Creazione lezione...
1
Do it no matter what people say.
2
Do it no matter who doesn't approve or tells you no. If you feel like you want to go towards it, you have to.
3
Because every big risk that I've taken in my life was disapproved.
4
But every big risk that I took got me to where I am now, which is a happier, more aligned place, and my dream life.
5
So if it's risky and you're afraid of what people will think or afraid of what your family will think,
6
or you're scared of the repercussions of moving in that direction, you know, you still got to do it.
7
You still got to do it.
8
You have to do it no matter what you say.
9
Because a lot of people have the mentality of that's not
10
realistic um there's money doesn't go on trees you have to
11
do it the traditional way like college nine to five um stable career don't do
12
that that's too risky there's no money in
13
that whatever it may be these things are what most people on earth think
14
and the few people that don't think these things
15
are the most successful because they're the ones stepping out of line to pursue things that they're passionate about.
16
And when people pursue things that they're passionate about, the universe rewards them.
17
Because a lot of people don't know that if you leap, the net will appear.
18
That if you take the chance, you're going to be caught and you're going to be safe.
19
and everything is actually going to work out.
20
You just have to take that risk.
21
You just have to go towards it.
22
But you never will if you let other people dictate what you do
23
or if you let even your own limiting thoughts or beliefs stop you.
24
You know, like if I can tell you anything,
25
I would say fuel yourself and fuel your confidence until you are confident enough to pursue it.
26
Because doing it when you're not mentally prepared is scary, but whenever you are mentally prepared,
27
it feels like a breeze and it feels like fun and it feels easy and it feels like divine timing.
28
It feels like, oh my god, I'm so lucky that this turned out this way.
29
If this didn't happen this exact way, I would have never gotten this.
30
I'm so happy everything happened the way it did,
31
and personally, I'm very glad that I didn't listen to my parents when it came to certain decisions and things.
32
There is a point in your life where you start taking charge.
33
You start living your life according to you, which is always what it should have been.
34
It's not up to society.
35
It's not up to the people older, older than you.
36
It's not the people close to you who have maybe smaller imaginations.
37
You know, it's not up to anybody.
38
It's only up to you.
39
Whatever you want to do in life you can do
40
and I feel like there's a there's like such a misconception
41
that you can't live life the way that you want
42
because there's so many external limitations it feels like but it's
43
because you're living within the parameters that are set for you by others by society or whatever.
44
But if you work within your parameters, which is this big, because you know what you want,
45
you have your imagination and it is large and your dreams are big and you know that you are capable.
46
Your imagination is like this and you're walking on a tightrope, but you can have the whole damn world.
47
You can, you just have to try it.
48
You just have to go for it.
49
You just have to do it no matter what other people think.
50
And you have to do it no matter what other people say to you.
51
Because there were several times that I was told no. I was told don't do
52
that or even I was threatened to be disowned if I did certain things.
53
And I didn't care.
54
That's how much I trusted and believed in my ability to do things
55
and that's how much I believed in the universe to catch me.
56
I was like
57
I'm gonna go for it because my life right now isn't what I want
58
So I might as well go after what I want and
59
if it means that this person won't approve for a little while I'll show them.
60
I'll show them how it's worth it
61
and Very soon after it was worth it
62
and this happened multiple times throughout the course of my life And every single time I reaped a large reward, huge reward.
63
So even if you are threatened into submitting and not doing what you want,
64
I'm here to tell you not to.
65
I'm here to tell you do it in secret if you have to, because not that I like want to, I'm like, be sneaky, lie a little.
66
No, that's not what I'm encouraging, but I'm saying be you, be authentic.
67
And what that entails is going after what you want.
68
Go after it.
69
I'm here.
70
I'm here to support you.
71
And I trust that your journey will unfold in the most beautiful way
72
and if you trust in
73
that as well come on it's gonna work out it always
74
will um I just I just had to talk about this
75
because a lot of people stop at no
76
or a lot of people are their own first no and you can't resist what you're being called to do you know
77
um and you can't also over plan things because that's whenever you just don't
78
execute for me
79
when it came to making youtube videos i planned for like a year i was like i know
80
that i want to speak about what i know and i know
81
that i want to um share like wisdom and this and
82
that and I talked about it I planned it in my journal
83
but and I also like got a microphone set up I wanted it to be like super professional
84
and but I added way too many steps I knew
85
that what I needed to do was just execute
86
and throw shit at the wall and see what sticks
87
and that's what you have to do you just have to
88
try it you just have to try it whatever it is that you want to do, just try it.
89
And you will lose nothing from it because I am very,
90
very glad that I did not live another day not doing exactly what I wanted to do.
91
And this is like, this is huge for me.
92
Just being able to make videos and people resonate with it is my dream
93
and has been my dream since I was a kid.
94
I mean, my dream used to be to help people.
95
Like that was my dream job.
96
And this is a form of that, hopefully.
97
But that's what I'm saying is like, don't be your first no.
98
And don't over plan to the point of not doing it
99
because then you're going to overwhelm yourself and try to make it as easy as possible.
100
And watch inspirational things.
101
Watch people be themselves and fuel your own confidence.
102
and you will start walking that path.
103
But bottom line, you've got to do it no matter what other people say.
104
And I'm here to tell you, you can.
105
I'm here to give you permission. Do it.
106
You can do it.
107
You can do it.
108
I don't care what other people say.
109
You can do it.
110
And it'll work out perfectly.
111
It'll work out better than you could have ever imagined.
112
That's actually a really good idea and people need what you are going to put out there in the world, even if it's just being yourself.
113
I give you permission to be yourself.
114
I give you permission to be authentic and I will love you unconditionally no matter what.
115
And I know it's hard to be yourself when we live in a society
116
but I'm here and I'm sure that there's a community here
117
that is growing and building and I hope
118
that we can all be there for each other
119
because um we need it more than ever we need it more than ever um
120
and yeah I just I just always want to encourage you
121
so that's my little tidbit for today do it I give you permission
122
and I love that you are opening up your heart
123
and opening up your imagination and believing in yourself more I love it I love it
124
and I'm obsessed with it and it makes me cry whenever I read that
125
read comments that any of this is helpful whatsoever.
126
So yeah, let me know what video I should do next.
127
I want to film every day pretty much.
128
So get ready for some activity, but I love you.
129
I love you endlessly.
130
I'll see you in the next one.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
