1
In my mind, I'm always the best.
2
I don't care what the people are thinking, what they say.
3
In my mind, I'm always the best.
4
I'm always going to say that.
5
Why be normal when you can be the best?
6
I don't want to be normal.
7
I want to make the difference.
8
So everything I do, I want to make the difference.
9
Because when I make the difference, I'm the best.
10
And that is not arrogance, that is confidence.
11
like their advice is invalid.
12
You see this guy here staring back at you?
13
Yeah?
14
That's your toughest opponent.
15
Every time you get into the ring, that's who you're going against.
16
I believe that in boxing, and I do believe that in life.
17
Before you can ever reach anything, you have to believe it.
18
You don't just mistakenly become great.
19
I say chase your dreams, man.
20
Do that thing, man, that keeps you up at night.
21
That thing that bothers you, man, that makes you trip.
22
It don't matter how much it feel like it ain't gonna work.
23
Delusional.
24
Complete delusion.
25
You gotta believe the delusions.
26
Because it's only delusional until it works.
27
So is it really delusional?
28
Why would you think you could make it to the NBA?
29
Because I think I can do anything.
30
Anything in life that you put your mind to, you can do.
31
The world is your oyster.
32
That's all I tell people.
33
But the truth is, I'm really in pursuit of greatness.
34
I know people don't usually talk like that, but I want to be one of the greats.
35
I'm inspired by the greats.
36
I'm inspired by the greats here tonight.
37
I'm as inspired by Daniel Day -Lewis, Marlon Brando, and Viola Davis as I am by Michael Jordan and Michael Phelps.
38
And I want to be up there.
39
I'm just talk, but here I am walking.
40
Where's everybody else?
41
I'm here.
42
You know, greatness is not meant for a few chosen people.
43
It's meant for those who persistently pursue their dreams every day and make that choice when they wake up.
44
So, just a mentality.
45
see it there's nothing delusional about it now your delusion becomes oh he was a genius we didn't see it
46
when he saw it we didn't understand it
47
when he did we thought this mother was crazy
48
but he definitely always he always figured this thing was the thing to do and he's he stuck by that
49
Connor in February of 2013 we spoke for the first time you didn't have a car you didn't have a pot
50
Now here you are with the undisputed gold.
51
Enjoy it, my friend.
52
You deserve it.
53
You called it.
54
Yeah, from nothing to something to everything.
55
So that's where I am right now.
56
To get anything of value, you have to sacrifice.
57
I know that, Dan, but I think if we continue down this road, it's going to be too detrimental for the kids.
58
It's just too hard.
59
Do you know that the harder thing to do and the right thing to do are usually the same thing?
60
Nothing that has meaning is easy.
61
Easy doesn't enter into grown up worlds.
62
It's all in your mind.
63
Whatever you hold in your mind will tend to occur in your life.
64
If you continue to believe as you have always believed, you will continue to act as you have always acted.
65
You will continue to get what you have always gotten.
66
If you want different results in your life or your work, all you have to do is change your mind.
67
You're always afraid to take the first step, because all you see is every negative thing ten miles down the road.
68
Because you can do anything you want.
69
You are bound by nothing.
70
What are you passionate about?
71
What do you want?
72
There's a certain delusional...
73
quality.
74
that all successful people have to have.
75
As I sit here before you right now, as honestly as I can say it to you, I truly believe that I could be the president if I wanted to.
76
And as bizarre as that may sound to people
77
that have traveled the path before me and to people who actually know how difficult it is, foolish Will Smith honestly believes it.
78
people are controlled by thoughts their perception of themselves they're slowed down by their perception of themselves
79
if you're taught you can't do anything you won't do anything I was taught I could do everything
80
and I'm Kanye West at age 36 One thing that I like that helped me is,
81
uh, you're crazy until you're successful.
82
Then you're a genius.
83
And I think For a lot of people when you're grinding as a small channel, people think you're too obsessed.
84
You're a weirdo.
85
Stop only making videos.
86
Get a life. Be realistic.
87
You know, I mean people will convince you you're out of your mind for wanting to do this.
88
But then once you're successful, they're like, "Yo, your drive, your tenacity was great !" But it's like, "Yeah, well, where was that back then?" You know what I mean?
89
I didn't get that when I was a small channel.
90
And so, I think you're crazy until you're successful, then you're a genius.
91
I dreamt this so much, so clearly, so precisely, and so frequently, that it has manifested itself into reality.
92
And that's what I am feeling right now.
93
It's a dream come true.
94
wrong that I know I'm doing wrong, that I could fix, that I would fix.
95
You meditate on that, you'll get an answer.
96
And it won't be one you want, but it'll be the necessary one.
97
All you want to do is go back home.
98
You want the warmth, you may want something to eat, you want your girl to hold you.
99
All those things of comfort are there in that one second.
100
And this is where people lose.
101
So what I do in that one second, because we all think about quitting, it's hard.
102
But what you have to do in that one second is hard to process information during pain.
103
because that pain takes over and you can't think rationally.
104
You're thinking about fight or flight, save yourself.
105
That's not a rational thought.
106
It's not a thought that's going to get you through hard times.
107
you have to have and that's where delusion comes in
108
because delusion is only delusional
109
when you don't accomplish the goals of making your delusions a
110
reality right that's what it's delusional right you you're just enforcing
111
your mindset oh yeah to allow those delusions to be the reality of your
112
assessment as a competitor if you're trying to do something Meaningful?
113
If you don't have the mindset that you're the best ever You've failed already.
114
So if you don't have the mindset that you are the best reporter ever Then you already failed.
115
And that's been my mindset since I can remember.
116
That will be my mindset as long as I can remember anything.
117
That I am the best ever at what I do.
118
And every day that I step on the basketball floor, I will strive to be that.
119
But my mindset will always be as such as I am the best to do what I do.
120
And that will give me a shot at being the best.
121
Relationships are going to break down your body is going to fail you you're going to become ill
122
or sick or destitute things are going to happen You have no control over mm -hmm,
123
and the only way that you can prepare yourself for unchosen suffering is with chosen suffering Never stop fighting
124
No matter what anyone says no matter how they try to compromise you compromise your vision and if it's in your gut,
125
if it's in your soul, there's nothing, there's no worldly possessions that should come between you and your expression.
126
As a race, human beings were a blip in existence Death is promised.
127
So what do you do with your life?
128
How do you make the most of it?
129
How do you make your voice the loudest.
130
If you don't keep your promise, then what are you really?
131
Your promise, your word is your reputation and your reputation precedes you anywhere you go.
132
Sadly, these days everyone's so willing, so quick to break promises and to ghost people and to, you know, say something but do the other thing.
133
And I don't know, maybe I come from a generation that's different or maybe I just...
134
don't know any better, but I'm telling you right now, a man who can keep his promise and who can keep his word is a man of higher reputation, of higher value, and higher self -worth.
135
Right?
136
If you have like self -esteem, self -confidence problems, it's because you probably haven't been keeping promises to yourself.
137
A man who has high confidence keeps promises that he makes to himself and to others.
138
If you don't, any rational person would give up.
139
It's really hard and you have to do it over a sustained period of time.
140
So if you don't love it, if you're not having fun doing it and you don't really love it, you're going to give up.
141
It's not a bad thing to be unique.
142
It's not a bad thing to be different.
143
It's not a bad thing to be comfortable with yourself regardless of what everybody else around you is doing.
144
- 400 trillion to one.
145
When you understand that math, how can't you live your life?
146
That's how rare it is to be a human being.
147
And what are you waiting for?
148
Like, you've been given this ridiculous triple miracle.
149
Like you're literally more likely to win the lotto 10 times in your life than actually have a life.
150
So I ask you my friends, with this one life, you're gonna sit on your couch and dwell, you're gonna be upset about some shortcoming,
151
you're gonna be upset about that thing that I'm asking you, I'm promising you, please take this swing.
152
Make this at bat.
153
I am so tired of people stopping because their uncle critiqued them.
154
Or their mom made fun of them along the way.
155
Or their girlfriend doesn't think that they can do it.
156
You've got one at bat, 400 trillion to one.
157
Please do something about it.
158
We are living through the greatest era to be alive ever.
159
Yes, there's stuff.
160
I got news for you.
161
There's always stuff.
162
when you put it all on yourself, when it's your fault and your wins, when you own it, that's when it starts happening.
163
So please, please squeeze the sh *t out of your one life.
164
My brain...
165
Cannot you cannot process failure.
166
I It will not process failure.
167
Because if I have to...
168
If I sit there and have to face myself and tell myself, You're a failure.
169
I think that's a worse, that's almost worse than death.
170
I felt like everybody had written me off after those air balls.
171
And I got home, it was probably like 3 in the morning.
172
And I went down to the high school, which is down the street from my house.
173
And the janitor let me in the gym, and I shot all day.
174
All day.
175
I mean, all day.
176
And this was right after that playoff game.
177
and I didn't leave the gym.
178
I just kept shooting and shooting and shooting and shooting and practicing and practicing.
179
And I got a chance to let out the steam of disappointing my teammates and millions of fans.
180
I got a chance to let all that out instead of bottling it up
181
and envision that moment over and over and over and over and over.
182
that says you know as soon as you look back in your history
183
and you come up with something
184
that you feel like you want to change something else has to change you know
185
so what about your biggest disappointment once again that's the same
186
same analogy you know disappointment to me to win you got
187
to lose to be successful you got to have something that's not successful to be happy you
188
I think all of those things have evolved and happened to make Me, who I am.
189
Do you think...

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
