I was born in (and from) in an endless darkness
I saw the light,
I got scared.I cried.
In time
I learned to live in (with) the light.
I saw the darkness,I got scared.
There were some days that I sent my loved ones into the infinite darkness..
I cried.
I learned to live.
I learned that;birth is the moment that life starts to end,
the part between (the birth and death) is the time that are stolen from death.
I learned the time.I raced with it.
I learned in (or with) time,that you can't compete with it, only concede with it.
I learned human.
Later
I learned that there are good and bad people,
and then, there are good and bad in every person.
I learned to love.
Then, to trust..
Later,
I learned that trust is more permanent than love,
and love is only built on trust.
I learned human skin.
and then I learned there's a soul under the skin.
After that, I learned that soul is actually above the skin.
I learned the universe.
Then I learned the ways of illuminating it.
After that, I learned that you need to illuminate your surroundings if you want to illuminate the universe.
I learned bread (food).
Then that the bread should be produced in peace,
and then, I learned that sharing the bread (equally and fair) is as important as producing it.
I learned how to read.
Then I taught myself how to write..
And after a while, writing taught me who I am..
I learned to go (to leave),
Then
I learned how to return,
And then I learned how to leave again, despite myself..
I learned to challenge the world (on my own) at an early age..
Then,
I thought I should walk with the crowds in unity.
Later,
I realized that I should actually walk against the crowds.
I learned to think.
Then I learned to think the way they told me.
Then I learned that the healthy thinking is unconditioned thinking. (Thinking in freedom, without being under the influence of people).
I learned the importance of honor (also honesty/purity) at home..
Then I learned it's dishonesty to expect honesty from dishonest people,
and the real honesty (honor) is not touching it when the sin is right under your hand.
One day, I learned the truth.
And that the truth is bitter (painful)..
Later, I learned that the right amount of bitter (pain) gives life a taste just like spice gives taste to a meal.
I learned that all living (creatures) will taste the death (one day),
but only some of them will taste (learn) living..
I do not love my friends with my heart or my mind
Whether the heart stops, and the mind forgets
I love my friends with my soul
it never stops and nor does it forget

Car Trip | Dad's What's Up | The Dad - Duration: 1:46.
- We're a family.
We share limited space and limited resources
and we try to keep each other happy and rested and fed.
This weekend, instead of doing that in this beautiful house,
we're gonna do it in a 2003 Mazda Protege.
We're talkin' about tips for takin' a family car trip
'cause Dad's What's Up.
Number one, we are going to take turns on the radio.
Now, your mother and I are gonna listen to cool, fun music
that everyone can enjoy.
You're probably gonna listen to a kid's podcast
about science trivia, that's great,
but if on your first turn you listen to the episode
about shark facts, and then on your second turn
you listen to that episode about shark facts again,
you're gonna find your turns gettin' shorter
and our turns gettin' longer.
I hope you like rap rock.
Number two, your mother and I
are going to encourage you to sleep a little bit.
Over and over, in fact, I'll start right now.
Why don't you sleep a little bit?
Your trip will go faster and your mom and I
can kill time by saying catty things about your relatives.
All you miss out on is boredom.
Trust me, if I didn't have to hang onto that steering wheel,
I'd be back there sleeping with you, guaranteed.
Number three, we're gonna push through
and get there as soon as possible for you,
but if you say you need a bathroom
we'll stop everything and find one for you
with no way to tell if you're lying or not,
that's a lot of power.
Welcome to the big game.
I'm the dad, I've got a lot of power too,
like, maybe we'll skip the fun fast food lunch
and just eat out of mom's grocery bag full of apples,
what do you say?
You feel lucky?
Hey, we're all friends here.
Let's just stay happy and relaxed
and we'll be there in no time
and in this case, there, is an engagement party
for your mother's distant friends.
I hope you're excited 'cause I sure am.
I'll see you in the Protege
'cause Dad's What's Up.
(cheerful music)

What's the best response to climate change? - Duration: 14:50.
This video comes to you in seven parts.
And we are going to cover a lot of ground here. If you can't tell this video is kind
of long. But in short, we're gonna talk about how does the world reduce its carbon footprint
- is it through large-scale structural and societal shifts? Or individual actions?
Who is we you ask? Well it is me and ClimateAdam who I am talking to via the interwebs.
Hey Adam, who are you and what do you do?
Adam: I talk about climate change, mostly climate science in quite a sort of playful,
youtubery way. So my goal at the beginning was to make videos that emulated my favorite
YouTubers, not necessarily educational YouTubers, but just kind of like harness this silliness
to talk about climate change.
And I started that while I was doing my, my PhD, which was in climate science.
And, um, I guess its been, oh God, maybe four years or so since I made my first video?
Miriam: Oh, before we go any further, I want to let you know that Adam and I put together
a sketch on his channel, which you can watch right [snaps] now.
I try to act? So you can be the judge of how well that went.
Okay, back to chatting.
Can I ask why you think that silliness is important?
Adam: Climate change is often, well, if not always, an intimidating topic. I think lots
of us are really scared of climate change, or we're just scared of being lectured about
climate change.
And so we end up not talking about it at all.
I think silence about climate change is one of the things that concerns me most about
it. And so by being silly, by being quite playful, I think it gives a lot of people
a way in to think about climate change and to talk about climate change when they wouldn't
normally.
I try not to aim the jokes at climate change - I'm not saying Climate Change is silly - I'm
saying that I am silly.
And using that as a way to try and, like, give a little window into talking about climate
change.
Miriam: So, speaking about climate change, in the world's best transition ever.
In the video on Adam's channel we're playing characters discussing what is a better way
to mitigate climate change? Individual actions - something you do in your daily life, or
structural changes - think government policy, industry overhaul, or cultural shifts.
Adam: Its interesting because I feel like there are two big debates in Climate Change.
There is the debate that happens outside the climate nerd world, which is the kind of false
debate about whether it is even happening.
But then if you're just are embedded in the climate nerd world, theres this big debate
about what kind of action, at least at the moment, there's this big debate about what
kind of action should take precedent.
Miriam: If we're speaking in broad strokes I tend to fall more on the side of pushing
for large-scale structural shifts whereas, Adam leans more toward individual actions.
Adam: I think for me, that is not because that is not because I don't think the collective
is important. I think it's fundamental we absolutely need it. But I can see we're not
doing that, it's very obvious we're not doing that.
And we've been not doing that for a while so, it's sort of in the same that some people
say charities are not a good thing - we need to get to a world where we don't need charity.
I sort of feel like yes, absolutely, we need to get to a world where we don't need charity,
but we don't have that world yet, so we still do need philanthropic organizations so people
don't starve to death or die of preventable diseases.
Similarly for climate change, absolutely we need structural changes, we're not getting
those at the moment so we need to cut our emissions in any way we can.
And I think pointing out the personal ways we can cut emissions is helpful in doing that.
Miriam: And from my perspective, my big problem with pushing for individual actions is often
how those recommendations are conveyed.
Because it often comes down, kind, kind of patronizingly. Like, hey, you need to change
your lifestyle because it's your fault that this is all happening. Which not only takes
the burden off the big players, that are the larger emitters, more, emitting more than
an individual person ever would.
But also, it ends up being kind of classist and racist a lot of times. I mean, I think
that's been a big problem of the environmental movement for the last like three decades,
four decades now.
What I see more often than not, is that the folks that are deciding what the individual
actions we need to do, are speaking from a place of racial and financial privilege which
makes it a lot easier to take those actions. All while they're simultaneously saying you're
a bad person if you don't take these actions, despite many individual actions being all
but impossible for a lot of people.
What's even more frustrating about that dynamic to me is that if you look at who are the biggest
emitters, it's the people that are wealthy, living in a colonialist nations, who have
the most capacity to choose not to fly, or buy that expensive train ticket or have the
time to figure out what emits the least but aren't because they are running the countries
and the companies that emit the most. And much of the every little bit helps conversations
aren't aimed at the big emitters.
That being said, I subscribe to many of the individual actions like I haven't eaten meat
in over a decade, I don't own a car.
Adam: Yeah, I think the idea of telling people what to do is, not something I have ever felt
comfortable with. What I've tried to do generally is speak about the things I've done in my
personal life, like why I've done them, how I've done them, or like, point out the difference
that certain actions can take.
But, I think you're absolutely right, people like me to be honest, often forget how lucky
I am to have enough flexibility in my life to make these changes in the first place.
I can choose to not really drive at all, like, I live in a city with good public transport,
I can afford to take the trains to places.
I had a job, so I live in London I should point out. I had a job recently in Berlin
and one in Poland. I was able to travel to both of these jobs by train and bus, which
not only proves how much flexibility I have in my time, but also, like, that was a more
expensive way to get there.
Miriam: I mean the other big thing that I think about is that as great as individual
actions may be, they're never gonna solve all of the problems.
So in the video on your channel I make a joke about taking over all the garbage trucks in
New York City and electrifying them. Other examples of things that no matter what I do
as an individual I'm not going to be able to change are:
How concrete is made and used, the energy efficiency of every truck on the road, or
how much electricity Amazon's servers use.
And there are loads of other things like that, consumer choice can only go so far.
Adam: Yeah, I think that's absolutely true, there's some things that I'm not even able
to choose, you know, there isn't a climate friendly option on the market. So it's all
well and good saying "oh market forces will push these things into changing"
If there isn't an electric car you can buy or you just can't even afford the electric
car then that's not gonna help.
One thing that really stuck for me, um, was just after the Paris agreement and I was among
quite a lot of people who were quite surprised to see 1.5 degrees as the, like, ambitious
target of the Paris Climate Agreement.
I interviewed a climate scientist, Piers Forster, a UK-based climate scientists shortly after
that. And his response was just that the best understanding of the time showed that this
was still something that was possible and that was something that was really valuable
for us to achieve. But if we wanted to achieve it, we didn't have really any choices left.
If you could think of a way of cutting emissions you needed to do that, like, every single
thing you could think, whether it was changing power plants or changing how you fly or what
you eat, just absolutely everything we need to throw at the problem needs to be thrown
at the problem if we're going to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees.
And there are some very good reasons why we should limit global warming to 1.5 degrees.
Miriam: n.b. see card linking to Adam's video about why limiting warming to 1.5 degrees
should definitely be our goal.
The one thing that also really worries me, though, about kind of putting that out into
the world is that so many of the things that I see people talking about - they're not going
to help, they might actually make it worse. And I feel like when we talk about climate
change, and we're doing climate communication it's walking this tightrope between what's
really catchy and people will remember and people will actually do, like what's sticky
and what actually works.
This like big push for local food: great for a lot of things, maybe not super great for
climate change.
Right now this huge discussion of straw bans, almost no impact on global climate, objectively
pretty bad for disable people, only mildly bad for the oceans.
Adam: It's like the plastic straw thing, but here in the UK we've got a 5 pence charge
if you buy a new plastic bag at the shop. And since that's happened, so many people
when they find that I work on climate change, and if I meet someone now or something, even
know they say, "oh cool, well, you know I reuse my plastic bags, like, hey, I'm helping
solve this thing."
And, in one way that's awesome that they're like doing something that they feel is valuable
and you know, they feel like its connected to this thing, but it sucks because it's not
really.
I mean that helps certain things, but that's not gonna help climate change at all.
Miriam: I think that's really, probably, where the individual verse structural argument breaks
down also, like, makes it kind of pointless in that the ones that become really popular
- the structural and individual changes, uh, that people can get really excited about because
they're easy to talk about they're easy to understand, you can put them on a bumper sticker.
Kind of things like that.
The impact compared to what we need to do.
Adam: I think its important not to be absolutists, as soon as we start saying to people, in order
to be good, you need to do X, where X is some total thing be that vegetarianism or veganism
or never flying. There's no room for conversation there, there's no room for the fact we all
lead different lives with different access to different things.
There's that phrase, I don't know where its from but "perfect is the enemy of the good"
which I think is really valuable for climate change, but also just for the quality of my
YouTube videos.
Miriam: In the video on your channel we do talk about, kind of very briefly what are
some individual and structural actions that people can and should do. We've kind of talked
about how changing your diet even if just slightly is great. What are some other kind
of things you can do in your daily life that you want to recommend people do.
Adam: I think a lot of them people know about as well, so like diet and transport are the
ones we talk about a lot. Apart from the obvious ones I think the thing that people don't talk
about that much and is so ingrained in everything we do, and I think you think about quite a
lot is stuff.
Like how just like everything we buy, all of the materials we buy, the cameras we've
got, our phones, our clothes, all of this uses energy, ends up emitting greenhouse gases,
and recycling, although it's okay, it's not you know, the end of the world to recycle
stuff it's so much better if we can reduce the amount we used in the first place.
And when we've got something that goes a a bit wrong, if it gets a hole in it, if we
can repair it and keep it going and just avoid buying a new phone just because it's a bit
chipped or like there's a brand new faster one.
Miriam: I also think that kind of dovetails pretty perfectly into one of my favorite structural
changes to talk about.
This is a big debate, and by big debate, I mean completely ignored but super important
debate that's happening in the US at least with right to repair laws and as our devices
get smaller and thinner companies do things to make it basically all one piece which makes
it very hard to repair it.
And they aren't releasing the abilities for third-party companies to make bits to swap
stuff out, so like, right now basically all I can do with the laptop that I'm talking
to you on is replace the battery after my warranty's overs and a couple of the other
parts but if the screen goes or like a part of the screen goes I have to replace the entire
top of this laptop.
With my phone, all I can really replace right now is the physical body outside and the battery
and the screen.
So fighting for some kind of right to repair law in your area while on their face don't
necessarily seem like a climate change law, in actually if enough places have these laws
on the books, the big Apples and Googles and Lenovos of the world are going to have to
change how they make their products and let third-party vendors repair them.
Which can help reduce how often we have to buy new laptops and new phones and keeps us
out of the planned obsolescence cycle.
Adam: There's some really amazing organizations I've heard about where you can go along and
they help you fix your stuff. I tried to replace the battery in my electric toothbrush... I
did successfully replace the battery in my electric toothbrush.
Also got three soldering burns in the process, um, so for people like me who are terrible
at this there are also like places you can go where they'll repair stuff.
The really depressing thing often is that it costs as much or sometimes even more to
repair things, um, than it does to just buy a new one.
And I often choose to repair even when it's a big more expensive to buy a new one. but
I understand that's something that I'm privileged enough to have the cash, I have the luxury
of choice.
I also try to buy things secondhand a lot - to like, increase the demand for secondhand
things and show that things have value after they use, well that's one of the reasons,
the other reason is just because I'm cheap.
Miriam: Yeah, I mean, when I first moved to New York, I just biked everywhere, um, and
I told myself it was because, while public transport is great, if you can - it still
uses fossil fuels so biking even better, and I am a physically able person so could bike
everywhere, but really it's because a monthly subway pass in New York costs more than a
hundred dollars and I already bought my bike so that was free.
Adam: You joke about it, but when you can find things which on a personal level benefit
people in multiple ways, like you can suggest something which saves someone money and time
and also coincidentally reduces the greenhouse gases emitted, it's like win win win.
Miriam: Wooof, this is by the far the longest public video I have on this channel so if
you made it this far, thank you for watching.
Thank you so much Adam for coming to talk to me on my channel. It was really great,
I learned a lot, had a lot of thoughts.
Adam: And if you'd like a taste of what exists on my channel then check out the video we
made over there, it's basically a super condensed much silier version of the conversation you've
just seen.
Miriam: I would love to hear from you all how you think about mitigating climate change.
Are you existing in this dichotomy between individual and structural shifts or are you
thinking in an entirely different way.
As always I will be hanging out down there in the comments. Feel free to stop by and
I hope you're having a wonderful day.
Adam: BYE!

Do This To MANIFEST What YOU Want FASTER | The Law of Attraction - Duration: 14:47.
This was the secret in the last 18 months I went from 5,000 YouTube
subscribers to about 400,000 at the time of making this and I went from a
business that wasn't even earning six figures wasn't even earning a hundred
thousand dollars to earning over a million dollars easily clearing that and
it all changed in eighteen months doing this one thing so think about what it is
that you want think about what it is that you want to attract in your life
and this is the missing key that will start to open up the powers within
yourself that you might not even be aware of so that the things that you
want start speeding up and showing up in your life quicker and faster this is
Jake do see with Jake do c-calm unleash the powerful forces of the universe
using this one thing
so just sitting here watching the beautiful view from my living room out
here in the Hawaiian Islands and I was thinking about him what in my life
changed so I used to be struggling so bad that my now wife was in debt
everything just buying groceries stressed me out I nothing was working
and I was working really really hard all the time and people around me were
saying you know maybe you should give up and I didn't want to give up I really
wanted this thing and I'm sure you can relate to that and you know I looked
around at my life and things weren't working so I was kind of getting
desperate so I had all my all my my my like I had my hands and a bunch of
different baskets I had I was trying to do like network marketing and I was
trying to do this thing and I was trying to do I had like eight different ways I
was trying to scrape by and get things going and I realized now that what I was
doing actually was that I didn't think any one thing was going to work out so I
tried to do a bunch of things my motivation wasn't you know they say
that that millionaires have many sources of income absolutely and and when we're
trying to make things happen it's it's important that we have our hands in the
baskets necessary to provide for ourselves and our family but when you
think of the law of attraction and it says that like energy attracts like
energy and then I reflect on my life I was so used to things not working out in
my life that I assumed that they weren't going to work the way that I wanted so I
tried to do everything I tried to do everything I was trying to get funding
for documentaries I hadn't added and I was trying to do multi-level marketing I
was trying to do everything just to try to pay my rent comfortably and what I
really was saying to myself is I don't believe it's possible to do what I
really want therefore I need to do everything
and what I really wanted and I was doing I was trying to do college speaking high
school speaking corporate speaking I was trying to do everything I was like I'll
build a podcast I'll do this I'll do that
and I was finally like what do I actually want I wanted to make youtube
videos and build online courses so people could study from their home on
how to achieve their highest potential from the comfort of their home anywhere
in the world and I wanted to make videos that's what I wanted to do so I deleted
and erased everything else from my life and I focused only on one thing making
YouTube videos as the only thing I started focusing on and my life started
changing because I weeded out so much of the complexities of my life and I said
I'm putting all my eggs into this thing working out this is going to work out
I'm putting all my eggs into this basket and what happens for most people is they
go into the experiences assuming that it's not going to work and so they don't
put the proper energy into the things that they really want and they disperse
their energy too wildly in too many places because they're not giving
themselves the necessary energy and focus required to make the one thing
that they really really want to happen work and what I'm inviting you to do is
to take inventory this is cool acid reflection off the window of the ocean
take inventory of what it is that you really want and ask yourself have I
committed to this fully because if you haven't committed to it fully the
message that you're sending to your subconscious mind is that this probably
won't work out and if you're sending that message guess what it's probably
not going to work out it's just not so I deleted all types of things all types of
things from my life I was spending all my time doing high-end coaching and
speaking and I enjoyed it but I really wanted to do YouTube for a while and so
at the time and those two other things were my
income source and I let them go and it was really scary because I didn't have
income for a while because I let go of the things that were my income and then
I put all my eggs into the YouTube basket and that's when things started
taking off in my life was what I said I'm truly going to decide the word
decide literally means to kill off any other alternatives and what happens is
when you're half in half out happened oh I think I'm gonna attract my soulmate
and I really want but then I'm afraid to go ask somebody out at the coffee shop
all the time you're half in and you're half out when you say I really want this
dream business but you got a full-time job and then you're not saving all your
money from your full-time job to give you the financial stability to
eventually quit and go in on your dream then you're really not serious and when
you're really not serious about it the universe can pick up that subtle energy
and when it picks that subtle energy up it starts to give you back the exact
energy you're putting into your desires and if you're putting into your desires
this might not work or a half commitment you're going to get back energy that
matches that experience sometimes simplicity is the ultimate
sophistication I think van Gogh said that simplicity is the ultimate
sophistication see I have a international seven figure business and
it is simple I focus on one thing I make youtube videos to inspire as many people
as I can and I say to the universe before I now demand that my subconscious
mind inspires these people with the skill humor bravado wisdom whatever it
takes and I focus on one helping you and then I let the universe take care of the
rest of it and when you start showing up like that to one or two or three things
holy that's when the results start happening in your life but what what
tends to occur is we're afraid to fail at something so we disperse our energy
so widely but if you disperse your energy too
widely you don't have enough focused energy to make things really start to
happen doesn't mean you don't diversify but you've got to start with something
that you can really ground your energy into so my invitation to you is this
what things can you contemplate letting go of what things can you contemplate
eliminating are there certain people in your life you spend a lot of time with
that you love but they really aren't going anywhere and they really aren't
helping you move forward on your dreams and they really aren't that serious
about actual izing their full potential are there certain projects that you're
putting energy into but you really don't care about at all and they're really
taking away the energy from the things you truly care about what is it
because I'm telling you your life can change drastically in the next 12 months
in the next 18 months but it'll only change if you take seriously putting the
energy into the things that are important you and then you've
relentlessly weed out the things that are not that important because if you
let a bunch of things stay in your energy field that you don't
really care about or you don't really take that seriously then you start to
weigh down your own energy field and when you weigh that down you limit your
point of Attraction and the things that you can create and bring into your life
because your subconscious mind is confused well what are they serious
about well what do they want because their energy is the spirts this way in
that way in this way in that way so Ashley my my now wife she wanted to be a
full-time artist and so she was working full-time at a clothing store and what I
told her to do was to if you don't want to do this anymore what she said she was
sick of it I don't want to do this anymore I said so what you got to do is
you got to turn your job into a full-time investor you don't have the
money to quit and be a full-time artist so what you need to do is you need to
show up and you need to fold those clothes at that clothing store to the
best of your ability and you need to save as much money as you possibly can
you can't be going out by like clothes you can't be buying shoes
you can't be getting a facial you can't be doing anything you need to be putting
that money into where it's important now if you don't care that much that's cool
baby you can do whatever you want I love you no matter what but if what you're
telling me it's true that you don't want to go to this job anymore you got to do
something about it you can't just like be upset that you got to go to this job
I don't want to go today we'll put your money where your energy is put your
energy where your desire is go to the job take that check however small it is
and save a hundred percent of it if you can't save 80 percent of it as you can
save as much of it as you can and relentlessly cut out all spending that
you don't need so you so in six months you have a lump sum that will allow you
to quit that job and go full-time on your art and that's what she did she
went from full-time to part-time she had enough money put away so she could work
less and eventually she had enough money put away where she could quit me a
full-time artist she put her energy seriously into what she wanted and now
she sells our pieces all over the world and she's and she's a very very very
successful artist that makes a lot of money doing art
but it was by seriously by taking seriously her art not by being half in
half hour and that's what I'm inviting you to do comment down below one thing
that you're willing to give up two things you're willing to give up one
thing you're willing to double down on I had to double down on YouTube and say
I'm gonna try to be the best speaker I can possibly be to inspire you and just
be as great as I can and I'll let the universe take care of the details
because this is what I want and I need to stop I need to stop not giving what I
want credence because I wasn't giving what I want credence I was saying I
really want to do YouTube but I don't know if it's gonna work out so let me do
9 million other things and I wasn't giving the necessary energy I needed to
YouTube so what wasn't getting back the energy I wanted I wasn't getting any
subscribers I wasn't getting any views because I wasn't really into it all the
way and I cut everything else out and I went fooling on YouTube and then in one
week period I got more subscribers in one week than I had on my entire channel
in the history of my channel because I went all in on one thing then you can
diversify then you can do all these other things but if you're not getting

What we Learned from Michelle Obama's Career Change: Part 1 | 9 to Alive - Duration: 6:41.
We all know that Michelle Obama did a great job with charities during her time
at the White House but did you know she left her highly paid job as a corporate
lawyer to work for a non-profit years before being the First Lady? Let's look
at how and why she did it!
Ciao! It's Bruna here and with the Dream Team
at CharityJob we help you turn your 9 to 5 into 9 to Alive! So what inspired Michelle Obama
to change her career and what steps were involved in finding the right one? In
part one of this miniseries we look at Michelle's journey as she puts it in her
best-selling book, 'Becoming'. We'll examine Michelle's journey and how she
discovered the right path for her and how she managed to align her career with
who she is. Stick around for part two so you will learn how to do the same. Here's
a little bit of background, Michelle grew up in a loving family in
one of the poorest areas, the South Side of Chicago, with all the difficulties
being young and black in the 70's involved. But far from feeling
discouraged, she was strong-willed and eager to prove
her worth. So she worked hard and secured her places in Ivy League universities
such as Princeton and Harvard, taking on huge student loans. No surprise, right
after Harvard she became a highly paid and successful lawyer in one of the top
firms in Chicago. Living the dream, right? No. Not really.
It looked like the perfect life from an outside perspective, but that's not how
Michelle felt. The problem was she was so laser-focused on proving her worth and
achieving her goals that she forgot herself along the way. That's how she
puts it in her words during Oprah Winfrey's interview. [Michelle] I became a box
checker, I became someone who understood that there was payoff for effort and I
enjoyed that just like, 'what do you want to be when you grow up?', 'I want to be a
lawyer', 'well that sounds good'. And I responded to the reaction that I got
without thinking about who I was and even knowing
I had the write to think about it. So I went through much of my life until I
became a lawyer checking boxes. Get good grades? I can do that. Check. Apply to the
best schools in the country? Get into Princeton?
Check. Get there, what's your major? Let me do something that's gonna get me good
grades so I can get into law school, I guess?
Did it, check. Got through law school, check.
I was checking boxes and not thinking about who I was gonna be and in the book
I talk about some of the things that made me wake up. [Bruna] The truth was all
Michelle wanted to do was to make a difference, she wasn't aware of it right
away. It took the loss of her Father and the
constant questions from her boyfriend about her deep aspirations to realise
she wanted to use her education, her experience, and her perspective, to make a
positive impact. She discovered that the best way to do this was to work for a
non-profit now imagine this you're nearly 30 you're a highly paid lawyer
you have six hundred dollars to pay every month into your student loans on
top of your other bills, you haven't bought your flat yet, you're on the edge
of starting a family, and your husband who carries the same debt doesn't earn much
because he too doesn't fancy to be a corporate lawyer. Now, would you take that
jump into the unknown? She did. And here's how she turned her 9 to 5 into a
true 9 to Alive career. Step number one: she had to admit to herself that she
hated her job, and that was the most difficult part. But as she came to
understand, 'you have the right to change your mind, oh gosh yes'. Step number two:
she had to understand who she wanted to be, and how she wanted to impact the
world. So she pinpointed all the causes she was
interested in, like teen pregnancy education, black self-esteem and voilá.
Direction set. Step 3, she networked and sent CV's to all those who could give her
advice on how the nonprofit sector worked, what careers were available and how
people got them. And that started an inspiring chain of reactions that
landed her in what look like custom-made roles where she
could make use of her experience, her struggle, her education, her perspective
and it didn't happen by coincidence. And here's is an important lesson, bringing who
you are into what you do requires that you know yourself so well and that you
only follow up what we truly resonates with you. Step 4:
she went to those interviews not only to answer questions, but also to examine the
environment and to check that it would resonate with her and here's another
important lesson, to feel truly fulfilled you need to find a place of work that
makes use of all you have to offer, ensure you base your research on this
principle so you don't risk caging yourself in. Step 5:
she got rid of all the unnecessary expenses in order to be able to afford a
lower salary. Now let's investigate that properly, is it true that a more virtuous
job equals low salary? During her job search Michelle was offered a role as an
Executive Director at Public Allies, an exciting new startup devoted to training
talented people to become leaders of nonprofit organisations. How cool is that?But
with a family to raise at that point Michelle simply couldn't afford a lower
salary. Did she turn the offer down? No. She negotiated! She openly shared her
concerns about her debt, and guess what? They managed to secure extra funding to
bring her on board. You see, you get the ball rolling and things unfold. Last
lesson here, know your worth. If you're not happy with the salary offered prove
you are the best for that role, and be prepared to negotiate. And here's a
question for you, do you know your worth? Are you confident enough to negotiate?
Let us know in the comments below. In part 2 we are going to turn Michelle's
experience into action points for you to follow. Don't miss it! And if you want to
explore how you can follow in Michelle's footsteps, check out all the not-for-profit
roles available on CharityJob, the UK's biggest job site specialised in the
not-for-profit sector. Subscribe to our channel so you won't miss any tips on
how to turn your 9 to 5 into 9 to Alive. See you in the next

What Are The Best Technical Indicators For Swing Trading? - Duration: 18:07.
What are the best indicators for swing trading hello traders, hello traders
The title of this video is what are the best indicators for swing trading.
Let's start reasoning first about the question after that I will show you an example.
Truly, swing traders use MACD indicator, stochastic oscillator, moving averages,
RSI indicator, CCI and many other technical indicators.
If one masters the CCI indicator, one can use it for swing trading.
However if one is more competent in using moving averages,
one will prefer them.
In my experience, there is no better technical indicator than the naked price
action itself.
It has not equal.
Above all the price action does not hide anything and it is the leading
technical indicator that one will ever come across in the financial markets.
If one wants to buy or sell in a timely fashion, one must use direct
trading signals.
A direct trading signal is a price action signal.
That is why technical traders
that are using candlestick patterns, Elliott wave patterns and predictive
fractal patterns are far ahead of those that are relying on ordinary technical indicators.
Indeed every other technical indicator gives signals but those signals must be confirmed
by the price-action because they are just warnings.
Take for example MA 50 crossing above MA 200 on
the daily chart.
It is a warning that that the bullish momentum is likely to increase but it is not set in
a stone.
Otherwise, everyone can trade successfully.
That bullish momentum is validated when the price forms a higher low at a support level
above the intersection point of the two MAs.
So at the end of the day it does not matter which technical indicator one is using, it
is more to do with whether one is using the technical indicator more efficiently and one
also confirming any warning with the price-action.
The warnings are signals given by technical indicators.
Yes one can use any technical indicator as a swing trader successfully if one also knows
how to adhere to the trading drill.
The swing trading drill is about finding first a high probability swing trade, then wait
for the signal on the signal time frame and entering the trade on the entry
time frame.
To cut all nonsense, the best technical indicator for swing trading is the whole price action,
nothing but the price-action.
Please do not feel overwhelmed by what I have just said.
It may be challenging for beginners to fully master the price-action trading
but slowly but gradually, technical traders who just want to understand the message that
the price-action and price structures are sending out will reach that level as they
continue to learn to interpret the price-action.

WHAT I EAT IN A DAY » Vegan, Easy, Realistic + Recipes - Duration: 5:55.
Hey guys, welcome back to Simple Happy Zen, its Vera and for this video today
I thought I would do something different and show you what I eat in a day. Since I always enjoy watching these videos for
inspiration. I thought it'd be fun to make one myself. I eat very differently every day
So for this video, I recorded everything that I ate yesterday and that's probably very different from what I'm having today or tomorrow
I didn't leave anything out. My diet is very easy and simple and down-to-earth
I don't really like those complicated meals that take hours of planning
So let me know what you think in the comments give the video a like if you enjoyed it
I really appreciate it and let's begin
So I started my day with a bowl of oatmeal and I make it differently every time depending on what's in my kitchen and
Also a glass of water which is what I try to start every day with but I still forget about half the days
During the morning, I had a few more glasses of water and some tea, this was green tea. And then at 11:00 a.m
I had a snack, and it's called Onbijtkoek. It is a typical Dutch thing
It literally translates to breakfast cake, but it's not cake and we don't have it for breakfast either
It's kind of like gingerbread. It's really spicy. It has cinnamon and nutmeg those kinds of spices and it's super delicious
I don't have this too often because it does have some sugar but every once in a while
I really like it and I have it with vegan margarine
Then at 1:30, I had my lunch and I made a super delicious
Spicy hummus sandwich. We Dutch people really love our bread and that's what I had today as well
For dinner, I had this eggplant and chickpea curry and this is actually a recipe from Madeleine Olivia
If you don't know who she is, then I highly recommend checking out her channel
She has amazing vegan recipes and this one is just great as well
After dinner I had this fennel tea and decaf coffee
Later that night. I had a snack of two tangerines and some nuts with raisins and the nuts were unprocessed and unsalted
During the evening. I also had more chamomile tea and more water.
Over the course of the day I also took my supplements
I wouldn't recommend these for everyone but I noticed that I feel best when I take these supplements to complement my diet

What race ratings really mean and how we create them - Duration: 4:10.
Race ratings are all the rage,
but toss-up, tilting, leaning, maybe falling, likely, solid,
what does it all mean?
Sometimes all the terms remind me of that old V8 commercial.
So I thought it could be beneficial to explain how we do what we do.
First of all, where did ratings even come from?
While a few folks such as Kevin Phillips and Alan Baron dabbled with ratings going back
to the late 70s, the first person to make ratings a regular feature was Charlie Cook
back in April of 1984.
Stu Rothenberg followed suit in The Rothenberg Political Report a few years later, and the
rest is history.
Now it seems like everyone does ratings.
I can't speak to how everyone else does, but I can talk about how we do it at Inside Elections.
But before I disclose the secret sauce, it might be helpful to talk about how we don't
do it
(and it's an excuse to play some movie clips).
It's not magic potion or spell.
It's not a specific equation.
And it's definitely not from Twitter.
The reality is that it's usually just me in a darkened room with a 6-pack of Mountain
Dew listening to melodic death metal from Sweden
♪♪♪♪
OK, that's not quite right either.
There is no darkened room and I'm trying to cut back on the Mountain Dew.
In reality, there are many key ingredients to race ratings including:
Past election results District demographics, including partisanship,
race, and education Open seat vs. incumbent race
Challenger quality Incumbent strength
Fundraising and outside spending District-specific polling
National political environment And any unique dynamics, such as someone getting
indicted….hypothetically
When it comes to race ratings, I think there are a few key points that might be helpful:
We don't have a specific formula and factors are weighted differently in our analysis throughout
the cycle.
For example, early on, ratings are reflecting past election results, demographics and incumbent
strength.
But as the cycle progresses, candidate quality and fundraising matters more.
And, at the end of the race, it's almost all about district or state-specific polling.
Ratings are meant to evaluate a party's likelihood of winning and not an attempt to
predict the margin.
For example, in 2018, we never moved the Texas Senate race any more competitive than Likely
Republican- not because we didn't think Beto O'Rourke could get close, but that
he ultimately couldn't get enough votes to win against Ted Cruz.
Ratings are a combination of where a race stands and where it's headed.
If ratings were a mere reflection of current polling, then there wouldn't be any need
for ratings.
We try to look at the important factors and project where it is most likely to end up
on Election Day.
For example, in Tennessee, Democrat Phil Bredesen was leading Republican Marsha Blackburn in
polls into mid-September of 2018.
But we never moved our rating to anymore more competitive than Lean Republican.
And Blackburn won by more than 10 points.
Sometimes that look ahead also means not changing ratings with every burp and hiccup of a race.
I'd rather wait and identify the trend of the race than bounce it back and forth a bunch
of times.
And we do have a unique Tilt category, which is an attempt to not throw a bunch of races
into toss-up, but instead to try and identify a slight edge for one party.
Finally, ratings aren't set in stone.
One of the worst things we can do as handicappers is to put a rating on the race a year or more
from an election and be stubborn and not move it.
As the cycle evolves, so will our race ratings.
There you have it- a look behind the ratings curtain.
Now if you don't mind, I need a break.

Separates or Integrated Amps? What Does Your Home Theater Need? - Duration: 4:49.
So I've been asked by one of our customers to explain why on earth we should or he or
she should buy a separate amplifier and processor or amplifier and preamp rather
than a complete integrated amplifier that has the preamp and amp in one box or a
receiver that has everything. The processor preamp,
amplifier in one box. So basically there's a few reasons that we
recommend doing that to get the best performance from your system.
The first is with a modern home theater processor or receiver,
there is a lot of digital circuitry in those systems. Those digital circuits
produce noise and that noise inevitably, no matter how well designed,
at some small level, is going to get into the
amplifier section. If everything is driven from a common power supply and is all
in the same chassis or the same enclosure, which is exactly what you had
with a receiver. Once you split the amplifier from that,
even though you're running external cables, you isolate the power amplifier
by being on its own from that noise, from that potential to interfere with the
signal to the amplifier. It also has its own enclosure,
so it's immune to any radiated noise that may be coming through the air.
So that's one reason why there's a benefit. The other reason,
and I think the bigger reason, is that if you think about a typical home
theater receiver, you've got tons of circuitry. You've got an amazing amount
of complex electronics inside that box and they're all powered by, usually,
one power transformer. Now, that power supply to fit into the box
with all those other electronics and all those multitude of amp channels,
we're seeing now receivers with 11 amplifier channels in them.
They all have to share that common power supply and what will happen inevitably is
that some compromise has to be made to actually fit all that stuff in the box.
And the biggest components in any piece of electronics, like a receiver,
is the power supply. Particularly if it uses a traditional
transformer and capacitor rectifier power supply configuration.
So what does that mean? Why do I care? So the amps are in the same box and they
share that power supply. Well, that power supply usually will not
be overbuilt, and by overbuilt, I mean it's bigger than it needs to be so
that you can have dynamic headroom. Which means the amplifier can exceed its
maximum power specifications for short periods of time. When you have an external
power amplifier, that power supply has been designed and dedicated just to the
amplifier section itself. It's not sharing power with the rest
of the components. So what happens is that you can get better dynamic headroom
in most situations with that external amplifier. Now, if I don't listen
very loud, why do I care about that? Well, if you think about let's say movie
program material, you can have it a very comfortable listening level.
You can hear the dialogue well and as we know, in action movies and other films
like that, you can have a sudden explosion or a gunshot or something that
instantaneously requires in some cases 10 or 20 times the amplifier power then the
vocal tract that you were just listening to, or the voice track.
So what happens is that when those dynamics are reproduced accurately,
because you have that extra power on-demand on top for short periods
of time, it's clean, it's clear, and it frightens you,
and that's exactly what it should do. The movie mixers and producers have made
those effects louder so they startle you. So they get an emotional response
from you. If you have a system where you can't have that clean power available
because the power supply can't deliver more than the rated amplifier power,
the dynamics are going to be squashed. That means that special effect isn't
as impressive, it's not as scary, you don't have the same
emotional reaction, and it's just not as fun to listen to. So that's one reason why
we recommend in most systems beyond the certain level that if you can afford it,
a separate power amplifier is a very good idea to get that clean dynamic power.
Thank you.

What I Would Do If I Were 20 Again - Duration: 6:44.
Alright. So, this is kind of cool. We're going to go into a time machine.
I'm actually turning 40 years old later this year. Which I can't even believe.
like what would happen if I could go back to when I was 20 years old ?20 years
ago. Like what would I do different? I mean don't get me wrong. The journeys
been amazing. It got me here. But I kind of want to know if I could do it faster,
what would I do different? There are 3 things. There are 3 moments
that would have changed everything. And if I can keep you from making these
mistakes, then maybe you'll go even faster than I did. So, when I got my first
mentor, one of the things that he told me was, "Okay, Kris. This is where you're at.
You've been at your job for a year. You need to be there for another 14 months
to create the two years." So, my first mentor basically told me to wait 14
months. And during that time he said, "Hey, traditionally get yourself into a
primary residence." You need two years at your job.
He said, "You only have 2 credit cards. You should get another one. So, you should
have 2 to 3 credit cards." And then he said, make sure you keep your credit
clean. So, I was making good choices with my credit. And then the last one was,
"Kris, save up $5,000." Now, want to pause for a moment. This game plan did allow me
to buy my first house that kicked off my entire investment career. And honestly,
it's amazing looking back and seeing that that work. But you know I'm more
amazed at? I'm more amazed that I stuck with that game plan for 14 months. I mean,
can you imagine? 14 months of doing this and that's how you're going to make money
in real estate? Man, talk about the slow path. Talk about the patient path. I'm so
glad that when I work with young people these days, I'm not like, "Okay. I want you
to do nothing for 1 or 2 years." Like drive me nuts. If I could go back to the
beginning and I knew what I knew now, I'm telling you right now, that would not be
my game plan. These are good things to do but should you allow these things to get
in your way of investing now? No. Friends, waiting means that you're believing in
some excuses keeping you from taking action today. I don't care how young you
are. For those either like 18, 90, 20. And your parents are telling you that
you're too young. Or for somebody they're feeling like it's too late, you're too
old. Listen up. Bullcrap. It's garbage. Lesson number 1. Don't
wait. The second thing is that once I did get on a roll, couple years later, I
started finding deals left and right. And if I didn't have the money to do the
deal, I just let the deal pass by. So, I was finding good deals and I wasn't
taking action on them. I only took action on some of them. Knowing what I know
today, if there's a really good deal and you can't do it, do you realize that you
can give it to somebody else (It's called wholesaling) and they can
write you a fiver a $10,000 check saying, "Dude you did the legwork. I get that you
can't buy it. Thank you." But better yet, don't wholesale it. Bring a partner on.
Say, "You know what? I got this deal. I've done other deals. Will you do the deal
with me?" Partnering was actually something that I stumbled into. It was my
father-in-law that believed in me. And he actually offered to go in 50/50 and we bought
homes. And it was only a couple years after that that I realized that I could
actually bring on multiple partners. So, I did figure it out. Didn't pick it up in a
seminar, didn't learn it and of course. Didn't read in a book. I had to discover
it. If I could go back then I would take these good deals and I would start
partnering sooner. If you have a good deal, there's always money. That's the
lesson. So, before we move on to number 3, lesson number one, don't wait.
Lesson number 2, if you have a good deal, there's always money for a good
deal. And the third lesson is like the most brutal lesson. Like, I hate even
opening my mouth and saying this to you. Because I'm like... Listen, as well as off
as I am. I'm telling you right now, I've lost out on tens of millions of dollars
because of this one right here. Which is when I was finding all of these good
deals and I had more and more partners, I got to a point where I got so much
contentment that I didn't duplicate my results. I don't know what it is but
people do this sometimes. It's painful. It's like everything's working for you
and then you get distracted on something different. How many of you know what I'm
talking about. You get engaged with something. You're getting fruit, you're
getting results. And then you don't maximize it. You don't
optimize it. Dude, my world today revolves around optimization. And I feel like I'm
going back and I'm repenting for some really bad mistakes. Because you know
what? I wasn't duplicating my results that
we're successfully working. And now, I've put them on steroids so that I can be
duplicating as fast and as much as I possibly can. So, if this lesson says, "Don't
wait." This one says, "There's always money."
Here's what this last one is. This one is always continue doing what works. Friends,
if I could come back. Time machine popped back 20 years, those are 3
things that only I myself could teach myself today.
Hey, it's not too late for me because I did figure it out. I could have been more
effective or more efficient. But I'm inviting you to be faster than me. I'm
inviting you to create wealth more meaningful than me. I'm inviting you
to do something and surpass what my previous results are. And friends, these
are the 3 biggest lessons that I have learned. You know, I am... Worked with
the mentor once who had gone bankrupt twice. And I was hanging out with a
friend that said, "Why are you mentoring with that guy?" Like, "He's been bankrupt.
He's failed." And I looked at him I said, "I would rather mentor with someone that
has been on top of the mountain repeatedly and then has made decisions
that put them back down." Because they can teach you what works and they can also
teach you what? What didn't work? Today, I'm teaching my three biggest failings
from my past. But I'm also telling you that I'm standing today victorious on
top of the mountain. And I'm inviting you to join me on that mountain. Click the
link below in the description. Learn how you can mentor with me. This is just the
beginning of the journey. The reality is I can help you get where you want to go
way faster than I ever did. As long as you're open minded and teachable. It is a
screening process. My team is going to interview you. But hey, if you pass, then
it means I get to mentor you and I get to help transport you to the top of that
mountain. You do your part I do my part. And it's going to look awesome. Hey guys,

What Is 80/100 Grade Bitumen? & It's Applications - Duration: 2:09.
Hey guys, welcome to we civil engineers.
In this video, I'm going to teach you, What is the exact meaning of 80/100 grade
bitumen & why we need to classify the bitumen in different grades based on its penetration
value?.
An 80/100 grade bitumen indicates that its penetration value lies between 80 & 100.
Penetration value can be obtained by penetration test.
The penetration test measures the hardness or softness of bitumen by measuring the depth
in tenths of a millimeter to which a standard loaded needle will penetrate vertically in
5 seconds.
So, 80/100grade bitumen means this needle will penetrate, 8 mm to 10mm in 5 seconds.
The penetration test is a commonly adopted test on bitumen to grade the material in terms
of its hardness.
but why?
what's the need of grading?
Grading of bitumen helps to assess its suitability in different climatic conditions and types
of construction.
Let me explain to you this statement with examples.
suppose you have construct a road in a colder region then we prefer 180/200 grade to avoid
excessive brittleness.
And suppose you have to construct a road in a warmer region like tar dessert or somewhere
else.
then we prefer lower penetration grade to avoid softening.
When it comes to 80/100 grade bitumen, it is most commonly used bitumen for pavement
constructions.
It can be used in a normal condition where the temperature is not too much high or not
too much low.

putting up with my weirdness today we are going to talk about when you want to
do something and you're told no and you don't understand why it but darn it you
want to know why when I was little that was the most irritating thing that my
mom could ever tell me well because I said so really that's the reason because
you said so well I hear God say that to me an awful lot too and I can't look at
him like that I have to go hmm
I suppose there's a reason my mom had a reason to she just didn't always that
one it she just didn't always explain it to me and she didn't have to and God
doesn't have to so the verse that I am looking at today if you all want to get
out your Bible I'm trying not to wear my microphone today so I'm just sort of
like letting it hang out here by me if you don't mind hopefully can still hear
me the verse we are gonna look at today is in Isaiah and it is isaiah 55:8
through 11 so go get your babble go
got it open it up find Isaiah and then bow your head
because we're gonna say a really quick prayer please don't look at my gray
roots I don't have hair dye I gotta do it tomorrow it's not happening today
okay I told you not to look father God we love you so much God and I just come
to you today Lord and we just prayed that you would give us peace when you
tell us no God that there is a reason that you know more than we know God that
you know what we need and we don't always know what we need and so we thank
you that we can trust you in that God I pray that you speak through me in this
lesson father and that everyone who's watching would learn in their own way
exactly what it is that you want them to learn from this lesson father I love you
so much and just pray this in your precious son's name Amen awkward silence
sorry tell you the truth I forgot what I was supposed to say but now I remember
we're gonna read this this is God talking through the prophet Isaiah and
he says for my thoughts are not your thoughts and your ways are not my ways
for this is the Lord's declaration for as heaven is higher than Earth so my
ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts just as rain
and snow from heaven and do not return there without saturating the earth and
making it germinate and sprout the and providing seed to sow and food to eat so
my word that comes from my mouth will not return to me empty but it will
accomplish what I pleased and will prosper and what I send it to do now
let's think about this for a minute when I was little you know pretty much when I
was little and my mom said because I said so I was okay with it you know as a
little girl they were in care but when I was a teenager and she said because I
said so that would frustrate me more than anything but the truth is she knew
more than I know she knew what was better for
me she knew what I needed and God knows even more what we need we are his
children and he knows what we need and what we don't need and he knows that
what when he gives us what he gives us it's because it's gonna return to him
full it's not gonna return to him empty his words the Bible they he's producing
a crop in us like he is his word his seed has been planted in us and it will
not return to him empty because we read study and live by his words even though
we don't understand them sometimes we don't understand God why can't I do this
why can't I do that why why won't you let me why I mean right now like why am
I going through this what I'm going through like I just want to be you know
healthy again why well God knows the answer and he's saying to me you don't
need to know and there's nothing I can do about it because he knows what's
right it's I wrote in here some notes the plans of God and the plants of
people are vastly different so much so that we cannot even fathom his thoughts
and plans the Word of God accomplishes exactly what he wants it to the Word of
God is triumphant no matter what so if today you feel like God is saying
because I said so and it frustrates you just know that he knows better than you
and accept it he is our Heavenly Father he created us he knit us together in our
mother's womb he knows everything about us every thought we have every word that
comes out of our mouth every position that we've been in every person we've
talked to every friend we have every the number of hairs on her head he knows it
all and he knows what's best for us so when we feel like God is saying because
I said so we have to just submit to him and be okay with that and sometimes it's
hard but we have to do it we have we don't have another choice but but in
that waiting in that time of being submissive to him
read your Bible still read it and study it and learn it and
learn to apply it to your life because that's what he's doing when he said the
rain and the snow came down and it did not it had a purpose like there was a
purpose like it brought water to the earth which germinated the seeds and it
grew and fed people that's the same thing when God makes us wait when we are
being submissive to him and we are saying okay I know you know what's best
I'll wait that's what's happening when we're reading our word it's not going to
fail it's not it's going to produce a seed in us that's going to help grow
other people into Christ's followers so I hope that was really encouraging to
you today I'm so glad you're here and God loves you so much so much I feel so
privileged to be able to share with you some of the things that I feel in my
heart that God shares with me and I hope they are a blessing to you I
really do I really hope they're a blessing to you because God is so
amazing this is all for his glory and all for us to worship Him and love on
him and so thank you for watching I hope that you will tune in next Wednesday
