.
37
When you are a true hunter, you don't go by time.
38
You go by the gazelle.
39
When you are a true hunter, you hunt until you get a gazelle and you don't stop until you get one.
40
And then you get another, and then you get another, and you get another.
41
If you're gonna do what you say you're gonna do, be what you say you're gonna be, you're gonna have to lie in me out.
42
You a gazelle, you're gonna come up short.
43
You a gazelle, you're gonna have an average experience.
44
You a student, I need you in lying mode.
45
You an entrepreneur, I need you in lying mode.
46
You try to lose weight, lying mode.
47
You can't do nothing significant in gazelle mode, nothing.
48
Nothing impressive happens in gazelle mode.
49
Nothing happens in run mode, give up mode, quit mode, scared mode, fearful mode, nothing happens.
50
Everything happens in lying mode like I'm coming to get you.
51
Thank you.

¿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.
