29
and understand holy the stuff I have around me right now.
30
This is the that I dreamed of when I was a kid.
31
I am here.
32
I played for University of Miami.
33
Played great teams.
34
Warren Sapp, Ray Lewis, they were my teammates.
35
They were ballin'.
36
Warren Sapp was playing tight end that time.
37
I was starting defensive tackle.
38
Yeah.
39
They moved him over to D-line.
40
And he looked at me, he's like, yo, dude, I'm going to take your spot.
41
And I said, you ain't taking my spot.
42
He said, I'm going to take your spot.
43
I said, no, you ain't.
44
We battled, and he took my spot.
45
You can imagine how that with me, because there goes my opportunity.
46
He went in, switched to defensive tackle, lit the world on fire.
47
Well, what that did, it crushed me, and it crushed my dreams.
48
I had a piss poor senior year.
49
Zero production, no NFL, no combine invite, nothing.
50
Finally went to the CFL, Calgary Stampeders, making $250 a week Canadian.
51
Canadian.
52
I had to send that s**t home to my wife at that time.
53
Had no money.
54
So I remember that.
55
I got cut from Canada.
56
My dad in his pickup truck came down 4 o'clock in the morning, picked me up in Miami from Tampa.
57
We lived in a little apartment in Tampa.
58
He drove down in his little pickup truck to Miami to get me when I was cut from the CFL.
59
And I thought, well, I leave home like you guys left home.
60
I'm ready to tackle the world, to get after it, achieve my dreams and goals.
61
Crushed by 22, 23 years old.
62
Now I gotta move back in with my mom and dad.
63
I played on great teams though.
64
Wait a second, this is not supposed to be my future.
65
I'm supposed to be in the NFL right now.
66
I'm supposed to be making a lot of coin and buying my parents .
67
Buying me , taking care of my wife, but it never happened.
68
So I pulled out my wallet.
69
I thought, well, let me see how much money I have.
70
I opened it up.
71
I had a five, a one, and change.
72
Well, at least I rounded up to seven bucks.
73
But I thought, God, ain't this a bitch?
74
I got seven bucks in my pocket.
75
Where the do I go now?
76
What do I do?
77
I can't go back to CFL.
78
The point comes where you hear that voice, the big run's over.
79
I'm like, you're done.
80
Right, so I heard that voice.
81
So as Coach was saying, man, I hold onto that.
82
I'm telling you, I keep, my back is up against this mother.
83
We laugh, we joke, we have a good time, but my back is still up against this mother.
84
Do not forget it.
85
What this also helps me do, and again, it works for me, is at some point, you gotta be tired of not being number one.
86
You have to be, and you gotta play angry, and I play angry.
87
Now, I'm cool and calm with my approach, and when I step out on my field, which is a set, or,
88
you know, like, there's some, and you're always gonna have haters, and haters are like, well, god damn, man, How many movies are you going to make or how much shit are you going to do?
89
Like, you do a lot of shit.
90
I say, yes.
91
It's my ambition. Of course.
92
Why not?
93
I could do it.
94
Yeah.
95
I love what I do.
96
And not only that, but in what world do we not work every day?
97
My back is up against this thing, you know?
98
And I started to play angry, by the way.
99
And I still play angry.
100
My last match, Brock Lesnar, transitioned.
101
And I realized if I had to be great at something, I wanted to be great in this world of Hollywood and movie making and producing and entertainment, I had to commit.
102
And like, you guys have to commit.
103
Obviously, you commit to something, commit to the goal. So I quietly retired.
104
Two years later, I thought, what did I do with my career?
105
Because my movies were not doing well.
106
I was written off.
107
I was like, it was around 2006, 2007.
108
I was like, I left.
109
I pulled a Jim Brown.
110
I left when I was on top.
111
Like, number one in the wrestling business.
112
And I left.
113
It was a ballsy, gutsy, some call it stupid move But I had to commit and I had to follow it was in my gut
114
What helps me is to keep the hard times in the front of my mind
115
Because it allows me to go into these big moments
116
that I've worked my ass off
117
and you guys have worked your ass off It allows me to go into these big moments with a different perspective
118
What it also does for me and again this just this is what works for me like
119
My back is up against this mother
120
Every day It's against this wall
121
But it's up against this mother because it's what I believe in and when my back is against this month
122
Then there's nowhere to go
123
But that way That's it Doesn't mean you don't smile doesn't mean a laughing joke quote right happy.
124
I'm happy.
125
I'm a happy guy But when it comes to business and when it comes to executing, it's up against this.
126
And I got to go that way.
127
And I don't give a who is in front of me.
128
They're not going to stop me.
129
The key for me was, where does it start?
130
What's the anchor?
131
What's the anchor?
132
So I could have all these ambitions and you guys have all these ambitions, which is great.
133
It's important.
134
I'll play this role.
135
play that role.
136
I'll execute this thing and it'll come out this summer.
137
You guys will execute this thing during the summer, right?
138
When it's time to really put in a lot more work.
139
But the key with me is just always finding what the anchor is.
140
And the anchor is getting up at four o'clock in the morning every day before anybody else
141
and grounding my thought process is in the no one will outwork me.
142
No one.
143
I love and I respect you guys.
144
Motherf***er will not work me.
145
It all starts with this.
146
Two hands.
147
Putting it to work.
148
My last match in WWE, I'll share this with you guys too, is that, again, because there's a little bit of takeaway here from all this sh**, is I wrestled John Cena.
149
And I went in, I think it was 2013, I went in WWE Champion, And we went and met Life Stadium.
150
We had a record breaking attendance which was amazing that night.
151
We accomplished our goal.
152
So I wrestled with John Cena.
153
We had 45 minutes planned for the match.
154
It's non-stop, go.
155
Right?
156
So your conditioning is tested.
157
And at that time, I wasn't full time in WWE.
158
I was just doing these spot matches where I was still shooting G.I.
159
Joe, I think, or Pain and Gain at that time.
160
Oh no, it was Fast and Furious 6 in London.
161
Had to travel in the ring, get all my ring work in, travel back to shoot Fast and Furious, then back, WWE Raw, doing those shows.
162
The big build up to WrestleMania against John.
163
We get to MetLife Stadium, it's a big night, this is it.
164
It's game night, right?
165
It's championship night for me.
166
45 minute match planned out.
167
There's no cut, there's no, alright, let's pick it back up tomorrow.
168
You know, it's go time, it's just like you guys in a game.
169
I'm getting scared because I'm thinking, man, well what happens if I pinch something or something like, Like, you know, I don't know, your mind starts with you in the moment.
170
There's 85,000 people, your adrenaline's rushing.
171
I'm thinking, man, what happens if I'm going to lose my leg or some like this, if I've just done something to my artery?
172
Final move of the match is his big finishing move.
173
And I remember I'm getting up and I'm turning like this because I have to fall into him.
174
He's going to hit me with his big finisher.
175
I remember turning into John and he says, and I remember thinking to myself, God, please don't let this be too bad.
176
Just take care of me.
177
Take care of me.
178
Bang!
179
Comes in the back, I get to the back, I can't move.
180
Now I'm getting a little nervous.
181
Get on a jet, rushed home to my doctors down in Florida. And get an MRI.
182
Find out that I have completely torn my adductor, the top of my, my adductor and my top of my quad off my pelvis.
183
What I was proud of was to walk out on my own.
184
I got on my own, but not only that, but in this moment where the odds are against you, people are watching, your team's depending on you, you either say I'm done,
185
or this sh**, whatever the f**k is going on,
186
it's temporary, and it may f**k me up at some point down the road.
187
But I'm not going to let this opportunity go by without giving it my all.
188
As you guys know, there's nothing you can't accomplish.
189
You're gonna go on, you're gonna become world champions.
190
The key for me, what I think one of the keys is, remember where you came from, keep that shit in the front of your mind, and when shit goes bad and it goes sideways,
191
a lot of shit does, you're getting booed out of the building, or you're coming through this injury, or people are writing you off.
192
You guys ain't gonna make it, you know, any of that.
193
You gotta keep it in here.
194
And it really has to, it should drive you, it should.
195
It works for me.
196
It should drive you.
197
You get all the talent in the world.
198
It's all here.
199
Really the two things I want to say are you gotta be the hardest workers in the room
200
and don't the opportunity up.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
