There is a difference between passion and obsession.

When you're passionate, everybody cheers you on.

They're stoked for you.

Passion's good.
11
Like, the world's gonna be like, yay!
12
When you're obsessed, they're like,
13
why you gotta be so crazy?
14
Why can't you be satisfied?
15
Why do you always gotta get things so perfect?
16
Why do you spend so much time here?
17
When you're obsessed, people think you're nuts.
18
So it's different.
19
If no one thinks you're crazy,
20
you're not yet operating to the outer limits of your potential.
21
You're not there yet.
22
Because somebody in your life should say,
23
man, you really care about this in like a crazy way.
24
It's time to stay focused.
25
It's time to decide.
26
Clubs.
27
Partying trying to fit in and socialize,
28
rub elbows with everybody so people can stop calling you weird.
29
Why are you so anti-social?
30
Because I'm trying to get it.
31
Why are you staying on the basketball court so much?
32
Because I'm trying to get it.
33
Why are you not clubbing like every time I text you and invite you to go do something fun and cool,
34
you always studying?
35
Because I'm trying to get it.
36
The more weird you are is a reflection of how committed you are to focusing on your sh.
37
Molding and shaping and developing your ideas and your craft so that when it's time for you to make your rounds,
38
you gonna fly.
39
You still got work to do.
40
Stay on that basketball court.
41
Stay on that football field.
42
All the homies texting and calling and trying to make you feel bad about being so focused.
43
It's grind season, homie.
44
I'm obsessed with improvement.
45
Every day I'm getting better.
46
There are those of you with phones and every new phone that comes out, you get it.
47
Every upgrade, you get it.
48
Every piece of software, you get it.
49
You are upgrading your technology and you've not upgraded yourself.
50
So listen to me.
51
There are those of you saying,
52
I want to be a millionaire.
53
I want to be the best at this company, right?
54
But your value system says You believe in sleep more than you believe in grinding.
55
Your value system says you are a consumer and not a producer.
56
If you're gonna go to the next level,
57
your values are gonna have to change.
58
We do not retreat.
59
We do not give up.
60
We do not surrender.
61
And the reason why most of you are not successful is because every single time stuff's not going your way,
62
you give up, you quit,
63
you let go, and people feel weakness.
64
They feel it.
65
You can feel when somebody's not committed,
66
when they're not all in, when they're not dedicated.
67
And there's another level you get to when you go all in.
68
You have to eat the dream.
69
You have to sleep the dream.
70
You have to dream the dream.
71
You have to see it when nobody else sees it.
72
You have to believe it when you cannot see it.
73
You've got to be possessed with the dream.
74
And I dare you under every single circumstance,
75
keep looking at your dream,
76
keep focusing on your dream,
77
keep going after the dream because that's where true success is.
78
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.
