1
Raise your hand if you think you have a fantastic memory.
2
Okay, I can see a couple of hands raising, so let me make it easy for you.
3
I'm going to ask you an easy question.
4
Raise your hands if you think you have a bad memory.
5
ah a lot more hands going up right now and what about the rest of you did not raise the hands
6
You forgot to raise your hand.
7
Well, here's the good news.
8
It really doesn't matter whether you think you have a good memory or not.
9
because it's a fact that you can train your brain to remember better,
10
to learn faster, and to achieve mastery in anything you want in your life.
11
And I'd like to show you something really interesting here, which actually demonstrates to you what you can do if you train your brain.
12
Now, I would request to any five of you, any five people, can I volunteer to please come here and write something on the flip chart.
13
Okay, I promise you, you don't have to remember anything.
14
So that's a good thing, yeah?
15
Okay, so we've got one more person, one more person. So come on.
16
Just one more person, I want one more person to come up.
17
Yes sir, please come.
18
Okay, anyone?
19
All right, so we've got five.
20
A big round of applause for all of them here.
21
Thank you very much for volunteering.
22
Okay. So, um...
23
This is what's going to happen.
24
So I think you can start the nearest to the flip chart.
25
So all you need to do is-- I'll just open it for you.
26
Yeah.
27
All you need to do is to write a six -digit number on this flip chart, write it a little big, so everyone in the audience can see.
28
So one line, a six digit number.
29
And after you've done this, please pass the marker to the next person.
30
You write the six digits, six digits, six digits, and sir, is it okay if you stay back after you've written on your digit?
31
Because I need a little bit more help from you.
32
Okay, good?
33
Okay, perfect.
34
So I am going to go behind the flip chart.
35
because I'm not going to look at these numbers for the next few minutes.
36
Thank you.
37
Thank you.
38
Thank you.
39
Thank you.
40
Thank you.
41
Thank you.
42
Thank you.
43
All good so far?
44
Okay, good. So...
45
No, you also need to write a six digits, a random number.
46
Thank you.
47
Thank you.
48
Thank you.
49
Thank you.
50
Alright, so if everything went well, you should be having a 30 digit number on the flip chart, is that correct?
51
Okay, big round of applause for everyone.
52
Thank you very much and please have a seat.
53
Have a seat.
54
Except you.
55
Can I know your name please?
56
Angelo.
57
So Angelo is here.
58
Big round of applause for Angelo because he's going to help people with more things.
59
Okay, now what's going to happen is I'm going to stand behind the flip chart, and Angelo if you don't mind, Can you please call these numbers to me out loud one by one?
60
Yes, sir, go ahead.
61
Right?
62
- Seven.
63

122
We're going to give an applause for Angelo here.
123
Perfect.
124
Thank you.
125
All right.
126
So, of course, you're expecting me to do something, which is true.
127
So, what's going to happen is I'll try to recall these numbers from my memory and let's see how it goes.
128
The numbers are 7 7 1 7...
129
Okay, I messed up.
130
Let's start again.
131
So it's 7 7 7 1 2 0 4 8 6
132
7 3 2 0 3 0 7 7 3 1 9 8 2 2 5.
133
Okay, wait, it's 8 2.
134
After That should be, it's 9,
135
5, 1, 6, 2, 5, 3, 4.
136
Thank you.
137
Okay, so...
138
What's the time right now?
139
So, what's the time right now?
140
8 :45.
141
8 :45.
142
Sometimes 8 :45 is not the right time for me.
143
I miss one or two digits.
144
Alright, so what you've seen is a demonstration of what anyone can do.
145
Now, that's just a 30 -digit number.
146
We'll come back.
147
Now, some of you are wondering how I memorized these numbers.
148
I'll come back to you and explain to you how I did it.
149
Now, one of my records is, I memorized a number consisting of 1 ,944 digits.
150
It looks something like that.
151
I memorized a deck of playing cards in less than two minutes.
152
I also memorized a deck of seven decks of playing cards in 60 minutes.
153
So for those of you who are thinking of taking me to the casino, I'm available.
154
We can talk about the negotiation later on.
155
And also I became a Grand Master of Memory many years ago, and also broke a Guinness record in memorizing the longest sequence of colors.
156
Now, it is true that I broke a Guinness record in memory.
157
It's also true that many years ago, I used to hold a world record in forgetting.
158
It's not official, if you ask my mom and dad, they'll tell you.
159
I had a lousy memory.
160
In fact, I still remember one of those days when I was 15 years old, my mom asked me to buy something from the shop.
161
I got onto my bicycle, went to the shop, parked my bicycle, went into the shop, and as I was going into the shop, I totally forgot I went there on a bicycle.
162
walked out of the shop and started walking back home.
163
And the most embarrassing thing was, I realized I left my bicycle only the next day.
164
Now for those of you wondering what happened to the bicycle?
165
Well you guessed it, I lost it.
166
So I had a lousy memory.
167
I went from a person with a lousy memory to breaking a Guinness record.
168
And the good news is anyone can train their memory, anyone can become a fast learner.
169
Because today, I'm going to show you my formula of how you can learn anything
170
and master anything in a fun, easy manner.
171
I'm gonna show you some pictures on the screen, and these are some famous people.
172
So, who is this?
173
Thank you.
174
Who's that?
175
Thank you very much.
176
And who's this?
177
And then who's this?
178
Let's have a quick interaction here.
179
Can you please find a partner?
180
The person sitting next to you by default becomes your partner.
181
Groups of two to three is fine.
182
I'll give you 10 seconds and your exercise is very simple.
183
Can you please turn to your partner and tell him or her What is common among all these people?
184
Your 10 seconds starts now.
185
Go ahead.
186
Thank you.
187
Okay, thank you very much.
188
That's about 10 seconds time.
189
Thank you very much.
190
Can I have some answers please?
191
Shout out loud.
192
What is common?
193
Billionaires.
194
Thank you.
195
What is it?
196
- Rich.
197
- Rich.
198
Of course, the rich, the billionaires, whatever else, come on.
199
- Americans.
200
- Americans, aren't they?
201
"Oh, so next time I should chain that.
202
Thanks for pointing it at it.
203
Next." - Thank you.
204
Celebrities, what else?
205
Inspirational.
206
Inspirational, that's true.
207
Now, can I also say that all these people are masters at their game.
208
Do you agree with that?
209
Well, they're masters at their games.
210
So you know, when I was a teenager growing up, when I used to read or hear about successful people and their extraordinary achievements,
211
I always used to be fascinated by their stories, and I always used to wonder, you know, what is it that makes these people very, very successful?
212
Now I'm talking about way back 1990s, and those days there was no internet.
213
And if you want to do research in 1990, what do you do?
214
- The library.
215
- You go to the library, that's exactly what I did.
216
I went to the library, I fell in love with reading books, and I used to read hours and hours, and finally, when I started reading, A lot of these books,
217
I found out the secret of success.
218
Like most of you say, I mean, they're all rich and billionaires, but then most of the common things like, you know, they're passionate, All these successful people, they are passionate, they have clear goals, they have a good purpose,
219
they are hardworking, they are committed, they are confident.
220
But one thing that many people miss out, is they all have committed to lifelong learning.
221
You name any person who has achieved extraordinary levels of success, I can tell you that that person has committed to lifelong learning.
222
They keep on learning new things on a regular basis.
223
Like Oliver Wendelholme said a long time ago, "A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions."
224
And that is the reason I say that your learning ability decides your earning capacity.
225
And that's also the reason why if you learn faster, you will stand out from everyone else.
226
If you learn faster, you can go from underpaid to overpaid.
227
And if you learn faster, you can have an unfair advantage over others.
228
So the question is, how do you learn?
229
So it all starts with input.
230
And what I mean by input?
231
Now most people, they just focus way too much on input.
232
What I mean by input is they go to seminars, they read books, they watch videos, they listen to podcasts, they follow blogs, it's input, input, input, input, and more input.
233
Well, there's nothing wrong with learning.
234
The problem is, if you have too much of input with no output, what happens is you have shallow learning.
235
That's not good.
236
What we want...
237
is not shallow learning.
238
For example, how many of you had this experience where, you know, some of your friends come to you and say, "Hey, read this book !" And then you go, "Yeah, what did you learn from this book?" And then they go,
239
"Uh, it's a good book.
240
It's a good book.
241
It's a very good book, you know?" And then you go, "Okay, I understand what it's saying, but what's the takeaway from this book for you?" And they say,
242
I tell you, you must read this book.
243
Well, what is the point of learning something if you can't implement it and benefit from this?
244
That is pure intellectual entertainment, nothing else.
245
We don't want shallow learning, we want deep learning.
246
And how do you do that?
247
We do it.
248
It's very simple.
249
For true mastery, you need to focus more on the output rather than the input.
250
You need to focus more on the output rather than the input.
251
So raise your hand if you've heard this thing before.
252
Yeah, thank you very much.
253
So use it or do it.
254
This is so true with learning.
255
When you learn something, if you don't use it, if you don't output it, You lose it.
256
So that's the reason why we should become more of an output person than input.
257
And here's my formula of how you can be a master at anything.
258
The first thing is of course, learn, which is what you already are doing.
259
Now the interesting thing is, When you are learning, you must ensure that the quality of input is really, really high.
260
You must be paying 100 % attention.
261
But the problem is when people are learning these days, what do they do?
262
They do multitasking. Because of what?
263
Because of the devices that you're actually holding right now, because of the phones that we have, people do multitasking.
264
Just imagine, when you're reading a book, when you're watching a video, you have your phone nearby.
265
And while you're reading, while you're learning, while you're understanding, and the phone message goes off, the notification goes off, what do you do?
266
Of course you attend to it.
267
When you attend to it, what happened?
268
What you just did?
269
You killed your momentum.
270
You messed up with the quality of input.
271
Now here's the thing, your quality of input determines the quality of retention.
272
how well and how long can you remember information.
273
It also affects the quality of recall.
274
That's the reason why my suggestion is, if you are learning something, at least for the time you're learning, you should be doing not multitasking, but the exact opposite of it, which is...
275
Single task.
276
Do one thing at one time, especially when it comes to learning.
277
Stay away from distractions.
278
Pay 100 % attention and then you'll be well on your way to mastery.
279
That's the first thing.
280
The second thing is, of course, is reflect.
281
Now many people are in the rush to learn new things, which is good, but the problem is you also need to do reflect.
282
What do you mean by that?
283
After you learn something, pause for a while and ask yourself, hey, what's the takeaway from this thing?
284
Thank you.
285
And how can I use this information in my life?
286
How can I use this information in my work, in my family?
287
When you pause, when you reflect, when you ask these questions, that's how learning solidifies.
288
Otherwise, it's all just wasted.
289
And after reflect, the next step is implement.
290
And this is where the magic happens.
291
And unfortunately, many people miss out on this thing.
292
What they do is they go on learning new things, they get excited, and they feel good, they feel inspired, and they go on to learn something new.
293
You just messed up.
294
Now the problem is, if you get into the habit of just learning without implementation, you know what you get?
295
You get illusion of competence.
296
You feel you've learnt it.
297
You feel you're competent.
298
But it's not competence at all because you haven't implemented it.
299
So my suggestion is, when you are learning something, stop, write down what are the few things I can take action on,
300
schedule it in the calendar and take some action because this is what one of my mentors told me, Nishant, allow the action.
301
is better than no action.
302
Do you agree with that?
303
Thank you very much.
304
And of course the last step is share.
305
Raise your hand if you heard this thing before.
306
The best way to learn something is to teach it.
307
Thank you, you all heard that, and that is so true.
308
When you learn something, just output it, just share it with other people.
309
Now if you don't know, if you don't want to teach, you could just share it, you could just discuss it, but what happens is when you share things with other people, What you're doing is you're helping your brain to pay more attention.
310
and then you will be on your path to mastery.
311
So I have not seen anyone who became a master at something just by doing the input.
312
They all became masters by doing the input and more of the output.
313
So I have a question for you.
314
When you are learning something new, how much time do you spend on learning?
315
and how much time do you spend on reflecting, on implementing, and on sharing?
316
And if you're not spending more time in input, in output, that's not a good thing.
317
Now coming back to the numbers I memorized, I know you're wondering how I memorize these numbers.
318
Now for that I have a simple system, it's called visualization and association.
319
Now how many of you believe that the brain remembers pictures better, yes?
320
That's the reason why we always say, "I've seen you somewhere, sorry, what's your name?" Do you ever say,
321
"I know your name, what's your face?" Doesn't happen, because that's the way the human brain works.
322
So what I do is I have pre -assigned visuals for every two digit number.
323
So as Angelo was calling these numbers to me, so what I did was I tried to,
324
you know, convert those into the visuals that I already have and I used association to link them up together.
325
Now if you're wondering, Nishant, how do you do so fast?
326
That is where implementation comes.
327
When you practice, when you implement it, that's how you become a true master.
328
In fact, when I do these workshops, people can do this at the end of one day or two days.
329
It's not that easy if you know the right technique.
330
Now, coming back to this thing.
331
Oops.
332
I have a simple solution for you before I close, and this is this.
333
If you're spending X amount of time on input, my solution is at least spend 2x amount of time on output.
334
And when you do that, you are well on your way to be a master at achieving anything you want.
335
Now because I messed up a couple of digits, I want to challenge myself.
336
I got inspired after Manoj's speech.
337
I'm gonna challenge myself and turn out my fear and face my fear.
338
And what I'm gonna do is, just take one more minute.
339
I'll try to recall this one more time after speaking for 20 minutes.
340
OK.
341
No. If this doesn't go well, just cut this out from the YouTube.
342
Okay, that's good.
343
Okay, good.
344
So, that's true.
345
So, let me see if you can recall these numbers. in the backwards sequence.
346
Challenging myself. Who knows?
347
four, three, five, 2, 6,
348
1, 5, 9, 2, eight, nine, One, three, Seven.
349
Seven.
350
Zero.
351
Not yet.
352
Thank you.
353
Three.
354
Zero.
355
Two.
356
three, seven, six, eight, full um It's 0.
357
to 1 7 7 7.
358
Thank you very much.

Primeiras impressões: Por que esse vídeo é ótimo para praticar fala em inglês

O vídeo "Mastery: How to Learn Anything Fast" de Nishant Kasibhatla é um material excepcional para quem quer aprender inglês com YouTube e melhorar sua fluência. A conversa é natural, com ritmo acessível e uma estrutura que mistura interação com o público e explicação clara, o que a torna perfeita para exercícios de shadowing em inglês. Além disso, as frases usadas são coloquiais, refletindo como o inglês é falado no cotidiano, o que ajuda a treinar a escuta e a pronúncia de forma realista.

Analisando a linguagem: Frases naturais e como elas funcionam

Vamos quebrar algumas frases do diálogo para entender por que elas soam autênticas:

  • "Raise your hand if you think you have a fantastic memory." A estrutura "raise your hand if..." é muito usada em situações interativas, como palestras ou aulas. A palavra "fantastic" é coloquial e substitui termos mais formais, tornando a frase mais próxima do que se fala no dia a dia.
  • "Well, here's the good news." O "well" serve como um preâmbulo, suavizando a transição para uma informação positiva. Essa expressão é essencial para sons naturais, pois evita frases abruptas.
  • "I promise you, you don't have to remember anything." A repetição de "you" cria conexão com o ouvinte, e a frase "don't have to" é mais informal do que "don't need to", refletindo a linguagem falada cotidianamente.

Rota de prática: Como usar o shadowing para melhorar a pronúncia

Um exercício eficaz para treinar com esse vídeo é o shadow speak (também conhecido como shadowspeaks), uma técnica comprovada para aprimorar a pronúncia e a fluência. Siga esses passos:

  1. Assista um trecho curto (30 segundos) do vídeo e preste atenção à entonação e ao ritmo.
  2. Repita o trecho imediatamente após, tentando imitar exatamente o som, a velocidade e as pausas. Use um gravador para registrar sua voz.
  3. Compare sua gravação com o original: observe se você acentuou as palavras corretas e se a entonação está similar.
  4. Repita o processo até que a sua fala fique o mais próxima possível do modelo.

Essa rotina de repetição ajuda a treinar o cérebro a associar sons e movimentos da boca, melhorando não só a pronúncia, mas também a confiança ao falar inglês. Lembre-se: o shadowing em inglês é uma prática diária, e com consistência, os resultados aparecem rapidamente.

Gramática neste vídeo

As estruturas que o falante mais usa, com as palavras exatas do vídeo:

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.
