1
We sit around, we talk about it all the time.
2
I said, man, I couldn't believe you was in my house.
3
He said, man, I think about that all the time.
4
He said, you should have gave me the money.
5
I said, man, I had a money.
6
I was homeless for a while, right?
7
But finally messing around, got some money in 90,
8
like 96, I signed my first big deal and I bought a house.
9
And 1996 was when plays got started up real big.
10
is a promoter named Al Wash bought this homeless dude to my house.
11
Now, I just bought this house.
12
They didn't know it.
13
They thought I was bawling because I just bought this house.
14
I had $1 ,700 left after I bought this house.
15
This promoter named Al Wash bought this homeless dude to my house named Tyler Perry.
16
Tyler sat in my office going, man, you got a nice house.
17
I was house poor.
18
I didn't have no money.
19
I took my $400 ,000 that I had, and I put $350 ,000 down on the house.
20
Because I said, if commie don't ever do nothing else for them, I'll buy one house.
21
I bought a $1 .1 million house.
22
I put $350 ,000 down on it with the builder, and I had a house note.
23
And I figured through my jokes, I could make the house note.
24
Tyler Perry sat in my office and told me about this church plays he was going to do.
25
And, you know, I couldn't even tell him.
26
he was coming to me to borrow $25 ,000 I ain't had no $25 ,000 I got $1 ,700
27
but I liked the dude I said man I think you own the something I said let me think about it
28
you know cause I didn't want to say I ain't got the money I was a young dude back then
29
if I knew what I knew I would have just said hey man I don't have the money
30
but let me help you and make me a partner
31
or something like that but I didn't know how to do that and walked away.
32
You see who Tyler Perry is now?
33
I do shows at Tyler Perry Studios.
34
We sit around, we talk about it all the time.
35
I said, man, I couldn't believe you was in my house.
36
He said, man, I think about that all the time.
37
He said, you should have gave me the money.
38
I said, man, I had a money.
39
Why don't you give me some money?
40
A lot of money, man.
41
It's funny, you know, you see people successful.
42
And what you see is you see this snapshot of who they are.
43
What you have to focus on is how they got there.
44
Because that's the story that you can relate to.
45
You can't relate to Tyler Perry as he is today.
46
But if you knew he was sitting in my house when he was homeless,
47
needing $25 ,000, that sounded a lot more like you than owning Tyler Perry Studios.
48
That's why it's important, man.
49
I feel when people become successful that they become transparent and open up the real truth to themselves.
50
I can't stand it when rich people stand in front of people talking about, you know, you can buy a house with no money down
51
and follow me and I can show you how to get rich.
52
No, the you can't.
53
And you can't buy a house with no money down.
54
You might be able to buy a house with no money down, but when you get the closing, you're gonna need some money, man.
55
They don't tell you that .
56
But you know, they sit up there and they don't tell people the truth.
57
I came up with a slogan the other day on the radio.
58
You need God to get there, but you need more God to stay there.
59
If you have any aspiration for success, you gotta get some God.
60
Now let me tell you something.
61
You can try it without him, cause I did that.
62
You can try to make it without God.
63
You might even get some measures of success, but you ain't gonna be able to stay there, man.
64
You ever, you've seen it many times.
65
Lot of people hit it.
66
You know, I did this on my own, Luminati, that .
67
You can't hold, man.
68
You need God, I'm just telling you real.
69
You gotta have God.
70
It's a cold piece of work.
71
At the end of the day, whether you a young cat out here hustling, or you an old person trying to hold on,
72
you can turn all that into flourishing if you put some God in your life.
73
That's all to it.
74
And I'm just an old street cat telling you this here.
75
And I don't even know nothing about five scriptures.
76
Ta -da!
77
I wouldn't have blown my 20s, man.
78
I'd have put my foot on the gas pedal a long time ago.
79
But, and that's what most young people do, you mess up your 20s.
80
You end up spending your 30s trying to make up for what you didn't do in your 20s.
81
And then you mess around and you're 40 and you starting to become what you could have been in your 30s.
82
And then you look up one day and your ass is 50. and you're going down.
83
And that would be my advice.
84
I would have put my foot on the gas.
85
I had my foot on the gas, but I didn't have the right direction, man.
86
I wish I had met somebody really successful, because what I wanted to go into, man, I knew nobody.
87
So what changed my life was I started reading self -help books, two books.
88
If you want, the Bible is essential.
89
Every self -help book is written off the principles of the Bible.
90
Don't you let nobody fool you.
91
That big book, The Secret, that's the Bible.
92
Don't let anybody fool you.
93
Proverbs is the book of wisdom and understanding.
94
When you read the book of Proverbs, buddy, you can come out of there with real information.
95
But if you gotta get self -help books, the two books I recommend is The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale.
96
That's a powerful book.
97
It teaches you how to think positively, and that's what you draw to your life.
98
Second book, The Magic of Thinking Big by David Schwartz.
99
If you can think positive and master the art of thinking big, it changes your life.
100
See, Volkswagen, Rolls Royce.
101
It don't take no more energy to say
102
Rolls Royce than to do Volkswagen.
103
So why say Volkswagen when you could easily just say Rolls Royce?
104
Being successful is not a magic trick.
105
This is all it is.
106
The difference between successful people and non -successful people is just what happens in here.
107
and then you determine what level success is for you.
108
If success is 75 ,000 a year, go be successful.
109
If it's 700 ,000 a year, if you wanna be a millionaire, get at it.
110
That's really the truth of it.
111
It sounds real simple, but it's just getting people to believe that that simple thing is available to them.
112
But which it is, because if you're a Christian, you should have something to show for it anyway, because you're God's child and he owns everything,
113
and you're his and he'll give you anything you ask for.
114
If you have faith, believe faith without works are dead.
115
If you just do that.
116
Am I going too deep here?
117
I just...
118
All right, let's go.
119
I had those moments, man, where I had to really make some tough decisions because I was tired of being homeless, man.
120
I was tired of gigs, coming every now and then, living in the car.
121
Thought about calling my old man, asking him, could I come back to Cleveland and live there until I got a job, but...
122
It's a funny thing about faith, man.
123
Faith is a belief in things that you cannot see.
124
And sometimes when you can't see no way, that's when you really got to have faith, because that's what it is.
125
If you could see it, you wouldn't have to have faith.
126
If you knew you were gonna be rich in four years, you would act totally different.
127
because you know in four years I'm gonna be rich.
128
So all you gotta do, then you wouldn't need faith.
129
All you need is patience.
130
But God don't reveal to you when he gonna give it to you because that would destroy the relationship of faith.
131
He just requires that you have the faith.
132
Now he gonna give it to you.
133
If you write it down, he gonna give it to you.
134
Everything that's in your imagination is God showing you a preview of a coming attraction he has for you.
135
That's what your imagination is.
136
So once you write it down and you adhere to that, the law of attraction is at work.
137
That's how it works, man.
138
It's not a magic trick.
139
It ain't your education.
140
If you wanna be a doctor or a lawyer, you gotta get an education.
141
But it ain't got nothing to do with your education.
142
Nothing.
143
You could be very successful without education.
144
Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates don't have a degree between them.
145
But they got more degrees working for them than a thermometer.
146
Everybody I hire has a degree.
147
Everybody I hire, cause I ain't got one.
148
So I hire people that are smarter than me, count better than me, you know, no better than me.
149
You got a degree, that's what you wanna do?
150
Cool, I got a job for you.
151
But your visions don't require education.
152
Not at all.
153
It's your faith, man.
154
It ain't nothing bigger than your faith.
155
Nothing is bigger than your faith and your dream.
156
It ain't your education.
157
The Bible never mentions education.
158
It is your dream.
159
The Bible says a man without a dream or vision shall perish.
160
Say nothing about your education.
161
Now you can get education, but it ain't necessary.
162
Unless you wanna be something that requires, you're an engineer, you gotta get a degree.
163
You wanna fly a plane, you gotta go get a degree.
164
You wanna be a doctor, you gotta go get a degree.
165
I'm not saying you don't need a degree.
166
But if you ain't in them fields right there, and you ain't gonna, if you're not a college person, what you gonna do?
167
You can't win?
168
Because I just ain't a college person, so I can't win?
169
Come on.
170
You gotta be kidding.
171
LeBron ain't got no degree, but he had a different skill set.
172
I don't have a degree.
173
Dave Chappelle ain't got no damn degree.
174
Like, if you talk to me, I don't know a lot of stuff, but I got good ass sense.
175
I know how to figure stuff out.
176
Just need a dream and a vision and some faith.
177
And somehow, like she said, you can be a Christian, you gotta have some faith, but you gotta be able to work, though.
178
Faith without works is dead.
179
Once you lock that in, you can win.
180
Everything else is on 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.
