1
I think if you succeed every mistakes become a legendary
2
if you fail that's just a garbage you know I'm saying I think everybody has great stories
3
everybody had a lot of mistakes everybody have a lot of problems but But very few people listen to you.
4
One day when you become successful, people listen to you and say, wow, you're great.
5
I'm not that great.
6
I was born in a normal family and I'm not good at schooling.
7
Of course I tried to study hard, but as a boy, you know, my school was not that good at that time.
8
So I failed looking for jobs, looking for joining university, joining good schools.
9
But I never give up.
10
And I think there's one thing I learned, why you should have a chance to be successful.
11
Everybody should get used to fail but not get used to be accepted by other people.
12
Why other people should help you?
13
You should earn the right to be helped.
14
So the thing I learned is that don't give up.
15
My opportunity has not come yet.
16
When everybody complain that is the opportunity I always thought
17
when I was young when I was graduate in the high school
18
or university I thought Bill Gates took up my job you
19
know Bill Gates did all the successful things Larry Harrison from
20
Oracle they they took all the wonderful opportunities IBM benefit we people have no opportunity
21
and I think I aim too high I should aim to support
22
and help the people around me do tiny things I never thought I could be today
23
after 18 years Alibaba become today's size
24
not because I'm smart I don't think I'm a smart person But I work with a lot of smart people.
25
And most smart people, they always want to do successful things.
26
Quick, easy things.
27
And I think it's not easy to be successful quickly.
28
Every time, everything we do, we prepare for 10 years.
29
I know I'm not smart.
30
If we want to be successful, we have to win 10 years later.
31
If we want to be successful, we have to work with smart people.
32
If we want to be successful, we should make a lot of mistakes and never give up.
33
A lot of people, they make mistakes, they have problems, they give up.
34
We never give up.
35
We learn from mistakes.
36
And I think when we fail, the message, the experience that I want to give you, the advice I want to give you,
37
you will judge when this person will be successful or not by when he fail, he thinks it's his fault or the other fault.
38
If he thinks my fail because of the others, this guy has no chance.
39
Those people who fail always think, hmm, it is my fault.
40
I did not do it properly.
41
I should change here or change there.
42
These guys have opportunities.
43
So I learn a lot from those people who fail.
44
I learn a lot from those people who make mistakes.
45
I learn a lot from my mistakes.
46
So this is what I, when I, this is my life attitude.
47
When I fail, I say, see, I will fail.
48
When I succeed, I say, well, I never know, I could be successful.
49
This makes me very positive and optimistic.
50
And because of so many mistakes, too much failure that make me never complain because I get used to
51
that we are making mistakes every day even to today we
52
made stupid decisions almost every day nobody knows we thought it's smart
53
but finally proved stupid
54
but we learn we do again we learn we do again that's the way that's the life attitude 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.
