1
I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people,
2
and I had a brilliant boss I much admired.
3
I went to my boss and told him I was going to start a company selling books on the internet.
4
He took me on a long walk in Central Park,
5
listened carefully to me, and finally said,
6
That sounds like a really good idea,
7
but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn't already have a good job.
8
You can have a job,
9
or you can have a career,
10
or you can have a calling.
11
And if you can somehow figure out how to have a calling,
12
you have hit the jackpot,
13
because that's the big deal.
14
I met Jeff Bezos 25 years ago,
15
and he told me, Dave,
16
I want you to invest in my company.
17
What are you doing?
18
a bookstore in my garage.
19
Okay, I'm going to put it online.
20
People buy online and I'm going to ship out of my garage.
21
But if you invest in me,
22
Dave, someday I'm going to be the richest man in the world.
23
I'll do over $100 billion.
24
First of all, there's no such thing as $100 billion 25 years ago.
25
Statistically, there's no such thing.
26
Countries didn't have our national debt wasn't $100 billion.
27
And this dude's telling me,
28
at 26 years old,
29
that he's going to be the richest man in the world because he has a garage and the internet? That was his truth.
30
No, but he did not know it, and neither did I.
31
But the difference between him and I is I was laughing,
32
scoffing, and jesting at him,
33
and he was already applauding himself,
34
going, at the right way,
35
at the perfect time, I'm going to make as much as I can as quickly,
36
and I'm sitting there going,
37
there's no way this is going to be a big business.
38
Do something you're very passionate about.
39
And don't try to chase what is kind of the hot passion of the day.
40
Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice.
41
But ultimately, I decided I had to give it a shot.
42
I didn't think I'd regret trying and failing.
43
And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.
44
After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion,
45
and I'm proud of that choice.
46
As a young boy, I had been a garage inventor.
47
I'd invented an automatic gate-closer out of cement-filled tires,
48
a solar cooker that didn't work very well out of an umbrella in aluminum foil,
49
baking pan alarms to entrap my siblings.
50
I'd always wanted to be an inventor and she wanted me to follow my passion.
51
There's a military phrase that I especially love and it says,
52
slow is smooth and smooth is fast.
53
And I have seen that in every endeavor I've ever been in.
54
That's the kind of thing that really allows you to make progress.
55
You know, you get certain gifts in life and you to take advantage of those.
56
But you, I guess my advice on adversity and success would be to be proud not of your gifts,
57
but of your hard work and your choices.
58
So you know, you may be,
59
the kinds of gifts you get,
60
you know, you might be really good at math,
61
might be really easy for you.
62
That's a kind of gift.
63
But practicing that math and taking it to the next step
64
that could be very challenging and hard and take a lot of sweat.
65
That's a choice.
66
You can't really be proud of your gifts because they were given to you.
67
You can be grateful for them and thankful for them,
68
but your choices, you choose to work hard,
69
you choose to do hard things.
70
Those are choices that you can be proud of.
71
You can choose.
72
We all get to choose our life stories and it's the choices that define us,
73
not our gifts.
74
Everybody in this room has many gifts.
75
I have many gifts.
76
You can never be proud of your gifts because they're gifts.
77
They were given to you.
78
You might be tall or you might be really good at math,
79
or you might be extremely beautiful or handsome,
80
or you know, there are many gifts,
81
and you can only be proud really of your choices,
82
because those are the things that you are acting on.
83
And one of the most important choices that each of us has,
84
and you know this just as well as I do,
85
is you can choose a life of ease and comfort,
86
or you can choose a life of service and adventure.
87
And when you're 80, which one of those things do you think you're going to be more proud of?
88
You're going to be more proud of having chosen a life of service and adventure.
89
There's never been a better time to be alive.
90
I mean, it's just incredible the amount of inspiration
91
that the world generates for me and I think for a lot of people.
92
It's just insane the amount of change and invention and opportunity.
93
Your life, the life you author from scratch on your own, begins.
94
How will you use your gifts?
95
What choices will you make?
96
Will inertia be your guide or will you follow your passions?
97
Will you follow dogma or will you be original?
98
Will you choose a life of ease or a life of service and adventure?
99
Will you wilt under criticism or will you follow your convictions?
100
Will you bluff it out when you're wrong or will you apologize?
101
Will you guard your heart against rejection or will you act when you fall in love?
102
Will you play it safe or will you be a little bit swashbuckling?
103
When it's tough, will you give up or will you be relentless?
104
Will you be a cynic or will you be a builder?
105
Will you be clever at the expense of others?
106
Or will you be kind?
107
Every time you figure out some way of providing tools and services that empower other people to deploy their creativity,
108
you're really on to something.
109
You know, you're very lucky if you have a career.
110
A lot of people end up with a job.
111
If you don't love your work,
112
you're never going to be great at it.
113
Jules Verne, Mark Twain, Galileo,
114
Newton, all the curious from the ages would have wanted I wanted to be alive,
115
most of all, right now.
116
As a civilization, we will have so many gifts,
117
just as you as individuals have so many individual gifts as you sit before me.
118
How will you use these gifts?
119
And will you take pride in your gifts or pride in your choices?

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
