Montrez moi vos amis et je vous montrerai votre futur.

Vous savez sur ma chaîne YouTube je parle beaucoup au sujet de la motivation, du succès, de vente, de l 'entrepreneuriat, de création de richesses.

And one of the things I repeat again and again is Don't train with the poor

And some people take it in the wrong way

Oh Dan, you said you were judging that the character of people is not the money they have

That's not that I said

Because people without money are only a form of poor

There are many forms of poor

And today I will share with you the 7 mentalities

Which maintain the most people in poverty I was a fauché I was a endetté I started with nothing at all.

I was not born with a cup of money in my mouth.

And I created all this in part of zero.

So I know what it is, not to have money.

So I'm going to talk about these 7 mentalities which hold the most people in the misery and poverty.

Tell me in the comments how many people of this genre know you?

How many people of this genre know you?

And what you're going to do to this point?

1. The poor of esprit.

You know people in your life who just walk and have a look vaincu?

People who ask, you know, why try?

They have lost the hope.

Maybe they already have been burned.

Maybe they already have been...

They always say, oh, it's impossible, it's impossible.

Hey, you know what, don't even try.

I've already tried, it doesn't work.

Just because they can't do anything, they will say, they will convince you that you can't do anything.

They are poor of spirit.

2. The poor in love.

You know, I believe that most of us don't love enough.

Now, I'm not talking about arrogance.

I'm talking about being arrogant.

I'm talking about love.

because in growing up, we don't have enough love for the most of us.

For the most of us, there is a guy that I know who has been through multiple ruptures,

until now he doesn't make any more trust in relationships, he doesn't make any more trust in relationships, because he doesn't want to be blessed.

But I believe that people blesses, blesses people.

And I can see on his face when I look at him, he doesn't smile, he doesn't smile, he doesn't live anymore.

Ok?

If you had the choice between having a million dollars, for the rest of your life you had a million dollars,

but in exchange, you could not have more intimate, you could not have more relationship with other people,

you could not have more love in exchange of a million dollars.

So you agree?

You don't know what to do

Because the love without love

Is very very little value

And how do you love?

You can't give something that you don't have

How could you give love if you don't love you?

3. There are people who are stupid

There are people who know they are stupid

There are people who are stupid but who think they are intelligent.

And there are people who are intelligent who make it happen to idiots.

You want to be the fourth type.

When I talk about sagesse, I don't talk only about knowledge.

Because knowledge doesn't equal knowledge.

I don't talk about the knowledge at school.

I don't talk about the academic intelligence.

I talk about it much more than that.

Because as an human being, if you talk about people who don't grow, They don't learn, they don't learn, they don't learn, they don't learn.

Every day when you talk about it, you see where I want to go.

Tell me what you think about it.

It's a deep deep.

They talk about the meteor, they talk about their problems, their work.

It's very insipid.

You don't want to do that.

The knowledge is very different from the knowledge.

The knowledge is to know what you can do.

The knowledge is to know when not to do it.

The knowledge is to know what you can do.

The sagesse is a recul daily.

4. They are poor, they are trying to get into their own.

They lack...

...intégrité.

They promise to do something and they don't do it.

It's the basic character.

Okay?

These people are people on whom you can't count.

You can't trust them.

You can't count on them.

They say they will be there for you but they never do it.

They have an infinite integrity, voire inexistent.

These are the poor character.

5. Les pauvres en habitude.

Ils sont feignants.

Ils procrastinent.

Ils valorisent le confort plutôt que la liberté et le succès.

Ils se droguent.

Ils fument.

Ils boivent.

Tenez -vous à l 'écart de ces gens.

Vous savez, vous êtes un produit de votre environnement.

Vous ne pouvez pas vous empêcher d 'être influencé par les gens autour de vous.

Les gens qui réussissent ont simplement de meilleures habitudes.

C 'est tout.

Alors restez à l 'écart de ces gens.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
