1
Let me speak to that person that feels like they lost their worth of their value.
2
This is a dollar bill.
3
Now if I go to the store and there's something for 90 cents,
4
can I buy it with this dollar bill?
5
Okay, alright.
6
So if I go to the store and there's something for 85 cents and after tax it ends up being 96 cents,
7
can I buy it with this dollar bill?
8
Okay, alright.
9
So what if I bought the dollar bill up?
10
Think about it now Like I just bought the dollar bill up like so we can't be worth a dollar now.
11
It's probably worth like 95 cents, right?
12
How much you think it's worth?
13
A dollar listen, listen y'all gotta pay attention.
14
I just bought it up.
15
So clearly it's not worth a dollar anymore All right,
16
all right, so maybe what if I step on it?
17
What if I stop it?
18
I just stopped it.
19
How much is it worth now?
20
Maybe 65 cents 68 cents?
21
It's still worth a dollar?
22
Okay, what if I ball it up,
23
what if I stomp on it,
24
and then I put it in the trash can?
25
And it's sitting here with some trash,
26
and it's around some beer and some gum and a bunch of other nasty stuff.
27
And some guy off the street pulls the dollar out, unfolds it.
28
How much is it worth now?
29
Maybe 82 cents?
30
Come on, at least 92 cents?
31
Okay, alright, so what if I ball it up,
32
what if I step on it,
33
what if I put it in trash, and then, watch this.
34
I tear it in half Think about it now, right?
35
Shhh, how much is it worth now?
36
A dollar?
37
I could tape it?
38
Whoa, whoa, whoa, shhh, wait,
39
wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
40
wait, wait, wait Wait a second,
41
wait a second I just,
42
I just balled it up I just stepped on it,
43
I put it in trash,
44
I pulled it out, then I tore it in half.
45
And you mean to tell me I can pick the dollar up,
46
I can wipe it off,
47
and I can put some tape around it,
48
and it's still worth a dollar?
49
Then why?
50
If this dollar doesn't lose its worth or its value,
51
then why do you feel like you've lost your worth of value?
52
Because many of you feel like you've been stepped on,
53
you feel like you've been pushed aside,
54
you feel like you've been abandoned,
55
you feel like you've been talked about,
56
you feel like you've been abused,
57
like someone took from you,
58
someone hurt you, somebody took advantage of you,
59
and deep down inside your core,
60
you feel like you've lost some of your value.
61
And I am here to tell you today that this dollar still has worth in value
62
Because there are some men years ago who put value over this life And said that no matter what happens to it,
63
it can still be taped back together It can still be wiped off
64
And I am here to tell you that you were created
65
and you're born and you're here And you have life
66
and you have purpose and you have value
67
And though you've gone through some hard times
68
And though you've experienced some depression And you might be wanting to hurt yourself and you might want to give up
69
I am here to tell you you still got worth
70
and value and there is nothing that can happen
71
that can take your worth and your value away
72
So what you got to do now is you got to pick yourself up
73
You got to dust yourself off and you got to keep moving
74
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.
