Why try to do everything?

Why try to become everything?

That's a good question.

Why?

And you're the only one personally that can answer that question for yourself.

You've got to have your own list of whys.

Here's what I want you to do when you go home after you've left this extravaganza.

Work on your list of whys.

One of the big thrusts for success is to come up with a strong enough why.

In leadership training, here's what we learn.

If the why is powerful, the how is easy.

But if the why isn't strong,

if your goals aren't powerful,

if the vision isn't clear,

the old prophet said, without a vision we die without a vision we perish without a dream or nothing.

From the movie The Professionals,

I listened to Bill Heron give his testimony yesterday from the movie The Professionals.

It said, we joined because we believed.

We stayed because we were committed.

We left because we were disillusioned.

But we came back because we were lost.

Without a dream, we are nothing.

I'm asking you to sit down with your family and develop a dream strategy.

I'm asking you to make a list of what you want,

what kind of health do you want,

what kind of skills do you want.

Herbalife has got the ability to make it all come true,

but you've got to decide what do you want.

What kind of income do you want?

What kind of gifts do you wish to bestow?

What kind of power would you like to have?

What kind of influence would you like to have?

I'm asking you to go home and work on the why.

Spend some time as you fly over the clouds and over the ocean back to where you came from.

I'm asking you to have a vision by the time you've reached home of why you want Herbalife to work for you,

why you want this kind of income,

why you want this kind of recognition and these kinds of skills.

I'm asking you to develop your own list of why.

Because if you can come up with a strong enough list of why,

Herbalife can furnish the how.

Now here's number two.

The first question to ponder when you go home is why.

Here's another good answer to why.

It's the second question, why not?

Why not see how much you can earn?

Why not see how much you can learn?

Why not see how many skills you can develop?

Why not see what kind of person you can become?

Why not see what kind of influence you can have?

Why not see how many people you can rescue from oblivion?

Why not see how many people you can reach?

I shared one of my goals with a group just last night.

Here it is, one of my goals,

to reach the peak of my skills by the year 2000.

So I've got some work to do by the year 2000,

turn of the century.

turn of the millennium.

I want to reach the peak of my skills by the year 2000.

And then come the next century,

I want to utilize those skills in touching every human I can possibly touch for the rest of my life.

Those are some of my goals.

I want you to establish some of your goals.

I want you to give thoughtful consideration to your goals.

And why not?

If a farm boy can wander out of Idaho and finally arrive at this extravaganza,

why not you?

If Mark Hughes can walk away from the tough side of town

and find a few people and make a dream come true, why not you?

If we've got good health for many, why not the rest?

If it's happened for you, why not others?

And why not you?

I want you to take that personally.

Why not?

You've got to stay here till you go.

I mean, what else are you going to do?

Why not see how much you can do,

how far you can go now here's number three

why not you I Wish I could say that to each of you individually

But it would take a couple of lifetimes to sit down and talk with each of you individually,

but I would rather do that

I'd rather sit down and talk with you

and your family with the fire burning in the living room

than to be standing on this platform That's my true desire

I'd love to talk to you and your children face to face.

That's what I'd really like to do.

I'd love to spend a couple of days with each of you personally and pour out my heart,

my soul, what's going on in my head.

What's going on with me?

See if we couldn't connect and find something valuable.

But time doesn't permit for us to have those intimate conversations and get to know each other that well.

So I've got to do it from up here.

But I want you to take it personal.

And my personal question to you is why not you?

You've got the brains.

You can make decisions.

You can study the plan.

You can change your life.

You can grow immensely in the next few years.

100

You can make your dreams come true.

101

You can build a financial wall around your family nothing can get through.

102

You can become healthy.

103

You can become powerful.

104

Why not you?

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.
