1
Let's say someone has been kicked in the nuts a good bit by life.
2
How do you advise them to sort of become the hero of their own story?
3
Tomorrow is not today's measurement when the misery is bad enough, right?
4
These people don't have to the suffering consideration.
5
It's a privilege, man.
6
I'm trying to put food on the table right now.
7
I'm paying my rent tonight.
8
You want to talk to me about investing in my future?
9
And I say, and that's part of what faith and religion are for.
10
To help those in misery hang on to a hope that will most likely not be served them in this life,
11
to sell them belief and faith that they will be served in the next.
12
And what if there is nothing there, man?
13
What if there's nothing to hope for?
14
What if there's no next?
15
I don't know.
16
But either way, in misery here or without a heaven there,
17
not having any hope or faith in anything is a certain way to remain where you are forever.
18
But if you can find something that you can keep going, something that no matter how small,
19
to look forward to and continually have faith in and chase, well, then your life here is going to be better now.
20
Heaven or not?
21
That's a great question.
22
You know, I sit here with a life where I have the luxury to project, to ask myself and ask others,
23
no, make a sacrifice today.
24
Sacrifice a plastic ring today for a gold crown tomorrow.
25
Sacrifice something today for more freedom tomorrow.
26
I'm going to sacrifice something today for a possible healthier future for your kids.
27
I understand that's a luxurious position.
28
I'm not going to apologize that I'm in it.
29
But I understand to someone in misery, they're going, good for you, man.
30
I'm trying to feed the family tonight.
31
I'm not thinking past that.
32
I can't think past that.
33
What do you ask them to do?
34
My indirect thing I would say and understand is, well, if you don't have the hope or believe in something,
35
then you're definitely going to remain where you are.
36
And if you have hope and faith in something, I'm not saying it's 100 % get out of jail.
37
You're going to absolutely get out, but you've got the best chance to.
38
God doesn't want to do everything.
39
Some of it's up to you.
40
Amen.
41
And though free will and faith and self -reliance,
42
they can seem contradictory, but I think they do rhyme.
43
And you need both.
44
And we, yes, there's a time for it, inshallah.
45
God willing, there's a time for it.
46
Well, if it's supposed to be, it will be.
47
Yeah, usually right after it happens.
48
Yeah, I think George Janko says every man knows God when he's at his lowest.
49
That there are reliable times when people turn toward faith.
50
And how many people turn at the end of their life?
51
How do you think about forgiving betrayal?
52
I kind of think of when I've been betrayed.
53
When it's clearly betrayal, I know it's betrayal, and that person can look and go, yeah, that's what I did.
54
I've been asked for forgiveness for that before, and I've been also seeing people go, yeah, that's what I did.
55
And they're not asking for forgiveness.
56
They're going, yeah, that's what I did.
57
First response is, well, fuck you.
58
The second one is, if that's on my mind, if that's keeping me up at night, that SOB or whatever that is,
59
I got to flush that.
60
I got to wonder why is that on my mind.
61
I got to forgive that deed, that person for that deed.
62
And again, not necessarily trust them, but do my best to forgive them.
63
And that can take me a while.
64
And I think who it takes me the most time to forgive the betrayal is me.
65
When and if I betray myself.
66
Forgiving myself.
67
Because you know how it is, man.
68
We forgive too quickly.
69
We dust resilient.
70
We hop up and dust yourself off and go, forgive you, let's do it again.
71
And we do become repeat offenders because we didn't take time to put ourself
72
or feel the guilt of the wrongdoing and pay a little penance to look at and go, I don't want to feel this again.
73
I don't want to do that action again to make myself feel this way.
74
I don't, it doesn't, it doesn't feel like me.
75
I don't want to, I don't want that person to have
76
that sadness or anger with me again or the world to have that sadness and anger from this.
77
I don't want to feel that again.
78
And that takes some pause to then go, now I forgive myself.
79
Let's carry on and trust and be ready to do the work to say, we're not going to just let that slide anymore.
80
It's not going to be a way to sneak that one in.
81
I'm going to hold myself to a higher standard.
82
Yeah.
83
Where do you go?
84
What do you think when I really, I gave it my all that I bad myself and I still got kicked in the nuts?
85
Yeah.
86
Not only did I feel like I deserve it, I feel like I earned it.
87
And I still didn't get it.
88
Wait a minute, but you said that's the playbook and I followed the playbook.
89
You said these were the rules and the regulations.
90
I followed it.
91
and I was good at it.
92
I still didn't get it.
93
I suppose that's why we have entrepreneurs and criminals.
94
I have to, I think I naturally come back.
95
And look, I hustle.
96
I'm not puritanical.
97
I'm not making, I'm not trying to preach an absolute straight and narrow way to go things.
98
I've bullshitted my way into things and faked my way into making things, pulled off stunts.
99
But I've never been able to really live with, by hook or by crook, I'll get it how I can get it.
100
I'll lie, cheat, and steal to get it.
101
I got the prize, and I'm still okay.
102
I got it.
103
My own shadow chases me down in the middle of the night, and those nightmares do become my own daymares.
104
Now, the going for it and not getting it, which we see a lot now.
105
Right now, I think we're living in times where one of the indirect examples we're seeing from some leadership is who's got the power?
106
Winner.
107
Okay.
108
So what are the ethics?
109
whatever the winner does yeah but the winner like and pillaged
110
and lying cheating still to get the prize
111
but he won wait a minute you move the goalpost
112
while I had the ball was in the air man is
113
that okay they won and to I'm not buying to say I'm not ready to purchase
114

Pronuncia a cui fare attenzione
Chi parla usa 47 contrazioni e forme ridotte, come I'm, don't, I've. Pronunciale nella forma breve, così come le senti.
- I suoni “sh” e “zh”: shadow /ˈʃædəʊ̯/, regulation /ˌɹɛɡjʊˈleɪʃən/, luxury /ˈlʌk.ʃə.ɹi/, consideration /kənˌsɪd.əˈɹeɪ.ʃən/, measurement /ˈmɛʒ.ə.mənt/
- Parole lunghe — attenzione all’accento: naturally /ˈnæt͡ʃ.(ə.)ɹə.li/, necessarily /ˌnɛs.əˈsɛɹ.ə.li/, regulation /ˌɹɛɡjʊˈleɪʃən/, consideration /kənˌsɪd.əˈɹeɪ.ʃən/, apologize /əˈpɑləˌd͡ʒaɪz/
I suoni difficili per chi parla italiano:
- /h/ — va soffiata, non è muta: hook /hʊk/, hustle /ˈhʌsəl/
- Consonante finale — senza aggiungere una vocale dopo: forgive /fɚˈɡɪv/, sacrifice /ˈsæk.ɹɪ.faɪs/, chase /t͡ʃeɪs/, dust /dʌst/, cheat /ˈt͡ʃiːt/
- /æ/ — più aperta della “e”: sacrifice /ˈsæk.ɹɪ.faɪs/, anger /ˈæŋɡə/, sadness /ˈsædnəs/, naturally /ˈnæt͡ʃ.(ə.)ɹə.li/, shadow /ˈʃædəʊ̯/

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.
