Called me at 7 36 p.m.

I remember the number Hey pop.

Hey, what's up monkey man?

So this can talk about something sure Dad I Don't want to go to law school anymore.

I Want to go to film school little beat of sweat starts

go down the back of my neck I'm like here it

comes you want what I thought he was gonna go and know this stuff about Like my you know, man, you know that could be a hobby,

but yeah, that's not a drill job I thought all this was coming.

And after about a five second pause, he goes, I hear this.

Are you sure that's what you want to do?

Yes, sir.

And I hear, well, don't half-ass it.

In the way he said don't half-ass it was also, okay, let's go big boy.

Own that.

Get some leverage, get some horsepower behind where you're going.

Go do it.

If you're going to do it, do it.

Say what you can do.

Do what you say.

If you can't do it, don't say you can do it.

Don't over-leverage yourself.

Don't over-leverage a decision and then jump in and kind of dip a toe.

I think I'll try it out.

No, think if you're going to try it out beforehand, but when it's time to go, dive.

Finish it.

Find out.

Come out the other side.

Don't leave it and go, If I just would, uh-uh.

That keeps me up at night.

I think it keeps a lot of us up at night.

When you half-assed something you just don't know whether you failed

or succeeded got what you want or didn't get what you want finding out

and looking in the mirror and going I

Didn't have I said I went all the way I found out

and that ain't for me or I found out and you damn right that is for me

That's a great place to get to let's go to the dream.

Let's flip that script.

I Always have gone from nonfiction to say let's make that the dream just keep living art emulates life

So I flipped it and said let's go to dreams, let's go to prayer poems, prayers.

These are pursuits of an ideal beauty.

These are in between the lines.

This is in between the math.

This is not academic.

This is not intellectual.

These are ideals that we pursue.

The beginner's mind that we have as a child before we know worse.

And I don't want to be ignorant.

I don't want to be foolishly optimistic.

Let's look to those and believe that we can still make those real.

I grew up only knowing sort of the courage of the persistence persistence.

Be resilient, endure, get up, dust yourself off, go.

The problem with that, the Achilles heel with that is

if you get up and get the courage to keep on going every time and get up and dust yourself off,

you make the same mistakes each time around because you never backed up to have what I've now learned.

I'm still learning is the courage to go.

No, I'm going to let some people pass me in the race right now

because I'm going to look at why I keep stepping in that damn same pothole and twisted my ankle, the same spot.

Why I keep failing when I try to get

that next spot in this relationship or failing in this place to get this product of my craft to the next.

There is a unique sort of circle of hell

that is reserved for when you keep on making the same mistake over and over again, that you've done it, you've had to pay the penance,

say that you're sorry and then arrives straight back at the same place.

Yeah.

I think there's a hell in the mirror.

Then I think it can become a living hell.

Like I kept that poem in there, Daymares.

I love that one.

I do too.

You know, nightmares suck, but at least you wake up.

And they're over.

It's the ones that stick with you when you wake up and go through your day that are right there.

Those are the ones.

That's the living hell.

You repeat a fin enough, word gets out.

The circles gets out.

People doubt you.

on your approach, you're like, yeah, but don't do this.

I mean, all of a sudden, you're going places, you gotta look over your shoulder.

You gotta see who's there that I didn't pay back.

Who do I owe?

What bridge did I burn?

What person did I betray to get where I am?

That's a life, that's a living hell.

Well, forget that, that in the modern world, you can move from city to city.

At least you can, in some regard, leave your reputation behind.

However, if you lose your reputation with yourself, If you no longer trust you, I don't keep my own words.

I know that I'm not a trustworthy person.

I keep making promises to myself and to other people and I keep on breaking them.

I keep doing something that hurts other people or the same person.

They don't trust me anymore and oh, I don't trust me anymore.

If I said I can't, my dad's teeth would just start to go, Excuse me?

You sure you're not just having trouble?

I remember this one time.

I was going out to do my chores Saturday morning to mow the lawn, and I couldn't get the damn lawnmower to start.

Checked everything, couldn't get a start.

I'm going inside, I said, Dad, can you help me?

I can't get the lawnmower started.

And he turned around, I saw his mow this, and went.

And he got up, walked with me through the kitchen, through the garage, out the backyard, went to the lawnmower, messed around, pulled a couple things out,

100

da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, after about 10 minutes, boom, I cranked it.

101

And while the lawnmower was running right there, he came over to me and bent down and looked me at it.

102

He goes, see son, you were just having trouble.

103

Be less impressed and more involved.

104

More involved, yeah.

105

What did you mean by that?

106

And where did that come from?

107

It came from, we grew up hardcore on gratitude.

108

I'm a very thankful guy.

109

And being thankful and having gratitude's very important.

110

But you can't stop there.

111

Because too much just, oh, I'm so happy to be here.

112

You're so impressed to be here.

113

Thank you for having me, which we should have, but if you live only there,

114

we can't be present and be involved in whatever we're doing and do it as well as we want to do it.

115

You gotta go, no, thank you for letting me be here and I'm supposed to be here.

116

Now let's go.

117

If I'm even talking to you, if I'm here going, man, I'm so happy to be here.

118

If I'm just happy to be here and go no further than that, I can't have, we can't have this conversation.

119

I'm not, I won't be there yet.

120

I can't be grounded enough to have it right here.

121

I'd be like, I'd anticipate my thoughts.

122

I'd say something that may, is only the pretty stuff and not the ugly stuff, or oh, don't wanna be mean.

123

So to be involved allowed me to be more honest and have more courage.

124

When we're involved, we're more honest and have more courage to do what we're fashioned to do.

125

How life was nothing but green lights and we didn't have yellows and reds, things that make us pause, hardships, crises, times for introspection,

126

then what the hell would it all be for?

127

We need the yellows and the reds.

128

That's how we evolve.

129

That's how hopefully there's some ascension to our being.

130

That's how we give some credit to time and growing older.

131

If we were the same person today that we were 20 years ago, then what the hell are we doing?

132

If anything, I would say to my 15-year-old self, go fail more.

133

If anything, I would say to you, go fail more.

134

Forget them.

135

Those people on the sidelines that are saying the thumbs down or calling you something or being snarky.

136

They're on the sidelines for a reason.

137

You've got this great line where you say

138

so many people are obsessed with how to live longer instead of how to live better.

139

Yeah.

140

How do you come to think about that?

141

I'm for it.

142

The longevity.

143

I'm for it.

144

But in the pursuit of it, are we measuring quality of life along the way?

145

Some people aren't.

146

and I personally don't want to have the highest number, but then go, well, that wasn't any fun, or I didn't enjoy that, or that sucked.

147

Profit measures quality with the quantity.

148

So I'm saying real success is when you have profit.

149

Well, really great longevity would be for those quality years, quality time left in this life.

150

I also say that because while I'm not looking forward to it, I'm not really afraid of death or dying.

151

Not looking forward to it.

152

I'm not shaking my boots if I'm face to face with that great wife.

153

You know what I mean?

154

I'm not looking forward to it.

155

But I see it as a, obviously it's inevitable, and obviously I personally see it as hopefully a comma.

156

Not a period.

157

Tomorrow is not today's measurement when the misery is bad enough.

158

right?

159

These people don't have to the suffering consideration.

160

It's a privilege, man.

161

I'm trying to put food on the table right now.

162

I'm paying my rent tonight.

163

You want to talk to me about investing in my future?

164

And I say, and that's part of what faith and religion are for,

165

to help those in misery hang on to a hope that will most likely not be served them in this life, to sell them belief and faith that they will be served in the next.

166

And what if there is nothing there man?

167

What if there's nothing to hope for?

168

What if there's no next?

169

I don't know

170

But either way in misery here or without a heaven there not having any hope

171

or faith in anything is a certain way to remain where you are

172

forever But if you can find something that you can keep going

173

Something that no matter how small to look forward to

174

and continually have faith in and chase well then your life here is gonna be better now heaven or not.

175

What about love?

176

We always knew we were loved.

177

There's never a question that we were loved as loving each other, loving mom and dad, being loved by mom and dad,

178

and mom would always keep on making sure you're loving yourself.

179

I remember breakups, heartbroken.

180

She'd let us mourn.

181

She was a great ear, very sensitive ear to that kind of, to pains like that, broken hearts, but only for a day.

182

After a day, she'd crank up the ACDC, man, and go like, now, skid up.

183

You're worth it, her loss.

184

Come on, get out of bed.

185

Uh-uh, come on, uh-uh, quit moping, lift your head up.

186

Come on, come on, buddy, we got this.

187

Uh-uh, her loss.

188

Give you the day, no more than that.

189

Hustle, hustle, hustle.

190

Sleep was sin in my household.

191

Sin, I saw my dad asleep one time in my life.

192

There's a fierce sense of independence.

193

Power, 30 minutes of TB a night, max.

194

Mom would always say, why are you gonna watch someone doing something

195

when you can go out in the world and do it yourself?

196

Turn that damn thing off, get outside.

197

Had to be outside.

198

Like, go get out, the world, go hustle.

199

Figure it out, be home and dark.

200

And I was like, time to become a man.

201

Walk forward, peripheral vision, get it.

202

Own yourself, walk forward with more courage, and start becoming the man you wanna be instead of acting like it and putting it off.

203

I think in life you want to be finding people that believe in you more than you believe in you.

204

That hold you to higher standards.

205

I think that's the definition of a good friend.

206

I think that's the definition of a good partner.

207

It's the definition of a good husband, wife.

208

You know, they remind us of the best of ourselves.

209

They shine that light and remind us because we do.

210

I know I do.

211

I put the blinds on it and I don't see it.

212

What do you wish more people knew about the price of success? in life.

213

Success has taken on different definitions over time.

214

It used to have to do with integrity.

215

Actually, I think it was a word that was in the definition in 1901 or 11.

216

And now, you know, money, fame, that's your definition of success. So

217

it seems to be that

218

and always has been to some extent whoever has more is

219

most successful more access more money you're the winner i'm not

220

saying it's a it's it's a race to the red light

221

but i am saying the fourth quarter of

222

that being your goal the residuals decline on quality of life i've met many more very rich men who chase

223

that dollar to be successful and to be relevant for having the most money that the last 15,

224

20, even younger years were bewildered, lost, had no relationships, didn't have purpose.

225

Chasing the dollar, they just did it.

226

They were good at it and made it happen, but they didn't feel what they were doing.

227

They couldn't even necessarily say what they were really good at.

228

Just good deal makers or made the right calls in certain mathematics.

229

But that's That's the definition.

230

It's also why I wasn't surprised when Trump first got elected.

231

It's fame.

232

It's money.

233

We sell that every day in the West as this is how you make it.

234

It's America.

235

This is what you do.

236

That's America.

237

That's America.

238

If success is the key, if success is the measurement, and you can get it by lying,

239

cheating, and stealing, and still be rewarded the gold medal, We that's what's happening.

240

Are we are we are we ready to say that's okay?

241

Are we ready to say that's just how it is we have leaders in positions now.

242

They're saying Yeah, just win Would you just win just succeed?

243

But yeah, okay you get there you did it congratulations come to the front of the line So what are the ethics?

244

I don't know what the winner do well, but they Wait, what about what about rules?

245

Oh, yeah, by the way the rules if you follow them You're a sucker.

246

I started to find myself going, oh wait a minute.

247

I'm not ready to say.

248

That's just how it is.

249

I'm interested in so many things that my hunch is to not take on more campfires,

250

but to keep putting logs on the fires that I've built.

251

And to do that, the clouds that come with fall just nip ambition in the bud in the bud, just a little bit.

252

They put a little bit of a roof.

253

I kind of like, I'm not as big of a fan of the 30-foot vault ceiling right now.

254

I like that 10-footer, that eight-footer.

255

I feel ambitious looking laterally instead of, oh my God, the four-dimension.

256

I'm looking for the dreams and the poems and the prayers to become the reality.

257

And I like a little bit of shade.

258

What's the difference between a nice guy and a good man?

259

A nice guy gets along.

260

Yeah, I'll do that.

261

Yeah, I'll do that.

262

They don't necessarily have discernment or judgment, not sure what they stand for or stand against.

263

It's like, yes, yes, yes, sure, yeah, hey.

264

A good man has ideals that they stand for and they'll stand against, and when they're tested, a good man is not a nice guy.

265

I didn't want to keep forgiving myself on Sunday and then repeat and do the same again Monday to Friday, And then go, oh, now I can be forgiven.

266

I was like, no, man.

267

Forgive me, Father.

268

I know what I'm doing, and I keep doing it.

269

Cut the , McConaughey.

270

Quit giving yourself that out, that parachute, even though you may have it, even though word says grace of God will forgive you.

271

I need to strong arm myself, put my damn hands on the wheel, look in the mirror and go, it's on you, because it is.

272

And if you forgive me, and you believe that I mean I'm truly sorry.

273

I'm...

274

Do my best not to ever do that again.

275

If you believe that, and then you forgive me.

276

First order of business is for me to change the behavior

277

that I have so I don't have to come say sorry to you again.

278

That I think we miss sometimes.

279

Sometimes people go, I'm sorry, I'm forgiven.

280

Oh, cool, we're even.

281

Alright, back to it.

282

And all of a sudden you're like, you did it again.

283

Dude, have a little reward.

284

I thought you were gonna course correct.

285

You know, I've got a course correct.

286

The offender's, the first order of business for the offender to go, I'm gonna do what I can not to have to say I'm sorry to you again.

287

I gotta forgive that deed, that person for that deed, and again, not necessarily trust him,

288

but do my best to forgive him.

289

And that can take me a while, and I think who it takes me the most time to forgive the betrayal is me.

290

Me, when and if I betray myself, forgiving myself.

291

We forgive too quickly, we dust resilient, we hop up and dust yourself off and go, forgive you, let's do it again.

292

We do become repeat offenders because we didn't take time to put ourself

293

or feel the guilt of the wrongdoing and pay a little penance to look at and go, I don't wanna feel this again.

294

I don't wanna do that action again to make myself feel this way.

295

I don't, it doesn't feel like me.

296

I don't want that person to have that sadness or anger with me again.

297

Or the world to have that sadness and anger from this, I don't want to feel that again.

298

And that takes some pause.

299

What's better?

300

Take eight big risks in life.

301

Sin once, miss the mark once, but get seven, achieve seven.

302

Seven out of eight.

303

Or take a hundred risks and achieve eight of them.

304

My hunch is that if there's a God, he's saying, go for the hundred and get eight.

305

Rather than eight and get seven.

306

If you're not taking enough risk to sin or miss the mark, which is what sin means,

307

to fail, then what are you doing?

308

Don't go back with even money.

309

Go back with the safe bets.

310

Life's mystery going forward is science looking back.

311

When you look back, we can all connect every single dot.

312

It's mathematical, scientific how we got to this table right here.

313

We've got plans for this afternoon, but we're not sure what's going to happen.

314

But everything looking back, it's all connected if we go back and look at it.

315

And there's a whole lot of, I thought that was the end.

316

Well, it was the end, but it was the beginning of this thing.

317

Or I caught that red light

318

and therefore made me 60 seconds later to get to

319

that cafe where I met that movie producer or that woman who became my wife or whatever that is.

320

It don't make sense at the time, but looking back, it's all a science.

321

Where I said self-reliance, it's on me, man.

322

Forget fate, I'm not relying on God.

323

I ain't praying for nothing.

324

It's on me.

325

Responsibility, self-reliance.

326

I believe that when I came, and you need both.

327

And we, yes, there's a time for it, inshallah.

328

God willing, there's a time for it.

329

Well, if it's supposed to be, it will be.

330

Thank you.

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.
