Creando lección...
1
If somebody want to walk  out of your life LET THEM GO and get up and go on with your life!! It's all  right - sit around be depressed for a minute. Cry about it - do whatever you have to but don't stay  there too long. Get up and go on with your life!
2
So you know what I - this is what I  learned in all these years.
3
If somebody want to walk  out of your life -LET THEM GO!!
4
Especially if you know you done everything you  can do... You can sit around and been the best man or the best woman you could be  and they still want to go... LET THEM GO!!
5
Whatever they running after... They'll see what they  had in a minute. But by the end it's going to be too late because you're sick and you go... Because  half these people you'd be sitting around crying about it... Worried about... Two - Three years from  now you ain't gonna even remember their last name! How many times you've seen folks somewhere  you'd be like "What the hell was I thinking?".
6
I don't think that I'd be like "What was wrong  with me! What was I going through? I must have been lonely as hell to hook up with you!". Let folks go  son!! Some people come in your life for a lifetime.
7
Some come for a season. You got to know which is  which and you can always mess up when you mix them!
8
Uh seasonal people up with lifetime expectations.  You can't - they got people that got married with people they was only supposed to be with  for a season. They only supposed to be there for a season and they wonder  why they're having so much hell in their life...
9
That was the person that was supposed to come  and teach you one thing you didn't know. It so you just fell in love and now you're wondering  why you ain't got no peace... Nowhere you go!
10
No - no listen! I put everybody come  in my life in the category of a tree.
11
Some people are like leaves on the tree.  Wind blow - they over here - they're unstable...
12
Blow the other way - they're over here... Ain't  no season change - they wither and die. They gone...!
13
It's all right... There's some people - most people  in the world are like that. They just there to take from the tree! They ain't getting there to  do nothing but take and give shade every night!
14
And then that's all they can do! But don't don't  get mad at people like that - that's who they are...
15
They'll never be nothing! That's what they put  on this earth to be but be! What they are a leaf.
16
Some people are like a branch on that tree.  You gotta be careful with them branches too!
17
Because they'll fool you... They'll get that - make  you think they're a good friend and they real strong but the minutes you step out there on  them they'll break and leave you high and dry!
18
But if you find you two or three people in your  life that's like the roots at the bottom of that tree... You are blessed! Because that's them -  the kind of people that ain't going nowhere!
19
They ain't worried about being seen - don't nobody  have to know that they know you... They ain't got to know what they're doing for you... But if them  roots weren't there - that tree couldn't live.
20
You understand and they ain't got a hole. A  tree can have a hundred million branches but only a few roots down at the bottom to make sure we  get everything I need! You guys I'm telling you something... When you get you some roots - hold  on to them! But the rest of them - LET IT GO!!
21
Just LET IT GO - let folks go! I'ma do - it's  not always that easy... Ain't nobody said it was gonna be easy but it'll get easy when you learn  how to love yourself. When you get to a point in your life... When you look at people and you go okay - wait a minute - you or me? You will make a decision because when you telling folks to do  something and I never thought nobody.
22
I've never in my life - nobody would  just say "Look don't bother me no more! Don't talk to me!". I've never done it! What I do is - I  tell say "Look this thing you doing right here - that's going to cause a problem! You need to  fix that because if we going to be friends - we're going to be cool... You got to fix that and if  you don't we're going gonna have an issue!". If you see somebody fix it... They even trying to fix it...  That's somebody that care! Keep them people around!
23
That's a leaf that's trying to grow up and be  something else - you understand! But if you tell somebody that what you doing is hurting me and  I need you to stop it and they keep doing it...
24
They don't care! Move on - LET THEM GO! No matter how  much it hurt... LET THEM GO and it'll get easier. I promise you - every day it'll get easier and easy  and easy... If you just got to make it through...
25
You hear me sonny and C.P. You got to learn how  to be by yourself son. People have to learn how to be alone. I don't understand, only people who "I need somebody Lord! Where's my man Lord? Where's my...?".
26
That is crazy as hell! If you don't know how to be  by yourself - What you gonna do with somebody else?
27
Stop praying about it! Shut up and wait! Go  work on you! Hell that's what that time is for to get yourself. Together I'd rather be in  a corner by myself with a puppy and a goldfish and be happy - then to be sitting around  with somebody in my house I'm wondering what the hell! Ain't there for you...?! You would be  surprised the things people put up with just to have somebody to say they love them. That's - I don't  understand! I can't live in dysfunction! I'm sorry - I'm sorry - I don't come through too much! Been  through too much hell and high water to come there and let you come up in my adult life and  when I'm supposed to be at peace and give me all kind of hair! Only two places on this earth you're  gonna have peace - the grave and in your house. now if you can't walk up in your house and you ain't got  no peace... Something wrong... Something wrong - I'm sorry!
28
People be rebuking Satan... I'd be rebuking Satan  and beating the hell out of everything that's up in there till they get out!! I'm sorry - you got  to go! This is mine! You hear me sonny? I do for sure! You better hear me for sure! If somebody  want to walk out of your life - LET THEM GO!!

¿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.
