Creazione lezione...
1
But I went from having confidence and arrogance to having faith.
2
And faith is the opposite of fear.
3
And that created this fearless approach that I have.
4
I think very three-dimensionally.
5
I don't think in the black and white lines that I've been programmed to think in.
6
And I think in full color.
7
So when I talk, I have to describe a thought in five ways.
8
You know, we enjoy food that has multiple seasoning in it.
9
We enjoy music that has multiple instruments.
10
So when I talk, it's not a rant.
11
It's a symphony of ideas.
12
And when you collect them,
13
you say, oh, these are all these things that connect.
14
Yeah, you know, I just tell the truth.
15
And telling the truth is crazy in a world full of lies.
16
That's simply it.
17
So now let's take like where there's,
18
you know, people who have,
19
you know, issues with me as Kanye West are saying.
20
They classify, you know, my motivational speeches as like rants and things like this.
21
Like, why is he saying that?
22
Why is he doing that?
23
Blah, blah, blah.
24
Well, I've reached a point in my life where my Truman Show boat has hit the painting.
25
And I've got to a point that Michael Jackson did not break down.
26
I have reached the glass ceiling as a creative person, as a celebrity.
27
When I say that, it means I want to do product.
28
I am a product person.
29
Not just clothing, but water bottle design,
30
architecture, everything you know, that you could think about.
31
And I've been at it for 10 years and I look around and I say,
32
wait a second, there's no one around here in this space that looks like me.
33
And if they are, they're quiet as f- So that means,
34
wait a second, now we're seriously like in a civil rights movement.
35
Like people used to joke about,
36
do you remember our South Park photo?
37
Yeah, I do.
38
Remember how funny that was?
39
Do you think there would be a Givenchy in the hood if it wasn't for that South Park photo?
40
Yeah.
41
So many people are just so obvious.
42
They don't even realize that when they box me in
43
or try to verbally put me in some type of box or put Donda in a box,
44
that they're really showing their level of ignorance.
45
They're putting themselves in a box.
46
And you know, people can write,
47
write, write all they want,
48
but what are people doing?
49
And if there's anybody that's out there doing,
50
they know how hard it is to actually do.
51
And I'm like a motivation of the doers.
52
If everything I did failed,
53
which it doesn't, it actually succeeds,
54
but if everything I did failed,
55
just the fact that I'm willing to fail is an inspiration.
56
People are so scared to lose that they don't even try.
57
Like one thing that people can't say is they can't say I'm not trying.
58
I'm not trying my hardest and I'm not trying to do it the best way
59
that I know how with what little information I get.
60
So when I compare myself to Steve Jobs or Walt Disney,
61
Howard Hughes, David Stern, Michelangelo,
62
Da Vinci, Jesus or whatever,
63
I'm saying these are my heroes.
64
These are people that I look up to.
65
This is the type of impact I want to make on the earth.
66
If I can make this type of impact up to this point,
67
what can I do if you call Bob Iger and say,
68
yo, give him a shot.
69
If you call Oprah and say, yo, back this kid.
70
His parents were educators.
71
He wants to educate he wants to look at curriculums
72
and say how do we simplify that exactly what I did in music?
73
I want to apply to product.
74
I want to apply to education This is what my company Donned is about I could rap all I want
75
But without that Rockefeller chain and Damon giving me
76
that Rockefeller chain around getting a record deal I don't care
77
how many beats I sold to whoever I couldn't have made it to the point to make Jesus walks
78
and now even as a celebrity bubble bop I've reached the ceiling
79
and the way proper Ropsy talked to me and my family is disrespectful also.
80
You know I'm saying we bring something of joy to the world.
81
When people hear my music they have a good time
82
and I should be respected as such when I walk down the street.
83
Don't ask me a question about something you saw in the tabloids.
84
Don't try to antagonize me because you know what it's not safe for you in this zoo.
85
You know never think that I'm not from Chicago for one second.
86
So as I go through these different levels there's times where I would use confidence
87
when I knew what I was doing and I would use arrogance
88
when I didn't know what I was doing
89
but I'd rather use arrogance than to let someone diminish my idea of myself because that is what keeps us going.
90
Hope actually keeps us alive but I went from having confidence
91
and arrogance to having faith and faith is the opposite of fear
92
and that created this fearless approach that I have and
93
And that's what now has made me the fearless leader that I am,
94
that I've like crystallized into the leader that my mom always knew I would be when kids followed me in preschool,
95
the leader that people saw when we changed the sound of music,
96
the leader when we changed the sneaker industry,
97
the leader in what we're doing with farming and with shelters.
98
You have to move based on opportunity.
99
If you have an opportunity to make a living at exactly what you dream about,
100
you have to pursue that at that time when it's there.
101
If the opportunity isn't there,
102
just keep educating yourself as much as possible so that
103
when the time comes you'll be even better at that dream
104
that you had what i keep saying is i don't want to totally touch on this too long
105
because i might like start you know crying but i would think
106
that my mom would trade in every single grammy bet every award for her son to have a doctorate being
107
that she was dr west are you a workaholic are you always working No,
108
I actually slept a lot during the project. While they were recording?
109
Yeah, we have a team and we work together.
110
I spent a year and a half after I got out of the hospital,
111
and I would go to Amoeba record store and I just start chopping up samples.
112
It was very therapeutic because I wasn't full yay.
113
I don't know if I'm full yay now,
114
better or worse, whatever, but it was therapeutic just to listen to those songs
115
and sample and go back to being 14 years old in my mom's house.
116
And by the time it was time to do the,
117
uh, to put the albums out,
118
we have a whole team at Yeezy Sound that will help come and do the drums,
119
help with lyrics, help with choruses.
120
And I'd give, like, six,
121
seven people ideas that I want on the song,
122
and I'd just go to sleep.
123
What we want is a real shot.
124
Not, okay, I'm a celebrity,
125
so that means my line has to cost $10 a t-shirt.
126
No, I understand about quality.
127
I understand about fabrics.
128
I spent 10,000 hours at this.
129
I dedicated my life to this.
130
Then a lot of people say,
131
okay, well, you know, you have to do music.
132
I'm going to keep doing music,
133
but what if people told me I couldn't rap?
134
What would have happened?
135
What if people told me I couldn't perform?
136
You know, I'm only 36 years old.
137
I have other goals and other things,
138
and I'm going to use my platform,
139
every platform to stand up and say,
140
I want to make something,
141
I want to make the next Ralph Lauren.
142
They say people don't stand up and protect their dreams.
143
People are too scared of getting,
144
you know, spoofed in a way.
145
And the irony of it is so many people that are creatives,
146
think about a creative person in school.
147
When you picture them, you're probably picturing them all the way in the back of class sketching or maybe getting beat up.
148
And I'm the one creative.
149
And this is the reason why I went on stage.
150
This is the reason why I did this.
151
Because creatives have got beat up my entire life.
152
And there's moments where I stood up to drug dealers in Chicago and said,
153
you can't have my publishing.
154
Come and kill me.
155
Do whatever you're going to do.
156
But you're not going to bully me.
157
You're not going to stop me because my mother made me believe in myself.
158
No matter how many people tell me, stop believing in yourself.
159
Stop saying what you can do stop affirming what you're gonna do
160
and then and then completing
161
that in real life That's the improper way to do it I refuse to follow those rules
162
that society is set up in the way that they control people with low self-esteem With improper information with branding with marketing.
163
I refuse to follow those rules.
164
It's about truth It's about information It's about awesomeness
165
and the only luxury is time the time you spend with your family That's the only luxury.
166
So this concept of luxury.
167
And I remember the last thing she said,
168
she said, you know what the problem is that all these students,
169
as soon as they did anything,
170
from when they were really little, their parents clapped.
171
And the point she wanted to make to me,
172
that she said to me as we were leaving out the hallway of the restaurant,
173
the last time I saw her was, don't clap.
174
You have to push them.
175
You have to drive them.
176
I remember the first time when Norv climbed all the way to the top of the stairs.
177
And I'm trying to say that Kim would have grabbed her by third stair.
178
But she felt like she had to impress me and be more dynamic or hit the highest point that she had ever,
179
you know, had ever hidden in her life.
180
And Louise was really hard and,
181
you know, difficult with the students,
182
but I felt like when you like Celine,
183
when you like McQueen, all these things that have inspired us,
184
I'm just talking directly about fashion.
185
It's because there were people that pushed that hard.
186
And, you know, not to defend myself,
187
but just to take this opportunity.
188
Because I have the mic,
189
it's not someone else's mic,
190
it's my mic, I can talk right now.
191
I feel a responsibility to push in the world.
192
I feel a responsibility in my position to be like, this is some .
193
Am I the only one here that's not crazy?
194
Am I the only one here that's not afraid of losing their Samsung deal right now?

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.
