Aloha!
Welcome again to this untypical English podcast, Your Way!
Sé porque estás aquí. Quieres aprender inglés online, right? Well, in this podcast we use English to help you do much more than learning English, we help you live your own way, your own story!
Here I am, in the Scottish Highlands…menudo viaje hicimos Esmeralda y yo, increíble. Recuerdo perfectamente este momento, la foto junto a las montañas “Three Sisters” del valle Glen Coe en los highlands escoceses. Every time I look at this picture I feel awesome, great, highly motivated, full of energy and life. Siempre que miro esta foto me siento increíble. Me sentía vivo, presente, lleno de ganas de hacer cosas y vivir aventuras.
Es curioso cómo funciona la motivación, ¿verdad? ¿Te has sentido alguna vez así?
That’s the topic of today’s episode in Your Way. Mónica Stocker and I speak about what motivates us, how to achieve things, know what you want and much more. Hoy, Mónica y yo hablamos de motivación, de conocerse a uno mismo y mucho más.
