Good morning, cyber traders. Welcome on back here this Wednesday, February 23rd. Shortly after 9 a.m. Eastern time. Great to see Ray, Norman, Andrea, Leo, Patrick, Mark, Gary, all of us live inside Cyber Group. And hey, if you're joining us once again on social media, Facebook Live, or YouTube, welcome on back. So, folks, we do have a lot to talk about here today. Albeit, I will say, the pre-market's been a little slow. Been a little lackluster so far. Here we have the STRN trade, at least, making a slow gradual build up. This one ended up actually popping shortly after 8.30. Hey, we'll take it, right? How can we not? It's more of a level one or two stock, it seems like. Pretty inexpensive, but aside from saying that, it's got a really liquid order book, and that's exactly what makes it more of a level one trade. So, we're going to be talking about all about that coming up this morning in the phase two course later on this morning, right at 10.30 Eastern time for Ray and Kathleen, Kev, and Henry, Leda, Michael, all of us otherwise. The news out on STRN that led to this pop really quick, and she says STRN Stranding Company announces up to a $10 million buyback. All right, well, at least there's a headline. So, we'll start off by putting this on our morning watch list, but more than that though, I do want to at least show level four. We'll show book map briefly for this trade. I do want to jump right back to the INDO though. INDO, a stock that we had on our morning watch list yesterday, a stock that we have on our pre-market watch list once again this morning. So, that's making another big move. But STRN here, well, it looks like we ended up seeing an iceberg order get filled at 178. You know, this orange line denotes an iceberg order that was placed out there on the Yask, but here's the thing though.  So, in my opinion, so long as we continue to see more buying off of the 176, I'm led to believe that this can make another run. Does that mean it's going to be right now? No. Does that mean it's going to be at all? I mean, I hope so, but not guaranteed. So, at least just mark that 176 level. You know, if you'd like to also mark the 78 price, just wait for a little extra confirmation, that doesn't hurt for a level one trade, right? You know, it's not like this thing is making a 25, 30 cent pop on a minute bar, kind of like the INDO can. So, you know, this one's a little bit more volatile. The INDO from yesterday ended up making a beautiful pop and run after the market opened up. We did talk about this trade all throughout our Traders Talk workshop for all of a sudden, social media, YouTube and Facebook here today. We actually did that live for you folks on YouTube yesterday. We typically do that two or three times across the whole year on social media. You know, that's a workshop we do weekly inside our live trading room.  INDO though right now, obviously making a nice healthy push back up. We ended up seeing some selling on this trade off of 740 a bit earlier in pre-market. What I mean by that is seeing an iceberg order getting hit on the bid. So, with that, we need to make sure that this stock holds at least above 740 and from there to see it make another nice pop afterwards. So, you know, I'll show book map one more time and just for this trade here, this is the iceberg that we saw get filled off of 740. That's not the biggest order out there. It seems to be just around 8000 shares, 7000 or 8000 shares there. But, you know, hey, you don't want to make sure, you don't want to have history repeat itself. So, in this case, we got to make sure this slings right over the 740 and really runs off it. The more selling that we have at 740 and with it making lower highs, then we know what direction it's going to go in from that point. So, the sooner the better on this type of trade here for the INDO. But definitely, we'll put this back on our watch list right alongside the STRN. All right, gonna need some extra coffee with me today. Folks, let's go right from top to bottom though, because we have a bunch of other stocks at least that we could try and scan for, look through. You know, number one here is the 10 trade. I'll be honest, I'm going to skip over it right now. And if you can click on it yourself, you could tell why I'm going to skip over it here in just a second, right? But we did talk about that yesterday on a couple of other stocks, right? There we go, latest says buy out, exactly. Buy outs, do not move. Don't try and challenge that.  That's what I care more about here. The IMPP, I saw Norman coming back here, he picked up about 8 or 10 cents on this trade just a moment ago, got in from 104. So, he ended up getting out seemingly, I think he got out at 12, so 8 cents on the trade. Hey, great exit, ended up just topping off right around there, ended up pulling back. So, IMPP at least it's one that we're pretty familiar with now from yesterday's trading. This ended up making a big pot from like 65 up to near a dollar, then from there kind of backed off. But yeah, right now trying to move up higher here. So, again, the IMPP, it's hard for us to not put this on our watch list at least. All right, there we go. Actually, really quick, I appreciate Rich doing that on our YouTube channel right now, YouTube stream rather. If you check the comments section right there, he ended up just posting the link for that video right there. If you're on the recording already of this video, just go right to our YouTube channel, you'll see our latest Traders Talk workshop video. All right, so we have the IMPP, the REVB trade, RevB I was going to say. Stock just has been so lackluster so far, especially since 7.30 in the morning. At least it ended up making a really nice squeeze from the after hours yesterday. Gapped up, you could say a little bit higher in pre-market this morning, but since it's just been really flat. I don't know what led to this drop. I didn't see it pop up on Benzinga. I'm going to double check right now just because I got a little time, just curious to know. But when you see this type of stock make as big of a move as it made, and then it doesn't mean it's not exactly the same day, but sometimes it could be the day after a big run up. When you see a big drop like that, a lot of times it could be like a direct or common stock offering of shares. So I'm a little curious, just going to check. REVB increased. There's no news on it, even that led to the run up, which is pretty odd. There's nothing here that Benzinga has here. Oh, actually hold on, there is something. It looks like Roth capital for REVB initiated coverage on the stock with a buy rating and a $12 price target. All right, well, that's enough of a headline that led to this squeeze to begin with. As far as the drop here at 7 o'clock, I don't know. I was just curious, but either way it's been a really flat since. So that's something that's actually detracting me from this type of trade. I'm not as interested in trading this type of stock comparative to the STRN or INDO or the MPP even. That said though, it's going to be hard to not put this on our list. So I'll put this kind of towards the middle, maybe even near the bottom of our watch list. It does have great range given from the after hours into right now, just from low to high back down. So we can only hope to see another type of run back up after the open. And if so, then God bless, we'll take it. On my other chart here, on my other screen, I already ended up marking out this chart here. So I'm at least prepared to go on this trade, the REVB. You could say the same on a couple of the others here. OSTK. Now this OSTK trade is making a pretty familiar type of move for this stock, overstock. We ended up seeing this, and this had to have been like at this point now, like a year and a half, probably two years back at this point. This stock ended up making one of the biggest squeezes that we've ever seen, not just saying percentage wise, but in the sense of just day over day over day. We've seen stocks like BTU make great swing trades. This just comes to mind. And the more this ran up, the thinner the order book got. So, hey, maybe history could repeat itself just on a fractional level here. If this overstock trade could make a fraction of that type of squeeze that we had back a year and a half, two years ago, God bless. And it's starting to make a solid run right now. I would just be really careful though. I even called this out in pre-market and I said, hey, has really thin volume. I would really rather you folks wait for this to fill in a lot more, wait for the order book to fill in a lot more. It doesn't mean that you can't begin to prep it though, right? That's why I called it out. At least give it a look. And you know, if it's one that you feel that you'll be more likely to follow after 930, then, you know, start prepping. Look for the iceberg orders early on this trade. They might not be, you know, so common on the order book right now, but I would assume 45 to be a big level, 50 to be a big level ahead here the more this squeezes up. All right. So we'll keep it going overstock. We'll put on our watch list here. The STRN we already talked about. This one looks pretty good. And then we have a cheapy and MULN, not as big of a fan of the cheapies as much, REGI, 40 bucks. Just very spotty chart. You know, moved up nicely, I guess, in pre-market, you know, whatever the news is on it. You're just going to see if there's anything else looking better. The QNGY, she's talking about looking better. I don't know if this is better or what, but this daily chart is just out of whack. I mean, I guess it's good because it provides great volatility for us. You know, stock ended up dropping off from late Jan from like 10 to 650 or six bucks, ended up breaking much lower after that.   I wish the intraday chart looked better. This doesn't really look like the best intraday chart, but for right now, at least, I'll slip this on the watch list, the QNGY, the HIMS trade, H-I-M-S. I saw this early in pre-market. I opted not to put this on the pre-market watch list. Thankfully, I didn't because it's just only been spotty since not a whole lot happening there on the chart. Same with CLEU. The INDO trade going back to this, unfortunately, it's back under that 740, so I would be really careful at this point, folks. I was saying the sooner, the better on this type of trade. Not only did it break back under 740, but just held it as resistance. Be really careful on this trade now.  ANGH, former runner, not trading a whole lot of volume here so far in pre. We have NU, which is just kind of range bound right now. This could be on our side list. We've seen the stock make a runner, too, over the last couple of weeks. The TISI, this thing's just been a bust going into the pre-market or going into 8 o'clock. It was moving up quite nicely, just has done nothing since. I'm going to pass on it right now. If it pops after the open, then we'll try and react from there. All right. I've been waiting for this. Let's hop on over to the losers list, folks. We'll get the news out once more for the KOD trade. This is Kodiak Sciences, not KODK, KOD. So, Kodiak Sciences trading lower after the company reported top line results from the Phase 2B slash 3 study of KSI 301, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Study did not meet the primary end point. You know what KOD stands for, folks? Anybody know what KOD stands for? Wonder if there's any Godfather 2 fans here. Little Michael Corleone, kiss of death, and kiss of death. This thing got whacked. There was a hit put out on this trade here this morning. It seems like, geez, now keep in mind, I've had that off the tip of my tongue since 7.45 Eastern time. I've been waiting to make that joke. That's as creative as you'll get from me. So, for the next six hours, at least for all of us live inside the cyber group room, you're going to have to deal with my corny jokes going forward. So, I appreciate you being patient with that. But nonetheless, KOD, getting hit with the kiss of death here today. It's shortable. This stock is shortable. That's the crazy enough part about this. It's down 78% enough, certainly, to anticipate for a dead cap balance. Hey, maybe this stock does make a short, temporary recovery to where it can squeeze up to maybe 15. It's down enough. Why can't we expect that? But if that happens, and then should this begin to die off again, and I say that in the sense of the volume more than anything, I wrote that in the trading room chat board. Hey, if the volume begins to wane back down, and you know what direction this thing is going to come and go in again. So, this could be a really good short. Then it could also be a great long, depending on what happens within the first three to five minutes of the market opening up. That's why we need to wait, really, to kind of just see the true reaction coming up, and then for us to react from that point. So, respect the trend, follow the trend on the way down. Right now, at least, I would anticipate the next major level of support on the bid to be off of 10. So, KOD definitely going to put on our watch list here, the kiss of death. All right, so nonetheless, let's keep it going. I'm a Godfather 1 fan more than Godfather 2. But nonetheless, we keep going. VRT really flat. This thing was down as much as KOD at one point, but not a whole lot happening now. RXT, this one looks pretty good. Is it short? Right without a price range, trading 173K this morning pre-market, and a lot more from after hours yesterday. A little spotty on the intraday chart, but short of all, and at least trend to work with from the after hours. So, why not, right? RXT, cool. OCGN, top percent gainer yesterday, not top percent loser this morning. This is why we don't look to turn a day trade into a swing trade, folks. Can't buy the news. FDA, I think, released the hold on their COVID-19 vaccine trial. So, you'd think that could lead to a really nice squeeze up on this type of trade. I don't know if there's any follow-up news afterwards. It seems like this thing just had a giant drop from the after hours yesterday.  All right, we keep it going. Vips, this one was down enough in pre-market. It was trending down at least early. It's been pretty flat since. So, that's the gripe I have on it, but we're more familiar with this stock. This stock trades like 7.5 million shares on average every day, or on average at least. So, I know what's to say today. We'll definitely be trading a lot more than that, in my opinion. It is shortable. So, a little flat right now, but I'm sure after the open, we'll try and catch and move on this Vips trade.  Not really as much down that 5% or more. So, hey, if there's anything else that looks good, type it in the chat board and type it in the YouTube stream. Let me know. Wendy has DraftKings, which I was going to get to on my own end here. I saw it just pop up on Benzinga Pro. So, yeah, this thing is making a nice move here. Yeah, making a good push. So, just going to check to see if there's any news. We're going to put this on our list, regardless. I have a headline now from 7.14 Eastern time. So, that's not the cause of this pop per se, but at 7.14 Eastern, Citigroup maintained buy rating on DraftKings, but they ended up lowering their price target to 35. I mean, it's at 19.50 now, so that's still pretty far away. Yeah, I mean, DraftKings obviously looking really strong for right now. So, we'll put this back on our watch list here. This is also a stock. I ended up taking the sweet time to chart and prep and line up. So, I'm good to go on DraftKings. I'm good to go on the kiss of death. I'm good to go on the INDO, at least, otherwise. All right, folks. So, I think that just about wraps it up. I don't see anything on YouTube or Facebook live here otherwise. And then Wendy and Brian just called out DraftKings, which looks great. So, I think we're good to go, folks. If there is anything else, then hey, we'll look to call it out once the market does open. We don't need to have a big watch list. I feel like we have a really good list to begin with, and it's also relatively big for what it's worth. So, try and be very selective at the open, folks. Try and pick a couple out of these, maybe a few at most, and really focus on those upon the first three to five minutes. Because at least the less we could focus on, then the better ability that we could have to try and jump in one of these trades. If we're focused on eight stocks at the same time, it's going to be pretty difficult to focus on the finer, more important details of each of those in order to take the trade. All right, folks. So, just keep that in mind. Chuck Z here in the chat board says, DraftKings, Matt McCall is recommending. Oh, okay. So, I guess there's a little update on that, I guess. Matt McCall. All right. Cool. Folks, for all of a sudden, YouTube or Facebook live, I appreciate you sticking with me each and every day, and at least for this week each and every morning. I'm tagging for Fausto season Florida right now in business. So, if you have any questions, feel more than free to send on an email over to josh at ctutrading.com. That's my email. I had a couple already sent over from the end of yesterday, which I need to get back to at some point this morning. I'm sure after the smoking dust clears from the market open, I'll have more time to do that. So, at least for all of us inside the live trading room, Grant, Leda, Michael, Kathleen, Mark, Chuck, Brian, Wendy, Patrick, Dylan. Hey, folks, I look forward to talking to you all soon coming up right at the opening bell. Take care. I'm a cyber group member today.

Okay, so let's start with an important question.  It's almost a superfood is in the eye of the beholder, and I think we really have to be cautious with the term superfood at all. In general, superfood should be nutrient dense and calorie sparse. In other words, you pack a lot of great stuff into not a lot of caloric weight. For instance, the more polyphenols that something has, I consider the better the superfood it is. But there are some polyphenols in foods that have a lot of calories. So for instance, extra dark chocolate has a ton of polyphenols and cacao in and of itself has got some pretty great qualities as a superfood. But when you start adding sugar to that to make chocolate that you're probably going to eat, it may have an original ingredient of superfood, but it no longer qualifies as a superfood. Same way with coffee. There are so many great studies that the polyphenols in black coffee really qualifies a coffee bean, a coffee drink, black as one of the great superfoods that you can have, but if you then put several teaspoons of sugar and lots of junk and make a frappuccino out of it and ice it, it's now a 500 calorie sugar bomb that has nothing to do with the original ingredient. Plus, believe it or not, coffee bean is the bean of a berry and coffee fruit, the powder that we throw away for the most part, actually probably has far more polyphenols that are great for you than the coffee bean you're getting. Okay, so in general, nutrient-dense calorie poor is really one of the best ways to define a superfood. Okay, so now that you know what a superfood is, in my opinion, let's talk about some superfoods that you should probably never eat. Now one of my favorites is goji berries, and any of you who have listened to me in the past know that one of the most momentous moments in my young career as a nutritionist was touting goji berries, because they've got so many cool polyphenols, and I was actually on the phone with Lauren Cordain, the Colorado State professor who truly is the father of the paleo diet, and I was telling him how great goji berries were, and he said, don't you read the literature? And I said, well, you know what I do? Of course I do. He says, no, I'm going to send you two papers to show you what in the dingdong was wrong with goji berries, and these papers in humans actually showed that people consuming goji berries actually had more inflammation. So why? Well, it turns out that goji berries are from the United States. They're from North America. They were called the wolfberry, and they are a nightshade in the same family as tomatoes and eggplants and peppers, and I got news for you. You don't peel the skin off a goji berry now, do you? So that's why goji berries are unfortunately not the superfood they're cracked up to be. Now there are some similar fruits that do qualify as a superfood. Right now, in most parts of North America, mulberries are coming into season. Mulberries, I have some of the coolest polyphenols that you can possibly imagine. I prefer you to use mulberry powder, but this is the time to eat mulberries. Soon in the fall pomegranates will be available, and no, please don't drink pomegranate juice. It's pure sugar. But pomegranate and the oil in the seed has some of the greatest compounds that you will ever encounter. Much better choices. Wheatgrass. I see this all the time. Now just remember that wheatgrass, the idea that we should actually be consuming wheatgrass, start at the Hippocrates Institute in Florida, and I have several patients who were former staff members there, and the idea originally was in people with cancer who were coming there, one of the ideas was to try and make cancer patients throw up. And the founder noticed that when dogs want to vomit, they eat a lot of grass. And sure enough, as anyone knows, it will make a dog vomit very effectively. So they got the idea that grass makes people vomit. And in fact, wheatgrass is a very powerful source of gluten and gluten-like proteins, as is barleygrass, as is ryegrass. So please read the labels of your green drinks or your superfood drinks. And if you see the word wheatgrass or barleygrass or ryegrass, please run the other way. I have so many patients on a gluten-free diet who do not know that there is gluten-like materials in wheatgrass, and they have celiac disease, and when we take their green drinks away from them with wheatgrass, that was the thing that flipped the switch and made them no longer celiac. Want a better option? Moringa. Moringa is often called a superfood for very good reasons because Moringa is edible, it has a high amount of protein in the leaves, and Moringa is your new wheatgrass. And Moringa is readily available, and look for it wherever you can find it. One of my favorite, chia seeds. Chia seeds have lectins, I'm sorry folks. Chia seeds are from South America and Central America, and they do contain a lectin. Now the great news is there's something a whole lot better that works even better than chia seeds, and that is basil seeds, sweet basil seeds. They actually plump up faster, they don't have a lectin, and they have some fantastic health-promoting compounds in them, polyphenols that chia seeds do not contain. And so if you're looking for the chia experience, please get yourself basil seeds. They're really cheap, you can get them on Amazon, I shouldn't tell you that because now I probably won't be able to get any, but they are just fantastic for every place you would consider using chia seeds. How about quinoa? Now quinoa also is a South American pseudo grain, yes, the Incas use quinoa, they used it as a major grain fuel source, but the Incas did not just throw quinoa in a bucket of water and boil it. They soaked quinoa first, then they allowed it to rot, they fermented it, and if you listen to me enough, fermentation is a very effective way of diminishing the lectin content of any food. Bacteria like to enjoy eating certain lectins, and so bacterial fermentation of quinoa made it then much less harmful to them, and you don't see the idea of fermentation on the package directions. Now there's a much better alternative to quinoa and that's millet or sorghum, neither of these have a hall, they don't have a lectin, and you can use them really interchangeably any place you'd use quinoa. So please stay away from those ancient superfoods. And while I'm on it, ancient grains, I see this all the time, this is made of ancient grains. Well, number one, grains aren't very ancient in the human diet. We've only been eating grains for about 10,000 years. Rice has only been around for 8,000 years. And if you think that ancient grains are any more helpful, let me remind you that the Iceman, the frozen man found in the Northern Italian Alps, who is about 5,000 years old, who was riddled with arthritis, and apparently a fairly young man, he had ancient grains in his pocket of his wrap. And I got news for you, that's where he got his arthritis. So there's nothing ancient about grains that make them any more healthy. They are not. So just when you see that buzzword made from ancient grains, they're going to make you ancient sooner than you would want. Okay, so here's another myth I want to address. And this keeps coming up, particularly in my patient population. Some people think that if a starchy food doesn't have lectins and it appears on the yes list, then it's okay for them to eat and to eat in abandon. So let me explain why that's not true. So remember that a resistant starch or a starch is eventually going to turn into sugar. And how fast that starch becomes sugar is predicated, really, on how fast that you actually digest those starches, those long sugar molecules apart. So it's one thing to, let's say, take a tarot root, cassava, and cook a cassava. And eat it whole. And it's quite another thing to grind that cassava into a fine flour and then use it as a flour. What you've done in the process of mechanically breaking those starches down is you've broken those starches into finer and finer and finer molecules so that you're able to digest those starches quickly, as if they were sugar. And food companies have known this for a very long time. We didn't know they were doing it. So for instance, you can take whole grain wheat or whole grain oats and pulverize it with a Swiss roller mill and make it into ultra fine starches, after all, wheat's mostly starch. And you will absorb that faster than if you actually ate straight sugar. And it will go into your bloodstream as glucose faster than if you ate straight sugar. So I see so many of my patients say, oh, look, you know, cassava chips, those are fine. Or plantains, they're fine.  And when they come in, number one, they've gained weight. Number two, their triglycerides are up. Remember, we convert these things first into triglycerides.  And they're shocked because they're eating safe foods. Well, they're not safe if you adulterate them into something that they originally weren't. So buyer beware, you're getting that plantain chip to dip it into guacamole as a way of getting guacamole into your mouth.   And I just see it all the time.  So beware, just because it's lectin-free doesn't mean it's safe to eat in abundance. Our amazing episodes, just like this one, watch now.


Okay, no, please don't. I don't know who's asking you to do this, but strangling your penis in order to control nightfall or any kind of ejaculation for that matter is really not a good idea. So there's a story of a man called Boston Corbett who lived in America in the 1800s and one day he encountered these two sex workers and the way they were looking at him, the way they were dressed. He found himself getting an involuntary erection and he was so angry with himself for feeling like this that apparently he went straight back home, took a pair of scissors and he chopped off his testicles. Now when I tell you the story, your first reaction is, oh my god that's demented, that's crazy, why would he do that?  You know, I completely understand that you may want to be celibate, maybe you don't have sex, maybe you don't want to masturbate and that's absolutely fine. That is your choice to make, but you have to remember two things. Arousal is the most natural and the most involuntary instinct of the human body. You are going to feel it whether you like it or not. As human beings we are lucky enough to have a brain that permits us to make choices, so make that choice. Don't do anything about the arousal.


Right. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to a new week. Let's just begin this time with a word of prayer and then we'll get into our teaching. Let's pray. Father, we thank you so much for yet another week you've given us Lord and even as we come together to learn from your word of God, we pray that you will speak and minister to our hearts. Lord, that we open our hearts to you, God, that we receive everything that you want to speak to us, Lord. And Lord, we just surrender this day. Everything that we're learning of God may be fruitful in each of our lives, God. And we ask this in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Amen. Alright, so we'll get into chapter 3. And so what I just realized is I think we'll need to pick up a little bit of pace because we have quite a lot to cover. So we'll get into chapter 3 and we'll talk about right workplace attitudes. Right. So last week, we looked at career, right? How the Lord can lead us into different careers. There are transitions that he takes us into. Now, when you and I are in a workplace, right, whatever it is, it could be something that you've just joined, something you're interested in, not interested in. Our attitude, right? Workplace attitudes is what will carry us through. I'm sure you heard that saying, right? Your attitude will determine your altitude. Your attitude will determine your altitude. That means how high you will reach, right? Attitude is basically the way you look at things. And the best example is you take a glass of water and just put half a glass of water in it. And you ask people, what do you say about this? Some will say it's half empty. Some will say it's half full. That's what attitude is.  Right. And so it is very important. It's very critical as people in the workplace or in ministry to have the right attitude. The moment our attitude is towards something is very, you know, you just look at it as okay, it's okay. It doesn't matter attitude. Then there's something wrong. We need to correct it. And so we look at what are some of the right workplace attitudes that are required for us as believers and also how we can develop these attitudes. I'm not saying that the moment we start working, we will have all the right attitudes. When I joined the workplace working in a corporate sector, I didn't like it. It's not like I enjoyed going to work. But I knew that if I have to be good at what I'm doing, I cannot have this attitude. So there are changes that we will have to make. And remember that not all work environments are the same. For example, APC as an organization works with a certain environment. There's a certain environment. Now you may have other churches or other organizations. They have a different environment. And it's not only the workplace. If you look at Bible college, APC Bible college has a certain work environment. And the way we do things, we do it in a certain structure. There may be other colleges which have a different environment. So every place it's different. But we must understand that there will be people who there'll be hostile. They will try to undercut you. They will try to put you down. There will be gossip. There will be all kinds of things happening in an organization. Why? Because all of us are people. None of us are robots. We all are people. We have these natural feelings and it's natural. One of the things that you and I will while making this professional journey, one thing that we must do is we must have the ability to maintain good attitude, regardless of what is happening around us. And you see for example, Paul and Silas were thrown into prison. And they had so many reasons to cry and to say, God, why is this happening to me? It's all the attitude. They said, no, we'll choose to do this. But could they have cried? Yes. There's nothing wrong.  And now we're sitting in prison. Look at people in the Old Testament. They went through so many challenges. But the attitude is what matters. Look at Moses. In the chapter where he goes to, I forget the chapter, but he goes up to the mountain and what does he say?  Now, Moses has seen enough of God's glory. He has seen miracles. He has seen God working so powerfully. But he says, no, God, I need to see more. I need to see you. So our attitude must not change regardless of what is happening around us. People will ridicule us. People will make us feel happy. The same people who put you up on the pedestal will stand on you. It's going to happen. And if it doesn't happen in a workplace, that's good. When Jesus, remember Jesus was coming on the donkey, what did they say? What did they say? Hosanna on the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord with the palm leaves and all of that. We celebrate it. After that, we celebrate what? Good Friday. Why? Because the same people said crucify him. Same people. Same people. So there will be time. People change. But our attitudes, we can make sure, you know, Jesus didn't change his attitude because, hey, they said this. So now I'm changing. So how can we understand this? Remember, number one, attitude is a choice. It's a choice. It's a choice we make. I'm going to look at this situation in this way. Even though everything around me is against me, or everything, everyone around me feels that I'm not capable enough, or I'm just standing here, God, with an empty hand. Our attitude is our choice. You can say, God, I know that you're going to do something for me. I'm going to trust in you. Or I can say, God, I didn't expect this to happen to me. Why did you let this happen to me? You see that choice is there? It's a choice that we have. Right? And it is how you decide to act or react. And so attitude is contagious. Give me one example where you feel attitude is contagious. Think about this, right? Sorry? Wrong attitude. Yeah. So when I talk about attitude, it's good and bad. What is, okay, let's take good one. Let's take one good attitude and a wrong attitude that affected choices of the people around them. Let's take the wrong attitude first. Sorry? Jealousy. Yeah. Now, give me examples from the Bible. It's all very good. It's a wrong attitude, right? But sorry? Balam? Yeah, wrong attitude. I'll give you another example. I'm looking for this because it's there in my mind. Moses, he brought the people out of Egypt. What did the Israelites sing? Praise the Lord. He brought us out of Egypt. They were singing and happy. Now, suddenly Moses has gone up the mountain. What happened? One or two people in the, I mean, maybe a whole team of people, they said, okay, Moses is not going to come back down. Let's build a calf and do something else. You see how the attitude changed? The choice immediately changed. And then Moses came down the mountain. He said, whoever is on my side, come this side. Again, the choice changed. Right? Our attitude can affect the people around us. Look at Shadrach, Misha can embed and go. Three of them will throw you in the fire. Imagine one of them said, I don't want to die. I have I want to get married. I want to have children.  Okay, I'll bow down. It could have affected the others. But they're all three students strong. Right? So always remember your your attitude will affect the people around you. Right? Let's look at a few points, right? I'm on page 30 on your books. Your attitude always determines your altitude. Daniel chapter six and verse three. Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the governors and satraps because an excellent spirit was in him. And the king gave thought to setting him over the whole realm. Look at that. Daniel stood out because he had an excellent spirit. Now Daniel six is when, you know, you have Darius, the third king. He's a third one who's coming in. The kingdom of Babylon was divided into two. And now the Medes and the Persians are there. And Darius is the king. Darius says Daniel stood out because probably he looked at Daniel and he said, Daniel, you only look after the things that are happening in the government. Why? Which is an excellent spirit in you. Right? The enemies were looking for his enemies. So Daniel's enemies were looking for ways to get him out. But the king was considering not only to keep him but to promote him. Now picture this. You have four, five people there. Oh, okay. So now since we are in the government, they're saying now we'll try to get this fellow out. He didn't bow down to the Babylon to the god, the statue. He's doing everything the way he wants to do it. So now is the best time Babylon is divided. Now there's going to be new government new rulers. So we get this Daniel out of here. This is what people are thinking. But when King Darius saw Daniel, he said to Daniel we'll not only keep you, we'll promote you. Your attitude will determine your attitude. How you look at things.  That sets you apart. Why must I choose Daniel? Or why must I choose these other people? Maybe Shadrach, Meshach and Abed to go over the others. Why must I do it? There should be a reason. Yes or no. As a leader in an organization, I must have a reason for me to choose somebody. For example, one of the causes of ministry that we do is the life group ministry. So we appoint life group leaders. Why is it that we choose these leaders? There's something in their life. There's some we can see it outside. There's a grace, there's a gift, there's a calling. Yes? Right? And so our attitude towards that, towards our grace, our gifts, our calling will determine our attitude. The more you look at things in a small way the more our attitude will be in a smaller way. The more you look at things which are important in a higher way, it will begin to raise us. I remember when I was in Bible college, I used to keep preaching. I used to keep preaching and always we had this 15, 10 minutes break. We do 5 minutes sermon. That's when we make him sit, okay, translate. 5 minutes sermon. And they used to get so irritated with me. They used to always, all the students get so upset. He's not going to keep quiet. Do you think I care? I don't care. And so we would walk up to the hostel, right? It was like a 20 minutes walk.  He's going to keep preaching on sermon all the way till there. He has no other work. I know they don't care. Do you think I care? They didn't bother me at all. Why? Because I knew one day I will stand up. I will do it. This is what I have to do. At times they were giving out pamphlets in the streets. They would give out pamphlets and go to outreach. So some of the guys would go and they would sleep in the hostel. So many times me and maybe two or three of us would go and we would just be hot and empty pockets. We would be giving out pranks. I knew that my attitude towards this is important. Is it a big thing? No. Will people stand and clap? Oh, Paul has gone for capitalism. Very great job. Nobody is there to clap. But when we look at these small things and your attitude towards that is right, it's a good attitude.  It gives you a higher attitude. Understand? So look at the small things and do it well. People will want you in your team. That's a good feeling. I want you. You come. You be in my team. It's such a good feeling and then you become a leader and then you say, hey, you come. You be in my team. That's a good feeling. Why? It has not come out just like that. It's because of your attitude. How you looked at things. Right? Second one, do all for the glory of God. First Corinthians 1031. Therefore, whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. So motivation is important. How many of you are not motivated? I can say none. Why? If you're not motivated, you wouldn't have been there on this call or you wouldn't have been here sitting here. You have maybe 10 other things you could do. But you're motivated. There's a reason you're here.  There's a reason. Why? There's a motivation and our motivation is what drives us. It inspires us, stimulates us and keeps us going. Now, not always, remember in our professional life or in ministry, not always people will motivate you. When people motivate you, it's good. You feel encouraged. You feel, hey, yes, I can do it. But in a world that we live in, the reality is not everyone are going to motivate you. So what do you do that then? You motivate yourself. You say, no, I'm going to do this. I love the psalmist, David, no? He's so powerful. What does he say? He says, bless the Lord o my soul and all that is within me, bless his holy name. And there are so many psalms where he's running away from Saul. He's running away from his life. How long will it take for Saul to find him? He can find him in any time. But he's saying, God, my heart is, my spirit is broken. I feel weary. This is how I'm feeling. But Lord, I know that you are with me. Who was there with David that time? Anybody was there? Nobody was there. What did he do? He motivated himself. He said, God, I know I can just picture this. David is sitting in one of those caves and he's saying, I killed Goliath. I went and helped Saul. I played the guitar also for him when he is possessed by, oppressed by the devils and now he's coming to kill me.  Go back to doing what I have to do. Finish, end of story. But what drove David? He said, probably he said, no. When all those thoughts came, he may have said, no, no, no, no. I remember the prophet Samuel. He came. All my brothers were standing in line, but he chose me. So God has anointed me to be the king of Israel. I'm not going to give up. That's called motivation. It's easy to give up during difficult times. Motivation, you are empowered by God. When you say to yourself, I'm going to do this, God empowers you. He gives us the strength. He says, push on. Don't give up in between. We must be motivated to glorify God in all that we do. So to do everything we glorify God and we find this as the greatest motivator in our life. God, to me, this looks very difficult. One thing I know you can do it in my life and let me let it be to glorify you. We have plenty of examples in the Bible. David, Joseph, Daniel, Abraham, Jacob, all these wonderful men of God. They did it for the glory of God. And when you... Let's go here. You are empowered to carry his name. You represent him. You display his wisdom, his excellence, his virtue and greatness through your work. Look at that. You display his wisdom, his excellence, his virtue and his greatness. So when you and I are motivated to work and do what God has called us to do, we display all of these. We begin to exalt him. People look at us and say hey, good job.  That one sentence is bringing glory to God. Remember last week we talked about that boxer world champion. There are people from different sports who are world champions. They say I did this for the glory of God. There was a time in Brazil where the team of the Brazilian soccer team, they were all believers. I think it was the early 2000s if you had followed soccer. They would all wear those bandanas saying I love Jesus. The Brazilian team was a team which never cheated. They never caused any faults and fouls and they won I think three continuous world cups. They all said it's because of God. So whenever we do, when we say this is to glorify God, it brings honor to God. Let's go to the next point. Keep your ambition kingdom minded. Very important. Even as we prepare, even as we continue our work in the Lord or we are serving God or in the workplace, keep your ambition kingdom minded, kingdom focused. I'm doing this yes. God has asked me to work. I have to provide for my family. I have to be there. I have to work and God will bless the work of my hands. But even as I do all of this, my main intention is to build the kingdom of God. Now there's a thin line as believers. We must understand this. We must never go overboard. Never say I will not work. God will provide all my needs. That is silliness. I can never say I will only work and I will do it myself. That is foolishness. You get that thin line, right? We must work. I'm going to say, God, whatever I've achieved, it is because of your grace and your gift.  So when we do that, we are being kingdom focused. Here, Matthew 6 33, very common verse, but seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all the other things shall be added unto you. So what is our top priority? Building God's kingdom. Being kingdom focused. Now, I do understand. Some of us may ask, how could I build God's kingdom when I'm 9 to 5 in an office? 9 to 5 sitting in an office. How am I building God's kingdom?  Because who gave you that job? Your degree? Your certificate? God gave it. When God gives, when you say, God, whatever I'm doing, let it glorify your name, you're kingdom focused. It becomes the focus of our dreams, our goals, our pursuits, everything that we wish to become and accomplish professionally, spiritually, whatever organization, whichever sphere of influence we are working in, we can be kingdom focused. Right? Fourth one. Next point. Always remember, there is more to life than just making money. Yes? There is more to life than making money. Let's read Proverbs 11, 28. He who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will flourish like foliage. You know, making money is not wrong. Is it wrong to make money? Without money we can't do anything. Yes or no? There will be no APC Bible callers if there is no money. Right? We are not saying, oh, we are God is going to know. Money is important. But we must remember that everything in life is not about money. Right? Sometimes we see people, they want to grow up in the corporate ladder. Okay, now I'm a team leader. Then I want to become an assistant manager. Then I want to become a manager. Then I want to become an area manager. Then I want to become a senior manager. Then what? General manager and assistant to CEO and become the CEO. Which is good. But when I only focus on that. So for example, this young man, he's maybe in his early 30s. He's now a manager and he says, before I become 40 I should become a CEO. So he's got 10 years. But in those 10 years, he's only focused on money. When I get to that position, that is the money that I will use to buy this, buy that, but nothing wrong. But even when you focus, we need to understand that there are other things in life. Imagine this person is a Christian or a believer and he's saying, no, Sunday I can't come to church. Why? Because it's a full day. I can work. I can do something. I can prepare some reports and do that additional work because one day I have to become a CEO. Is that right or wrong? Right or wrong? Now he's missing church. He's missing fellowship with God and he's saying because the whole day will go in church, so I don't want to use that for something else. That's when your priorities are changed. There's more to life. There are meaningful relationships. There are serving people, solving problems, fulfilling your divine purpose. When we look at what is happening around, there are plenty of stories of people who are making so much money, but they're still empty in life. Money is not going to satisfy everything. With money, you cannot buy a relationship. Can we? We can do a lot of things. We have that saying, money can't buy happiness. But now there are these youth and somebody sent me this message. Money can buy happiness. This guy is sitting in a luxury car and he's saying money can buy happiness. How long will he sit in that car? Once he goes to the traffic, there's no happiness. All the happiness is gone. So remember that fulfilling God's purpose, glorifying God, there's something more to life than just making money. Now the flip side is I don't want money. God is the creator of money. He will put money in my account. He will not put money into anybody's account.  Very simple. So we balance it out. Remember God is your master. Money is your slave. You serve God and he will follow. And that's true. The moment you're saying, okay, God, these are the things I want to do and I want to do it to glorify you. God will make a way for you. God will send people. God will bring people to give into your ministry or your organization, whatever you're doing. We don't have to stand with a bowl. Can you please fund us? No need. Right? Yes, there are times when, you know, when you look at towns and villages we may, you know, we want funding and all of that is okay. But I'm saying it's, what I'm trying to say is money is not the center of everything. You wake up in the morning, ah, how much is in my account? So I have to make it another three digits extra. And then there's something wrong. We've got to change it. When you wake up in the morning, the first thing must be God, I thank you that I can breathe. Thank you for this life. That's the first thing that should come up. That means we've got our perspectives right. And out of that comes everything else. Right? So just reiterating, making money is not wrong, but the perspective is important. Right? If making money becomes a soul activator, then we end up violating rules. We use, you know, your crooked means, we hurt people, we this bribery, extortion, all kinds of things can happen because making money is in the center of our mind and our heart. When God is the center, we'll think, okay, God this is right. So this is something that I will not even step into. Right? Using crooked means, violating rules, it's not something that you would love me to do as your child. So I will stay away from it. Right? Fifth one, very important, always walk in the fear of the Lord. Proverbs 15, 16, let us a little with the fear of the Lord, then great treasure with trouble. Now to walk in the fear of the Lord is to walk in reverence and to walk in honor. Right? It doesn't mean that whenever we're praying, we have a fearful, oh, your God is coming to come now. No, that's that's not what it means. The fear of the Lord is basically reverence and honor. So I can be for example, I can be in my room locked in the room with my laptop. Everyone know me as the person who's a holy person. But if I'm for example, this person is locked in the room with the laptop but there's nobody who can question him. There's a choice what I can watch, what I don't have to watch. Now here comes the fear of the Lord. What is the fear of the Lord does? No. As a believer this is something that I must not do. Why? Because God is watching me. That is called fear of the Lord. And it doesn't need to be such a, you know, it could be small things. You know, I remember when I was in I was in beast, Bible call as a student. My responsibility was to make tea for all the students. So tea time is 7 a.m. So I would wake up very early in the morning, finish prayer finish everything by six thirty. I'll freshen up and be ready to get into the kitchen and start making tea. So we would put, you know, maybe three liters of milk and we would carry, we would have tea and then we would carry it for the first break. Right? First break. And so we would make that tea. I would make that tea. Many times I say go make your own tea. It felt like that. I can't do that. Why? Because that is my responsibility. Right? It is something that a responsibility that's given to me. Now if they didn't drink tea, doesn't mean they'll, you know, they can't survive. They can survive. But I knew it's my responsibility. It's something that I have to do. Right? And I would always think, you know, what if Jesus was there in my batch? Always I kept saying that to myself. What if Jesus is in my batch and he doesn't have tea? Right? Jesus is going to come and sit, make tea. Many times, you know, we finish eating. You should wash the plate and keep. You can just leave it there. I'm going to wash it later. So what if Jesus has to eat next, that same plate? Sit and scrub it. Okay, Jesus, eat nice. I wash the plate well. And these things have, it came over time. I just had to tell myself. It was not easy. Right? But the fear of the Lord. Okay, God, you know, afternoon session, you know, during our time, afternoon sessions, we had word studies and so it was one to two lunch break. Two to three. Three to three, 15 break. Three 15 to four 15 session four. Four 15 to four 30 break. Four 30 to five 30 worship and prayer. Right? So that was our day worship and prayer. We rushed to the hostel. Just freshen up. You have about an hour study time. It was not easy as it is now, I would say. But there were many times I felt I don't have to follow this road.  But I felt that if I don't do this now, it's not going to help me. The fear of the Lord should be there. Okay, I'm doing it. Let me do it. Right? And in the workplace, there'll be numerous pressures, temptations, distractions. Remember, who's watching? Train yourself in small things. Small things you train yourself. And as you do that, you ask yourself, does this what I'm doing? Does it honor God? What I'm doing is does it, you know, show reverence to my God? Is it right in the eyes of God? I remember this one time, I had to, I wanted to go meet my friends. They were all having a get together. So I went up to the principal during that time at the Bible course. I said I'm not feeling okay. I want to go home. He said, yeah, go. And I went to my I went and met my friends. But you know that Lord in there, you know, in my mind, oh man, what did I do? All of them are talking. And then I was thinking, I said, I was not talking to my friends. Hey, what? You've come over so long. Why are you not talking? Then suddenly I just felt this, you know, like this heaviness in my heart. And I said, I gotta go. I was there for probably 10 minutes. I wrote for half an hour to meet them. It was there for 10 minutes. I said, I gotta go. I came back to the principal, the sir asked me, what happened? I said, I lied to you. I am okay. I just went to meet my friend. I wanted to meet my friend, but there was something in me I could not. So I'm sorry that I did this wrong. Right. Now it was not easy for me to do that. I was scared what he throws me out in college. Right. But I had to do it. I had to do it. I had to make things right until there will be situations and workplaces. Right. We can you know, we can change things in our files. We can change things in our Excel sheets. We can do all of that. Is it right in the eyes of God? That's the number one question we ask ourselves. Right. So walk in the fear of God. Let's go to the next one. The fruit of the spirit are winning attitudes. Walk in them. What's the fruit of the spirit? Galatians 5 22 and 23. Yes. Go ahead. Read it. You have a mic with you. Galatians chapter 5 verse 22 to 23, but the spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility and self-control. There is no law against such things as this. The fruit of the spirit are winning attitudes. Meaning what? When we walk in the fruit, you will only be fruitful. You see that the presence and work of the Holy Spirit brings about transformation of who we are, our character, our attitudes and our entire personhood. Everything changes in us. The way we look at people is, you know, when we look at people say, okay, there's unforgiveness, suddenly there's love. There will be people who will be very rude to you in the workplace. Remember this boss that I had in the workplace, he would come and say, he had this habit of throwing things. Right. And for me, throwing things is, I would get really upset. So he would come and say, okay, guys, what are you guys doing? Right? This is almost, we have finished and we've not even, you know, met our targets and he would throw the papers there. So just look at our work in the morning to afternoon. Take a look at it. And many times I said you take a look at it. I don't want to pick it up from down. You want to give it to me or give it to me in my hand. I said that. And I'm sad because that time I was a young guy.  No problem. I don't have commitments and it doesn't, you can't treat me like this. Now at one point I was like, I would say something and I was like, oh man, God, you know, see, now you're not around the praise the Lord gang. All are like this. Right. So now I say God, what to do? You know, feeling hurt inside. I shouldn't have said, I shouldn't have just kept quiet. Let him shout how much he was hurt. So there are times there was one time the holy spirits told me you go and apologize. I said, no, he should apologize. I don't even think correct. Why should I apologize? So I didn't apologize two, three days over. And I just knew because it was just there in me. I couldn't see him. I couldn't talk to him because these guys they'll shout and then forget. Next day they'll be back to normal but for me it wasn't like that. How can he shout at me? My parents didn't shout at me. So I went to him. I said, listen, three days back you said this, no, what I said, Paul, you threw the papers at me and then remember I talked back to you. I shouldn't have said that. Sorry. You know, but there was this whole weight just left and I was thankful that I was able to go and apologize. Now without the fruit of the spirit, we cannot do it. But it says here, the spirit produces love and because of that, you know, it just though in the workplace, God just began to lift me up, really lift me up. There were people who were there for 10 years, 12 years, there for two years and I was getting promoted just like that for no reason. Of course a lot of hard work, a lot of things that I learned and learned as well, but they are winning attitudes at the gift of the spirit. So, sorry, the fruit of the spirit joy, a positive, happy, passionate, enthusiasm, peace, a sense of calmness even during turmoil and challenges, patience, being committed, being willing, kindness, gentleness and word indeed, goodness, demonstrating, benevolence and generosity, faithfulness being sincere and dependable, dependable that's a very, very important word in the workplace. Can I depend on you? Even in the ministry, we may, we have leaders they have to, we depend on them. Okay, you do this right? Humility being meek, not forcing your way and then self-control. So, this is something that we can pray and say, God, wherever I am help me to walk in the fruit of the spirit. Right? Next one, do your work obediently, sincerely, willingly and cheerfully. Let's read Ephesians 6-5 through 8. Anyone would like to read Ephesians 6-5 through 8. Slave obey your human masters with fear and trembling and do it. With a sincere heart ask to you were serving Christ. Do this not only when they are watching you because you want to gain their approval but with all your heart do what God wants as slave of Christ. Do your works as slave cheerfully. Ask too. You serve the Lord and not merely human beings. Remember that the Lord will reward each of us, whether slaves or free, for the good works we do. Yeah. So, during when you look at the Bible times, you have masters and slaves. Right? Now what do we have? We have employees and managers.  Like what we talk about slave, they're just, you know, employer, employee. Right? And so right now we have managers and employees and here it says that there are key instructions given to a person who works for or under someone else. Here are certain aspects we must be, we must do. We must obey, be sincere, wholeheartedly and willingly and cheerfully. Now to obey means to follow instructions with reverence and a yielded heart. So here's the thing, sometimes our leaders and our bosses in the corporate, wherever we are working may tell us to do something. Now you may feel that it's not important, one or two, you may feel that you can do it in a better way. Right? Or three, you may have three different ideas better than the idea that he is given. Now the scriptures here say obey your masters or employees obey your employers. Stay aligned to what they've been asked you to do. Sorry, be sincere means to do it with genuine interest even when you're not watched. Remember, there will come a time when your opinion will matter. Now let me give you this example. You joined a company, you're working. You finished six months. Now after six months the team leader is not going to ask you, hey, tell me what can we do? You know, there's this problem happening. You really ask a person who is six months in the organization? He'll not ask because he's only six months, he doesn't know anything. He's still learning, he's still growing, he's still developing himself. Right? But imagine you're six years in that organization. Now you've seen things. You've seen ups and downs, right? And you've learned the hard way and now the team leader will come and say, hey, what do we do? Can we do this this way? Right? So yes, we may have ideas, we may have strategies but always remember to be obedient first. There will come a time when God will give you opportunities to make decisions to speak and to, you know, to speak into situations and in people's lives. Right? Do things willingly with all your heart, do things cheerfully and gladly without enthusiasm. Right? One of the responsibilities that I had was you know, we had this some of our, you know, some people would write onto these tables. Right? They would write, you know, their names, as though they don't know their names, so they would write their names. Okay? So one of my responsibility was, suddenly the, you know, now I was leading worship at locations. Right? So somewhere in Maharashtra as a Bible college student, I'm leading worship. So now no more doing Bible college work. Suddenly my principal said, come here take that spray and start wiping all the tables. Now I thought to myself, hey, I can play guitar. I'm good at leading worship. I'll do something else now. I can learn some new songs clean the tables. I said, Aisha, so you want me to do that? Do it. So I they gave me the spray and I was so upset with all the students they've written notes on the table. Some of them have drawn some things there. Some people have drawn a car so upset with this. I'm sitting and scrubbing it and some of it is not going. So I called the friend whose table is this come here. You wipe it. So I realized that after a couple of days I remember like telling myself, I don't want to do this. And God just ministered to me saying you do it sincerely with all your heart. Because you're being obedient. Now I thought to myself you know it was that day because I felt that because we would spend time in prayer and all that. I thought to myself, what's the use of praying like 4 hours and coming and grumbling here. There's no point. There's only a show then. And then what my classmates think, this fellow is praying 3 hours in the morning coming and grumbling here. So I do not do that. So I had to go ahead at least for them. And I remember doing that. It was a small task. But at one point I enjoyed doing it. And so I would start scrubbing and then I would look at everyone's table in the class. Anybody writes that's it for you. But I would make sure. But what happened was everything was neat. It was nice. The place was clean. And so when we do these small things, be obedient sincere. Do it cheerfully. It doesn't look like a task. You'll enjoy it. We'll take a break. We'll come back and we'll get into the remaining section.


Are all seeds bad for you? You know, I don't know how many times I've seen on the internet or people telling me that Dr. Gundry says that all seeds are bad for you. And I have no idea where that concept came from, but let's correct it right now. Now remember, plants have two philosophies in protecting their seeds so that their seeds, their babies, sprout and grow.  Let me briefly explain.  Because the mother plant would shield shadow that baby if it just dropped to the ground there and probably wouldn't do well. So they protect their seeds with a shell that cannot be digested. And they make you interested in eating their babies by having all that wonderful luscious fruit dose laden fruit. And they even tell you that it's ready because they change colors and you have color vision.   On the other hand, most grasses and other annual plants are growing in a great place and they're going to die.  They want them to be dropped to the ground. So they have number one, no incentive for you taking their seeds and going elsewhere. And they want their seeds to drop to the ground. So in that case, they protect their seeds from being eaten either by an impenetrable shell or by loading those seeds with lectins so that if those animals happen to eat those lectin-containing seeds, they will not thrive and will avoid them in the future. So there is method to a plant's madness. So there are plenty of friendly seeds. Let's talk about, for example, pomegranate seeds. So pomegranate seeds, they are aerals, are some of the best foods that you could actually eat. They have an incredibly high polyphenol content and in those of us who are lucky enough to have an appropriate gut microbiome, the agallic acid in pomegranate seeds can be converted into one of the most potent mitochondrial boosters that there is. They have omega-5, which is incredibly beneficial fat. But go easy on pomegranate juice. You're actually losing the benefit of the omega-5s in the seeds and a lot of the polyphenol content that's in the seed. So you don't get the fiber, you don't get the polyphenol content and you don't get the omega-5. Plus that pomegranate juice is gonna have a ton of sugar. So eat the seeds whole, that's the best way to get the benefits. How about basil seeds? Basil seeds are incredible for your health. They actually are an amazing prebiotic fiber that your gut buddies absolutely love. And they have adaptogenic properties. Just like basil in general, which is part of the mynth family, the seeds of basil have these same properties. In fact, we did a whole episode, episode 219, with Sekira Nyazi, the founder of Zen Basil, that I think you'll just absolutely love. Sesame seeds. Now sesame seeds are an excellent source of magnesium, which most people are deficient in. They also have oleic acid, just like olive oil. And they actually have a very interesting omega-6 fat. Now when you hear omega-6, you say, wait a minute, omega-6, that actually causes inflammation not so fast. It's been shown that the omega-6 fats in sesame seeds actually block inflammation. And a very interesting human study, having people have two tablespoons of sesame oil a day, dramatically lowered their blood pressure.  Now, sesame seeds versus sesame oil. Well, they're both actually great for you. The nice thing about sesame seeds is that you can make tahini out of it.  I think you're gonna love it. And it's a great way to get all the benefits of another seed, sesame seed into your life. Ham seeds. Ham seeds are one of the great complete proteins out there. They are so versatile. You can put them into salads. You can stir fry them in some of your favorite vegetable dishes. You can put them in smoothies for protein. And despite the name, you will not get high from consuming large amounts of hemp seeds. Flax seeds. Now, flax seeds are another great example of a plant that has devised a way to protect their baby from your digestion. And I get a real kick out of people eating flax seeds or flax seeds crackers for their health benefits without realizing that that shell is impenetrable to digestion. You can't break through the wall of a flax seed.  But flax seeds are one of the richest sources of the short chain omega-3 fatty acid, alpha-linolenic acid, and also one of the great sources of flax seed lignans, which are other signaling compounds that may actually have some interesting anti-cancer benefits. So how do you get that benefit? You gotta grind them up.  If you buy ground flax seeds in the grocery store or the health food store, you'll usually see them in the refrigerated section for a reason. Once you open that package, put it back in the refrigerator. I find the easiest thing to do is buy flax seeds whole. I've got a coffee grinder devoted to grinding the flax seeds and then add them to what you're gonna eat. That way you'll get all the benefit. Same way with flax seed oil. Flax seed oil carries those same benefits of ALA and lignans, but once you open it, put it in the refrigerator because it'll go bad very quickly. How about something we have been lacking for many years in our diet? Grape seeds. It turns out the biggest benefit of eating an actual grape was actually eating the seed because grape seed extract, grape seeds are incredible source of polyphenols. And there are studies after studies after studies, some of which I've published showing the benefit of grape seed extract on dilating blood vessels in humans and in making the lining of our blood vessels less sticky. And believe me, you do not want sticky blood vessels. The problem is when I was growing up, all grapes had seeds. And so if you ate grapes, you ate the seeds as they still do in Europe. In fact, I recently returned from a trip this fall in Europe where we were given grapes with seeds for dessert to have with our cheese. And we ate the grapes and the grape seeds because that's what they were designed to do. Every now and then in farmers markets and some high-end grocery stores, you can still find grapes with seeds. And if you do, buy them. If not, grape seed extract is a great choice. Papaya seeds. Papayas, the real benefit of papayas is in the seeds. And most people throw them away. Papaya seeds are loaded with polyphenols. And here's the deal. Just throw them in your smoothie. They will blend up. You won't taste them and you'll be good to go. So don't waste those papaya seeds. All right, how about seeds that you should avoid? Number one is chia seeds.  They're a health food. Well, I used to think so too until I got off the phone years ago with the father of the paleo diet. And I was exclaiming how great chia seeds are.  And he sent me two papers, one a human study where they wanted to show that people who ate chia seeds got more omega-3 fat in their system. And by the way, they also wanted to prove that their inflammation markers measured by C-reactive protein went down, which you would think if the omega-3s were anti-inflammatory. Unfortunately, what they found was, yes, the omega-3 levels in their blood went up, but their C-reactive proteins also went up exactly what you don't want to happen. And interestingly enough, that inflammation, many of my patients feel, and many of my patients who had autoimmune diseases, when we took the chia seeds out of some of their favorite foods, and I won't name them here, they started to get better. Use basil seeds instead of chia seeds. You'll get the exact same effect that you want in thickening, but you won't get the ill effects of chia seeds. Second, pumpkin seeds, papitas. Pumpkins are part of the squash family.  Now the flesh of pumpkin does not have many lectins. The same goes for the foods in this family, in France and Italy, I always see peeled and deseeded cucumbers because they're smart enough to realize that these are where the problems are. The seeds are the problem. But by the way, the squash family unfortunately has a lot of sugar in them, so eat them in moderation, even if you peel and deseed them. How about everybody's favorite seeds, sunflower seeds? Sunflower seed and oil are one of the great lectin bombs of all time, so please stay away from sunflower seeds and sunflower oil. But now you know there are some seeds that are very much your friends, and surprisingly the plant wants you to eat those seeds. Not all seeds are bad, but know your seeds. This next one is sure to surprise you. One can of soda increases your risk of having a heart attack by 20% if you have one can a day.


All right, so I'm going to tell you exactly what you're going to get out of this video. You're going to find out what the best technology degrees are for one, and then you're also going to find out the subtle differences between them that might make you choose one over the other. I'm not going to do any long intro this time because I'm doing a 30 day challenge and I've pretty much run out of ideas at this point. Almost done with this 30 day challenge. It has been pretty hectic, but you know, also pretty fun. And if you appreciate that, make sure to show your support by smashing the like button in order to defeat the evil YouTube algorithm. Also, I'm going to do an experiment on this video. I'm going to do it really fast. I'm probably not going to go into the details like I do in a lot of them. I'm going to try to keep this video really short and see how that does with the YouTube algorithm. So let's jump in right now. Number 10 on the list is going to be network administration. Now, this is a degree where about 814 people every single year graduate with it, and you can expect to make around $46,200 a year in the first five years after graduating, and then mid-career pay is going to be somewhere around $77,000 a year. Now, this is according to pay scale and they define mid-career pay as 10 years and after. So everything that you make 10 years and after the average of all the people that have graduated. Now, network administrators ensure that a company's computer, software, and security functions run smoothly on a day-to-day basis. So basically, this one is very similar to an IT degree, and honestly, they do end up competing for the same jobs. The only problem with this one is the stats just aren't nearly as good as an IT degree. And why would a company hire a network administrator when somebody who graduates with an IT degree can basically do the same thing? And there's a ton of IT degree graduates out there that are looking for a job, so you'd probably just hire one of those. Now, one job you could get with this degree is you could become a network and computer systems administrator. They make around $83,510 a year, there's about 383,900 jobs out there, and they're growing around 5%, which is about as fast as average. Next one on the list is going to be computer graphics technology. There's around 1,400 people every year that graduate with this degree, and you can expect to make around $46,500 every single year in your first five years after graduating, and then mid-career pay is going to be around $83,200 a year. Now, this is a pretty good one because you get to combine technical skills with creative skills. And by doing this, you can design, analyze, and create ideas visually. Now, there's honestly a ton of different career paths that you can go down with this one. You could go into advertising, design, front-end web development, you could create video games. So if you're someone who's really set on doing art as a career, this might be a really good one to look into. But compared to other ones on this list, the statistics just aren't that good. Now, one career path that you could potentially go down is becoming a multimedia artist and animator. They make around $75,270 a year, there's around 71,600 jobs available right now, and they're growing around 4%, which is average. Next one on the list is going to be a telecommunications degree. Now, there's several different degrees that are related to telecommunications, and one of them would be a computer systems networking and telecommunications degree. There's about 1,600 people that graduate with this degree every single year. And you can expect to make around $41,500 a year starting out, and then $85,400 a year in your mid-career pay. Now, this one is technically a bachelor of arts degree, not a bachelor of sciences degree. So depending on which university you go to, they might emphasize more of the technology side of things, or they might emphasize more of the art side of things. So basically what this degree combines is communications with technology. There's a lot of different career paths that you could potentially go down with this one, such as marketing, promotions, journalism, public relations, all kinds of different things. You could also go into the telecommunications industry, which is huge right now. There's tons of billionaires that have been created just because of the telecommunications industry. One career path you could go down potentially is becoming a market research analyst. They make around $63,000 a year. There's about 681,000 jobs out there, and it's growing at 20%, which is way faster than average. Number seven on the list is going to be information technology, and this is what you know as IT. Now, there's a ton of different variations of IT degrees out there, but this one is just the normal information technology degree. There's around 5,800 people that graduate with this degree every single year. And with this degree, you can expect to make around $55,000 a year right off the bat, and then mid-career pay will be somewhere around $92,000 a year. This one is going to be all about storing, retrieving, and sending information. And this is a great one for just being useful and helping businesses with their day-to-day technology needs. Now, one career path you could go down is you could become a network and computer systems administrator, and they make around $83,500 a year. There's 383,000 jobs available, and it's growing at 5%, which is around average. Number six on the list is going to be information science. There's around 5,700 people graduating with this degree every single year, and you can expect to make around $60,000 a year starting off, and then $94,300 a year in mid-career pay. So in layman's terms, what information science is, is they combine social sciences, kind of like sociology and psychology with computer science. So it's kind of the study of how people interact with technology and information. Some of you watch my videos and you smash the like button, and some of you don't. I wonder why that is. I could probably study information science and find out. Very similar to data science, but that one has more of an emphasis on business. And you could probably see why this one would be very, very useful in the modern world. Social media, the internet, the digital world in general is changing the way that human beings behave and interact with each other. Might be for better or worse, whatever you think about it is absolutely changing the way people act. One career path that you could go down is becoming a computer systems analyst. They make around $90,900 a year. There's around 633,000 jobs available, and it's growing at 9%, which is much faster than average. Number five on the list is going to be cybersecurity. This is a really interesting one to me. I can see this one being much higher on the list in the near future. You can expect to make around $61,300 a year starting off and then $93,700 a year after 10 years. And everybody knows about all the data leaks and the scandals around, you know, Equifax and Target and all the other leaks that have happened in the last five to 10 years. The jury's still out on that. You know, companies were kind of fined, but a lot of people argue that they will be fined even more in the near future. And if that happens, companies are going to be forced to take action on this and make sure that their data is completely secure and people's personal information doesn't get leaked. There's a ton of different career paths you could go down with this degree. One of them that you could do is becoming an information security analyst. They make around $99,000 a year. There's 112,000 jobs available, and they are growing at 32%, which is much, much faster than average. The next degree on the list, number four is going to be information security assurance. And this one is very similar to cybersecurity. There's around 3,600 people graduating every single year with this degree. You're going to start off making around 60,000 a year and mid-career pay will be over 103,000. So you'll notice that a lot of these different degrees kind of sound similar. This one is pretty closely related to cybersecurity, for instance. So this is why it's so important with technology degrees to do your research because this is such a new field and it hasn't really differentiated into what it's going to be in the near future. So it's even more important than a lot of the other degrees to contact somebody who's either gotten the degree or they're working in a career path that you're interested in. But anyways, the stats on this one are slightly better than cybersecurity. They're going to end up going for a lot of the same jobs. So you might see them become an information security analyst as well. I'm not going to go over the stats again, but I'll have it pop up on the screen for a second. Number three on the list is going to be information technology management. You can expect around $57,600 a year starting off. Mid-career pay is going to be around $102,000 a year. So this one is going to be similar to IT, information technology of course, but it's also going to integrate the leadership side of that, which is management. As you know, if you follow my channel at all, companies love people who try to be leaders or want to go in the leadership direction. Anytime you go for a leadership or a management position, it will likely pay a lot more. You'll also have more work and more responsibility, but that kind of goes with the territory. So if you combine the skill of being really good with technology and you also know how to lead people and you're a good manager, companies are going to love that. So one career that you could potentially go into is being a computer and information systems manager. They make around $146,000 a year, 414,000 jobs available out there, and it's growing at a very healthy 11%. Next one on the list is going to be computer information systems. So with this one, you can expect to make around $55,000 a year starting out and mid-career pay is going to be $98,400. So the thing about technology degrees is it can be really difficult to explain the differences between all of them, but basically this one focuses on the practical applications of technology in order to either support a business or to help it grow. And this is a great one because again, it's combining technology skills with business skills. So an example of a career path that you could go down is you could become a computer systems analyst. They make around $90,000 a year. There's 633,000 jobs available and it's growing at a very healthy 9%. Number one on the list is going to be computer science. You guys knew this one was coming. I've talked about this one a lot on this channel. You're going to start off making around $68,000 a year. And after 10 years, your mid-career pay is going to be $114,000. Probably one of the best degrees that you can get objectively speaking. Obviously, everyone's going to be different. Not everyone is meant to be, you know, a software developer or anything like that. So if you absolutely hate software development or anything like that, there's plenty of other degrees out there that are going to be great for you. Don't just go for this one because I say that it's really good. But it's so obvious to me that these are the skills that are going to be extremely coveted in the next 20, 30, and 40 years.

All right traders welcome back good happy Tuesday everybody having a lot of fun going on right now let me just share this one little screen. Screen up and running. What happened here getting disconnected here. There we go. Oops. You get the screen working running. All right here we see my screen okay just want to be able to. All right it looks like I just probably went down. It looks like my software is having some issues. It was like the first time that happened probably in about several months. But the CD IO. Oh my god this thing was phenomenal. You could see what having a great great run up on this stock right here. We have it here. It's my internet that's down. Hold on. Take my internet's down. Can everybody hear me okay. Just let me just do a quick audio check. Yeah everything's good. Okay. I'm having some data issues that looks like all of a sudden. Let me turn this off. Hold on am I getting data here. Nope. I'm getting some data shot down. Well let me log out. Log back in right here. This is a first. I haven't had that in a while. All right there we go again. Bring that back up. All right. Let's just try this again. All right. So sometimes you get these little hiccups. But anyway the CD IO is moving phenomenal. Great great great moving up right there. We did it. We got a quick little copy and paste of the news on that stock right there. We did an alert right here. And there you go. So you can see that that's that stock had a really big push. We actually that 270 announcement was at about 823. I think if you guys get my alerts on Twitter and Facebook but that had a really really nice post we do. We did post an alerts in the chat room. But what a great runner up. So that's some really good news. And I know a lot of you guys did well. What was so nice about this stock it was basically it was it's very inexpensive. Nice little price levels. You know cheap moving stock. I think everyone could afford it. But that's why it's so important you got to have access to level pre market trading and level three and level four. But there's a couple of other stocks. We're going to do some shopping before we do that let's talk about what happened yesterday because there were a couple of nice moving stocks yesterday. I want to start off with AMC because AMC is going back on the watch list again. Let me just fix this chart right here and see what I got going on. So AMC just look what happened with this thing. We haven't traded the stock in a while and all of a sudden I had a really really nice push started you know just to have a bit of a late runner. You could see it started running on 625 but look how gorgeous this thing right around the middle of the day for some of you mid time people boom thing ran from 650825 and you know what she's going back on the watch list again. So AMC listen how they turned into day trades into swing trades and it's funny we were trading the stock the last couple of days I told you I was away on vacation came back my kids wanted to go watch Ant-Man because we down in Orlando opening it was actually a pretty big success so it looks like they did pretty well with that and I don't know if that has something to do with it I don't know but every time there's always a big movie that comes out AMC obviously benefits from it. So that one was a nice little mover and like I said we look at the stocks that we traded from yesterday because sometimes today they're also they'll piggyback from the action from the day before so AMC was pretty good FSR was also really nice that stock rare from $6 you could see it right here beautiful movement all the way up to about 750 nice little dollar 50 move right there stock was about $18 it's not you know what it's holding here pretty strong it's got 280,000 shares I might hold on to it I might put it on a B list you know what I've traded the stock before this is that that car company had a good run up it's holding here pretty strong I don't know if it's picking backing after what happened with Tesla and stuff like that but but anyway it looks pretty strong and I'm going to put it on there EOS E another stock wasn't a big big winner really went from like $2 to 230 very cheap nice and slow I thought the stock was probably better off on the actual new traders that trying to learn and then we have Boyle that's been have been actually pretty good swing trade the last couple of days I mean this stock was down to about $4 and you could see it was already 140 so Boyle is doing pretty well but anyway that's what we traded yesterday and this and that's the past we're going to focus on the future and the future is what's trading right now so we know the biggest percentage gainer right now that's moving pretty nicely is the CDIC I mean the CDIO now listen it hasn't gone down there's a lot of people listening right now don't have access to pre-market don't know anything about it that's why you have to if you're watching on social media this is why you have to be here every morning when we hear live at 9 a.m. and at 2 30 in the afternoon and more importantly if you got to my trading room like you cybergroup members that are already in the trading room you know what you probably should be done for the day because I don't know when we made the call out even even that late at 2 30 if you made yourself 50 cents on a thousand shares thousand you know that's 500 bucks that's a hundred thousand dollar salary I know a lot of you here are drooling in your mouth I'd be happy with that but days not over there are a couple other stocks out there that are moving so we have the this brightness down CDIO we also have this stock right here R and E are now she's a little bit more volatile the tier size of pretty small did trade 3.3 3.5 million shares already ran from about 6 to 8 a little nauseous around that stock I probably I probably wait it's making high it's making low lows right now but you know what got good movements of 36% pretty inexpensive definitely keep an eye on it BDS man today does definitely feel like a Tuesday I can tell you that because this is that typical Mondays we didn't have a list like this we already got four stocks on the list and we only got down to 3 on the big percentage gain just on a NASDAQ we can hop on to New York and losers that but this stock's got a pretty good movement the stock I crushed you could see here was that $8 came all the way back down the stock up obviously looks like it did something yesterday no didn't do anything yesterday good volatility good movement let me see if there's any data on level 4 on it BDS let's bring that up over here let me get some data on that see if there's any orders okay so yeah so this one looks pretty cool let me check and show you this out so we got a big iceberg over here that just got executed right around here you could see it pop right there so it does definitely look pretty strong on how many shares was that it was a lot it was like 20,000 but he did get executed and it did make that pop for another 10 cents from there so I kind of like that stock that's that little movement right here you see on the intraday all right what else this stock's big up trend but it's trending down so that's not a good sign this stock is trending down this stock is going up S-I-N-T nice little push stock was $50 I love stocks this is a a bottom fish swing trade this is what we call that so stocks that you could see here got got crushed right here even at $10 a gap all the way down into 2 let's see what's going on over here on level 4 could be a new a new mover right here for us S-I-N-T just getting the data here all right I'm not I'm not getting a lot of good data right now on level 2 but but there was a big iceberg order did show up around 20 about 16,000 show to you see it right here big iceberg order showed up right here it's a big red line and that's how it popped God it's like why would anybody not want to see orders you know what I mean I don't get you know when I was here I'm actually going to be down to Florida again it seems like you know I'm going down there more and more and I'm not moving down there just do a lot of presentations doing another event for another guru that want me to come down to talk about this and it's just like when I'm talking in front of an audience and they see this it's like it's like light bulbs they just click everywhere they're like why don't people really teach this anymore why people talk about this and I always tell them because they're not traders that's why all right all right so anyway the stock looks pretty good that one's going to watch list I like that one even better than the other ones these stocks all look pretty good I got to start getting a little picky on my orders because I don't want to start building it up my god zoom got crushed my god remember zoom the stock was one of the this is one of our biggest trades that we traded back when when covid hit and then zoom went from a hundred to about five hundred it's a matter of time it was going to come back down now everyone back to normal losers any good losers out there any bottom fishing don't really see too much there and New York stock exchange nothing there that's why I love the Nasdaq there's just so much more there to trade so much good volatility all right so we got one two three four five stocks on the list we're going to put in our alert service in the trading room if you're subscribed to our YouTube channel our Twitter we're going to post it on our Twitter and you know what that pretty much does anything else that I'm missing we got a trader up in in YouTube Trader K says could you check out H O T H you know what it had a nice little spike just right now but it looks like it kind of died you know what I mean so I would probably put this on my C list Brian is saying about Norwegian and C L H and it's in the trading room so you know what they're all look like they're backing off Brian you know we have definitely probably look like a short you know she had that big little decline around seven o'clock in the morning but not really you know it's kind of flat you know you could see if you look back here back in the beginning of end of January it's testing some big support levels I probably say no right now that's how I look at it all right so anyway so let's get ready for the market open up before we go one last thing is traders talk day so we did send emails to everybody at 11 o'clock we're going to be doing traders talk in the trading room make sure if you have any questions send in your journals it's part of what we offer here at Cybertree University it's one of our most popular events of the week we only do it once a week it's just one one time slot make sure you register for it so we'll get ready to trade in the morning and then once we're done in the morning we'll pick back up we'll piggyback and start to get ready to trade once the market opens up and we'll go into the market and in the meantime everyone happy trading be safe and we'll be back here on social media at 2.30 afternoon remember we're live here every morning at 9 a.m. and 2.30 with the CTO watch list and if you always want to join our trading room just like I said like us, friend us and just jump in our trading room be happy to join us for a whole day in what we're looking at with trading Cybertraders remember you see something you say something you trade something and I'll see you in a little bit
