I went through 12 different businesses..
What I didn't mention was that I
actually had four businesses at one time.
I had a line of novelty t-shirts that
was actually going pretty well and
then a friend of mine he showed me
these very unusual hats. They actually had
stuffed animals on them and they were
very very cool. They were fun and he said,
"Hey Harv you know you're already going
out there. You're already visiting all
these shops. Why not carry this line of
hats and and show them this line too.
You can then pass by some schools and
the university's you know and clubs
and you're gonna double your income!" You
know what I said? Sounds good! And what did I do? I
got into the hats business as well.
Short while later, I discovered this
really really cool line of jewelry. I
said to myself, "Hey I'm already out there
on the road. Maybe I can stop in to some
jewelry stores and sell them this line
and I could earn even more money." A
few weeks after that another friend
shows up and and he shows me he's doing.
He have these coupon books, coupon books.
And these coupon books gave people
discounts on all sorts of things. You've
probably seen them. You can actually save
thousands and thousands of dollars if
you use them and they only cost
thirty bucks. So what do you think I said?!
You know what, I'm already on the road
and I'm meeting all these people. I'll
just show them the coupon books and now
I'll REALLY be making a fortune! And
besides, you know what's going on in my
mind? I also thought in the back of my
mind. That if I had more than one
business, it would be safer. It would take
the risk out of it. You know and it would
assure me of some kind of success
because I always had a backup in case
something else didn't work. So what was
the result of all this? Well I went from
doing pretty decent to completely broke
again!! I couldn't understand it. How could
more be less? And that's because, at the
time, I didn't understand something
called energy. Bottom line. It takes an
enormous amount of energy to get
something going especially at the
beginning. Let me give you an example.
Imagine a rocket launching.
okay? And imagine all the power that
it takes to get this thing off the
ground. Obviously all the thrusters have
to be facing in the same direction the
same direction. Especially at the
beginning, for the rocket to escape
earth's gravity. Yes or yes? Now imagine
for just a moment, one of the thrusters
let's say it's got three thrusters
facing down boom. Right? One of the
thrusters was facing outward
instead of directly down? Those facing
outward. Let me ask a question. What would
happen? Simple, that rocket would go BOOM!
Crash and burn. Why? Because it takes
massive energy! A thousand! A thousand
percent focus in one, ONE direction for
the rocket to launch successfully! You know
what? Same in your business! It takes
everything you've got! Every resource.
Every ounce of energy at your disposal,
to launch successfully. And what did broke
Harv do? I dissipated my energies. I
scattered my resources. I did not focus
and I crashed. "But Harv, if you notice,
most rich people including yourself have
all kinds of things going on. They got
several businesses. They got real estate
holdings. Stocks! They're diversified. Okay
I get it. Let me say this loud and clear.
Please. Yes it's true. Rich people well
they're usually diversified.. ONCE they
are rich! But you do not. I repeat do NOT
get rich by being diversified. You get
rich by being focused! Laser focused.

One night I really did not want to live anymore,
and I went out to the hallway and picked up a book.
It talked about a beautiful woman named Mary
who was the mother of Jesus, and that began my radical
falling in love with Jesus Christ.

Ron Paul Rages At Trump Assange Is A Hero Don't Declare War On - politics - Duration: 3:48.
Ron Paul Rages At Trump: "Assange Is A Hero...
Don't Declare War On The Truth"
�I love Wikileaks,� candidate Donald Trump said on October 10th on the campaign trail.
He praised the organization for reporting on the darker side of the Hillary Clinton
campaign.
It was information likely leaked by a whistleblower from within the Clinton campaign to Wikileaks.
Back then he praised Wikileaks for promoting transparency, but candidate Trump looks less
like President Trump every day.
The candidate praised whistleblowers and Wikileaks often on the campaign trail.
In fact, candidate Trump loved Wikileaks so much he mentioned the organization more than
140 times in the final month of the campaign alone!
Now, as President, it seems Trump wants Wikileaks founder Julian Assange sent to prison.
Last week CNN reported, citing anonymous �intelligence community� sources, that the Trump Administration�s
Justice Department was seeking the arrest of Assange and had found a way to charge the
Wikileaks founder for publishing classified information without charging other media outlets
such as the New York Times and Washington Post for publishing the same information.
It might have been tempting to write off the CNN report as �fake news,� as is much
of their reporting, but for the fact President Trump said in an interview on Friday that
issuing an arrest warrant for Julian Assange would be, �OK with me.�
Trump�s condemnation of Wikileaks came just a day after his CIA Director, Michael Pompeo,
attacked Wikileaks as a �hostile intelligence service.� Pompeo accused Assange of being
�a fraud � a coward hiding behind a screen.�
Pompeo�s word choice was no accident.
By accusing Wikileaks of being a �hostile intelligence service� rather than a publisher
of information on illegal and abusive government practices leaked by whistleblowers, he signaled
that the organization has no First Amendment rights.
Like many in Washington, he does not understand that the First Amendment is a limitation on
government rather than a granting of rights to citizens.
Pompeo was declaring war on Wikileaks.
But not that long ago Pompeo also cited Wikileaks as an important source of information.
In July he drew attention to the Wikileaks release of information damaging to the Clinton
campaign, writing, �Need further proof that the fix was in from President Obama on down?�
There is a word for this sudden about-face on Wikileaks and the transparency it provides
us into the operations of the prominent and powerful: hypocrisy.
The Trump Administration�s declaration of war on whistleblowers and Wikileaks is one
of the greatest disappointments in these first 100 days.
Donald Trump rode into the White House with promises that he would �drain the swamp,�
meaning that he would overturn the apple carts of Washington�s vested interests.
By unleashing those same vested interests on those who hold them in check � the whistleblowers
and those who publish their revelations � he has turned his back on those who elected him.
Julian Assange, along with the whistleblowers who reveal to us the evil that is being done
in our name, are heroes.
They deserve our respect and admiration, not a prison cell.
If we allow this president to declare war on those who tell the truth, we have only
ourselves to blame.

"I don't understand the accents of native English speakers..." - Duration: 6:50.
hi there I'm Drew Badger the world's
first and number one English Fluency
Guide and in this video I'm going to
answer a question i received from two
different people these are Jason and
Mohammed so thanks for the question and
this is how can I understand or learn to
understand different accents so
different accents from different
speakers not only in America are there
different accents depending on where you
live like the north or the south or the
East or the west or the Midwest there
are lots of different ways that people
speak even if they're using the same
words but not only that between
different countries as well I don't
sound like a British speaker I suppose I
could I could try to speak like a
British I can't I can't actually speak
british english i could probably like if
somebody practice with me there's some
british teachers out there you want to
do like a video where we could we could
practice you could try to speak and like
an American yeah I'm again i'm not doing
it i'm not doing it very well but anyway
there are different accents for
different places and it's really like
it's a pain in the ass to learn with one
thing you're a learner and you're like
okay I'm trying to learn the American
accent but wow there are many American
accents and okay I also have to
understand maybe some British speakers
or Australians or you know people from
South Africa or wherever and even beyond
that all the non-native speakers because
there are now more non-native speakers
than native speakers of the English
language and they're also difficult to
understand so really it can be quite
confusing so here's how you do it here's
how you solve this problem now all you
really need to do is take the same
information and then you need to have it
listen to or you need to listen to it
spoken or said by different people it's
actually a really simple process and
it's more about finding good information
and so this is what you can do actually
right here on YouTube when you're
practicing one of the basic things that
I always teach people is to listen to
music covers of different songs so maybe
you have the Beatles would have a very
popular song like whatever I just like
like sergeant pepper or whatever they're
just different songs that the beatles
have that are covered by a lot of
different other musicians like maybe
individual singers or whole band but to
cover something just me
that you take some music that is not
yours and maybe you arrange it slightly
say it in a different way but what
you're doing here is you get maybe like
John Lennon or Paul McCartney these are
you know singers from the Beatles that
are saying something but then you can
have an American that's also singing
that that same album or that same song
or whatever I think like the whole the
soundtrack to the movie I and Sam it's
like nothing but covers of the Beatles
so if you listen to the actual Beatles
song but then listen to some other
artists saying the same thing it expands
your range for being able to understand
different speakers so maybe like again a
British person is saying it we're
singing something in the case of the
song or you get maybe a American or an
Australian anybody like that so if i'm
thinking like even you know children's
music you can get different versions of
this in like just go on youtube and look
up like children's children's songs and
you'll hear the different versions of
that depending on if it's like british
whatever like look up look up even like
like five little monkeys jumping on the
bed so i do like a song like this for my
daughter maybe she'll watch some videos
on youtube that are singing a song but
there are many different versions of
that so people will sing you know
whatever different versions of that and
she can hear the different intonation
the different accents all these things
just by listening to the same thing in
different ways and this is exactly why
we do this in master English
conversation in the fluency course when
people can listen to the one the one
sting like the one story or maybe like a
couple of phrases and then hear a bunch
of different people from different
different parts of the world saying
those things because you're getting
listening practice and when you're
practicing with those people see you
practice shadowing with them which means
you're speaking at the exact same time
or you're just repeating with those
people but this is what again kind of
stretches your accent so I can listen to
British speakers and I can I can try to
say like a like a cockney accent or like
a British accent you know what I'm
trying to sound like posh or whatever
and I again I like I sound really bad
even when i was living in England for a
couple of a couple of months I couldn't
speak very well but any
it was like fun to try to copy what
people were saying and have them try to
do an American accent anyway if you're
listening to people doing these things
it's really easy so music covers is one
way to do it another is looking for
maybe quotes by like famous quotes oh
you look right up on YouTube for famous
quotes by somebody or a famous speech or
a famous play or a famous yet again
anything that would be spoken by a
number of people so it could be a famous
story of famous song anything like that
but again you're looking for different
versions of that thing spoken by
different people and also if you can
people from different countries so
America Britain Canada Australia any any
english-speaking country or anybody
really around the world that's saying
that particular thing so this is how you
do it this is how you develop the habit
of doing it you don't just listen to one
person like don't just listen to me say
something you got to get lots of
different people just the same way a
native speaker does and over time not
only listening but you try to repeat
what they say so it's not just listening
you have to say it back you have to
repeat it along with people or shadow
again you're saying it at the same time
people do but that's what helps you get
really excited and really able to
understand all these different things so
it's a really simple thing same content
different people you know different
however many different people you can
get but the more you can get the better
well I hope I have answered that for
both Jason and Mohamed and for anyone
else that's you know trying to figure
out how to understand native speakers
with different accents but anyway
hopefully that solves it for you and you
get out and you practice remember it's
not about just listening to people it's
about developing the habit of a native
English speaker so learn like a native
English speaker if you want to sound
like a native English speaker and be
able to listen like one well that's it

RFK JR GIVES EYE OPENING INTERVIEW ON LIVE TV ABOUT VACCINE FACTS THAT MANY PEOPLE STILL DON'T KNOW - Duration: 9:09.
RFK JR. GIVES EYE-OPENING INTERVIEW ON LIVE TV ABOUT VACCINE FACTS THAT MANY PEOPLE STILL
DON�T KNOW
BY ARJUN WALIAAPRIL
Robert F. Kennedy Jr was recently a guest on Tucker Carlson�s show for Fox News, and
in it he revealed it was only the second time he�d ever been allowed to discuss the dangers
of vaccines on such a platform. This restriction is hardly a surprise, and it�s no secret
that networks and shows are paid vast amounts of advertising dollars by big pharmaceutical
companies to paint a particular picture � one that continually promotes vaccines as necessary
and safe.
Hundreds of scientists and doctors from around the world who are now publishing studies that
raise concerns about vaccine safety share this sentiment. Dr. Christopher Shaw, a professor
at the University of British Columbia in the Department of Neuroscience, Ophthalmology,
and Visual Sciences, is one such scientist. Regarding the HPV vaccine, he writes, �It
is a vaccine that�s been highly marketed, the benefits are over-hyped, and the dangers
are underestimated.�
Industry insiders also agree. Here is a clip taken from the One More Girl documentary,
a film that explores the Gardasil vaccine, which was designed to prevent Human Papillomavirus.
In it, Dr. Peter Rost, a former vice president of one of the largest pharmaceutical companies
in the world (Pfizer), shares the truth about the ties between the medical and pharmaceutical
industry.
When it comes to the science, Robert F. Kennedy is currently focusing on one (out of many)
concerns regarding current vaccination, which is mercury, one of the most dangerous toxins
known to man � 100 times more poisonous than lead . He recently held a press conference
at the National Press Club bringing this point up, offering a $100,000 reward for any scientist,
journalist, or doctor to present a study showing that it is safe to inject mercury into babies.
And it�s a difficult task, considering hundreds of studies (that were also present at the
press conference in print form) show it isn�t safe at all, and can significantly increase
the risk of developing neurodegenerative disorders, .
The same goes for aluminum adjuvented vaccines. Aluminum has been being added to vaccines
for approximately 90 years, and still the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and vaccine
manufacturers have not conducted or included any appropriate toxicity studies/testing to
prove its safety.
A fairly recent meta-analysis published in the journal Bio Med Research International
determined:
The studies upon which the CDC relies and over which it exerted some level of control
report that there is no increased risk of autism from exposure to organic Hg in vaccines,
and some of these studies even reported that exposure to Thimerosal appeared to decrease
the risk of autism. These six studies are in sharp contrast to research conducted by
independent researchers over the past 75+ years that have consistently found Thimerosal
to be harmful. As mentioned in the Introduction section, many studies conducted by independent
investigators have found Thimerosal to be associated with neurodevelopmental disorders.
Considering that there are many studies conducted by independent researchers which show a relationship
between Thimerosal and neurodevelopmental disorders, the results of the six studies
examined in this review, particularly those showing the protective effects of Thimerosal,
should bring into question the validity of the methodology used in the studies.
This topic gained a lot more attention within the mainstream a couple of years ago, when
Dr. William Thompson, a senior scientist at the Centres for Disease Control (CDC), revealed
that the CDC has known about a link between autism and vaccines for a long time. He even
provided personal examples where his colleagues and superiors disposed of important data.
This was a huge story, and I am mentioning it here because Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is also
a lawyer and represented Dr. Thompson when he had to invoke whistleblower protection
status. What makes this even more eye opening is that Dr. Thompson authored multiple CDC
studies completely debunking a link between vaccines and autism
He said it was �the lowest point� in his career when he �went along with that paper.�
He went on to say that he and the other authors �didn�t report significant findings�
and that he is �completely ashamed� of what he did. He was �complicit and went
along with this,� and regrets that he has �been a part of the problem.�
A study with revised information and no data omitted was published by Dr. Brian Hooker
(a contact of Dr. Thompson) in the peer reviewed journal Translational Neurodegeneration, and
it found a 340% increased risk of autism in African American boys receiving the Measles-mumps-rubella
(MMR) vaccine. The study has since been retracted.
You can read the full study HERE.
�Despite their long use as active agents of medicines and fungicides, the safety levels
of these substances have never been determined, either for animals or for adult humans�much
less for fetuses, newborns, infants, and children.�
-Dr. Jose G. Dores, a professor at the University of Brasilia�s Department of Nutritional
Sciences
The Interview
In the interview below, RFK brings up a number of good points, but it�s important to remember
there are many other issues regarding vaccine safety that demand our attention.
Many of these issue are brought up in an article we published a few years ago, which should
provide you a general overview of: Why More & More Parents Are Choosing Not To Vaccine
Their Children.
One point I�d like to touch upon from the short interview below deals with how, after
1989, pharmaceutical companies received complete protection from wrongdoing, which meant they
stood to make significantly more money. Even with all of the modern day examples of scientific
fraud, they were and are always protected. This means that they can literally do anything
they want, and approve anything they want, while at the same time claiming it�s beneficial
to human health.
Related CE Article written by RFK: New Study Finds DTP Vaccine Increases Mortality In Young
Infants 5 to 10 fold compared to unvaccinated infants.
�I�m pro-vaccine, and I�ve never said anything anti-vaccine, but I�ve read
the science, and the science is very clear.�

Don't Ask - Just Do - Duration: 1:22.
People who are friends of people who have lost a parent, I tell them,
I say, "The best thing you can do is don't ask them what can I do for you.
Is there anything I can do for you?" Don't do that. Just do something.
Bring them dinner, bring them lunch. Bring them a six-pack of beer.
If they've got kids, come take the kids and go to the park or go to the zoo.
Don't make them think for themselves. Just take something off their plate that they
don't have to worry about. For those close friends, the people who you really
feel close to, just be there and yes, go to the hospital,
go to the house when it happens but come in after everybody else because there's
always going to be the people and the family members who come into town just to
give condolences who are doing it not necessarily for show, but they know they
need to do it and they really do mean it, and they mean well by it but be the ones
after that first wave. Come in after that when things are getting tough.
Come in and bring them groceries. Just help them however they can.
The littlest things, you'd be amazed at how big the littlest things are,
just being there.

To This Day I Don't Know Where My Parents Are Buried - Duration: 2:32.
Dad died. We cremated him, and we had an urn, and it basically sat on my mom's,
like, bookcase shelf for two years until she passed away. And then she said before
she died, she said, "I want you to put my ashes inside the urn with Dad." I'm like,
"Okay." "And then bury it or whatever, or keep it." I'm like, "I'm not...
I'll bury it." So two years later, Mom dies. I get the ashes and put them
together. And you think when you get ashes, it's going to be this big deal,
but it's literally a plastic box. It's very... It's literally a plastic
Tupperware box that you get a person's ashes in.
So we put them in this nice gold box and it's got their names engraved on it and
stuff, and trying to figure out what to do with these ashes. And burial sites and
mausoleums and stuff are fairly expensive, and I'm not much about,
like, going back to a grave and, you know, saying words or reminiscing or things like
that, but you want to be able to have somewhere to go, which is nice.
So my mother-in-law at the time did some research, and she found a graveyard in a
small town in Oklahoma, and we were able to get a burial spot for fairly
inexpensive, and they were okay with just burying the urn.
So, give the urn to these people, pay them. A couple of months down the road,
try to find out, okay, so where are they buried? They went out of business,
and I, to this day, have no idea where my parents' ashes are. I've gone down there a
handful of times over the years. This... Dad died 18 years ago, and Mom died
16 years ago, and I've been to the graveyard a couple of times and
tried to go off of where they said they were supposed to be, and there was
supposed to be, like, a nameplate on the ground. No idea. No idea where my parents'
ashes are. So that was always a weird kind of closure, there was no real closure
there. Not that I need to have a place to go, but it just would be nice to know
where their final resting place is. So that was kind of a strange one.

Doors Don't Lock, Ceiling Tiles Leak - Duration: 1:02.
Two stories from my site.
One, doors don't lock.
In a lockdown, we move classrooms.
So that means in my class of 30 plus, I take in 30 plus more students in a lockdown.
Second, I'm a basketball coach.
My school had to give up the travel rule because our gym floor was so worn, you can't stop
in basketball.
No travel.
(laughter) I'm not joking.
You got 2 extra steps at our school.
We need to invest in the basics.
Gym floors that are not so worn out that you can't have a travel rule.
Doors that lock.
Ceiling tiles and roofs that don't leak.
And plumbing that doesn't leak.
