- What you put out is what comes back so if you say I'm going to be successful I'm going to be happy I'm going to enrich my life I'm going to have a top quality life (claps) This is how it works.
2
Your brain is divided into two halves.
3
Good, positive, negative, and evil.
4
Good and positive, negative and evil.
5
Your mind don't work on no other principle.
6
It's either right or wrong, good or bad, righteous or evil.
7
It don't operate no other way.
8
Skip anything else you've ever heard.
9
There are in each side of the brain millions of factory workers.
10
In charge of each one of these different sides is a foreman.
11
You have foreman positive.
12
You have foreman negative.
13
Those are the two people in charge.
14
This is how it works.
15
You wake up in the morning and you say, "Man, man this... I'm having a bad day.
16
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed." The foreman on the negative evil side of your brain steps to the forefront and says, "Excuse me, what did you say?" I said, "I'm having a bad day.
17
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed." That foreman turns around, has a megaphone, makes an announcement to the millions of factory workers on the left side of the brain, the negative and evil side, and he says, "Hey, Steve's having a bad day this morning.
18
He woke up on the wrong side of the bed." They go, "Right away, Sir." They turn around and start manufacturing thoughts to justify you having bad day today.
19
I will produce everything you need to go with what you said.
20
That's what you're thinking, that's what it is.
21
And then your mind just starts going, "Yeah. We got up, I missed my alarm, I set the snooze button and now I got to get out in this rush hour traffic.
22
I got to go down here and see these people I don't even care about today.
23
I don't feel like, man, my electric toothbrush it ain't even charged up." (laughing) "Ain't no more damn toothpaste in this tube.
24
I rolled it all up." It just starts rolling.
25
On the other hand, if you wake up every morning and you say, "Thank you. I sure appreciate you, Lord.
26
Thank you for waking me up.
27
Today I expect to have another great day." That foreman comes to the front and says, "Excuse me, what did you just say?" "I said that I'm having a great day.
28
I want to thank you and I'm looking forward and I expect to have a great day." He says, "Right away." He turns around and gets that megaphone and says, "All right guys, Steve's having a great day.
29
He's expecting some good things to happen today and he thinks it's going to be a really great day for him today.
30
Let's get to work." Them workers start producing.
31
"You know what, man, we got a job to go to.

36
Man, I got the ability to walk to the bus stop.
37
Man, I'm healthy." You know what I'm saying.
38
That's how it works.
39
It's not a magic trick.
40
The difference between successful people and the non-successful people is we wake up expecting great things to happen.
41
(applause) Now, listen, some bad things are gonna happen to you.
42
That's life.
43
Know that. The road to success is always under construction.
44
There ain't no easy way.

54

55
But (beep) I ain't gonna climb in the casket.
56
You know I was at the funeral crying, (beep) but you know, when they shut it down and rolled it out I let 'em go ahead.
57
I ain't... (laughing) I gotta go on with my life.
58
It happens.
59
Life is 10% of what happens to you.
60
It's 90% what you do about it.
61
Quit trippin' every time something negative happens.
62
It's the step to the next level.
63
You got to past tests.
64
You can't have a testimony without no test.
65
You can't tell nobody what you been through unless you been through something.
66
I can't stand here and tell you that this works unless I've seen it work.
67
Why don't you take your God-given gift, the thing that he gave all of you at birth, and start using it.
68
All of you have a gift that God gave you at birth.
69
The Bible says your gift will make room for you, and put you in the presence of great men.
70
Not your job, not your career choice, your gift.
71
I've been to the White House with President Obama probably eight times.

79
It ain't because I'm educated.
80
I don't have any.
81
But this God you're serve is listening to you.
82
All you gotta do is ask it.
83
You got to talk to God.
84
You got to tell him what you want.
85
You gotta believe that he's gonna give it to you.
86
You got to be willing to put the work in and you got to wait on it.
87
God will give you everything you ask for if you put the work in and you wait on it.
88
If I was you I would try to stop fooling yourself.
89
Talk to God in 2019.
90
Expect 2019 to be the greatest year of your life and God will give that to you.
91
He's gonna give it to me, watch.
92
I bet he'll do it for you.
93
Thank y'all.

Por que esse vídeo é ótimo para a prática de fala em inglês?

O vídeo "The Two Sides | Motivated +" é uma excelente ferramenta para quem quer melhorar a prática de conversação em inglês graças à sua linguagem coloquial, ritmo natural e mensagem motivacional. As frases são curtas, repletas de expressões cotidianas (como "woke up on the wrong side of the bed") e a entonação varia, o que ajuda a treinar a escuta e a imitação. Além disso, a estrutura narrativa clara torna o conteúdo fácil de seguir, ideal para exercícios de shadow speech.

Analisando frases naturais do vídeo

  • "What you put out is what comes back": Essa expressão idiomática é usada para dizer que nossas ações têm consequências. A estrutura "what you... is what you..." é comum em inglês falado, transmitindo clareza e impacto. Ao praticá-la, você aprende a usar frases concisas e memoráveis.
  • "The road to success is always under construction": Uma metáfora prática que compara o caminho para o sucesso a uma estrada em obras. A palavra "under construction" é usada cotidianamente, e a frase é fácil de imitar graças ao ritmo constante. Perceba a entonação no final, que deixa a mensagem mais impactante.
  • "It's gonna get funky for you in 2019": A contração "gonna" e a palavra "funky" (usada aqui para "difícil") mostram a linguagem informal do inglês. Essas expressões são essenciais para se comunicar de forma natural, e o vídeo as usa em um contexto que facilita a compreensão.

Rotina de prática com shadowing em inglês

Para treinar usando o vídeo, siga esse passo a passo: 1) Assista o trecho uma vez para entender o contexto. 2) Repita cada frase imediatamente após o falante, imitando a entonação, o ritmo e as pausas (técnica de shadow speak). 3) Grave sua voz e compare com o original: preste atenção a contrações (como "ain't", "don't") e a forma como as palavras são conectadas (ex: "I'm gonna" em vez de "I am going to"). 4) Faça isso por 5-10 minutos diários, focando em 2-3 frases por sessão. Essa rotina ajuda a melhorar a fluência, a pronúncia e a confiança na fala. Lembre: o shadowspeaks é sobre imitar não só as palavras, mas a emoção e a energia da fala!

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.
