If every time someone asks you a question, you try to say the right answer, your entire life is a test.

And when did you have the most anxiety in grammar school and high school?

No question.

On test day.

So your entire life become this test.

I ain't trying to say the right answer.

I am just doing what I feel.

My mama said trying is failing.

There is no ifs, woulds, coulds, shoulds.

It just is.

And we just are.

I sparked that first dream up.

I gained two viewers, or was it one?

It was the one and two viewers.

I had that one viewer, and that viewer made me keep going.

And each day and each day and more, week two, I gained, I started averaging four viewers.

Week three, eight viewers.

Week four, 20 viewers.

So on and so on and so on.

So then my sophomore year, I just kind of, I kind of gave up on school.

Right.

I kind of gave up on school.

I kind of gave up on everything that I had to my old life and just put everything onto my stream.

I streamed every day.

I didn't care about nothing else but YouTube streaming.

I was 16 and college was coming up.

Like, I wanted to do so much.

I deleted my Instagram so I wouldn't see any skating.

No one ever brought it up, so I never even had the chance to think about it.

and so I call him Philip and I tell him like hey I think I want to go back to skating

what was the point where you started to feel that it wasn't right like one morning I woke up I had to go training this is when he'd stopped playing me and I was in a bad place and I remember just looking in the mirror I mean it sounds dramatic but I was literally staring in the mirror

And I was asking if I could retire now.

At 24, you know, doing the thing I love.

For me, that was heartbreaking.

To even have had that thought at 24 to want to retire, that hurt me a lot.

That was another thing that I had to carry I See it as this you need to squeeze Every ounce of potential God has given you to be the best you can be

Now a lot of people's go they go they work hard they squeeze it just like I am you know I'm saying the squeeze in the squeeze in the squeeze it and they get to right there right it's right there That's 50% that's 50% you squeeze your potential at the bottom

amazing you do better than you was 50% ago you're doing better you look you said I'm doing good it's not the other right but in your

mind in your heart you know there is so much more to get like so it double that you know

I'm saying double that I push 70% you see how it gets harder now with the bottle it gets harder just piece out the potential but you've gotten further than 50 now you got 70

listen to me let me land okay right here is where people start getting comfortable

and we get comfortable what happens it goes back out now doesn't go back out to fully but it

goes back out because you get comfortable get lazy right like I do I do that all the time you know saying I'm not talking about right now I'm talking about all the life we all do at some point right so you go to 70% and And you see how it starts getting harder to squeeze out the potential at your body?

It's like you're working harder, like it's getting harder, you're getting tired, all this stuff.

It's getting harder.

Because I don't want to do this and then be all comfortable and do this again.

I don't want to do this.

I want to squeeze.

100.

All of a sudden, you land at 100.

And when you land at 100, the bottle, all of a sudden, you get a new bottle.

and you get potential and you get better and better and better and better at it.

When it gets hard, it's gonna get hard.

It's definitely gonna get hard.

And it's gonna be a point where nothing's growing.

It might be a point where you have no viewers.

You know,

I started off with so when so when you get to that point that wall like that wall breaker it happens that everybody every creator out there who

wants to do this you know you just got to push through that try something new and keep going you know you got to find a new lane so I started off with zero heroes one viewer and but I kept going be yourself like don't try to become me try to become a better me you know Like,

don't try to chase on what I did.

Do something.

Like, become better than me.

Don't become like me.

Become better than me.

Hey, I started with nothing.

I started with a PlayStation 4.

And I'm pretty sure any kid out there has a PlayStation or any console in their room.

So I didn't have nothing.

So you can start off from anywhere.

Seriously.

Like, you don't need the best of the best of equipment.

I promise you.

I got 50 million subs now.

I'm knowing all over the world and I wouldn't if you actually it's five years ago even three years ago I'd be like hell no so but I Mean obviously I grow.

I'm like I'm still growing now, you know I'm only 20 now, so it's more that I even got to learn from what I know now But I would have never thought that I even got this far, you know, but

things happen it's something that you got to fall in love with and you got to put your all into it You got to be very determined because there's millions of other creators.

Yeah, they're trying to do the same thing so so if the thought of you doing it for 10 years before anyone potentially watching you which is a a real scenario

for a lot of people um you know makes you want to vomit and scares you away then it's probably not for you but if you hear that you go well i love doing it

and this is what i'm deeply passionate about and in my case when i was 11 i was like i'm gonna become a youtuber or i'm gonna die trying those are the only two outcomes

um you kind of need that level of stubbornness because to make content that people watch it has to be better than what's out there and it's gonna It's going to take you many years to develop those skills.

So you have people around you who push you, who make you better, who are also obsessed, and you're making content that you deeply enjoy making,

you're fine with doing for a very long time without anyone watching you at least have the guard rails to achieve success in my opinion my words to like a

young dude going through it gonna take his life and especially if you look up to me like listen to a couple of my songs you know i don't even act like sound like none of that i ain't no thought about killing myself like you know today is just today tomorrow is always ahead

So I just go for that.

My message to the youth is to be strong no matter what you're going through.

So if you need help, seek help.

Whether if you want professional help, seek help and surround yourself with people that'll help you, that'll listen to you, that's your best interest.

Whatever you want to do in life, find something that you don't mind doing for the rest of your life.

Find something that you like.

And even if it seems like it's impossible, it's very, very possible.

So don't get nervous.

If you have a big goal, just chip away at it until you get to where you need to be.

You know, when you a thinker, I'm the same way.

You look for answers that you know you can't, like you're not going to be able to get.

You know what I'm saying?

It kind of drives you crazy.

because you feel like you should have these answers, but you don't.

So you just try to think your way into a solution, but you can't find the answer.

So, like, I think that's what life is about.

100

Truly finding yourself and then closing your eyes and dying in your sleep.

101

Finding yourself and finding other things, but finding yourself is one of the things, though.

102

For sure.

103

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.
