1
Me having traditional parents that want me to go into uni, what do you think I should do when that composition pops up?
2
At some point you're going to decide that you're going to be your own man.
3
It's either before college or after college.
4
But at some point you're going to have to make your own decisions.
5
If you are Mehdi's parents, hopefully I didn't say that incorrectly, you probably don't know who I am.
6
My name is Alex Ramozzi.
7
I have this portfolio that is $250 million a year.
8
I also had immigrant parents.
9
I understand the position that you're in, in, which is that you want to make sure that Mahdi is successful and you think, like my parents did, that making sure that he has a degree is a great downside protection.
10
It's like, okay, if he has a degree, let's be able to job.
11
I can promise you he's unemployable.
12
He will no longer be able to get a job.
13
He's had a taste of the freedom that comes from business and the stakes.
14
He will be more miserable if he graduates with a degree
15
and then gets a normal job than he is
16
if you just let him live on his own and actually pursue his own things.
17
He will also fail multiple times between now and the end.
18
And what I would encourage you to do is not say, I told you so, but be willing to just support the fact that he's going all in.
19
And I think you have something that's incredibly rare, which is you have an incredibly talented and motivated son.
20
And I think that getting in the way of that would be a great disservice.
21
And I'll be very clear, I absolutely appreciate your attention, which is that you want to serve and support him in the best way that you know possible.
22
It's just that the world has changed.
23
And I think that the advice and the counsel that you give as a parent has to change with it.
24
And I think you will best equip him by basically giving him the freedom without judgment to pursue his passions
25
because he knows how to make money.
26
He will not suffer.
27
He will not not be able to feed himself, which is the big fear.
28
There's plenty of ways to make money.
29
He already has enough skills in order to do that.
30
But the thing that he is more at risk of doing is settling for a goal
31
that is too small in order to appease you and then in so doing be miserable.
32
And I only know this because I did it.
33
Cool.
34
You can play this for them.
35
All right.
36
Thank you.
37
Appreciate you, brother.

¿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.
