Good morning, young minds.

You know, when I was young, I failed a lot.

I failed in school.

I failed to get a job at KFC.

I even failed to get into Harvard 10 times.

But here I am today.

Why?

Because every single day I thought about my life.

Let me ask you, do you think about your life every day?

Or do you just wake up, go to school, do homework, scroll on your phone, sleep and repeat?

if that's all you do then one day life will surprise you

but not in a good way if you want to be successful happy

and proud of yourself in the future you must start thinking about your growth every single day

if today you are the same person you were yesterday you are wasting time

growth is not just about passing exams

or getting good grades it is about learning something new every day the world is moving fast

and if you stand still you are actually moving backward think about this a tree never stops growing even

if the weather is bad even

if people cut its branches it still finds a way to grow you must be like

that tree learn something new challenge yourself

and never stop improving growth does not only come from books it comes from experiences mistakes

and trying new things

if you are afraid of trying new things

you are afraid of growth some of you want to start a business

but you are scared of failure some of you want to improve your skills

but you are too lazy to practice

if you think like this how will you grow every day

ask yourself what did I learn today how did I improve

if you have no answer then you wasted a day and

if you waste too many days you will waste your future many young people love excuses I I failed

because my teacher didn't like me.

I didn't do my homework because my pen broke.

I can't succeed because the government is bad.

Excuses, excuses, excuses.

Let me tell you a secret.

The world does not care about your excuses.

Life is tough.

Nobody is going to stop and say, oh no, poor you, let me fix everything for you.

No. If you fall, nobody is coming to pick you up.

Only you can do that.

If you want to be successful, stop blaming other people.

Take responsibility for your future.

Yes, sometimes life is unfair.

Sometimes you will face problems that are not your fault.

But you must learn how to adapt.

If life gives you bad cards, learn how to play them well.

Complaining will not change your situation, but action will.

The next time you feel like making an excuse, stop and think.

Is this excuse helping me or stopping me?

The moment you stop making excuses and start taking action, you will see your life change.

Most people are scared of failure.

But let me tell you something funny.

If you never fail, you will never succeed.

Failure is not the end.

It is part of the journey.

Every failure teaches you something.

Imagine you're learning how to ride a bicycle.

The first time, you fall.

The second time, you fall again.

the third time you still fall but by the fifth time you start to balance

and soon you are riding smoothly life is the same

you must fail forward the next time you fail at something don't feel sad smile

and say good I learned something because

if you keep learning you will eventually succeed many people dream of being rich

but let me tell you money is boring

if you are useless success is not about how much money you have it is about how valuable you are

if you want to be successful focus on being useful solve problems help people create something

that improves the world

when you are useful success will follow the more value

you bring to the world the more success you will achieve show me your friends

and i will show you your future

if you spend time with lazy people soon you will be lazy too

if you spend time with negative people you will start thinking negatively

but if you surround yourself with hard working smart

and positive people you will become like them find mentors find teachers find people who challenge you to be better

because in the end you become like the people

you spend the most time with choose wisely you can be the smartest person in the world but

if you don't know how to communicate your talent is useless

many young people think communication means talking no communication means making people understand you it means listening speaking clearly

and learning how to express yourself

if you want to be a leader a business person or even just a respected individual learn how to communicate read books, practice public speaking

Learn how to listen working hard is important, but if you work hard without thinking you will waste time for example

Imagine two people want to cut a tree the first person takes an axe and starts chopping immediately

The second person spends 30 minutes sharpening the axe then starts chopping

Who will finish first?

The second person because he worked smart and save time hard work alone is not enough

You must learn to think plan and strategize

Many young people don't think about money until it is too late.

They say, I will start saving when I have more money.

But by the time they realize it, they are already broke.

If you start saving even a small amount today, in 10 years, you will have something big.

Don't waste money on things you don't need.

Learn how to invest, understand how money works, and be smart with your finances.

The person who saves early will always have more opportunities in the future

Many young people think health is only for old people

But let me tell you something

If you don't take care of your body now

Your body will punish you in the future

Eat well, exercise, sleep enough

100

And don't put harmful things into your body A healthy body gives you the energy and confidence to achieve your dreams

101

What is the point of being rich if you are too sick to enjoy it?

102

Health is the real wealth

103

When I was young, I dreamed of creating a big company.

104

But do you know what people told me?

105

Jack, you are crazy.

106

You are just a poor English teacher.

107

If I had listened to them, I would be poor today.

108

But I didn't.

109

I believed in my dream, and I worked for it.

110

Your dream is yours.

111

Nobody else will understand it.

112

Some people will laugh at you.

113

Others will doubt you.

114

But you must keep going.

115

Because in the end, only those who believe in their dreams can turn them into reality.

116

Life is short, my friends.

117

One day you will look back and ask, did I really live or did I just exist?

118

The choices you make today will shape your future.

119

So think about your life every day.

120

Are you growing?

121

Are you learning?

122

Are you taking responsibility?

123

Are you useful?

124

Are you surrounding yourself with the right people?

125

Are you healthy?

126

Are you saving money?

127

Are you still dreaming?

128

If you start thinking about these things today, your future will be bright and remember never stop dreaming thank you life is short my friends

129

one day you will look back and ask yourself did i really live

130

or did i just exist this is a question

131

that only you can answer

132

and the answer depends on the choices you make today every great person

133

you admire whether it's a successful entrepreneur a scientist a great musician

134

or even an athlete did not wake up one morning and suddenly become great.

135

They thought about their life every day.

136

They planned, they struggled, they learned from their failures and they kept moving forward even when things got tough.

137

Are you growing?

138

Are you learning?

139

Are you taking responsibility?

140

Are you useful?

141

Are you surrounding yourself with the right people?

142

Are you taking care of your health?

143

Are you saving money?

144

Are you still dreaming?

145

These are questions you should ask yourself every single day because your future is being shaped by what you do today,

146

not by what you hope will happen in the future.

147

You don't have unlimited time.

148

Many young people think, I will work hard later.

149

I will think about my future later.

150

I still have time.

151

But let me tell you, time moves fast.

152

If you don't take action now, you will wake up one day at 30, 40, or 50 years old and wonder where all the time went.

153

The biggest mistake young people make is thinking they have forever.

154

But the truth is every day you waste is a day you will never get back

155

Successful people don't just think about their future once a year.

156

They think about it every single day a Lot of people have big dreams,

157

but they never start because they are waiting for the perfect time I

158

Will start when I have more money

159

I will start when I finish school

160

I will start when I feel ready

161

but let me tell you something the perfect moment will never come the best time to start is always

162

now you don't have to be perfect you don't have to know everything

163

and you don't have to have everything figured out

164

you just have to start the people who wait for the perfect time end up waiting their entire lives

165

and achieving nothing dreams are powerful but a dream without action is just a fantasy.

166

If you want your dreams to come true, you must wake up and work for them.

167

Every day, take a small step toward your goal.

168

Even if it is a tiny step, it is still progress.

169

There will be times when you feel like giving up there will be times when people laugh at you

170

There will be times when you doubt yourself, but those who succeed are the ones who keep pushing

171

Even when it feels impossible

172

Look at me when I started Alibaba.

173

I had no money no experience and no connections

174

People told me I was crazy, but I believed in my dream and I worked for it every single day

175

and And today that dream has become a reality

176

if you remember only one thing from this speech remember

177

this your life is your Responsibility nobody will live it for you nobody will fight for your dreams except you

178

if you fail don't blame others

179

If you succeed it's because you worked for it your teachers can guide you your parents can support you

180

But at the end of the day only you can build your future

181

so my friends I leave you with one final thought

182

Think about your life every day

183

Not once a year, not once a month

184

Every single day

185

Because if you take care of today

186

Your future will take care of itself

187

And remember, never stop dreaming 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.
