Number one, find out how things work.

17
There isn't anything an idea can't change.
18

19
At first I didn't have any money.
20
I said to Mr.
21
Sholf, I don't have any money.
22
He said that's not a problem.
23
Now see up until then I always thought it was.
24
Right?
25
I was confused.
26
He said no, no, the problem is lack of an idea on how to create money and wealth.
27
It isn't lack of money, it's lack of ideas.
28
So if you get the ideas, see, you can change anything.
29
Now to get ideas, you need a constant study of finding out.
30
If you wish to be successful, study success.

If you wish to be wealthy, study wealth.
33

39
Now, if you're curious, let me give you three ways to find out how to change anything, any life direction, any dimension.
40
Here's three ways to find out how to change anything.
41
Number one is to read.
42
All of the successful people I know and work with around the world, they're all good readers.
43
Curiosity drives them to read.
44
They gotta know.
45
They just read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read.
46
Become self-educated.
47
Standard education will get you standard results.
48
And you can check those numbers and see if that's what you want.
49
But if you want to go beyond that, you now have got to become self-educated.
50
One way to learn is from your own experiences.
51
But another way to learn is from other people's experiences.
52
See, one book might save you five years if you read it.
53
Did you know there's books on how to be stronger, more decisive?
54
Be a speaker, be a leader, have a better effect on other people, develop your personality.
55
Did you know there's books on that?
56
Did you know that hundreds of successful people have written their stories in books and they wrote down how they did it and people don't read it?
57
How would you explain that?
58
Now, you don't have to read half the night, but put this in your notes, 30 minutes a day.
59
30 minutes a day, read something positive, something challenging, something inspirational, something instructional, at least 30 minutes a day.
60
Become a good reader.
61
Now that's my opinion.
62
Listen to the other lecturers and listen to me and make up your own mind.
63
Don't be a follower, be a student.
64
Here's the second way to find out how to change your life.
65
And that's to listen.
66
Get around successful people and listen.
67
Now you can also learn from unsuccessful people.
68
Take notes on both, negative and positive.
69
Find out what poor people read and don't read it.
70
Right?
71
That's good information.
72
Learn from the negative.
73
But now you can also learn from the positive.
74
Get around successful people.
75
Listen to what they say.
76
Listen to how they say it.
77
It's important.
78
Now, here's some of the best advice I've got for the whole evening.
79
Poor people ought to take rich people out to dinner and listen.
80
That's some of the best I got.
81
But you're right.
82
Poor people don't usually take rich people out to dinner.
83
The guy said he's rich.
84
let him buy his own dinner.
85
I'm not coming up with any money.
86
You're lucky to get your own supper, let alone running around trying to find a rich man to feed.
87
And the guy's behind.
88
If a guy's not doing well, one of the first things he ought to do is find a guy that is doing well.
89
And offer to buy him his dinner.
90
Spend 50, 60, 80, 100 dollars.
91
Go for the full nine course.
92
If you get a successful person to eat and talk for two hours, they're liable to drop ideas in your lap, change your life.
93
Multiply your income by two, by three, by five.
94
But you're right.
95
Poor people don't usually take rich people out to dinner.
96
Now, here's the third way to find out how to change your life.
97
And that's to observe.
98
You can pick up a lot of ideas just by watching.
99
Get around successful people and watch.
100
Here's why.
101
Success leaves clues.
102
Watch how the man shakes hands.
103
Watch how the lady responds.
104
People who do well do certain things over and over and over and over.
105
And if you're clever, you can pick them up.
106
Watch it all.
107
If a guy's making $10,000 a month, I'd watch how he walks.
108
Maybe that's it.
109
Copy his funny little walk.
110
Somebody says, well, that's kind of a silly walk.
111
Say, it's $10,000.
112
I haven't got the money yet, but I got the walk.
113
It's bound to start somewhere.
114
What I ask you tonight is to be unusual and be a good observer of what's going on.
115
You can pick up ideas that can change your life starting tomorrow.
116
Just be a more careful observer.
117
Now, remember, there's two ways to see.
118
One is called sight.
119
See with your eyes.
120
The other one is called insight.
121
See with your mind.
122
See with your eyes, you'll see things.
123
See with your mind, you'll see answers.
124
Put your eyes and your mind to work.
125
And the best advice on developing sight and insight is pay attention.
126
Don't miss anything.
127
Wherever you are, be there.
128
Excellent.
129
Now, we've lingered a little bit long on number one here for personal development.
130
Find out how things work, but it's so very important finding out.
131
And I've given you three ways to find out.
132
Now, here's the second step to personal development.
133
Okay, number one was find out how things work.
134
Here's number two, go to work.
135
If there's one thing to get excited over, that's it.
136
Get excited over your ability to make yourself do the necessary things.
137
What could you make yourself do starting tomorrow that would change it all?
138
No, tell it.
139
Now, see, that's exciting.
140
On any given day, you can massively change the direction of your life.
141
Now, here's the key to discipline.
142
Start with the little disciplines.
143
Get excited over the little disciplines and get right on those because those will lead to the big ones.
144
You can't handle the big challenges in life unless you take on the little ones.
145
Make a list of all the things you can do.
146
Get right on those.
147
Discipline yourself for those, both for the results and for the muscle and for the practice.
148
So that when life hands you some big challenges, you'll be ready.
149
You'll have the muscle.
150
But see, if you don't handle the small ones, you can't take care of the big ones.
151
Here's what else it takes for life change.
152
Self-motivation.
153
Key phrase, self-motivation.
154
I don't know why we call it self-motivation.
155
It's really the only kind there is.
156
You got to motivate yourself.
157
And you don't want to give self-motivation away to somebody else and make it somebody else motivating you.
158
The guy says, boy, if somebody just come by and turn me on.
159
What if they don't show up?
160
See, you got to have a better plan for your life.
161
You must now take action on what you found out.
162
Don't let your learning lead to knowledge.
163
You'll become a fool.
164
Let your learning lead to action.
165
You can become wealthy.
166
And there's many kinds of wealth.
167
I understand that.
168
Not just money.
169
Money is one of the least of all values.
170
I know some people with a lot of money that are very poor.
171
Now here's the third step to personal development and we'll wrap up personal development.
172
Step number three, it's just a little caution and all through life we need little cautions.
173
This one simply says, don't try to beat the system.
174
Find out how it works, work it, but don't try to beat it.
175
Some people learn just enough to start slicing it, shading it, thinning it, cutting corners, and looking for cheap answers.
176
See, don't fall for that.
177
You'll wind up with a cheap life.
178
Find out how it works best and do it that way.
179
Even though it seems to take a little longer, do it right.
180
Don't compromise with right.
181
So if I had a word with you tonight, one-on-one, just you and me, I think my personal advice to you would be, this year, 1981, reach down inside of you and come up with some more of those remarkable human gifts.
182
they're there waiting to be utilized.
183
And then change anything for you you want to change.
184
And I challenge you to do that because you can change.
185
See, you don't ever have to be the same again after tonight, only by choice.
186
Starting tomorrow, what are you going to do that'll make a change in your life's direction?
187
Good question.
188
What are you going to do starting tomorrow that'll make a difference?
189
Now, see, if you don't do something starting tomorrow that'll make a difference, guess what?
190
It's gonna be the same.
191
And see, that way you can guess what the next five years are gonna be like.
192
Look at the last five.
193
Because the next five are gonna be like the last five unless you, major key, tomorrow change it all.
194
Or change a little, or change something, or don't change.
195
It's choice time.
196
You can do whatever you want.
197
But it's nice to know any day you wish you can change your whole life.

Perché praticare parlando con questo video?
Praticare l'inglese parlando è essenziale per migliorare la pronuncia inglese e aumentare la fiducia nel comunicare. Il video "If You Want to be Wealthy & Happy..." offre molte opportunità di parlare di argomenti significativi come la crescita personale e il successo. Interagire con i concetti presentati, come l'importanza delle idee e dello studio, non solo arricchisce il tuo lessico, ma stimola anche la tua capacità di esprimerti in modo chiaro e preciso. Attraverso il shadowspeak, gli studenti possono imitare la pronuncia e l’intonazione dell’oratore, assimilando così una forma autentica di linguaggio.
Grammatica ed espressioni nel contesto
Nel video, l’oratore utilizza diverse strutture grammaticali ed espressioni chiave che è utile esaminare:
- Imperativo per esprimere consigli: frasi come "Learn to work harder" indicano un consiglio diretto, utile per esprimere suggerimenti nella propria comunicazione.
- Frasi condizionali: frasi come "If you wish to be successful" dimostrano l'uso delle condizioni per parlare di situazioni ipotetiche e le loro conseguenze.
- Uso di verbi frasali: espressioni come "put the information in your journal" offrono un modo colloquiale per esprimere idea di memorizzare e rivedere le informazioni.
- Ripetizione per l’apprendimento: frasi come "repeat it, go over it" evidenziano un'importante tecnica di studio che può essere adottata anche in italiano.
Trappole di pronuncia comuni
Ci sono alcune parole e frasi nel video che possono risultare difficili da pronunciare per chi sta migliorando la propria pronuncia inglese. Ecco alcuni esempi:
- “Millionaire”: Attenzione alla pronuncia corretta della "m" iniziale e all'accento sulle sillabe.
- “Happiness”: La “h” iniziale e la “n” finale possono essere confuse; esercitati a pronunciarle chiaramente.
- “Ideas”: La “i” e la “d” devono essere pronunciate con attenzione per evitare confusione durante la conversazione.
Utilizzare tecniche come shadowspeaks e shadow speech può aiutarti a superare queste difficoltà, rendendo la tua esperienza di apprendimento più efficace e coinvolgente.
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.
