145
I never met a person that I thought was supposed to be my boss.

That was my whole problem.
147
I never met the person that I thought should have been in charge of me.
148
I just, you know, I wasn't arrogant.
149
I just never met the person that I thought should be in charge of me.
150
I always had a different spirit.
151
I thought I would be the best person to be the boss, me.
152
I just had to find something I could be the boss.
153
And comedy was it.
154
I didn't need a partner.
155
You ain't gotta have a team.
156

164
It does not exist.
165
It's a very, very unique skill set, man.
166
And God gave it to me.
167
And that's the thing about, I tell people all the time, if you can identify your God-given gift,
168
that's your greatest chance for success.
169
Because God gave all of you a gift.
170
All of you are gifted, every last one of you.
171
God gave you a gift at birth.
172
He gave it to you.
173
Everybody, you don't have to go to school for it.
174
He gave it to you at birth.
175
You ain't gotta look for it, it's inside you.
176
It's the thing that you do the absolute best with the least amount of effort.
177
That's your God-given gift.
178
When you are living in your gift, when you get up in the morning to go to work, you're overjoyed.
179
This is how you know you're not living in your gift.
180
If you are waking up in the morning and you can't stand waking up
181
cause you don't want to go to your job, it's because you are not living in your God given gift.
182
God created you to have a life of abundance, to wake up in a joyous spirit.
183
If you're not, it's because you have not tuned in to what God created you for.
184
That's all.
185
You know, I know it, look man, I know it sounds simplistic, but it really is the truth.
186
The Bible says your gift will make room for you.
187
Your gift.
188
Once you identify that gift, the thing that you do the absolute best with, you can stop doing everything else.
189
If you do hair better than everybody else, then you're supposed to be doing hair.
190
If you cut grass better than anybody else, you should be cutting grass.

If you bake pie better than anybody else, you oughta be somewhere baking pie.
192
If everybody gots to have your fried chicken, you oughta be somewhere making chicken.
193
What is you down there at the plant for, driving the truck when clearly God made you to be a chef or to be a caregiver?
194
That's what he made you for.
195
Anything else you're doing, man, you're wasting your time.
196
And you only got one life.
197
You oughta drop what you're doing and go do it before you mess around and die.
198
I heard Bishop Jake's talking one time.
199
Bishop Jake said, I would hate to die and never do the thing I was born to do.
200
I would hate to do that.
201
I never, man.
202
I'm so glad God gave me what I came to do and I found it.
203
So I wake up overjoyed.
204
I wake up in the morning, my alarm go off, I ain't tripping.
205
Matter of fact, I don't even set my alarm.
206
I haven't set my alarm in years, because I wake up.
207
I can't wait to get up.
208
I'm gonna go down here and tell some jokes.
209
They gonna give me a check?
210
What?
211
Wait a minute.
212
You mean I'm gonna get up, I'm gonna play music on a radio show for four hours.
213
When I ain't playing music, I'm telling some more jokes.
214
They gonna give me a check?
215
What?
216
I come down here, I meet y'all.
217
You know what I do?
218
I tell jokes.
219
Your gift will make room for you.
220
That's what it did for me.
221
Your gift do the same thing for you.
222
You just got to identify it and go do it.
223
Stop wasting your time down there at these jobs.
224
They ain't got nothing to do with you.
225
Well, first of all success is not fame or money
226
You just get that out the way success is Living your best life with the gift that God gave you That's success
227
That's what success is If you were born to teach and you're teaching, that's success.
228
If you were born to care, that's success.
229
If you were born to be a first responder, to serve and protect, if you were born to serve the military and you're in the military, that's success.
230
It ain't money or fame.
231
There's a lot of people got money and fame.
232
That ain't success, man.
233
That's hard anyway.
234
So that's really what I would call success.
235
I'm successful in my own right because I took the gift God gave me and I just, I pounded it, man.
236
I just pounded it.
237
I just did this gift he gave me and I just worked it, worked it, worked it, worked it.
238
Well, I kept the faith the whole time, but the whole time I was believing I was working.
239
Faith without works is dead.
240
You can believe all you want.
241
If you ain't gonna put no effort behind it.
242
So I just pounded the gift.
243
It just so happens I have a gift that I've learned to multiply.
244
And then I put some financial goals to it.
245
And through the grace of God, I got it.
246
I mean, you know, but really, if you look at my life, it's really God's grace, man, because I don't really deserve the life I have.
247
I really don't.
248
I don't work no harder than no other man in here.
249
This is favor.
250
God just showed me favor, man.
251
He just gave me a life way bigger than the one I was...
252
The one I was planning on wasn't this big.
253
I ain't see all this happening.
254
That's why it kills when people win awards and they go, you know, I always knew I'd be here.
255
Really?
256
I'd be stunned when I watch people on award shows.
257
You know, I always knew I'd be here.
258
I dreamed of this.
259
Really?
260
You dreamed of this?
261

262

263
I didn't know nothing about no jets.
264
I was a little boy.
265
Jet, I wanted a bike.
266
You know, people kill me, man.
267
They get there, and they don't say nothing to God about it.
268
That's why your hand don't go back there on your back, because it don't belong back there.
269
You ever tried to pat yourself on the back?
270
It don't go back there, because it don't belong back there.
271
And you got people, man, get up on these award shows, And they don't mention God.
272
They ain't got nothing to say to God.
273
They go, I had a fire manager one time.
274
I was on stage thanking God at this award show.
275
When I came on stage, you know, Steve always getting on stage thanking God.
276
He don't ever thank the people.
277
I went, whoa.
278
Whoa, dog, hold on.
279
When you take yourself to put yourself in front of God on the list of things I should be thanking, it's time for me and you to separate.
280
Because I don't know who you think you are.
281
You're not it, bro.

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.
