As Norbert says, it might be stupid to set this steps for success if your goal is, to get rich.

But if your goal is to improve your English (which I believe is the goal for some people here), I am totally convinced: Not stupid “hate”-learning of vocabulary and grammatic, but listen to interesting stories and conversations like these in this podcast. So in fact I really forgot my goal to improve my English and to work hard for it in the moment I hear the so sweet voice of Lori — just for example
and even I overcame my hesitate to write in English (which I know is still not very skilled) not in order to improve it, but just to say “Thank you” (though with a lot more words as just this two)

I felt comfortable when I was trying to download the English conversation tape about How to get success, but I still could not get this source. Would you mind telling me how to get this source?

Hi Ms. Lori A million thanks to you and to all the people who became part of building this website; and to all of you who keep sharing your knowledge and efforts. Your so kind for providing this very helpful tool in learning english for free. I’m very thankful indeed coz I’ve learned a lot.

Keep up the good work and God bless you all! I promised you that whatever I learned from you guys, I will share it also to others. Again thank you very very much.

It is very important book about succes: “Think and grow rich” of Napoleon Hill. This book INDEED may help in your career. But one thing is very true: don’t give up! You are right Lori!

Thanks for the nice comments, everyone.
Miguel: 8 minutes is probably a good length for the conversations; the only problem is that our conversations are spontaneous, so we never know how long they will be. But we’ll keep your suggestion in mind in the future.

Norbert: I don’t think that passion and hard work can automatically lead to success for everyone on the planet. That would indeed be wishful thinking. Unfortunately though, I do know plenty of people who give up on their dreams before they’ve even tried because they place too much importance on “luck” or “connections” or other things that they can’t really control.

The only path to certain failure is to give up before you’ve tried.

And of course I didn’t mean poor people in third-world countries who are lacking the opportunities that we have in the industrialized countries. But I think you knew that.

Interesting to listen to but REALLY STUPID, sorry!

“…if you love what you do and are really passionate about it and work really hard, the money kind of comes automatically.”

Do you really believe this to be true? What about poor artists, what about the thrid world?

However, I like not only getting to know the language better but also your culture.

I’m a pretty new user of betteratenglish, but I’m really positively surprised by the approach to teching/learning English that you present here. I teach English myself, and would like to express how thankful I am for the inspiration I get visiting your website. I really enjoyed the presentation on “What leads to success” as well as the conversation – my students are going to love it!

Hi everyone !
Thank you so much for your podcast!
I’m french and your podcast helps me to improve, to be “better at english”

Helene

Your podcast helps me to improve my english. I use to read the vocabulary words before i listen the audio and that’s enough for me to follow and understand the conversation.
Thank you very much.
Note: I think the conversations could be 2 or 3 minutes longer.Around 8 minutes.
i think that short conversations are perfect to keep the attention. Good job and thank you again.

hey everyone,
i wasn’t really interested in this subject but the other subjects are dead intereting!!
Suggestion: I’m interested in what do the english people think when they talk about German, spanish, French…and so on…
e.g.: german people are eating “bavarian veal sausage” all the time, spanish are dancing flamenco every day and french are eating baguette every morning… in short: some funny prejudice about some (in the eyes of english people) foreigners.
That would be really fantastic!!!!

It’s a very interesting video and a very interesting conversation

I think that people tell themselves that success is a matter of luck and talent to have an alibi. If you say that everybody can get success and you don’t get it then it’s your fault. So, instead of that, you say that you are unlucky or ugly or something similar…
