Hello everyone!
2
Welcome to English Avenue, where English becomes exciting.
3
Today, you're not just watching a video,
4
you're stepping into a new reality.
5
If you listen carefully, this could be the moment that changes your life forever.
6
I'm here to tell you something that no one else will tell you,
7
something that could ignite a fire in your soul.
8
Let me ask you a question.
9
Are you happy with your life right now?
10
If you died tomorrow, would you be proud of what you've achieved?
11
If your answer is no,
12
then this is your wake-up call.
13
Because let me tell you,
14
your life isn't going to change by accident.
15
It's not going to improve by luck.
16
The life you want will only come when you decide to change it.
17
Stop living in excuses.
18
You've been making excuses for too long.
19
I'm too young.
20
I'm too old.
21
I don't have money.
22
I don't have time.
23
Let me tell you something.
24
Excuses are nothing but lies you tell yourself to avoid taking responsibility.
25
Do you know why most people fail?
26
It's not because they're unlucky.
27
It's not because they're not smart enough.
28
It's because they don't take action.
29
They sit around complaining about their problems instead of solving them.
30
Do you think successful people had it easy?
31
Let me give you an example.
32
Oprah Winfrey was born into poverty and faced unimaginable hardships.
33
She was told she wouldn't make it, but she didn't listen.
34
She worked hard, stayed focused,
35
and became one of the most influential people in the world.
36
Now, what's stopping you?
37
Nothing but your own mindset.
38
Imagine the life you could have close your eyes for a moment and imagine this.
39
You wake up in the morning in a beautiful home,
40
the home of your dreams.
41
You look outside, and there's a luxury car parked in your driveway.
42
Your parents are smiling because they know they don't have to worry about anything anymore.
43
You've taken care of them.
44
You've given them the life they deserve,
45
The life they dreamed of for you when they worked hard every single day to provide for you.
46
Now, open your eyes.
47
Does this feel impossible?
48
It's not.
49
This life is achievable, but it requires one thing, your commitment to change.
50
Your habits shape your future.
51
Let me be brutally honest with you.
52
Your habits are either making you or breaking you.
53
If you spend hours every day watching Netflix,
54
scrolling through Instagram or playing video games,
55
you are literally throwing your future away.
56
Time is the most valuable resource you have.
57
Every second you waste is a second you'll never get back.
58
Do you know what separates successful people from unsuccessful ones?
59
Successful people use their time wisely.
60
They read books, learn new skills,
61
and work on their dreams while everyone else is wasting time.
62
Think about your parents for a moment.
63
Your mother carried you in her womb for nine months.
64
She sacrificed her sleep, her health,
65
and her dreams to give you life.
66
Your father worked day and night to put food on the table,
67
to give you an education,
68
to make sure you had a chance to succeed.
69
And now, it's your turn.
70
What are you doing to give back to them?
71
Don't you want to see them happy?
72
Don't you want to give them the life they've always dreamed of?
73
Imagine the look on your mother's face when you hand her the keys to her dream house.
74
Imagine the tears in your father's eyes
75
when you tell him he doesn't have to work another day because you've got it covered.
76
This isn't just about money.
77
It's about giving them peace,
78
happiness, and the pride of knowing their child made it.
79
Success requires sacrifice.
80
Let me tell you something you don't want to hear.
81
Success isn't easy.
82
It requires sacrifice.
83
It means waking up early when you'd rather sleep in.
84
It means working on your goals when your friends are out partying.
85
It means saying no to distractions and yes to hard work.
86
There's a story about a young man who wanted to be successful.
87
He went to a wise mentor and asked,
88
how can I achieve success?
89
The mentor took him to the beach,
90
walked him into the water,
91
and held his head under the surface.
92
The man struggled to breathe and finally came up gasping for air.
93
The mentor said, When you want success as badly as you wanted to breathe,
94
then you'll be successful.
95
Ask yourself, How badly do you want it?
96
it.
97
Surround yourself with winners.
98
Look at the people around you.
99
Are they lifting you up or dragging you down?
100
If your friends are negative,
101
lazy, or unmotivated, guess what?
102
You'll become just like them.
103
Success isn't just about hard work.
104
It's about the environment you create for yourself.
105
Surround yourself with people who inspire you,
106
challenge you, and push you to be better.
107
And if that means cutting off toxic friends, so be it.
108
Your future is more important than their opinions.
109
Believe in yourself.
110
Here's the most important thing I'll tell you today.
111
You have to believe in yourself.
112
Nobody else is going to do it for you.
113
The world is full of doubters, haters, and critics.
114
They'll tell you you're not good enough,
115
not smart enough, Not capable enough.
116
Prove them wrong.
117
Believe in your potential.
118
Believe that you can achieve anything you set your mind to.
119
Because the truth is, you can.
120
Let me tell you something about failure.
121
It's not the end.
122
It's the beginning.
123
Every successful person you admire has failed more times than you can imagine.
124
Michael Jordan, one of the greatest basketball players of all time,
125
was cut from his high school basketball team.
126
Did he give up?
127
No. He worked harder.
128
He practiced longer.
129
And he became a legend.
130
Failure is a lesson.
131
It's a stepping stone.
132
Embrace it.
133
Learn from it.
134
And keep moving forward.
135
Take time for yourself.
136
The world is loud.
137
Social media, deadlines, responsibilities.
138
They all scream for your attention.
139
But when was the last time you sat in silence and asked yourself,
140
What do I really want?
141
Take time for yourself.
142
Spend a few minutes every day in complete silence.
143
Meditate, reflect, or simply breathe.
144
This is not a waste of time.
145
This is how you recharge your mind.
146
Because if you don't prioritize yourself, who will?
147
And during this time, talk to yourself.
148
Yes, you heard me.
149
Talk to yourself.
150
Tell yourself, I am amazing.
151
I am worth it.
152
I am capable of achieving great things.
153
Reprogram your mind.
154
Your mind is like a garden.
155
Whatever you plant in it grows.
156
If you plant doubt, negativity,
157
and fear, your life will reflect that.
158
But if you plant confidence,
159
positivity, and belief, you'll grow a life full of possibilities.
160
Say it with me.
161
I am the best.
162
I am unstoppable.
163
I can achieve anything I want in life.
164
Write these affirmations down and repeat them every single day.
165
It might feel silly at first,
166
but trust me, your mind believes what you tell it.
167
So stop feeding it with I can't and start feeding it with I can.
168
Visualize your dream life.
169
Close your eyes and imagine your dream life in detail.
170
Picture yourself in your dream job,
171
earning the money you've always wanted.
172
See yourself walking into your own house,
173
built with your hard work.
174
Feel the happiness of marrying the person you love and traveling the world together.
175
Now, open your eyes and realize this.
176
Every great achievement begins in the mind.
177
If you can visualize it, you can achieve it.
178
But visualization alone isn't enough.
179
You have to take action.
180
Control your mind, control your life.
181
Your mind is a powerful tool,
182
but if you don't control it, it will control you.
183
Think about it.
184
How often do negative thoughts take over your day?
185
Thoughts like, I'm not good enough.
186
I'll never succeed.
187
What if I fail?
188
The next time these thoughts come up,
189
stop and say, no, I'm in control.
190
I decide what I think and I choose positivity.
191
Your mind is like a muscle.
192
The more you train it to focus on positivity and solutions,
193
the stronger it gets.
194
Let me tell you something you need to hear right now.
195
You are amazing.
196
You have everything you need to succeed within you.
197
The only thing missing is your belief in yourself.
198
Do you want a good job?
199
Yes, you can get it.
200
Do you want to marry the love of your life?
201
Yes, you can.
202
Do you want to build a house,
203
travel the world, and live your dreams?
204
Yes, you can do all of that.
205
The only person stopping you is you.
206
So get out of your own way.
207
Start believing that you deserve success,
208
happiness, and everything you've ever dreamed of.
209
Start small.
210
Dream.
211
Big, big dreams can feel overwhelming.
212
But let me tell you a secret.
213
Success doesn't come all at once.
214
It comes one small step at a time.
215
Want to get fit?
216
Start with 10 minutes of exercise a day.
217
Want to improve your English?
218
Learn five new words a day.
219
Want to save money?
220
Start with $10 a week.
221
These small actions might not seem like much,
222
but they add up over time.
223
Remember, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
224
Be your own cheerleader.
225
Stop waiting for others to motivate you.
226
Stop expecting people to believe in you more than you believe in yourself.
227
Stand in front of a mirror and say,
228
I am proud of myself.
229
I am working hard and I am getting better every day.
230
I can do this.
231
You don't need anyone's approval to chase your dreams.
232
Be your own biggest supporter.
233
Find people who inspire you.
234
Listen to motivational speakers, read inspiring books,
235
and follow people who have achieved the things you want to achieve.
236
The more you surround yourself with positivity, the more you'll grow.
237
Think about Thomas Edison.
238
He failed over 1,000 times before inventing the light bulb.
239
When asked about it, he said,
240
I didn't fail 1,000 times.
241
The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps.
242
Ask yourself every night, What did I do today to get closer to my goals?
243
What can I do better tomorrow?
244
And then, follow through.
245
Because consistency is the key to success.
246
In the middle of chasing your dreams,
247
don't forget to be grateful for what you already have.
248
Gratitude changes your mindset.
249
It reminds you of how far you've come and gives you the strength to keep going.
250
Every morning, write down three things you're grateful for.
251
It could be your family,
252
your health, or simply the fact that you're alive and have another chance to chase your dreams.
253
All right, let's go all in.
254
This is it, the final piece.
255
If you've made it this far,
256
I know you're serious about elevating your life.
257
This is the moment where everything changes.
258
Listen carefully because the words I'm about to share with you are meant to wake you up,
259
shake you, and set you on fire with a new purpose.
260
Stop settling for average.
261
Why do we accept average?
262
Average life?
263
Average effort?
264
Average results?
265
Let me ask you, are you here to live an ordinary life,
266
or are you here to create something extraordinary?
267
Think about this.
268
Every single day, you have the choice to settle for less or to demand more of yourself.
269
Don't just get by.
270
Aim to excel.
271
Stop saying, this is good enough.
272
Say, this is just the beginning.
273
There's nothing wrong with dreaming big.
274
You want the best car,
275
the best house, the best relationships?
276
Go after it.
277
People may laugh at your ambitions,
278
but remember, those who laugh now will applaud later.
279
If you want something great,
280
you have to give something up.
281
Let's be honest.
282
How many hours do you waste gossiping with people who don't add value to your life?
283
Cut it out.
284
Replace it with things that elevate you.
285
Read books that expand your mind.
286
Work on your skills until you're the best.
287
Spend time learning, growing, and evolving.
288
Your life is a reflection of the decisions you make every day.
289
From the moment you wake up,
290
you are choosing who you want to become.
291
Are you making decisions that bring you closer to your dreams,
292
or are you sabotaging yourself?
293
Make a promise to yourself today.
294
Choose growth over comfort.
295
Choose discipline over laziness.
296
Choose courage over fear.
297
You think you're giving your best?
298
Think again.
299
You're capable of so much more.
300
Every time you feel like giving up, push a little harder.
301
When you think, I can't,
302
force yourself to say, yes, I can.
303
Here's the truth.
304
Growth happens outside your comfort zone.
305
If it doesn't scare you, it's not big enough.
306
Take risks, try new things,
307
dare to fail spectacularly, because even in failure,
308
you're ahead of everyone who never tried.
309
And remember, If you're the smartest or most motivated person in your group,
310
you're in the wrong group.
311
Seek out people who inspire you,
312
challenge you, and make you uncomfortable with staying the same.
313
The clock is ticking.
314
Let's get real.
315
You don't have forever.
316
Stop living like you have unlimited time.
317
Every second you waste is gone forever.
318
Imagine you're on your deathbed.
319
Will you look back and regret the chances you didn't take.
320
Start living like your time matters.
321
Because it does.
322
You're not too young, and you're not too old.
323
Stop waiting for the perfect time, because it doesn't exist.
324
The perfect time is now.
325
You see successful people and think, they're lucky.
326
No, they're not.
327
They worked for it.
328
They sacrificed for it.
329
And you can too.
330
Start asking yourself, why not me?
331
Why can't you be the next great entrepreneur?
332
Why can't you have the life of your dreams?
333
Why can't you inspire millions?
334
Stop doubting yourself.
335
If others can do it, so can you.
336
Here's something most people don't realize.
337
You are not defined by your past.
338
It doesn't matter where you come from,
339
how much money you have,
340
or what mistakes you've made.
341
Your potential is limitless.
342
Every day is a new opportunity to reinvent yourself.
343
You don't have to be the person you were yesterday.
344
You can be stronger, smarter, and better.
345
All it takes is the decision to grow.
346
Stop blaming others for your problems.
347
Your boss, your parents, your circumstances.
348
They don't control your destiny.
349
You do.
350
Take full responsibility for where you are right now and take ownership of where you're going.
351
No excuses.
352
No complaining.
353
Just action.
354
Let your success speak for itself.
355
While others are busy talking, you're busy working.
356
Keep your head down, stay focused,
357
and don't worry about proving anything to anyone.
358
The results will do the talking.
359
Remember, the lion doesn't turn around when the small dogs bark.
360
Every small victory matters.
361
Did you wake up early?
362
Celebrate it.
363
Did you complete a task on your to-do list?
364
Celebrate it.
365
Success is built on small wins that add up over time.
366
Every step forward is progress.
367
Acknowledge it and keep going.
368
Here's a final challenge.
369
Make this personal.
370
Don't just listen to these words and move on.
371
Write down what you're going to do differently starting today.
372
What habits will you change?
373
What goals will you set?
374
You have one life, one shot.
375
Don't waste it.
376
Dream big, work hard, and never settle for anything less than extraordinary.
377
The world is waiting for you to rise,
378
to shine, and to inspire others with your story.
379
The life you want is waiting for you.
380
But you have to take the first step.
381
Stop making excuses.
382
Stop waiting for the perfect moment.
383
Start today.
384
Work hard, stay focused, and never give up.
385
The journey won't be easy,
386
but it will be worth it.
387
Believe in yourself.
388
I believe in you.
389
Now go out there and make it happen.
390
You are unstoppable.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
