1
Let me just quickly give you a list of four emotions that can change your life in one day.
2
Emotions are powerful.
3
Sometimes it doesn't take much to alter your whole life direction.
4
Okay, here they are.
5
Number one, disgust.
6
Powerful emotion.
7
Disgust says I have had it.
8
See that could be the day, the day you can say I've had it.
9
And whether you've had it with something small or something major, the day you can say I've had it may not be the day it ends, but the day it begins.
10
That's what I said when that little girl scout left my door when I'm 25.
11
I give her the big lie, she leaves, I say, I don't want to live like this anymore.
12
I've had it with lying and being broke.
13
Powerful day.
14
The man's finally had it with mediocrity.
15
He's had it with being a loser.
16
He's finally had it with those awful sick feelings inside, knowing his wife is at the grocery store looking at two cans of beans, one mark 37 cents, one mark 39 cents,
17
and the guy's sick inside knows.
18
His wife's gonna buy the 37-cent can and she doesn't even like the brand
19
Do you know why she's gonna buy the 37-cent can? To save two
20
The guy sick inside finally says I've had it being on my knees and the dust looking for pennies
21
We're not living like this in Could be the day that turns your life around.
22
The day you can say, I've had it.
23
He walks into his closet and rips everything in it to shreds and says, I've worn this embarrassing stuff for the last time.
24
And not only will I never wear it again, no one else will ever wear it again.
25
Commit an act that says I've had it.
26
Powerful.
27
Here's the next one.
28
Decision. And decision-making is powerful. And it's emotional.
29
That's those knots in the pit of your stomach, right?
30
Waking up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, trying to decide.
31
We sometimes call it inner civil war.
32
What shall I do?
33
Well, for progress, you must decide.
34
The best advice I can give you came from a wealthy friend of mine who said, if it's easy, do it easy.
35
If it's hard, do it hard.
36
Just get it done.
37
If you went home tonight and in the next few days
38
cleaned up a whole list of decisions that might furnish enough inspiration for the next 10 years I
39
Found this out many times after you've decided getting on with
40
it is easier than deciding sometimes decision is the toughest part
41
Here's the next emotion desire wanting too bad enough and I don't know how to tell you to want to, that's something you've got to come up with.
42
There's two things I know about desire.
43
Number one, it comes from inside, not outside.
44
You don't send off for it.
45
Number two, I know desire can be triggered by something.
46
Who knows what it might be?
47
Sometimes desire waits and sleeps for something to happen.
48
Maybe it's a book, maybe it's a song, maybe it's a sermon, maybe it's a lecture,
49
a seminar, maybe it's the conversation of a friend, a happening, an event. Who knows?
50
The best advice I can give you is what I give my staff.
51
It goes like this.
52
Welcome every human experience.
53
You never know which one is going to turn it all on.
54
Even the bad experiences.
55
Sometimes from the bitterest experience comes the greatest awakening.
56
So let down the barriers, take down the walls.
57
The same wall that keeps out disappointment keeps out happiness.
58
Let life touch you.
59
Don't let it kill you, but let it touch you.
60
Here's the last one.
61
This one's powerful.
62
Resolve.
63
Resolve says, I will.
64
Two of the most powerful words in the language.
65
I will.
66
Benjamin Disraeli once said, nothing can resist a human will that will stake even its existence on the extent of its purpose.
67
Shortly put, I'll do it or die.
68
See, that's powerful.
69
That could be the day that turns your life around.
70
The world has a strange way of stepping aside when somebody says, I'll do it or die.
71
The man says, I will climb the mountain.
72
They've told me it's too high, it's too far, it's too rocky, it's too difficult.
73
It's never been done before, but it's my mountain, I will climb it.
74
Pretty soon you'll see me waving from the top.
75
Or dead on the side, because I ain't coming back.
76
The best definition I ever got from the word resolve came from a little junior high girl in Foster City, California, up north.
77
I'm talking to the junior high kids one day.
78
I love to ask kids definitions.
79
They come up with beauties.
80
I Got to the word resolve
81
and I asked who can tell me what resolve means
82
and I got several hands and they were all pretty good But the last one
83
Was the best little girl about three rows back Held up her hand.
84
She said mr. Rowan mr. Rowan.
85
I think I know what resolve me.
86
I Said darling.
87
What do you think it means?
88
She said I think it means Promising yourself you will never give up I I said that's it.
89
Webster, stand aside.
90
That is the definition.
91
Promise yourself you will never give up.
92
I asked the kids, how long should a baby try to learn how to walk?
93
How long?
94
How long would you give your average baby before you shut him off?
95
How long?
96
See, any mother in the world would say, you're crazy.
97
My baby's going to keep trying until it learns how to walk.
98
What a magic for me.
99
Now, let me show you what triggers all emotions into activity that brings results.
100
And results is the name of the game.
101
Here it is.
102
Action.
103
Finally, you must do something about how you feel.
104
Jesus, the master teacher said, don't just be listeners, be doers.
105
The world admires the doers.
106
Another Bible phrase says, faith without action is useless.
107
Some people these days are big on affirmations.
108
You've got to be very careful of affirmations.
109
there's a thin line between faith
110
and folly the best clue I can give you on affirmations
111
is this affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion
112
and there's nothing worse than delusion the guy keeps walking
113
west looking for the sunrise I mean delusion is bad however affirmation with discipline can and bring the most spectacular results.
114
When the Jewish people surveyed the Holocaust at the end of World War II, and for them it was a Holocaust.
115
39 million people lost their lives.
116
World War Two.
117
Nineteen million were Russian.
118
But compared to the population, it was not quite the Holocaust visited on the Jewish people.
119
Six and one half million Jews perished World War Two.
120
Six and one half million.
121
That was a Holocaust after Hitler's final solution and the Nazi Jack boots and Eichmann and Bormann had done their evil task.
122
Six and one half million.
123
When the Jewish people counted the dead, surveyed the Holocaust and mourned the loss,
124
those that survived together said, never again. That was the affirmation.
125
Never again.
126
Will we take our families silently walk to the boxcars and let them ship us through the night to Auschwitz?
127
Well, that's good to make an affirmation.
128
But the next question is, what are you going to do to back up the affirmation?
129
They said, well, number one, we'll build a nation.
130
Then they said, we'll build an army.
131
Wow.
132
And a Navy.
133
My.
134
And an Air Force.
135
And we'll buy some bombs.
136
My.
137
And some bullets.
138
Wow.
139
We'll spend a big portion of the national treasure.
140
We'll even spend some of Israel's finest lives.
141
We mean it.
142
Never again.
143
That's called backing up affirmation with discipline.
144
Does it work?
145
Well, yes.
146
They've been tested four times in war on their affirmation in the last 25 years.
147
Four times, major.
148
The next to the last war was called the six-day war.
149
As if to say, didn't we tell you ever?
150
Make sure you always have a game plan to match your wishes.
151
Otherwise, they will always be wishes.
152
The day that turns your life around.
153
Let me give you four questions to take home when we're finished.
154
These are called questions to ponder.
155
And this wraps it up.
156
Gosh, you've been a great audience tonight.
157
How fantastic for so many people here.
158
It's been unbelievable.
159
I've really enjoyed it.
160
I could talk all night.
161
I'm staying here, right?
162
So I got it made, right?
163
And you got some ways to go.
164
Okay.
165
Here's the questions I want you to take home in closing.
166
First question is one of the major questions of the world.
167
Why?
168
Why should you try?
169
Why read that many books?
170
Why go that far?
171
Why earn that much?
172
Why share that much?
173
Why learn all that?
174
Why get up that early?
175
Why put yourself through that much?
176
Why try for all that?
177
Good question.
178
Why?
179
One of the best answers to why is the second question.
180
Why not?
181
What else are you going to do with your life?
182
Why not see how many books you can read, how far you can go, how much you can earn, how many friends you can make, how much personality you can develop, influence you can have, how many things you can accomplish,
183
how far you can go and what you can see.
184
Why not?
185
You got to stay here till you go.
186
Why not?
187
The third question is why not you?
188
Why not you?
189
Some people have done the most incredible things with limited start.
190
Why not you?
191
Some people have done so well, they get to go, they get to see it all.
192
They get to do it.
193
They get to be there.
194
They get to have it.
195
They get to enjoy it.
196
Why not you?
197
Why not you watching the morning mist rise over the mountains of Scotland,
198
exploring the mysteries of Spain, soaking up history in London.
199
Why not you?
200
You got to take a stroll through the Palace of Versailles.
201
Why not you?
202
You got to have lunch in one of those neat little sidewalk cafes in Paris.
203
I mean, Denny's is okay.
204
You got to try Paris.
205
Someday you got to gaze directly at the Mona Lisa.
206

208
Why not you?
209
You got a shop on Fifth Avenue in New York.

221
There's nothing like a view from the top.
222

223
Don't postpone your better future any longer
224

225
With new vigor Get you some new books ask some new questions set some new goals get you a new journal
226
Start your projects book get a game plan going do some more reading, start to make changes, have conversations,
227

229
You'll make us a phone call, write us a letter, get in touch with us and let us know what's happening to you.
230
I want to thank you for being here.
231
My final comment would be ask for God's help, which may sound a little strange coming from a strictly commercial company.
232
We are not a religious order, but if you would allow me a personal word, that would be it.
233
I think humans are unique, but we could all use a little help.
234
But of course, you've got to do your part.
235
That's what we've talked about mainly tonight.
236
Do your part, and I think God will do his part.
237
It's a two-way street.
238
And we do play a part.
239
There's a story about the man who took a rock pile in two years, turned it into a fabulous garden.
240
People came from everywhere to see it.
241
One day, a guy came by, saw the garden, thought it was fabulous, but he wanted to make sure the gardener didn't take all the credit.
242
So to get his point across, he meets the gardener, shakes his hand and says, Mr. Gardner, remember you and the good Lord together have this beautiful garden here.
243
And the gardener said, hey, I understand that.
244
I know what you mean.
245
He said, if it wasn't for the sunshine and the rain
246
and the miracle of the seed and the soil and the seasons, there would be no garden for sure.
247
But he said, you know, you should have seen this place a couple of years ago when God had it all by himself.
248
And I think that's true.
249
We do play a part.
250
I'm glad I was not an angel.
251
I think humans have a lot more fun.
252
You've made it a splendid evening, and I want to wish you the very best.
253
Look forward to seeing you on the weekend.
254
Make sure we get the little white slip of paper.
255
And let's be in touch.
256
I wish you the best.
257
Good night.
258
God bless.
259
Thank you.
260
Thank you.
261
Appreciate it.
262
Thank you.

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.
