1
Life is not in a box.
2
There's no rules.
3
It's what you make with life.
4
If you want to be old, you can be old.
5
And if you fight a bit, you can carry on much longer.
6
Doesn't mean you don't sometimes have aches and pains, that's for sure.
7
Getting stiff or can't touch your toes as easily.
8
Can't put your socks on, that's the main thing, early in the morning.
9
But other than that...
10
it's all in the mind.
11
Oh, I've had enough of my own heart sores.
12
My one and only child, she died at 15 months.
13
And there was no chance of having another one.
14
I remember I asked, the day when it happened, I asked the minister, will I ever be able to laugh again?
15
And he said to me 'yes, you will laugh again'.
16
And you do. You get to a point where you realise she wouldn't have wanted you to sit in that horrible deep hole that you were sitting in.
17
The eina (pain) never really goes away.
18
But you can live fully, by looking life square in the face.
19
Look at it. Look at it and say yes, it does hurt.
20
It hurts tremendously.
21
But am I going to stay like this for another 50 years.
22
No. That's all you get from me.
23
You can feel sorry for yourself, to a point.
24
But work through it, pull up your shoulders, and go on.
25
Don't carry baggage with you.
26
Where do you want to take it?
27
It doesn't take you anywhere.
28
Get angry and get it over with.
29
Get angry, yah. Get angry and kick a door.
30
Or go and sit in a corner and cry it out.
31
Get angry. Everyone told you to behave. Why?
32
Why must I behave?
33
If I'm cross, I'm cross.
34
So get angry, but get it over with.
35
Getting it out, you get calmer, in your inner self.
36
Don't ask me how, I don't know. But it does.
37
There's no secret to life.
38
I just think, don't put life in a box.
39
It's your approach to life.
40
Do you see the beauty in it, or do you just exist?
41
Be careful to just exist.
42
That's dangerous.
43
It's not big things in life that make you happy.
44
It's to be able to see the beauty in the small things.
45
Or when you see a nice flower.
46
Have you ever smelled it? Have you ever smelled earth?
47
There are very few things that smell as nice as earth.
48
Go for life.
49
There is enough time where you're not there any more.
50
Go for it while you are there.
51

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
