1
You don't have to be born in a certain neighborhood.
2
You don't have to be born in a certain family.
3
You don't have to have a certain socioeconomic status.
4
It only takes one thing to get what you see other people have that you want.
5
And it's called effort.
6
Effort?
7
Nobody can judge effort.
8
Because effort is between you and you.
9
Effort ain't got nothing to do with nobody else.
10
Effort is isolated.
11
The reason why effort is isolated is because nobody can dictate it.
12
Effort is 100% in the mind.
13
No coach, no player, nobody else can make you run to the ball.
14
Nobody else can make you finish your tackle.
15
Nobody else can do it.
16
That's why it's the most isolated things on this earth right now.
17
It's effort.
18
There's so much in you that you have not unlocked.
19
That you walk around and be like, God, I feel like I'm missing something.
20
Yeah, because it's about 75% of you is still in there.
21
It's still chained up because you just didn't want to find your willpower.
22
Didn't want to find your soul, your will, your heart, your determination, your guts, your courage.
23
You find it in the suck and you find it repeatedly in the suck.
24
To the point where you know exactly who you are.
25
I hear it all the time.
26
Gagas has a great message, but you don't want to end up like him.
27
His body's all up.
28
You're not afraid of having a up body.
29
You're afraid of the effort.
30
See what you understand is this, we're all being tested and that road to success is a bumpy ass road.
31
It has potholes, nails, detours, a lot of you are gonna die with a nicely preserved body.
32
No plates, no bad knees, no bruises, no scars.
33
You also have an empty resume.
34
Don't be afraid to get scars.
35
The scars show your willingness to get to the other side.
36
They show your failures.
37
They show your willingness to start from scratch.
38
They show what you're willing to do to go the distance to see what you're capable of.
39
Kobe Bryant spent his entire life playing ball.
40
He spent all his money, all his time, all his energy, all his capital, all his effort, everything in mastering what other people never mastered.
41
You have to be unstoppable and be the top 1% in your industry
42
and put yourself in that bracket where you're
43
so good at what you do when you run into somebody you make them look like an amateur.
44
If you want to build something big you're going to have to catch on fire.
45
You're not going to be casual and build this big life.
46
You're going to have to get psycho.
47
You're going to have to become insane.
48
You're going to have to get crazy.
49
You're going to have to get obsessed if you want to build that lifestyle and that life.
50
You've got to quit negotiating the price you're paying.
51
Aren't you doing that all the time?
52
It's too much.
53
I cost this.
54
I'm losing this time.
55
I got this.
56
This sacrifice.
57
Everyone around you is telling the price is too big.
58
You have to stop negotiating the price.
59
That's what poor people do.
60
See, when I was poor and I'd walk in the store, everything was not what I wanted.
61
It was, what's it cost?
62
What's the price tag?
63
What's the price tag?
64
I was always flipping price tags over.
65
I could never get what I wanted because I was so consumed with what things cost.
66
If you keep consuming yourself with what it's costing you, the time, the effort, the energy, the pain, the money, you consume yourself with the cost, at some point you have to negotiate and say,
67
my will to win is not for sale.
68
I may not be the fastest, the smartest, but I'm not quitting.
69
That is a freaking thing.
70
A total commitment, people think, man, when you make a total commitment, you lose all freedom.
71
Completely backwards.
72
A total commitment to something is total and complete freedom.
73
Because now you just execute.
74
When you spend your time negotiating the price all the time, it's a diversion, it's a distractiveness, it's a poverty mindset.
75
Your will to win cannot be for sale.
76
And here's the truth.
77
Most people's will is for sale.
78
Eventually, they'll relent with enough failure, enough setbacks, enough hurt.
79
Eventually, they just go, nah, I surrender.
80
They don't say it that way.
81
They say it like, ah, it just wasn't for me, timing wasn't right, and they relent.
82
So they didn't have the guts to keep going.
83
And that is the difference between winners and losers.
84
Winners look at the results being produced.
85
Losers concern themselves with how much time they were spending.
86
They think that there's some sort of an award for talking about how tired they are and how exhausted they are.
87
Totally tired.
88
No sh- That's a prerequisite to success.
89
Every single thing that has ever been built, Every single thing that is worth mentioning in the history of Earth was built by people who were tired
90
Every single thing you're supposed to be tired.
91
Can you execute when you're tired?
92
That's the question that you need to be answering
93
90% of winning in life is being a good person
94
and having the skills to do it the last 10% is a dogfight That 10% at the top is a dogfight.
95
It's a slugfest.
96
It's inches.
97
It's millimeters to win.
98
It's attacking It's a strategy, it's the extra hour, it's the one more rep at the gym, the one more phone call.
99
You start fighting for those inches, you start getting addicted to those inches, those millimeters.
100
That's the separator.
101
And you stack up enough for those over time, you're gonna win.
102
There are things that come to workers that don't come to people who just wish.
103
I mean I have money, I mean I have connections but the one thing I do have is I have the ability to get up and work.
104
It wouldn't be fair if just anybody and everybody could just get a degree
105
and not have to work because guess what it would mean?
106
It would mean your degree is worth nothing.
107
If other people didn't have to work hard, didn't have to sweat, didn't have to stay up all night, didn't have to do research, didn't have to go to the library, didn't have to sacrifice sleep, didn't have to make sacrifices in life,
108
if everybody just threw out degrees, They wouldn't be worth anything.
109
And there are people who say, I want to do what you do, and I say, you don't.
110
You want what I have, but you don't want to do what I do.
111
You just think you don't go through nothing, you go straight to the top?
112
Patiently endure.
113
Your problem is you don't know how to patiently endure.
114
You want the reward that comes with being patient, but you ain't patient.
115
No will, no reward.
116
I had to fight for this.
117
I had to wake up at three o'clock in the morning for this.
118
I had to get multiple degrees for this.
119
I had to go through stuff in my personal life for this.
120
Guess what?
121
I was willing to pay the price.
122
Everything I've been through, it was worth it all.
123
So if you want the rewards, go do the work.
124
Ain't nobody gonna hand you nothing.
125
Ain't nobody gonna hand you no championship.
126
Ain't nobody gonna hand you no title.
127
It's your dream.
128
If you want it to happen, get your butt up and make it happen.
129
If you want it to happen, rise and grind.
130
You've been given the freedom of choice and you can choose.
131
If you want something that you've never had before, you have to do something that you've never done before.
132
If you're going to be successful, if you're going to make it happen.
133
If you really want the reward, put in the work.
134
Put in the reps.
135
It might take 10 reps, 20 reps, 100 reps.
136
It might take a thousand.
137
It may take 10 thousand. Who cares?
138
Just put in the rep, put in the rep, put in the rep, and keep putting in the reps.
139
And after you keep putting in the reps, put in some more reps.
140
Then give me another rep.
141
Give me a rep, give me a rep, give me a rep.
142
If you put in the reps, and you put in the reps in the right way, and you put in enough reps, and you make the sacrifices, you will wake up one day,
143
and that rep will turn into a reward.
144
I don't care what's going on around you, what kind of day it is, if it's raining, if it's sunny,
145
if it's snow, because it's not what happens around you that determines your success.
146
It's what happens inside you.
147
Don't cry about it.
148
Don't give up.
149
Don't trim.
150
Just make the adjustment.
151
You can't control the elements.
152
You're spending so much time on what you can't control that you ain't got time for the stuff that you can't control.
153
What you can control is putting your gym shoes on and going for a run.
154
What you can control is what you get from the grocery store.
155
What you can control is what time you go to bed.
156
What you can control is what time you wake up.
157
What you can control is what you watch on TV.
158
What you can control is how you use your schedule.
159
What you can't control, you can't control and that's what I want you to focus on.
160
And there are those of you who because of what you've been through, you are quitting, you are giving up, you are surrendering.
161
E, I had a meltdown in class.
162
I said you might have a couple more before success.
163
It's a part of the game.
164
You can't be successful without some meltdowns.
165
Struggle for another year and a half and be free for the rest of your life.
166
Or you can say, I'm tired of struggling and stop struggling and struggle for the next 20, 30 years.
167
Don't you run from your calling.
168
Don't you run from your kiff.
169
Don't you run from the struggle.
170
That struggle is meant to make you strong.
171
Every single day you wake up, I press toward the mark.
172
Every day when you wake up, you strive for that.
173
I don't care what today looks like.
174
Don't be talking about what didn't work yesterday or the day before.
175
I don't care about that.
176
I forget those things which are behind.
177
And I press.
178
I press.
179
Press past it.
180
Come on.
181
Press past it.
182
Stop whining and crying and give it up.
183
Press past it!
184
It's going to hurt!
185
Yes!
186
Ask any mother that's had a child.
187
Kids probably feel like they're gonna die.
188
But guess what?
189
They get through it.
190
And on the other side, when that child comes out, they forget all about the pain.

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.
