When you're laying there in your fucking bed, and you're in the fucking hospital, and you're 70, 80, 90 years old, you're thinking, man, I feel like I didn't fucking do something.

100
because you give up on the slightest struggle without discipline 100
101
told me discipline is doing what you hate to do
102
but do it like you love it doing what you hate to do but do it like
103
but if I'm feeling bad that doesn't mean I'm doing bad
104
that doesn't mean I am bad that doesn't mean
105
that I can't still take some action because yeah nothing changes and nothing changes man
106
it's time to get back to work stop hearing yourself talk
107
get off the podcast don't be on social media too much
108
cut out all the fucking noise get back to the fucking mental lab I'd say
109
thinking this will be the story that I will one day tell.
110
And that means the harder it is the bigger the dragon.
111
the more epic the story.
112
and By consequence, the more epic the hero.
113
The fear is never reaching your potential.
114
That's it.
115
That always falling short, always quitting before you're done, always procrastinating, always not doing the right thing.
116
And then one day you're an old man.

122
It's time to decide.
123
Fuck clubs.
124
Fuck partying.
125
Fuck trying to fit in and socialize.
126
you weird why are you so anti -social
127
because I'm trying to get it why are you staying on the basketball court
128
so much because I'm trying to get it why are you out there practicing in the hot sun
129
when ain't nobody else out there
130
because I'm trying to get it why are you not clubbing like every time I text you
131
and invite you to go do something fun and cool you always studying
132
because I'm trying to get it let me tell you something homie these women ain't going nowhere these these clubs,
133
these parties, all this shit ain't going nowhere.
134
The more weird you are, is a reflection of how committed you are to focusing on your shit,
135
molding and shaping and developing your ideas and your craft so that when it's time for you to make your rounds, you gonna fly.
136
was too different from the friends that I had, but not successful enough to be friends with the people that I wanted to be friends with.
137
That's when you want people to root for you.
138
That's when you want people to support you.
139
Once you've already won, people are like, "He's amazing.
140
He's so good." But like, that's the time when you need it the least.
141
And so, you always have to be the person who roots for you before everyone else does.
142
And it's usually a single clap in the auditorium for a very long period of time.
143
It is a slow clap.
144
That's just you rooting for you.
145
And that visual I think is one that you can kind of take because it is...
146
People struggle to do things alone.
147
And the path of the exceptional person is one of an exception, which means that you are not with other people.
148
And rather than fighting that or bemoaning it, you see it as an indicator that you're on the right path.
149
Because if everyone else were cheering you on, then it means you're not in the right place.
150
Because it means you're just like everyone else, and that's not where you want to be.
151
Life isn't fair at all. At all.
152
So what are you going to do about it?
153
I knew that no one was coming back to help me.
154
No one's gonna miracle me to be somebody special.
155
So, mentality is the only thing that gets us through life.
156
I was an underdog!
157
We are all underdogs in life.
158
Even the baddest person in the world should think that way.
159
So you should always have "I've never arrived" mentality.
160
And the can't hurt me mentality is no matter where you come from, the sewer, or wherever you think you're from.
161
When I got on the sewer, I got to the road and looked around and said, can't hurt me Nothing should be able to hurt you.
162
If you believe that it starts to become true.
163
Be the guy who embraces The ugly the miserable.
164
Be the guy who embraces hard work, the grind.
165
Don't be afraid of being hurt.
166
Don't be afraid of sacrificing some blood.
167
You know, there comes a day, man, everyone's gonna have this day.
168
There comes a day where being average, being mediocre, is just sickening to you.
169
It's just sickening.
170
It makes you want to throw up.
171
Because you've seen people with far less talent than you as
172
you're growing up with them their childhood buddies whatever else they
173
didn't have what you had Yet now they're fucking to become something
174
that you haven't there comes that day It's either when you're young, you know, and it strikes you on the baseball field
175
because you're sick of striking out or it's it's
176
when you get fired from your fifth job You know
177
when your wife and kids are on your ass because you don't know how to support them anymore.
178
There comes a fucking day where push comes to shove and shit just fucking burns and sucks so much.
179
You can't deal with it one more day
180
and you get off your fucking ass and you create something that's always been there.
181
It's always been inside of you trying to come out, but you've never wanted to unwrap it because it's too much fucking pain and commitment.
182
I'm a big fan of power follows the blame finger.
183
So like wherever you point the blame fingers where the power follows.
184
And so it's like if you point it, if you point it to the government, government has the power.
185
If you point it at your spouse and say like it's their fault that I'm not in shape, it's their fault, they never let me do anything, it's like well you're giving them all the power.
186
And so it's like until you're like it's my fault, it also becomes my responsibility.
187
What if it's not your fault?
188
What is?
189
What if it's not your fault?
190
It doesn't matter. And?
191
Hmm.
192
Like I can't run marathons because I lost my leg at birth.
193
And either you can just never try or you put the metal thing on, And you do it anyways.

¿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.
