1
So before moving on to my topic for today, I have two basic questions for all of you.
2
And I want you to raise your hands if you have done this in life.
3
My first question is that, how many of you have said sorry in life?
4
Please raise your hands.
5
Please clap for yourself.
6
Round of applause.
7
Please clap for yourself.
8
Excellent.
9
I told you to clap for yourself because it takes a very strong person to say sorry.
10
Now for my next question, I don't want you to raise your hands,
11
just think How many of you has forgiven a person even though that person hasn't asked you sorry?
12
Just think, just think Today before you leave Kodeshia Hall,
13
I am sure that I will create a spark within you Which will make you think that I will,
14
I will try to forgive Yes, my topic for today is forgiveness.
15
We all know that forgiveness is a 11 letter word.
16
Well, Elizabeth Marx, the great writer, said that forgiveness is just a 4 letter word.
17
She said forgiveness is just a 4 letter word.
18
L-O-V-E, love.
19
Thank you, thank you so much.
20
The very nature of we human beings is to get angry, we feel resentful when someone harms us, right?
21
Well, I would say that forgiveness is forgetting the past and starting on with a clean state.
22
Forgiveness is like taking out the knife out of your back
23
which someone has poked you with and not using that knife to harm anyone else, no matter how badly they have hurt you.
24
Today, I would like to emphasize on two aspects of forgiveness only two.
25
One, why can't some people forgive?
26
And two, the power of forgiveness.
27
So moving on to my first aspect, why can't some people forgive?
28
I feel that there are three main reasons why people can't forgive.
29
And my first reason is because we think we do not get an apology, right?
30
We say he didn't forgive me.
31
I mean, we say he didn't apologize.
32
She did not, she he did not apologize.
33
You know, I happened to read a small joke in WhatsApp and the joke was like this.
34
If a man says sorry when he knows that it is his mistake, yes I'm wrong, then he's wise, he's honest.
35
Well, if a man says he's sorry when he knows that he's right, the opposite person is wrong, then unfortunately he's a husband.
36
Okay.
37
So, you know, when I read this joke, what I felt was that we always expect people to come and ask sorry to us.
38
My dear friends, it is our memory, not theirs.
39
people have different versions forgiveness people have very different versions for forgiveness you know
40
if forgiveness was dependent on the apology of a particular person
41
then believe me by now the whole world would have been burnt down my second point is
42
that it is
43
because they lack the ingredient of forgiveness within them you know I read a story once
44
which had a yogi who saved a scorpion from a flooding river a scorpion
45
so the yogi sees the scorpion is about to die
46
and he goes on to save the scorpion as usual the
47
scorpion bites him the yogi goes on again the scorpion bites again
48
and this happens almost three times a passing by devotee looks at the yogi
49
and asks what are you doing why are you saving the
50
scorpion it is biting you just leave it off the yogi's
51
reply was very different you know what he said he said
52
when this little scorpion cannot let go his character of biting
53
me how can i let go my character of helping him
54
thank you the yogi was able to practice forgiveness in his life only
55
because he contained the ingredient of forgiveness within him and that my friends is love and compassion
56
We cannot love unless and until we forgive a person.
57
The third aspect why I feel that people cannot forgive is that we do not understand the difference between weakness and wickedness.
58
If a person hurts you, he or she might be weak, my friends, not wicked.
59
How many of you doesn't have weakness here?
60
We all have weakness.
61
We are not strong people.
62
We all are weakness.
63
We all are capable of hurting someone and I know that very clearly.
64
When we are so eager to receive forgiveness by someone, why are we not willing to give forgiveness to someone?
65
That is my question, my friends.
66
When I tell you to forgive, you must forgive, you must forgive, you might ask me, then what do we do to those people who hurted a woman?
67
What do we do to those people who harassed a girl?
68
What do we do to all those people who killed thousands of men?
69
Should I forgive them?
70
When we complain to the police, is that forgiveness?
71
No, that is not forgiveness.
72
We have a wrong, a misconception about forgiveness actually.
73
When you complain to the police, you are complaining about that person's particular act, not about that person.
74
When the police does something favorable to you, it is like applying medicine on your wound.
75
The wound won't disappear, my friends, unless and until you forgive, the wound is still there.
76
So moving on to my second aspect of today, that is the main heading, the power of forgiveness.
77
I believe there are three major powers you gain
78
when you forgive someone and the main power is that you lead a happy and healthy life.
79
Yes, it is about you.
80
When you forgive someone, you are healing yourself, your mind, your body and your soul.
81
The second power I feel you gain is that when you forgive someone, you are coming out of their control.
82
You stop being their victim.
83
And I can say this because I have an experience.
84
I was rejected from a school level quiz competition because I was in the topper of my class.
85
To everyone who was seated here, who has faced partiality.
86
I just have two choices for you.
87
This was the choices my mother gave me.
88
She told me, if you want to come out of the situation, you have two choices, Ashwini.
89
You have two choices.
90
One, either you stay, you continue to feel hurt, anger and feeling depressed or you come out of the situation,
91
stop being the victim of what they did.
92
And I came out of the situation.
93
I gained my confidence back and I want you to re-empower yourself.
94
My third power, what I think that you gain is that when you forgive someone,
95
you come out of the emotions of anger, depression and sadness.
96
Once when I visited an orphanage, I happened to see a boy.
97
His name was Ram.
98
He was 13 years old and he was autistic.
99
He couldn't see, he couldn't speak well.
100
I just understood four points, four to I gave up five points what he said and that changed my life.
101
When I spoke to him, he told me, my mother abandoned me.
102
I was thrown to the dustbin.
103
I did not know what mistake I did.
104
I really did not know.
105
But to come out of this situation, I forgave my mother and now I am happy.
106
When I heard his story, my dear friends, I feel that we all are physically not well because we have brains but we lack a heart.
107
Ram out there, who was an autistic patient, had brains and had hearts.
108
I can say that.
109
I can say that with full confidence.
110
There is a story about Sister Maria.
111
She was a nun from Kerala and she was stabbed 50 times.
112
She was stabbed 50 times by a villager because the villager mistook of what she did.
113
He did not understand that she came to do social service and he stabbed her.
114
He killed her.
115
When Sister Maria's mother came the next day to see her daughter, she saw her daughter lying there.
116
She saw that little girl she had cherished from her very small young age lying there speaking in silence with her.
117
She saw her daughter just lying there helpless Who was stabbed 51 times
118
and had various injuries all over her body You know what her mother did?
119
She forgave that person, that person who killed her daughter She said,
120
my son, I forgive you because I know you did it out of some intention and it is okay I,
121
Ashwini John, as a youngster, as a human being I just have a very small advice towards all of you.
122
I know we all have been hurt in life.
123
We all have grudges in life.
124
Okay.
125
Forgive them.
126
Just forgive them.
127
Not because they deserve your forgiveness.
128
Not because you asked for their forgiveness.
129
But you cannot move on without forgiving a person.
130
It shows your maturity level.
131
Your forgiveness speaks about you, not about them.
132
Forgiveness is your gift towards yourself, from yourself.
133
You just have to search within.
134
Thank you so much.

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.
