1
I don't want to live in a hole anymore.
2
It makes me feel poor.
3
We are poor, but we're happy.
4
Come see, come saw.
5
Anyway, the views are better above ground.
6
Honey, I'm seven non-fox years old now.
7
My father died at seven and a half.
8
I don't want to live in a hole anymore.
9
And I'm going to do something about it.
10
You cannot change your life unless you change something.
11
If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got.
12
No matter what it is.
13
Many times you say to yourself, I gotta lose weight, I gotta lose weight, I'm too fat.
14
And then you know what?
15
During the day you eat, you eat at night, and the next day you get mad at yourself.
16
Well, what do you want?
17
What do you want?
18
You gotta change something.
19
Fear is never reaching your potential.
20
That's it that always falling short, always quitting before you're done, always procrastinating, always not doing the right thing,
21
and then one day you're an old man, and you look back and go, God, I could have been great.
22
I could have been great.
23
You must get up.
24
Your journey is not over.
25
I can't fight him.
26
He has all my weapons.
27
I have nothing.
28
When you began your journey, you were determined.
29
Nothing could stop you.
30
And now that you are so close, are you willing to give up so easily?
31
It was easier at the beginning.
32
Beginnings are often easier.
33
But think of all that you have accomplished along your journey.
34
I'm gonna have setbacks, I know.
35
But if I'm feeling bad, that doesn't mean I'm doing bad.
36
That doesn't mean I am bad.
37
That doesn't mean that I can't still take some action.
38
Because yeah, nothing changes and nothing changes, man.
39
I'm always waiting for everything to be perfect before I live my life.
40
As soon as these things line up, I'm gonna live my life.
41
I'm never gonna get to that where everything's okay, where everything looks a certain way.
42
And in the meantime, I'm burning the best time I do have available.
43
I'm burning that candle up.
44
I'm burning this candle down and I'm saying as soon as it gets bright enough or warm enough in here,
45
I'm gonna show up.
46
But the candle's getting smaller.
47
What's the point of fighting my way up the mountain when someone else is just going to come up the easy way?
48
There is always going to be someone who does things the easy way.
49
But that should not stop you from doing things the right way.
50
It is your journey, young warrior.
51
Only you decide when it ends.

¿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.
