Prática de Shadowing: why audacity is always better than potential - Aprenda a falar inglês com vídeo

okay um hi guys welcome back to my channel sorry I haven't been posting

but there is something that I really want to talk about today and like always I make these videos for myself

but at the same time also for you guys, but mainly for myself because this is something that I want to look back on and, I don't know, to watch when I'm feeling a little...

unmotivated but this is just something that um I feel like I knew this, like I knew what it meant, this phrase, but I didn't,

it wasn't, I wasn't practicing it.

And so something that I want to tell you guys as well is the fact that...

Society rewards audacity.

They don't reward potential.

Okay, so I'm sure that a lot of us like when you see things

you're like oh this person's like not even that great at something that i want to do

or i can do this so much better But that's like the biggest difference of them all.

the biggest difference is that they had the audacity to do it.

Okay, that's like the only difference between you and that person that you're you know looking at

And the fact is that they started, you can always be saying I can do so much

but I can do so much about it and truth is yes maybe you can do it so much better, but when you do not do something,

there's nothing there there's just nothing and I think it's very important for us to accept the fact that

you can do things bad and i think that

when we are constantly chasing after perfection you know like this has to be perfect this has to be perfect

i think that's a really bad mindset because

I don't think like you try to aim for perfection or to aim

to do things the best of the best is bad but a lot of times when you're thinking like that It's.

- You don't really act because you're worried.

You're like what if this is not perfect?

What if this is not perfect?

But you need to understand that with every single thing there is a day one, okay?

Every single thing that you want to do there has to be a day one.

If there's no day one, you're never.. how does the things even progress, you know?

And you need to know that

you'll have a draft one your draft 100 will be a lot better

and the thing is that you cannot compare against time okay

when you compare yourself to certain people you have to know that maybe they have One year of experience, five years of experience, a decade worth of experience.

two decades worth of experience, you cannot compare yourself to that, right?

But the amazing thing is the fact that you have a lot of resources, okay?

You have all sorts of resources that you need.

Because the thing is that let's say that you want to become, you want to engineer a certain app.

You want to engineer, I don't know, like a food delivery app, okay?

It's amazing because you see all sorts of apps, food delivery apps.

Everywhere right and the things that you can learn from that you can be like oh, this is what they did really well This is what they

need to improve on This is what they did really well

and this is something that they can improve on you have

so many resources and everything that's public you can learn from their mistakes and you can see what they are good at, and you can apply that to yourself as well.

You know, because the thing is that you know, i feel like Um...

I feel like sometimes

when you want to do something you might be like well I can't do it as good as XYZ, I can't do it as good as you know someone else and the thing is that Ahhhh.

I remember the first time I heard someone said this to me, they were like, "well no one can be you" I didn't get what the fuck they meant,

I was like, "that doesn't really make sense" but it comes from a sense of confidence and confidence takes time to develop.

It's really hard to think that way when you're not very confident because you're like, "I don't bring anything to the table, like I don't understand" but

when you get more used to yourself and

when you get more comfortable in your abilities and also more confident in your abilities

that's when you're gonna be like okay like

I have what it takes like I it's like and the thing is that You can't take inspos from other things, right?

But you shouldn't try to aim to become them.

You shouldn't aim to become, and you become exactly like that person or exactly like that person.

You need to become a more...

realistic version of yourself and sometimes genuinely all you need to do is to have a vision

and fucking believe it okay that's all you have at the end of the day especially

if you're like trying to do something

that is extremely out of your comfort zone you're like okay this is like extremely you know, I don't know if I can do this, but if it's something that, if it makes you wake up and it makes you feel like,

good, like it makes me feel alive maybe that is the point, you know?

Because I think that if you are feeling very comfortable, like if you're not even feeling nervous or not feeling scared, okay.

That just means you're comfortable and you're perfectly capable, right?

But if you're feeling...

kind of uncomfortable and you feel a little scared, you feel a little worried, that just means that's like

you're in the perfect position because that just means

that you're not used to this this is something that's going to make you evolve, okay?

that just means that this is the right timing.

okay because if it was If it did make you comfortable, then maybe you're starting a little too late.

So if you're feeling uncomfortable, that just means that you're at the perfect place okay? that is Just something I also want to tell you guys.

- Yeah.

And especially as women um especially when society is constantly telling us to be small to just Mmm, don't take up too much space,

like don't dream big, like just fuck that, fuck that, fuck that, fuck that, fuck that.

Always dream bigger than yourself, okay?

Dream bigger than yourself.

If you have a dream, Take that vision and run with it.

Just run with that shit, okay?

Because like, you don't anything in life let me tell you As a 25 year old,

I've done a lot of things where people don't really believe in me and that made me feel shit.

It made me feel like, "hmm, yeah." But at the end of the day, I am living my life.

Why do I need other people to believe in me when at the end, if I live a good life, it's only benefiting me?

So honestly I don't really care if you are supporting me or not.

because at the end I'm gonna be the one benefiting from this.

Like of course if I'm not gonna succeed

in certain things then yeah but How the fuck can I not succeed when I'm a crazy ass bitch?

Sometimes it's like you genuinely just have to view yourself

as a not like i was gonna say like view yourself as a crazy ass bitch

but that's not what i want to say but genuinely like for me a lot of times like

Of course it crosses my mind, like, what if something doesn't work out?

What if that turns out for the worst?

You know, I'm sure we all think like that.

But you are not your thoughts, you know what I mean?

Like these days, as I mentioned in my vlogs, I say that nowadays, like when I have bad thoughts, I literally just scream.

Like I literally just like, I am not my thoughts.

Like literally, I'll just be dead silent.

Like I'll just be on the sofa and I'll just be scrolling, like doom scrolling.

Please don't doom scroll.

Doom scrolling is so bad, y 'all.

Like it's so bad.

I need to fix that.

- I would literally just scream in the middle.

100

I would just be like, I know my thoughts.

101

And you know what?

102

It fucking helps.

103

Sue me, it fucking helps.

104

I'm like, okay, like...

105

And it's true, right?

106

Sometimes when I think, oh, I doubt myself, I doubt that.

107

but you are not your thoughts, those are just some truth of thoughts

108

And we all know that truth is that when it really comes down to it, okay?

109

Because sometimes it's just so much worse in your head than it actually is.

110

Because if you truly want something and you really want it, that means it is achievable because when other people have it, how fucking

111

impossible can it be for you to have it too

112

if someone someone else already has it you know what i mean And the thing is that we, what if it, like if you think like, oh, what if I don't achieve it?

113

What if it doesn't work out?

114

it looks so bad, it looks so bad in your mind, but truth is that in reality, okay, knowing the crazy bitch you are, if it doesn't work out,

115

you're gonna make it work out.

116

Yeah, it's just that simple because it's like, how can it be bad when you're the one doing it.

117

You know?

118

You know?

119

It's like Sometimes I think we need to just really believe in our abilities because especially you know, like coming from someone like me,

120

like I I don't want to say I'm - I don't think I'm a perfectionist.

121

Like I think I've gotten to the point where like I'm - I'm okay with starting with something and it's shit.

122

Because there's always room to improve and as time goes on I tell myself like, Like you know, cause like the thing is that time is always passing, okay?

123

Five years from now, I'm gonna be 30.

124

It's either a movie 30 with...

125

You know, let's say.. let's say...

126

let's say...

127

let's say I wanna create...

128

what is it?

129

I wanna open a coffee shop, okay?

130

I'm 25 now, okay, this is an example.

131

I'm either gonna turn 30 with a coffee shop or without a coffee shop.

132

Either way I'm gonna be 30 and either way five years is gonna pass from now.

133

you make the decision, alright?

134

that's it and then when i think about things like that, and the thing is that a lot of people, okay a lot of people don't really know what the fuck they're doing.

135

Okay.

136

A lot of things like you see, like, like people who create things like you can see like they're at like the peak of their life.

137

You're like, Oh my God, like, - I don't know, like he's a certain - I mean, I don't know, what's a good example?

138

Like, oh my god, this is like a Michelin Guide restaurant, you know?

139

But truth is that they started somewhere.

140

They started somewhere in the goddamn fucking kitchen and Maybe they were just doing dishes.

141

They did not know what they were doing.

142

When they picked up the knife, they did not know what they were doing.

143

You know?

144

They did not know how to run a fucking restaurant.

145

They don't know how to...

146

I don't know.

147

Skin of fish.

148

I don't fucking know.

149

I But there's just there's But I took experience.

150

It might have taken a decade, it might have taken two decades, and now they're here.

151

Time is gonna pass no matter what.

152

And you need to believe that when time passes, you are going to improve with it, okay?

153

But the thing is that you need to drop your ego, and you need to accept that, you are gonna improve, okay?

154

You cannot - you can get as close as possible.

155

I'm not saying that it's impossible, but you can try to get - ask - let's say you want to be a famous chef, right?

156

You can try to get as close as you can to someone who is who has a decade worth of experience.

157

Your day one could maybe match up to a decade worth of experience compared to that famous chef, whatever.

158

But the thing is that they have a lot of resources that you do not.

159

And the thing is that you cannot beat yourself over it.

160

All you have at the end of the fucking day is a vision.

161

and trust me when I say this, when you have a vision, you are unstoppable, okay?

162

Because generally in life a vision is all you got, okay?

163

Especially if you're starting from day one, okay?

164

You have to believe, like literally believe in that vision, okay?

165

Nothing can sway you, okay?

166

And yes, there are going to be a lot of things that you're gonna be like, "Oh, well this sucks, that sucks, like, everything is working against me." but you do it tired,

167

you do it scared, and a lot of things, let me tell you guys, There's not going to be a right moment, okay?

168

when you see, I don't know, like if you see like a rainbow, you're gonna be like, "Oh, that's my sign." No!

169

you made that your sign.

170

You know what I mean?

171

There's not gonna be a right moment for you to go for what you want, okay?

172

Because the thing is that your friend is not gonna give you a sign, your parents are not gonna give you a sign, your family members are not gonna give you a sign, it is literally you.

173

who's gonna give you a sign, okay?

174

It's literally gonna be maybe someday you just wake up in the middle of the night and be like, "Yeah, fuck it, I'm gonna do it." You're gonna do it scared.

175

And a lot of things in life, you do it scared.

176

A lot of things that's going to change your life, you don't do it comfortable.

177

You have to do it scared.

178

that's how you achieve something bigger than yourself, okay?

179

That's why a lot of people don't go for that because nobody likes to feel The feeling of fear.

180

And risk, there's a lot of risk involved, right?

181

and when you tell people, you know, it's like It may be from someone else's perspective.

182

They might be oh, yeah, that just makes sense for yourself, but you don't see that and Because you don't see yourself from an outside person's perspective, right?

183

but some other people might view you as a very capable person

184

and when you say that you want to achieve certain things they'll be like "oh yeah, you can totally do it" or they might not believe in you

185

but personally for me I think that haters are your biggest believers.

186

There's a reason why they hate on you because they see the untapped potential that you have, okay?

187

So I'm just saying. But um. So I think that

188

consistency is very important and you just have to really believe in yourself and Sometimes I feel like if you wake up,

189

If you wake up feeling like you don't have a purpose, you feel like shit.

190

I'm not saying that in life you have to have a purpose

191

but I generally do think that when you feel like you have a purpose and something that excites you,

192

it makes life Worth living like it makes it makes you like like literally it just makes everything look like rainbows,

193

you know things don't look so lifeless and colorless and when you have something that

194

you know when you're trying to evolve into a different version of yourself

195

Truly it makes you feel alive like truly it gets you going so

196

maybe take that as a sign like if you wake up

197

and you feel like oh this shit again like it was the same shit every single day

198

maybe that is your sign that you need to do something different.

199

Okay.

200

And doing that something different is going to take a lot and I'm not saying it's easy.

201

Okay.

202

I'm not saying it's easy because, um, Because once again, I say it so many times that I feel like I don't even need to say it anymore,

203

which is the fact that we all deal with the cards we're given, and there's no use sitting here and complaining about it because it doesn't change the cards that we have.

204

you know and yeah maybe sometimes you have to run twice as long to get to

205

to get to somewhere compared to another person.

206

It just depends on how badly you want it.

207

are you willing to do that? you know? and yeah, we can all sit here and complain and complain and complain but that's to me, I feel like that's a waste of time.

208

I don't like complaining about things because I'm like, it doesn't fix things.

209

Like yeah, shitty situation fucking sucks but gotta fucking go, time is ticking, we gotta fucking go, you know? So...

210

There's a lot of things in life that, you know, kind of sucks.

211

And it's also just like, I do just want to remind yourself.

212

everyone that people that you look up to, I think that's special on social media, people always put like the best parts of their life out, right?

213

There's a lot of things you do not see behind the camera, really, there's a lot of things you do not see coming from Content creator myself, you know and as much real is that they show you okay?

214

There's a lot of things that you do not see okay?

215

So don't put people on a pedestal don't be oh my gosh.

216

She has her life so fucking easy.

217

Yes, I It's almost as if they want you to think that.

218

Yeah, it's almost like they want you to see that, right?

219

so I think that when we humanize other people it's it it i personally think

220

that it validates me in a way like we're all kind of just in this together

221

you know it makes you feel like you're not as alone

222

because what you're struggling with they probably do too you know and i don't think that

223

like yes some people again i say this all the time some people have certain privileges right

224

but we also just have to realize that people have their own difficulties that you do not see. So... and

225

And I think that we all just need to allow ourselves

226

to have a day one okay you need to have a day one to progress okay

227

and when you do something don't let you being bad at something not stop you from doing something.

228

okay you need to realize that If you have a vision, That's your sign.

229

That's your go.

230

That's your green light, right?

231

But I think that um and trust me and you'll be like "I'm not fitted for this, I'm not fitted for that, I don't deserve to do..." No, babe.

232

No. If...

233

Have the audacity. Be shameless.

234

Be fucking shameless.

235

Have the audacity.

236

and don't care what people think.

237

Because at the end of the day, you're gonna be six feet under the ground, alone.

238

Who cares what people think?

239

Who cares what people think?

240

you know? like you're gonna die at the end okay? literally that's how i view everything Time is gonna pass, your body is gonna become frail,

241

frail, I can't even say the word, weaker and weaker.

242

Um, you're not gonna be as young as right now.

243

I don't wanna say this to stress you out, but that's just, I just wanna tell you the reality of time is that it's gonna be passing.

244

Okay, it's gonna be passing.

245

Okay.

246

and so take take this moment take this moment

247

and treat it as yours because at the end we're all dying like you know like you're put on this earth

248

you're gonna die.

249

Like, I don't mean to like, you know.

250

So make the most out of it.

251

Make the most out of it.

252

You make a mistake, you learn from it.

253

Especially for my girlies who are super young.

254

I'm not saying that when you're older, like, you know, like you can't start something new.

255

Yes, you can, but I assume that most of you guys are probably around like in their 20s, teens, whatever, 30s, like You're young fucking do it, just fucking do it, you know?

256

And it's like, yeah, people might make fun of you, people might talk shit about you, But like...

257

That's also just the whole process of this stupid thing, you know what I mean?

258

I personally believe that we're put on this earth to experience things and and every single time, even when you make a mistake,

259

I think that is a way to improve, because that's just you learning.

260

I think learning is a very valuable thing

261

and when you make a mistake that just means that you're gonna do it better okay?

262

A mistake is good okay?

263

A mistake is good because you know what not to do now.

264

And so you're only going to get closer to the right direction, right?

265

But a mistake is not good when you do not learn from it.

266

That's when it's really bad.

267

That's when it's going to you know, be negative towards you.

268

But if you can learn from it, that's better than not having a mistake at all because now you are just closer.

269

It, it, it, you know, they show you an X on a certain path and now you know you don't go through there.

270

Okay, because if you didn't have a mistake, then in the future you might make that mistake Okay, and I think it's much better to make the mistake earlier on than later on.

271

right so making a mistake is fine that's just part of the process

272

and you need to view things like this I think sometimes it's just a lot worse in our fucking head

273

than in reality, right?

274

you could - but of course you have to try to make the best decision every time, but um you know, but one second I always say this,

275

you're young Whatever whatever, you know, so this is why a lot of people they do things when they're like older,

276

you know, like they do crazy things like when they're in their 30s and 40s.

277

Because I think when you get to a certain age, like society deems it as like, oh, you're mature, you can do it.

278

But I think it's also because like they develop that sort of confidence in themselves, like, you know, like, that whatever they do, they need to deal with the consequences. But...

279

I think that it's not as common compared to when people are younger because

280

Um I think it's made because your brain is not fully developed.

281

Yeah.

282

But I just want to make this video for those of you guys who...

283

just want to do something new and the thing is that you do not own

284

You do not need to be stuck with a certain version of yourself.

285

You're allowed to constantly evolve into different versions of yourself, okay?

286

That is true freedom.

287

That is literally freedom in who you are.

288

You do not need to be...

289

a certain person forever, okay?

290

You can literally wake up tomorrow and be like, I'm gonna be this person.

291

Yeah, period.

292

Period. Who cares?

293

And people who judge you, okay?

294

maybe they're just not meant to be in your life, and yeah maybe some people need to take a bit of adjusting but

295

the true people who are going to be in your life are the ones

296

that will accept you and the thing is that when you need to just view things like you're filtering people out, okay?

297

so let's say you decide to be a certain different version of yourself and they don't want to be your friends, okay, that just means that they're not supposed to be your friends, and you're getting closer to the people who are supposed to be your friends, you know?

298

Anyways, I hope this video helped you guys, and if any of you guys are dealing with something like this, I really hope this.. helped but anyways i hope you guys enjoyed this video

299

and i'll see you guys all very very soon okay

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.
