Welcome back to my channel guys. It's your girl Coco Stiles and today I'm gonna be vlogging at the museum It's pretty decent outside today in Atlanta, but I think it is gonna rain later on so hopefully I'll get home before then I'm in my car now. So I'm gonna try my best to Vlog as much as I can I do know if you guys are planning on visiting there if you're visiting Atlanta I think it's a pretty cool mall. A pretty cool museum to visit They did change some stuff in there where you can't Is that you can't just walk in so previously you can buy a ticket which was fine But now I think you have to buy a ticket and they give you a certain time. I'm late So I don't know how this is gonna work for me I'm literally like 30 minutes late. So we'll see if they read funding my money or You know, I'll see how how it goes when I get there I don't know if you have a certain amount of time on the inside of the Mall, why do I keep saying mall? Is it because I want to shop guys? It's out of the museum But I do know like I said that they give you certain a certain time Pick a ticket for a certain time and the times are like 30 minutes apart So I know you don't have 30 minutes in there I'm not gonna get there. If I get turned away because I'm super late We'll see how this how this goes when I get there. Hopefully they got some good exhibits today Because I haven't been in a while. I think the last time I actually went I think fast And I know a lot of people love this art it wasn't my cup of tea, but um, I did see like a lot of That's probably because I'm not an art. I like art, but I'm not like You know into it to where I'm like, oh this piece is so amazing because it is no I literally like art because of what how it looks in my home. So His stuff wouldn't really go with my theme of my home, but um, a lot of people did seem to really enjoy it. So I Just have on some flats today. My feet are swollen from yesterday we went to Fellowship, which is a cigar bar in Atlanta This smoke was heavy my friend said that it was a lot more heavy the last time she went So but it was still it was still a lot. It was my bag smile like it And I'm still a little tired my bag my hair everything But it was it was a pretty cool thing we ordered they they do have like a pretty decent vegan menu Which I'm super happy about because we can't Always find stuff when we go places, but that was really okay One we think they made a boo boo and gave us beef She had my friend had the burger the last time she went and she said it was really really good And I can say that most of the vegan burgers are very very flavorful And this one I broke a piece off and I started to chew it and she chewed her first And she was like this to me and I was like shut your face. I spit it out And after we started looking at it, I'm like, it does look like it does look like me I don't know it just didn't I don't and that's the thing you have to be careful with buying his mock meat It was made for me not to eat it because I said I wasn't gonna eat it no anymore You guys know I stay away from Process foods But I'm just like oh we're out whatever so I just ended up getting like a wild rice bowl Which wasn't a wild rice bowl and I'm kind of like tired of these restaurants like false advertising It's another place true kitchen. I think it's called in Buckhead.  It was like white rice and Wild like sprinkles of wild rice. So these restaurants have to do a better job because I could have sent it back So they have a little VIP section upstairs. I don't know if it's worth it because I Don't know like we had some drinks downstairs I just had a ginger beer and it's in a can and they give it to you in a glass But they give you the can with the rest of it upstairs. They just put it in the little small cup Not even like it was so it was like back was like I think downstairs should have had the plastic cups upstairs should have had Glass but totally opposite. I don't know And downstairs looks better. So I don't I mean, I guess you go up there If you just want to be with your friends and stuff, but I don't know if it's necessarily worth it Going upstairs.  I'll go back But we didn't get any seats because it was a game on and people weren't leaving and the whole sky kept saying, you know You guys are next you guys are next but we never got seats So I recommend if you do go there if they do reservations go early if they do reservations I've reserved a space and if they don't get there early So I think around eight o'clock. She said that there was no wait, but come 844. It was just like super packed So I don't know if they all just had like An idea to go and I just went at the same time. But yeah But it was pretty decent. Um, the drinks weren't expensive. The food wasn't expensive The people it was a mixture, you know, of course mostly men. There was a few women in there. They were actually with the men What else dress code you cannot wear sneakers so men no sneakers also They have brunch on Sundays and you can come as you are pretty much So you can win sneakers on Sunday, but not on Saturdays and what else? Other than that, that was it check it out fellow fellowship. I think it's Cam Newton spot. Yeah, Cam Newton It was it was cool. I don't know how long it's been there, but it's nothing really in the area. The parking is not that great Oh, well, she said that they have a parking garage. I'm not sure how bad it is, but We were over there because we parked and then we over because it was a Greek event going on yesterday And it was just like So we just ended up thinking the uber which was still okay But other than that That's it. So I'll get you guys once I get inside the museum Hopefully I can get it and hopefully they don't like turn me away because I missed my time, but um Alright, I'll catch you guys in a second. Bye


So everybody sees it good So hello, and welcome to the infrastructure functional group update for August 2017 So I'd like to start by welcoming our new hires and That's me. So I'm a new hire myself. My name is South Ishtar. I'm the new director of infrastructure We've also added John Jarvis as a senior production engineer and Gregory Stark as a database specialist So to rehash the goal of the infrastructure is to ensure that get lab calm is raised from mission critical tasks This includes the availability of get lab calm at 99% a 99% user request served under one second and complete the top ten risk assessment actions So accomplishments Production we are now indexing the site with elastic search and the cluster supporting it has worked very well We're able to create and destroy the cluster as required with a minimal amount of work. Thanks terraform a chef We've isolated the container registry. This has been a big step in breaking up the monolith and it's moving us to a more cloud native setup The sidekick fleet is also split up And we have now dedicated fleets for specific concerns and this allows scaling and tuning per fleet Developers can now control feature flags themselves. Yay feature flags They don't no longer have to wait for somebody from the production team to set it up for them. It's all through chat ups Takeoff deployment has been finished. It's been used by the release managers a lot of the issues around deployment I have been resolved, but it's getting better the laser refactoring is tested in staging today So they still come along get better and lastly VPN access has been set up For access to production fleet That's also gonna show us here database So databases the query timings on the project issues page has been reduced by 10 times With the total response timing of these pages being cut in half Loading time for the Explorer projects page is significantly reduced also and with these changes and querying the event feeds are a best case 66 times faster than they were before Sidekick in uniform and unicorn connections are now separate in PG bouncer This means that a spike in sidekick activity will no longer result in unicorn not having any connections available There's a new merge request template for database changes So make reviewing the database related changes much easier and faster in the same vein Making things easier the database team has Refactored their handbook and it's gotten much needed update Italy so All get clones and fetches are using Italy now and have been doing so for a week This is greatly reduced. I'm sorry greatly reduced NFS traffic The giddily Ruby sidecar is now running experimentally in 9-5 and with this we can skip porting Ruby rugged to go and this allows us to focus purely on the endpoints And we are well on track for meeting the q3 okr of 25 migrations Security package signing is now active in 9-5 and There's a remote access now requires a VPN for production. So that's a big step There's now a wider deployment of the intrusion detection system in the gilab environment And we've also you have a git lab static analysis gem is merged And this adds some rules to Ruby tough to look for the use of calls that have known security issues So it can flag them before we even get into production with them We engaged the external security audit from and they found a critical vulnerability and get I'm sure we all saw the announcements the alerts Everybody I know in the industry has that's great And we've also added protections against a denial service and see I first of the very old but very interesting Ruby regex So concerns where we need help. So the NFS fleet stability is still an issue We've run to a recent issue with giddily consuming all the system resources This luckily has a quick fix if just pretty giddily processed inside C group that can limit How much of the host resources can consume However NFS overall is still a single point of failure in the current setup The good news is there's been a lot of work in circuit breakers. Shout out to Bob and giddily to remove this the size Another issue is the size of storage we're encountering outside of the repositions the artifacts. It's very large. It's becoming unwieldy This needs to move to object storage to make it horizontal scalable And we also have a concern with iteration speed When something is deployed if there's issues or blocks that can take along and then anybody here wants to get it fixed and deployed So to alleviate this we're highly recommending feature flags. The giddily team has shown these to great effect. They're able to Turn on and off new features and when they ramp them up because as we know staging cannot give us the same level of traffic's production They're able to ramp up 10% 20% traffic until They never find bugs but in case they do they can just turn it off rather than have redeploy work on database concerns and While still currently being worked on we do not have a full failover system in place in production And there's also an issue with the primary disks that cause IO throttling on the high load However, both these are being addressed in linked issues and hopefully it'll be resolved soon PG bouncer is still running in our temporary setup instead of being based on omnibus. So that's an issue that needs to be resolved and Lastly influx database is incapable of handling 25 hours of data and handles 12 fine But it croaks on 25 around midnight. It just stops recording data for about 20 minutes. So We have to put it in 12-hour increments and recalculate every 12 hours So gilly resources the major block right now to delivering gilly faster It's just the current engineer resources the more engineering resources we can get the more endpoints. We can get through faster and file server scaling Gilly is handling more operations with every release, but until we're off of NFS. We're unable to scale horizontally This means that get operations are being concentrated on the total file servers and you know those are the elements we can use security We're seeing a definite increase in the CI abuse the level of CI abuse we've seen and The large security issues we feel are not getting the Priorities we need to get them moving forward. So our plans So first thing is you can't fix what you can't see to that end we're revamping the logging infrastructure Eventually we want all logging to use it ending the need for individuals to log into a machine to view any logs They should have one centralized logging place We're splitting up the Redis cluster and what this is initially just being split into a cache and other cluster But this lets us dump the cache without affecting the operations at other parts of the site And there's also work being done to make your lab the comp region and cloud redundant with geo This will allow us to fail over to other locations if the current ones experiencing issues such as the low light This past month was as a restorative going offline for over seven hours If we have something like geo in place, we'll be able to fail over to a different region and mitigate a lot of that count time So I just not here but Greg's Greg's with us now. So The plan is to bring him up to speed and that will reduce the load Immensely on York and improve the throughput of the whole team They're gonna and they'll database team will be working the production team to ensure that the primary disks Snuff and they're working on automated failure system for the database in production PG bouncer will also be changed to be set up using on the bus and the temporary solution removed And of course work is always continuing on improving important controllers to make them faster Italy migration migration migration, you know, that's their plan. I believe After this okay, others gonna be 75 more endpoints to migrate For security, we're gonna there's auditing improvements. We can continue audit Including investigations of instance such as account lockouts repository access group membership changes, etc Then we're gonna have big improvements in our vulnerability scanning infrastructure and an automated thorough dynamic web scanning for each release So and you know, we're always looking for more people. Please people, you know, we would fit these roles We're looking for director security security specialists security engineer and production engineers We're always looking out for good people. Please anybody know point this site and Now see if there's a questions in chat. I Stop sharing my screen just to see the chat Right they never find bugs never Said it's future flags are not recommended features might affect infrastructure not for 99% of our features, right? I mean, that's I would recommend future flags But just because we never know how they're gonna operate under load a good example is money the GPG signatures on those It seems like nice feature, but it start really spiking up as a feature flag because then you can just disable it rather than having the hot patch systems It's a good way also to to test the results Features that people like and people use them. I've seen future flags almost uses like it may be testing But yeah from from our point of view we Definitely anything that touches the infrastructure anything that could harm the infrastructure. We really want to see future flags used Yeah, I think it's a trade-off look if we Using a feature flag means you're releasing it and then you have to like clean up the code after everything gets to 100% so now it's only every feature takes two releases and takes too much request takes two reviews Might forget might have old code still there, etc, etc, etc So it is a trade-off so so use them when there can be an impact to production But for 99% or maybe 89% of our features if you just change something in the front end It's it's not very likely to have an impact and from time to time will might miss something, but it's it's a trade-off of velocity for resistibility and I think it's Something like DPD keys like yeah, someone might think about the impact it does or we might miss it and that happens, but it's It's not something it's not like any new feature now needs a feature flag That's not what what we but I think we should be saying to to all the back-end developers Okay, fair enough Infrastructure recommends them around stability issues, but yeah, it's a judgment call. Sorry. How's I'm here? Do you think we should expose future flags for end users like an admin? But that's That's a product decision. I'm just recommending for us to use internally to stabilize the infrastructure. Yes Can we on that topic set? I think we we sometimes have like for example a high load on the database and we don't have any way to say look When when Twitter had stability problems They had kind of a dark mode where like the basic things would work for the things that really tax their infrastructure Like complex searches or something else those those got disabled for a while I think it would be really worthwhile if we we have something like that in GitLab So not for new features, but for like these are the things we know to cause a lot of load And the production team is able to turn them off So if if we're if we're having a problem we can like turn off non-vital services so that So that at least like all the issues still look because people really need that Yeah, that sounds good. I can just making quick notes Yeah, exactly Brian like disabled mirror So instead of like max mirror capacity, which we'll never get exactly right but have a mode to say look We're under load. This is we should call a panic mode, but maybe maybe dark mode or functionality or something like that but Going to like a low load mode for for GitLab Yeah Yeah, Tony, it's to prevent Kale Wales not to present Is there any other questions? No, okay. Well, thank you everybody for your time And I'll see everybody on the team call in a couple minutes So I have a good weekend for if you're in Europe or have a good Friday if you're in the US or something else Take care everybody


Welcome, my name is Dana Abbott and I will be your guide here at LearnTheSword.com. CyberSense is a new app that allows instructors like myself to be digitally downloaded, remastered and electronically added to your video, offering you the best quality, most comprehensive long distance training available. All you have to do is observe the training materials and media, practice the prescribed tasks, techniques and protocol, demonstrate those learned techniques and upload them to LearnTheSword. Your reviewed, critiqued and corrected video will look similar to this. After you execute the cut, I want you to make sure that the tip of the sword doesn't go below your knee. If it does go below your knee, you create lots of openings. Your stance looks good, although you should take a couple points in consideration.  Make sure that your head moves more towards your right shoulder. Then looking at your shoulders, you can see that your shoulders aren't full enough. They could be a little fuller. So I want you to take your chest and push it out a little bit more.  I'd like them to be a little wider. Your chibuti looks smooth, although when you do finish your chibuti process, I want you to make sure that the sword is positioned over on the right side of your foot instead of more towards the center of your body. So all you need to do is adjust your sword a little bit over to the right there. When you sheed the sword, your left hand and your right hand are out of synchotad. And your left hand is fumbling when it grabs the saia or the sheath.  When sheeding the sword, I also want you to note that when you sheed that your hand has a tendency to come over here on the side a little bit more.  Upon completion of kata 4 and when you return to your V stance, your stance demeanor could be a little stronger. I want you to take your chest and push it out a little bit more. I want your heels turned over at the side. And then if you look at your hand, it's a little farther over here to your right. I want you to bring your hand and the sheath more over to your left side so later when you redraw it, your hand naturally goes to the center instead of over this way, creating an opening and weak spot. I would like you to adjust and practice these corrections until your rote memory sets in, your demeanor and your technique become stronger. Until the next time, thank you and have a great day.


I know you guys are tired of hearing about Nintendo Direct's before we get one, right? We all expect one to be dropping in February and the last time we got came from Nintendo themselves with updates to the eShop listings for Tears of the Kingdom and Advance Wars. One plus two reboot camp and those updates ended up basically telling us that, hey, there's something coming extremely soon to open up these digital pre-orders. But we have more evidence added today to the fact that we are essentially getting a Nintendo Direct imminently. Now, before I get into it, I do want to remind you of this video's sponsor, EWIN Racing. When it comes to buying a gaming office chair, don't just trust anyone. Trust EWIN Racing, who has a chair just the right size for you. Trust me, one size doesn't fit all. Huh, can relate to this guy right there. That's why EWIN Racing offers five different size chairs so you can get the exact fit to your height and weight. Don't settle for your local pick up it's free or Facebook Marketplace lightly used chairs. Well, thanks to discount code Nintendo Prime, you can take a chair from EWIN Racing that's over $200 and get it for just $183. Whoa, is that still a bit steep for your wallet today? Well, thanks to Klarna and Afterpay, you can split your payment for your chair into four payments over four months, completely interest free, no credit check required. That way, you can get your much needed chair today. So what are you waiting for?  Just be sure to use code Nintendo Prime at checkout to get your 20% off. Link will be in the description or the additional text attached to this video. So what are we talking about today? Well, according to Walmart, and not just Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon Canada, and EV Games, Advance Wars 1 Plus 2 Reboot Camp has now been re-listed on their websites and you can put in orders. So the collection was originally planned to be released on the Nintendo Switch family systems in April of last year then it was delayed and delayed again and put on an indefinite delay. The bottom line is there was a real world reason for it and I know some people think it's a little bit of a cop out because other war games have come up but in Advance Wars 1 especially, there's specifically a made up nation that is almost, it's Russia. Let's just put it that way and it's Russia invading another neighboring country. So there was a sort of direct connection there as loose as we want to say video game connections can be whatever, the war was also fresh at the time on people's minds and getting a lot more coverage than it does now. The war is still ongoing by the way, it never ended but obviously the way news cycles goes it's not as clicky, right? People aren't as interested in watching constant updates on a seemingly never ending war at this point or at least one that doesn't seem to have a conclusion coming anytime soon. It's really sad that we're in this state where this is happening but wars are not anything new. There's wars being fought all the time whether the news covers them or not. So this is just one of those situations that led to Advance Wars 1 plus 2 reboot camp hitting this indefinite delay but now that it's not only got an update on the eShop suggesting, it's not listed yet but suggesting they will be taking pre-order soon and now that retailers are starting to open up their sales for this game, it's very obvious that a Nintendo Direct is literally imminent. It is going to happen any day now. Obviously with what's happened with these updates to the game, some people are now starting to expect this week, right? We get to February 1st, that could be a direct February 2nd, maybe it will be the following week because Nintendo's gonna wait until the first full week or at least wait until they do their investors meeting on the 7th. Some people have suggested with the investors meeting on the 7th, Nintendo could do a direct on the 8th or 9th. Obviously we also have to consider that maybe it'll happen a week before Kirby, you know, the 14th, 15th or 16th. Those are sort of the dates all being floated out there of when we can expect a direct, I know, that's crazy, that's like a three week window but what is true at least is this kind of stuff happening is direct evidence of an incoming direct because remember, the digital listing isn't there for tears of the kingdom yet and that was updated on the eShop as well. So while this video is focusing on the update to Advanced Wars, OnePlus 2 Reboot Camp, taking pre-orders at stores, you can already pre-order tears of the kingdom at stores, in fact you've been able to pre-order for years, not special editions or anything because those aren't announced yet. It's obviously nice to see that Advanced Wars, OnePlus 2 Reboot Camp is getting its time to shine and going to be available probably within the next month or two. If I had to guess, I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo's gonna launch this in March and sort of pair this with Bayonetta as a couple March games. Maybe they end up waiting until April because right now they have no exclusive available in April so maybe it'll be an April game, whatever. However, Nintendo wants to space it out as we get on our road to tears of the kingdom on May 12th. So naturally there's gonna be a direct. It's happening, we know it's happening. It happens literally every February, the last four years and they've had one early in the year pretty much the last decade. So what can we expect? What can we want? Well, earlier in a video like this, we talked about the top 10 things we want, the top 10 things we wish, like our wish list of 10 games that we wanna see in this direction. We all came up with some pretty crazy stuff, right? Stuff that's pretty unrealistic. I think I had three different Zelda game announcements in mind. I mean, come on, we all know that's not gonna happen. So here's what I want you to do. I want you to put together a list of five things you don't wish for, but expect. What five things do you expect to be in this direct? Let's keep these two realistic expectations. As an example, I'll give you a five off the bat. Try to come up with five of your own. Tears of the kingdom, blowout trailer, okay? Maybe that, I'm just gonna leave it at that because everything after that is speculation and wants and desires. So tears of the kingdom trailer. Advance Wars 1-2 Reboot Camp trailer and release date, okay? I expect those two things. Let's go with Splatoon 3 DLC announcement. Let's go with Xenobite Chronicles 3 DLC announcements, right? We already know a little bit of it, but we're gonna get some more. And then I'm gonna go with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC announcement and date for the next wave. So those are the things that I expect. I think they're very realistic. Now the question is, what do you expect beyond those five things? Let me know down in the comments below. I do wanna thank everyone for being here and choosing to get your news and conversations around Nintendo right here at Nintendo Prime. We are on our road to 100,000 subscribers. We just crossed 85,000. It's absolutely insane. I really appreciate all the support heading into 2023 here. As we actually have one of our best viewer months of all time in a January. This is insane. We don't usually do well in Januarys and here we are starting out with a better month than pretty much any month we had last year. That is insane. So let's keep this momentum going from our road to 100,000 and beyond. You guys are epic and amazing and awesome. And who knows, maybe you might catch me playing a little bit of Zelda on a live stream later today. Catch you guys in the next video.


Today we're going to talk about harvesting more than you ordinarily would with cabbage. If you look at this head of cabbage right here, it's ready to harvest and it can be made into coleslaw or what have you, Swedish meatballs, if you had enough of them you can make sauerkraut out of them, following recipes and such. And many times people will harvest these, they'll cut it off and they'll think they're done. Then they'll tear out all these leaves in the roots, throw it on the compost pile or maybe work it into the garden and that'll be end of it. However, if you cut this off and leave the roots and the leaves that are there, in about two weeks you'll get something like this. You'll get between four to five heads and it can vary a little more, a little less, starting up where the old head was. And as these grow they'll also form very nice little heads of cabbage that can be used for the same purpose that you use the larger head of cabbage. So I'm going to show you now how I basically cut off the head of cabbage and what it looks like and you'll see that there isn't much there to really look at and as time goes on, if you leave it alone you will get basically another smaller crop afterwards. Here I'm peeling back some of the less desirable leaves. If you look in here you'll see that basically it doesn't look like anything else is going to come out of this. You don't really see anything much for growth of anything, but if you leave this in about two weeks you should have some very nice buds popping up out of here that look similar to those and you'll have another crop started for a later fall harvest.


Youth Development Assistant in the Ministry of Youth Development and Sports and founder of God's Anointed Music Ministry, GAM, Shirley-Anne Cyril Mears, organized a back-to-school concert on the Derrick Walker Square last week to offer the school population some inspiration as they headed back to school at the start of a new academic year. Mears was pleased with the outcome and the support given to her by various agencies in stage in the concert. I am just so happy for the inspiration to do this back-to-school concert. I had this back-to-school supplies drive for our students and we know that with all of the ills of society our children are depressed our children they feel that that sense of hopelessness and I just wanted to do this gospel concert where we invite the Holy Spirit God to be in the lives of our children, to encourage them as they go back this new school year to have this spiritual upliftment and to continue serving him and to live for him. Minister responsible for youth development and sports, the Honorable Kenson Kazeme, attended the concert and had some words of inspiration for the students in attendance. He considered it a worthwhile event. Any event that we can engage our young people in meaningful conversation in meaningful parts of the art form including music is something that I will support as the Minister of Youth Development and Sports and something that our ministry will also support. So I think it's a very good initiative. I mean starting the the tomb in prayer is pretty much the best way to go and as I said in my speech it is something that we need more of in this nation and it's something that we're going to continue to encourage. Commanding officer of the Salvation Army, Captain Woosdell Louis, thanked Mayors for the opportunity to participate in the concert as they too are interested in the development of young people. Today it is a wonderful privilege for me to to be to take part of this wonderful initiative that Miss Mayors is undertaking. I am glad I am so privileged that she's invited me to be here but as the Salvation Army officer or commanding officer we care about people especially the young people the less fortunate people the marginalized one. Meanwhile President of the St. Lucia Mission of Seven Day Adventists in St. Lucia Pastor Roger Stephen was of the opinion that the concert will have instill much needed spiritual guidance in the students who attended. I am very pleased I'm very elated to see what is happening here at the square today. A back to school initiative just to pray for the young people to pray for the students of this nation. I think it is a very very timely initiative especially when we see what is happening around St. Lucia the the violence the fight the gun the killing senselessly and when we can see our young people our students can come together in such a way using the talents to glorify God. I think it's a very very good initiative and even so far seeing the talents of the young people those who sang those who danced you know those who played the instrumental pieces it is just a wonderful thing. As for Mrs. Mears her aim is to continue making a positive change among the island's youth through her musical ministry. From the Ministry of Youth Development and Sports I'm Ryan O'Brien.


In this video I want to give you a few principles that will make you a better crosser of the ball and allow you to get more assists. So what are these principles? Well number one I want you to really focus on being more composed when it matters most. That final pass, the final cross, the final ball is so important and a lot of us are really good at keeping possession, completing our passes in the defensive third or the middle third of the field. But when it comes time to produce that killer pass, that perfect cross that will produce a goal, that's where we really lack our quality and focus. So how do you stay composed? If you don't know about me I used to be a huge underachiever but through obsessive self-improvement I found my success. Earned a college scholarship, played for my national football team, a YouTube channel with over 100 million views. I've helped players worldwide and I'd love to help you improve faster and achieve more. I want you to take a deep breath. Okay don't rush your cross. Yes you need to get it in before the defender closes you down but it's really important that you take time to compose yourself so taking a nice deep breath before you whip that ball into the box is a great idea. The other thing I want you to think about is not just hitting it into the box and hoping. A lot of us we get into these really good dangerous areas but instead of picking out a teammate we just whip the ball into a quote-unquote good area and expect our teammates to be there. Well guess what they're not always going to be there and you're going to create more assists for yourself. You're going to create better goal scoring opportunities for your teammate if you get your head up and you actually try to hit a teammate rather than just whipping a good ball into the box. So when you have a chance to put a cross remember take a deep breath get your head up find a teammate give him a chance to attack the ball rather than just hitting and hoping. So that's the first principle being composed when it really matters most when it's time to produce that final ball. The next thing I want you to think about is putting your cross into the space for your teammate to attack. So don't cross the ball where your teammate is unless you're really pinging it at him with a lot of pace and there's not too much flight or height on the ball. But if you're putting a cross into him that you want him to attack put it into the space for him to attack. Don't hit it right at him because especially with an out swing cross like this with the outside of your foot or with the inside of your foot if you're hitting it right at him it's going to take him further away from goal than he wants to be. If you want to give him a good opportunity to score think about putting the ball into the space that he's going to run into rather than hitting it directly at him.

The third principle I want you to think about when you're crossing a ball is keeping it away from the goalkeeper you can deliver a really great cross into the box but if it's too close to the keeper he's just going to grab it and start a counter attack for his team. So think about keeping it away from the keeper it obviously always varies depending on where you are on the field but a good general rule of thumb is trying to hit areas in the second six so between the penalty spot and the six yard box is kind of where you want to put it. As you can see in this video I'm hitting some good crosses but some of them are probably too close to the goalkeeper and I just wanted to demonstrate this as well sometimes you don't have to put the ball in the air if you can pick out a teammate and put it on the ground for him it's almost a better and usually is a better alternative so instead of always thinking that you have to whip the ball in the box if you can get your head up and put it on your teammate's foot you're going to give him better opportunities to score and create more assists for yourself. The final cross I wanted to show you guys in this video and it's a great thing to think about is you don't always have to be by the end line to cross the ball into the box just think about sometimes you see a winger or a fullback whip a nice bending ball across the back line for the opposing winger or striker to attack. So you can put balls in on the ground you can put them in the air but you don't always have to be by the end line to cross the ball sometimes putting an early ball into the box is a better alternative because it will catch defenders and it will catch the goalkeeper off guard just make sure if you are doing this you're getting that ball over the first line of the defense because it's very easy for them to win a header and again create a counter attack for their team.

The first time I met him, I was like super overwhelmed.  I've just come here to learn things. Do things like swimming, jumping, climbing. What is the whole purpose of going fast? As I get faster and faster, I become absolutely cool. No, what do you do to unwind? I don't wind up. There are millions of people following us. You think there's some sort of responsibility towards us on... Just stay loyal to one thing, that your wonderfulness is not compromised for any damn thing. The pleasure of meeting the man that I'm going to introduce on stage now before. The first time I went to meet him, I was like super overwhelmed. I was like, oh my, because he's, he's sadguru, right?  And then I went and I met him and I realized that he's literally as chill, fun, amazing, like you and I. And I am super excited about this session. Are you pumped? So on this discussion, I have, it's not just me. This is going to be graced by two other very amazing YouTubers. So I'd like to welcome on stage, Mumbai's Nikhil and BU Nick. Whenever you're ready, guys, let's make some noise. What's up, guys? Once more. What's up, Machas? Fun story time. Nikunj forgot to pack an outfit for today. As always. And we told him that we are dressing up, so you should dress up. So he's the only one dressed up now. I thought it was fun in my head. Sorry about that. I am with him. You would, no, but you were very, yeah. That was the joke, that was the plan. Fine, whatever, I'll let that pass. Anyway, so this is happening. This is a great platform for people like us to talk to sadguru. I have had this pleasure before. And I remember the one hour that I spent talking to you was the calmest hour I've had in the longest time. And I just didn't know that you could feel like that, you know, when you're talking to somebody. So to begin with, obviously, we have questions. All of us, we are a generation of questions. We always have them. We're always asking. Oh, no, we asked questions before you. Oh, great. So then we're taking that forward. Yeah. That's perfect. I have three questions primarily. So the first one is, I'm going to jump right into it.  Every little thing that goes wrong in life feels like the end of the world. For example, a heartbreak. Breakups are bad, right, guys? Breakups are tough. Failing in exams, fighting with your... Why is that funny? It's bad. Fighting with your family, getting in a fight, getting in a fight with your teachers, friends. And at that moment in time, it just feels like the worst thing to happen to us. And then eventually in a few years, you get to a place where you look back and you're like, I don't know why I was stressing over this so much. But in the time that you spent stressing over these things that went bad, you end up sort of like doing more damage. Do you get me? Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah. So what is your advice to all of us young people about this?  Namaskaram and good afternoon to all of you. Well, it's not just under 25 people doing this nonsense. Even the sixty-year-olds are still doing the same nonsense. So he was just asking me, Nikuj was asking me or somebody else was asking me just now, why I decided to do this youth and truth and under 25 all this? Well, it's a constant thing for me wherever I go in the world. Fifty-sixty-year-olds come up to me and say, after going with through something with me, they say, Sadhguru, where were you when I was twenty-twenty-five? You came when I'm sixty, what is the use now? So I heard this for a long time.  But the problem with youth is by the time they've figured out, by the time they bring some clarity to themselves, this energy is not a permanent thing. It will go down slowly. Well, I am an exception. But you will see most people slowly sink. But before the energy is go down, if you had clarity, this would fire you in the right way. So it's like you're in a room, you can't figure out which is the door. If you had lot of energy, you would break your head. So I thought this should happen to people as early as possible. So that's why. But what advice would you give them? What should be the thought, what should be the first? What can be the first thought when we feel like everything's going wrong? Well, we need to understand this.  In between whatever the hell is happening, you're on the profit side. No matter what is happening, you're still gaining. You can't lose. And anyway, life is not like your school or college.  So what's the problem? I didn't get it. I missed that. I said everybody shall pass. They didn't get it, I said. So, nobody is detained, I'm saying. Because you live not the right way. Somebody gets detained, no such thing. Everybody shall pass. So, just the most important thing is you live to live and to live totally. Living totally does not mean party seven days of the week. Living totally means every dimension that is there for a human being to explore must happen. It's very important. I have a question for you. Does one get less creative as they age and if yes, why? Not me. Most of the people, being creative versus getting experience, that's what I think. As they age, the family, children, problems, solution, offers, money. If there are problems, you could drop them, but can you live without them? Of course not. So, creativity. So the thing is, see people, one fundamental problem is we have created an education system where you misunderstanding memory and information as intelligence. This is the biggest mistake we've made. This is the reason why someone who is growing up in a city looks smarter than somebody in the village simply because of information. Information is not intelligence.  There will be… if you are… if you are a PhD in something, your phone will know more than the PhD. So this pretence of having memory, pretending that memory is intelligence has to go. Now, younger and old is just a question of the burden of memory that you carry. You don't know how to carry your memory. What… See, we must understand this. People are not suffering their life. They are suffering two most fantastic faculties that we have. That only we have. No other creature on this planet has. One is a vivid sense of memory and a fantastic sense of imagination. So this is all people are suffering. What happened ten days ago, you're suffering. What may happen day after tomorrow, you already suffer. You are not suffering life. You are suffering your memory and your intelligence. When are you going to learn to handle this? Is twenty-five too early, you think? No. You must figure it out as quickly as possible. How to handle my memory and my imagination to my benefit? If you don't know this, twenty-five or fifty-five or sixty-five, you'll be still the same, because sixty-year-old people think they have a right to worry themselves to death. You don't have to worry yourself to death. Death will anyway come. I'm saying there's no need to work for it. I'm sorry, I'm just going to budge in here. You've said that, you know, death is going to come. No, no, I didn't say that it comes anyway. It didn't comes anyway? That's like that. It's going to come anyway. I'm not saying you said it's coming, but it's going to come anyway.   But then, is that the thought you have when you are speeding in a car at Siachen or on a bike? On a bike. On a bike. When you are being the rider that you are standing on your bike and you are going through like stokeland, hilly, dangerous regions. What is the thought in your mind? I want to know that. Oh, generally I have no thought in my mind. This is a very important thing that people think thought is a big thing. Thought is not the biggest thing in your life. Thought is just recycling of the data that you already have. Nothing new happens in it. So if you want to recycle your trashcan, you can go on doing it. But the important thing about life is you have enhanced your sense of perception that constantly you're drinking more life. No, I mean not the other things, okay? I mean life. You're drinking in more life all the time. So where is the room for thought? So about speed. Speed is not for me. People think is it your adrenaline. I have no adrenaline. Actually as I get faster and faster, I become absolutely cool. And my right leg is always heavy when I sit in a car. So the speed is not about adrenaline. Speed is about competence. If there is no competence, it's just adrenaline you may kill yourself or somebody else. It's very important, it is a question of competence. So is death on your mind? This is one thing I have done to myself. Not for a moment I ever forget that I'm mortal. I always know I could fall dead right now. Because of this, if you know that it's a brief amount of time that you have in this world, you would live totally, isn't it? A whole lot of people think they're immortal, that's their only problem. That's why they're postponing their joy and their wonderful nature to tomorrow. They think they can do it tomorrow. So if there's no adrenaline when you're driving fast or riding fast, what is the main purpose of going fast? As a human being, we do things like swimming, jumping, climbing, because we love the drug which is being produced inside our head, right? What is the whole purpose of going fast? The whole purpose of going fast is just this. There is something in a human being ultimately in this world. In human society, among the monkeys, among the lizards, among everybody, ultimately the only thing that is valued is competence in their world, wherever they are. So, like driving at a certain speed through difficult terrain is more a test of yourself. Whether you can do it or not is the question. And just to get to that edge all the time, if you get adrenaline, you will not go very far because your competence will go away.  I don't enjoy anything in particular.  Do you see what I meant by, you know, he's so chill in life like he's... I thought I'm hot. You're hot. Pretty much. Listen, I'll give him that and that outfit. I'm going to give him that. But in life, I feel like being hot headed is not something you are. You're more chill. You're more relaxed. This is my getting old goal. Getting old goals. And as hot. And as chill as possible. Everyone has a different attitude. That's what I'm saying. This is a very generational thing. When we were growing up, if we saw something really nice, we saw, oh man, it's hot. Now you're saying it's cool. I think it's because of the global warming maybe. Everything else is hot. You were saying like the reason I drive fast and it's not to get a little rush is so that I can get on time and get the Dumbili local bus. Everyone? Different reason of getting it. City boy, yeah. So I'll give you my second question for you would be, on a more funner side, since we're taking it up as a child, we know that when you were a child, you were a very quiet child. You didn't speak much, but your teachers say that they looked at you and they knew you always up to some mischief. Also there's a lot of very... Most of the time they didn't see me because I was not in the class. Whenever they did. Whenever they did. Probably in the canteen. In the canteen or wherever it was. I went much further. Yes, we would like to know about how further that was. We want to hear a story from them. We would love to know that. Yesterday, two of my teachers who were in high school, in the demonstration school in Mysore, you know the regional school of education, they came to visit our yoga center. So now they were all overwhelmed seeing the center and the work that's happening. So they were asking me, you know the one teacher did not remember my face or anything about me, I said that's because ma'am you were teaching algebra and I never was there. So it's not your fault that you don't remember me. So how further should I tell, should I expose myself like this in front of? We would love to know. We would love to know. We want to know. See for me, I found everything, fortunately the school was located in a place where there was a whole lot of nature, there was a lake close by and forest and everything. So for me, I got so engaged with those things. If you want to know my first venture, they put me to school at the age of three and a half. I was three and a half years old and they put me to school because I was kind of spilling out of the house a bit. So this maid holds me by the hand and takes me and leaves me in the school. I kind of after few days I resisted that she can't hold my hand and take me to the class. So I made a deal with her, you have to leave me near the gate. So she left me at the gate and of course I did not go into the school. I found the Grand Canyon, really. And I explored life and it was so fantastic. Over three months passed like this and somehow they discovered I have not been going to school for three and a half months. But the worst thing they did was when I came home, they were all accusing me, you have been playing in the gutter. They reduced the Grand Canyon into a gutter. In my experience it was like a Grand Canyon. I collected a whole lot of species. Maybe I don't know I was working for a biology PhD or something but they made all that into trash and said you are playing in the gutter. I thought I was the youngest guy to bunk like. I bunked school in sixth standard but then no comparison. Three and a half years old no one can beat that. Also speaking of schooling and parents and careers. We are in right now, we are in an age where there are so many different offbeat careers coming up. As YouTubers, we get this question all the time. How did you talk to your parents about it? How do we convince our parents about this really new career that we have? I want to ask you, if you had to convince your parents and tell them that this is what you... Or how did that discussion go? Did that happen where you had to sit them down and tell them that this is what I am going to do for the rest of my life? I want to do YouTube now. Like did that happen with YouTube? Doing YouTube right now. Well, not everybody can be convinced about everything, okay? Some things are just done. So just to give you an example, when I... When I passed my 12th standard, at that time it was called PUC, after that I decided I will educate myself. I don't want to go to college. This is a family where everybody is educated, not going to college is like sacrilege. At least today there is a little more flexibility.  That was a generation, if you don't go to college, you lost your life on the street, that's about it. So they were terrified of this. My father being a physician, he was just freaked about it. He is a very studious man, all his life was second, third in everything that he has done. So he couldn't believe this that I want to educate myself. So I did one thing and because of this suddenly everybody thought I've become some kind of an enemy and they're not even talking to me properly. I did one thing, I was a... just to tell you, I was such a big eater, I would eat ten times, eat more at least ten times of what I eat today, but I never was putting on weight or anything because my level of physical activity was such. I could just run up a coconut tree, I was made like that. So I was every day cycling about fifty, sixty kilometers, swimming in the Cauvery and going back like this. So eating this, I decided to go to my city university library. Every day when they opened at nine, I went eight in the evening, they closed. That entire time I sat there, read all kinds of stuff, from Homer to popular mechanics to national geographic to literature to geography, this, that, whatever. Whatever came my way, every day for one year I read like this, just all kinds of things. But the most important thing for me was, though I was such a huge eater at that time, this one year I went without a meal. Morning I ate as much as I could, breakfast at home and I went there and sat there the entire day without a meal, which was a huge achievement for me because without food I could stay. This kind of expanded my way of looking at life. But you know family drama started, my mother started crying.  Then I said, if I must go to college, I'll go for literature. My father said, what will you do, reading poetry? You must become a doctor. He has seat ready for me in the military, medical college, everything. I said no. Then they said, okay, at least do engineering. Then I said, see, please do engineering. If I say I don't want to be a doctor, if you told me become a veterinary doctor, Ayurvedic doctor, at least a witch doctor, I would look at it. If I say no doctor, you say engineer. I'm not going to listen to this. Your problem is society. Your problem is not me. So I just went for literature. And these three years, I went there in the beginning and they all had ready-made notes, the teachers, they would read. And everybody writing down, those days fountain pens, karakara karakara, it makes noise. It just irritated me. I said, I don't want to listen to this karakara noise. I gave them a suggestion. If you give that notes wherever you've got it, we will photocopy it and give it back to you We don't have to come, you don't have to come. Then, you know, if I'm there, I'll ask hundred questions. So they didn't like it. Then I made a deal with all the teachers that they'll give me attendance. That was my only concern. So once a month, I just... Once a month, I went to college just to check if they're keeping their part of the deal. While I was so similar, yeah? So I explored the geography of where my sword restricts.  Just wandering aimlessly. But today, like when I went for the Rally for Rivers Board where all the top experts are there, some questions came up when I just telling them casually, they said, Sadguru, how do you know all this? I said, what... what was aimless wandering? Where I paid absolute attention to everything, from a worm to an insect to anything and everything, I paid attention. Now it's become formidable knowledge. I never intended to learn anything. I just paid attention because it was life. And this is all it takes. We have come here to live. There is no other damn purpose. Those of them who want to go to heaven can go today. Why are they postponing? If it's such a great place, I don't see why you should postpone it, isn't it so? This is very important for the youth. If anybody says there is a better place than this earth, it is a crime. It's because of that we have destroyed so many things here. I wanted to ask you one thing as young entertainers and like, as you all know that we've got YouTube channels and there are millions of people following us. You think there's some sort of responsibility towards us on like how to go about it or we should just do what we like to do? What is it that you would like to do? Let's look at that first. See essentially everybody is doing whatever they're doing. Mainly because they think in some way it enhances their life. It brings pleasure to them. It makes you wonderful.  All you have to do is just be loyal to that one thing, that you're always wonderful. That's all. Rest of it will naturally happen according to your intelligence and capability what has to happen will happen.  This is like it once happened there was a man called Shankaran Pillai who was running a pet shop and someone came and they wanted to buy a dog. There was a reasonably grown-up dog, a golden rich river. He said, I would like to take the dog. How much is it? He said, twenty-five thousand rupees. He said, come on, for a full grown dog twenty-five thousand. Why? He said, it's too wonderful. He said, yes, it's a wonderful dog, but twenty-five thousand. That's a price. So he paid the money. He took, petted the dog. The dog was very friendly. Then he was just about to leave. He asked, but is this dog loyal? Shankaran Pillai said, absolutely loyal. I sold him twelve times within hours he's back. So no matter what is happening, just stay loyal to one thing, that your wonderfulness is not compromised for any damn thing. It's important. So morally, you should be loyal and you should be unique. Seamless branding, like. It's quite a shameless plug there. We're going to let that go. But, Sadhguru, I really want to know what do you do to unwind? I don't wind up. Great. Listen, one second. Brother, can you stop him? Savitri, do you remember, I said this is going to be his answer? I was backstage and I'm like, I really want to know what he does to chill and what he does to unwind. And I'm pretty sure he's going to say, I don't wind. But know for real though, other than we know that there's a fun side to you. Your sense of humor is great. You have all these cool cars and bikes and all of that. No, nothing. It's just there. Somebody, because when they want their car or motorcycle to be really driven, they bring it to me. So I give it. The works. But is it true? We're meeting backstage, right? Yes. Give it to me. We're meeting backstage, right? But is it true that if anything goes wrong with your bike or car, you'll not let anyone touch it and you will make sure it's okay by yourself? That was a long time ago. Now I don't have that kind of time. Awesome. I think we're going to open this up to the audience because I'm pretty sure a lot of us have a lot of questions. So we'll go one by one. Do we have a mic in the audience though? Perfect. Okay. Hello, Sadhguru. I wanted to know what is the one major difference you see between the youth of your time, like when you were young. You're still young, but literal sense is. And the youth of this generation, like was one major difference. And what's that one quality you would want of that youth to be imbibed in this generation? If you ask me what's the major difference, what I saw... what I saw going around meeting a lot of youth of today is, during our time, we were always thinking about what we can do for this nation, what we can do for this world, how to cause a revolution about something. Always the debates and discussions were around that. But today, most youth are only talking about their own personal aspirations, which was quite... I don't know, it's amusing and also little alarming sometimes. But at the same time, it is largely because of the economic comfort you have today, which was not there at that time. That's the main reason. So if... because in this country, we're still not one nation, all right? There are people who are living in this level of comforts and well-being. There are people who are somewhere in between. At least you can easily make this country into five layers of existence, literally. Just now, I was in Trichy this morning and I was talking to the farmers. If you look at their condition, it's a large congregation of farmers in Tamil Nadu. If you look at them and if I look at you, this is a different world altogether. It's not the same world. So because it's like this, still there are parts of India which needs some revolutionary action. There are parts of India where personal aspiration is good enough. I think it's important that there's a part of you which constantly thinks about how to cause some kind of a major difference to the larger populations. This must be there in our minds, it's important. All right, let's take... We've got time for two more questions, I think. And I'm not going to choose, Akshay? Hi, Joe Masio. Hey guys. Hi, it's Akshay. So I have to say, I really appreciate how... how much of a healthy mind it seems that you have. The way that you process information, the way that you experience the world, the way that you seem to be present at all times, even the way that you're putting that much of attention in me, really appreciate that presence. I talk a lot about mental health with the youth. It is a word that more and more I become uncomfortable saying because when you say mental health, you're already separating the other holistic health to one that focuses only on the mind, right? And when I talk about mental health, for me it's body health, it's spiritual health, and it's not only the mind, right? I wear a shirt that says breathe, because for me it's also connected to the body. My question for you is, can you talk a little bit about the connection between the mental health and the spiritual health because I see so many similarities in the way that you're experiencing the world, which seems in a very spiritual way, but I also don't even want to call it spiritual because it would be creating a division of how to experience the world. So... You better avoid that word because it's the most corrupted word on the planet right now. So, let me put it this way. In the yogic sciences, there is no separation between what is body and what is mind. We talk about the body like this, physical body, mental body, emotional body, energy body, etheric body and that is what is called as Anandamaya Kosha. So the five bodies is what we're talking about. We're not talking about a mind. Because what is it that you call as a mind? If there is a certain volume of memory and a certain amount of intelligence attached to it, that's what you call as a mind, isn't it so? Yes it is. Is it so? Hello? Why are you not in talking terms with me? So, if you look at this, every cell in your body has much more memory and much more intelligence than your entire brain has. For example, memory. You definitely don't remember how your great-great-great grandfather ten generations ago looked like. But his nose is sitting on your face right now. Your body remembers even a million years ago how your forefather's skin tone was. Not forgotten a thing. This kind of memory processing is not possible in your brain for sure. And when it comes to intelligence, what is happening in a single molecule of DNA is so complex, your whole brain is not good enough to figure that process. So both in terms of memory and intelligence is a lot more all across this body than just here. This has become important, mainly because we have kind of taken education straight out of European culture and put it here. And in the European culture, thought became very important because they went through about 300 to 400 years of very dogmatic religious practices that anybody who thinks something different was dead. So, they broke away from that about 150 years ago, which they called as renaissance, which was a big breakthrough for them, that they could think for themselves. Otherwise, everything that you need to say is already said in one book. This is the one more thing you're dead. This was the culture. So, they made thought, human thought into a very big thing. But you understand this, whatever kind of thought you have, is only from the limited data that's coming that's already stored in your mind, isn't it so? With this limited data, you may make permutations and combinations of it, but nothing new will ever happen. So, when we say mind or manas, we are looking at a dimension that has a separate silo, which is all across the body. There's more memory in every cell in the body than here. And we are looking at intelligence as chitta, as something totally different. So, to keep these two things separate is most important. It is only your memory which gets corrupted. It's in your memory that you go sick.  If I speak this, people will become very... you know, they think it's not compassionate to say these words, but I want you to understand this. This is because we have gotten trapped in our own memory bubble that this memory can go corrupt. What happened ten years ago, it can rot in your mind and become something very big after some time and cause this. Well, people always will argue, but there is a chemical process. Yes, this is the most sophisticated chemical factory on the planet. The question is only, are you a great CEO or a lousy CEO? There is a way that you can keep your chemistry the way you want. Just look at my eyes and say, I'm always stoned. Yeah. Never touched a substance. Always stoned and I can calibrate... I can calibrate how intoxicated I want to be or how less I want to be any moment. This is not something... see, the important thing is this, the question is not about intoxication being good or bad. The problem is it takes away your faculties. That is a problem. So as we looked at it earlier, one of the most important thing for a human being is that our actions are successful. Whether you're driving or riding or doing something, if you throw a ball, it must go where you want. Otherwise you feel not good because the purpose of human action is success. So if success has to happen, your body and your mind must take instructions from you. So within what all call drug, the problem is your body and your mind won't take instructions from you. That's the whole problem. So we are not against intoxication. We are against you becoming incompetent. That's the important thing. So we can show you a way that you can simply sit here and totally stoned out without anything from outside. You want to tone it down this moment, you can just tone it down and do what you want. Absolutely no impact on the system. This is not just talk like that. There's a whole lot of research on this. Scientists have found that there are millions of cannabis receptors in your brain. Why is it there? Because your body is supposed to produce it. You're not supposed to smoke. You're supposed to produce it in your system. And the Israeli scientists who researched this extensively called that dimension of chemistry in us as anandamide. Because you did not find any appropriate word. You searched the Indian scriptures and found the word ananda and called it anandamide that if you want, you can just be blissed out right now. So if you are blissed out, will you get crazy, I'm asking? Well, others think crazy. Other people may think you're crazy because you're always blissed out. That's their problem. They are the ones who are crazy. Because they've lost their bliss. Even the little joy that they had as children, that also they've lost.  Yes?   You get the posture. You don't have to practice out all the time on the street. So, mental health, looking at it separately is not the best way to do it. You must look at the physical, chemical balance within the system. If this one thing you manage, being physically well, mentally well is a natural consequence. The problem with the whole kind of education we have is, we want the consequence without the process. You don't bother about the consequence. You handle the process right, the consequence will happen. Now you want mangoes are coming already there in Bangalore? Not yet, not yet. Not yet. Mango is sweet, everybody likes to eat it. But nobody is interested in the tree. If you nurture the tree, mangoes will fall on your head. You don't have to dream about mangoes. Anyway it will come. Instead of nurturing the tree, people dream about mangoes. This is called as being goal-oriented. In yoga we say, if you're goal-oriented, you have one eye on the goal. You have one eye on the goal and only one eye to find your way, you have become incompetent. It's very important that today, this moment, whatever the hell you're doing, to do it as well as you can is more important than what will happen in the end, what will happen in the end. There's no such thing. Somebody, one of the celebrities in the country coming and asking me, Sadhguru, can you tell us how we can beat Pakistan in the cricket match? I said beating Pakistan, beating Pakistan is Indian Army's job.  How's the choice? All right, we've got one more question right there. Akshay. Okay, by the way guys, little piece of good news. It's not last three questions. We've got a lot of time on us, so it's cool. It's chill. I just wanted to like, I'm sorry, just before taking the question, I just wanted to ask, so if you're not goal-oriented, I feel that you push your goal too. So, what do you have to say about this? It's not just the process. See, well, to set a direction, we have a goal, all right? Whether you want to go this way or this way, you created a goal. That's all the job is. Once the goal has set the direction, it is a question of efficiency of walking or riding or driving or whatever the means of going there, isn't it? This will see everybody has a desire to win. But your desire is only a direction. Your desire doesn't do anything else. A desire sets you in a certain way. Desire doesn't get you to win. Every fool wants to win. But only those who play well will win, isn't it? I want to ask you one thing. What makes us a human being? You said we can get stoned whenever we want to. So what makes us a human being? And you think greed... I thought you were already born a human being. No, no, no. What makes you a human being? That's science. What makes you a human being? Not organs. What is the whole purpose? Does greed plays an important role in the evolution of a human being? And if we see the life so easily, if you want to get stoned so easily... No, no, no. I'm not talking about getting stoned as becoming... No, no, no. This is important.  No, no. I'm asking. That's why Nikhil is not taking off his glares, actually. Yeah. Stoned. I'm talking about... I have mastered the technique also, by the way. That's why. I'm talking about being stoned means you are in a state where no matter what is the nature of activity you're doing, with who you are, what is the result happening or not happening, you're still on. All the time you are on because you're stoned. Otherwise you would be affected. But right now people's idea of being stoned is sit in a corner like a dead chicken. That's not my idea of being stoned. You're hugely empowered because you intoxicate it. So what is the purpose? Purpose. You want to know?  See there are many creatures, people say approximately there are over a trillion creatures on this planet. I just want to cut you. Like my father used to tell me like I was a very dumb child. Like I never used to focus on studies. I can understand. Yeah. Yeah. Because I used to ask a lot of questions, you know. No, no. Because I'm your father's age I'm saying I can understand. I never used to understand anything. I say that's it. I was very bad in studies. You cannot say. I can say. I mean I was father's age I can say.  You asked the question, you're trying to answer it. What is this? No, I just want to know like I was listening to you. So what makes you a human being? There are over trillion creatures on this planet from worms to insects to birds to animals, all kinds. Many of them fantastic creatures, a lot of people even call themselves that I'm a tiger, all right? Many are calling themselves lions but tigers, lions, elephants, no matter what they are, they're just called that. We never call them a tiger being or a lion being or an elephant being. Only for you, we said you are a human being.  None of them know how to be. They're all programmed for compulsive reactions. They exist in a world where it's all by compulsive instinctive reactions but you know how to be. But human beings are trying to prove that they don't know how to be. They just don't know how to be most of them unfortunately. They're trying to prove the nature wrong but you know how to be. Only thing is you must keep your choices open. Choices means right now is it true? If you wish, you can sit here and look at the person next to you.  Why am I sitting next to this horrible creature? Possible or no? Possible. Or you can look at them nicely and think wonderful things about them or don't even have to think anything. If you don't think anything simply look at another life you can sit here in wonderful company. Possible or no? So you being wonderful or horrible right now is a choice. Are you exercising the choice or you falling back in evolution and behaving compulsively that's all the big difference. A human has the capacity to be a conscious life and we also do the same things.  We are doing the same things but the big difference is we can do it consciously. They do it as a programmed system. This one thing if you do suddenly you will see your experience of life is so phenomenal that it is such a big phenomena what is the meaning of life such a question will never come to you. There is no such thing as meaning of life. It's a phenomena beyond all meanings. If there is no profoundness of experience if you are living on the surface especially if you are living in the thought process then you are thinking what is the meaning because all you have is words when you are full of words you want a meaning for the word. Tell me what is the meaning of a tree tell me what is the meaning of a bird tell me what is the meaning of the cloud what is the meaning of the empty sky is there some meaning to it? Human heads the universe has no meaning it's too fantastic to be trapped in a meaning that's the universe All right let's take Guests tell us your name so we'll know you. Namaskaram Sadhguru My name is Rakesh first of all thank you so much for being here I should say on this planet to guide us. I've been here only I know I look see this happens to me when I'm on a land in United States in the immigration these days I have global entry so it's okay otherwise always I stood in the immigration where it's marked resident alien I look around and see I'm the only one who fits the description you are I actually here only Yes Sadhguru my question is I know you want to speak from your heart but it works better I'm quitting comedy now right? Okay Sadhguru my question is I have seen youngsters okay they are addicted to drugs or alcohol they smoke and I have even heard okay one of my friends telling that this is just water okay I have even heard one of my friends telling if I recollect correctly that even Lord Shiva used to consume substance and they take it as an excuse and they imitate it saying that even Shiva used to do it okay why should not we imitate it so that is the excuse which few of the youngsters take it to consume the substances so what is your advice to them? Well everybody is these days asking why can't all these things be made legal why do we have to buy it in the back street I understand the logic but the thing is just this why can't I smoke what do you call it these days huh okay why can't why can't I smoke up you already called I got you one why can't I smoke up and go to my college the thing is just this you can only thing is suppose you want to get on a plane your pilot comes smoked up would you like to go on that plane or let's say you need a surgery your surgeon comes smoked up or your cricket team goes to Australia and it's smoked up you like it so this is all the question is the question is just this do you want to live or do you want to avoid life you know you just asked us what it's called these days I want to know why it was called back then what was called you just asked us what it's called these days I want to know what it's called back then they used to say doped up doped up I think we should get that back right it's way cooler than smoking up listen I don't know what you're talking about alright let's go to the next question please Akshay you choose if someone has to be murdered it's you passing that parcel we should say stop or what hi hello so first of all it's an honour to be talking to you okay I have a question what do you think is more important to a youth being right and staying with the point or staying with the point knowing that they're wrong but admitting that they're wrong they would be doubting their own self it's not a detail she's asking if you're smoked up no no no this is how I am without being smoked up only imagine so see it's best the sooner you get this in your life it's best because if you look at life without a keyhole vision of what I want kind of life if you look at it little larger life there is no right thing to do in the world there's no really something called as really right and really wrong it is just that people are taking positions and saying I am right you're wrong if you go in terms of in any situation with people if you talk about who is right and who is wrong of course I am right and you're wrong this is the basis of all arguments and fights and everything else conflict isn't it so instead of looking at what is right and wrong why don't we see what is appropriate to the situations in which we exist what is the most appropriate thing that I can do right now what would be best for me and everything around me that's what I do this may not be the right thing if you want to take examples like this in Tamil Nadu traditionally they have this a real man a real man means he is called Airaanakonnavan that means one who is slain a thousand elephants he is the real man well Virupan got half the way but we shot him dead as a criminal so I am saying those were times when elephants were just in such numbers if people had to live to protect them a man would go not with a magnum 400 but with a sword or a spear and kill the elephant that guy was a big hero because he killed the elephant but today if you kill the elephant you know where you're going so the question is not about what is right and wrong the question is what we are doing is it appropriate to the situations times in which we exist above all people are always talking about integrity as good versus bad right versus wrong morals, ethics, values I am on camera I am telling you I have no morality for me my integrity comes from my humanity not from my morality because morally correct people are doing the most horrible things on the planet people who think they are morally correct they do the most horrible things on the planet to each other human beings and to larger groups all kinds of things if you don't let your humanity sleep well when you say humanity the important thing is this because you asked what makes you a human being in your brain there is something called as a reptilian brain which is approximately the size of your fist what is the rest of it that is a cerebral cortex so the fundamental difference is this the reptilian brain always wants to set up boundaries you in Bangalore city are the dogs peeing all over the place are they hello I am just asking is life still working so he is peeing all over the place not because he has a urinary problem or something he is building a pea kingdom he is setting his boundary all the time in his nature he cannot think beyond that he has to set his territory he has to set his kingdom the most fantastic thing about the human being is we can use another dimension of intelligence which has happened only to us on this planet that we can think beyond our boundaries we can live without boundaries within ourselves well we have still not built a world where we can erase the national boundaries and other boundaries and live and erase our boundaries if you do this one thing if you have erased the boundaries in your mind of who is mine who is not mine do whatever the hell you want everything will be right all right we will take one last question Akshay Akshay if you want you can ask me hello Hi Sadguru my name is Franoy over here I am 24 years old oh you just won your shot after that they will throw you out of here I guess so I didn't have a specific question when I picked up this mic this is something more personal if you can hold it right it's not very clear so this is not a very specific question or generic for that matter I hope that this question will answer a lot of others I asked the question what is this the question is so long so I just wanted to ask that there are goals that I want to achieve and I also know that there are certain things I shouldn't do that will hinder my progress so I am trying to find methods of accountability for myself where I can push myself and get that as you said that we all are trying to win in some ways but I am not able to figure out methods of accountability within myself to reach that if that makes sense no it doesn't I will answer the question anyway I want to break it down I have this similar question that I want to reach somewhere and there are few ethics of me which is stopping me to do certain things which will make me reach there faster so ethics are models you can say so what do you do about it should we concentrate on the goal and reach there faster or should I hold on to my ethics and models and let it be a little slow and be there see whatever you do in your lives I am sure each one of you will go out and do so many different things but whatever you do is it very important it is relevant to the world in which we are living hello is it very important it is relevant suppose you set a goal today in next twenty-five years this is where I want to be in those twenty-five years the entire situation changed because you want to get your goal isn't it a disaster so everybody is thinking my dream should be fulfilled let me tell you what's my blessing to you how's the George how's the George my blessing to you is may your dreams not be fulfilled let something that you could not dream of in your life happen to you because what can you dream of I am asking you what can you dream of only a little exaggeration of what you already know isn't it so can you dream of something totally absolutely new which is not in your experience so you are rolling out all the possibilities of life simply because you have set a goal because somebody is telling you you must be goal oriented no you don't be goal oriented constantly work on how to enhance this piece of life it is like you know you have a Maruti car nothing wrong with it it's a good car to go home and go to the office but you want to race in the F1 track well four wheels are going to go in four different directions if you want to go on that kind of speed you don't dream you build a machine isn't it similarly if you really want to go somewhere in your life you build this one don't worry about the damn goal we don't know what opportunity is the world will open up tomorrow morning how do you know just make yourself into a fantastic human being you will see life opens up in a million different ways but if you have one silly little dream and you work for it all your life what is the point of that so may your dreams not come true let something that you could not dream of happen to you I feel like all three of us are on a personal level because Nick wanted to be a bartender Nikhil was the he became a bartender Nikhil was working as airline crew I was working as a radio jockey and I remember we have this conversation every now and then where we are like you know this was the goal we had and then nobody saw YouTube coming nobody saw this happening and then now suddenly we have a life where we can sit and talk to Sadhguru in person so don't waste your life dreaming keep your eyes on every damn thing that you have open and look there are million doorways I think this brings us to the end of this session listen again I think the calmest hour we have spent what do you guys think two times in a row thank you so yeah I know it's a very weird vibe like I was just like after our discussion I remember just standing and thinking I was like what just happened did I even talk at all maybe I was stoned but thank you so much and thank you to everybody who is here have fun guys it's going to be great we are going to take your leave thank you bye guys okay on that note we'd like to get a picture with all of the panelists on stage would you like a picture yes so just crowd around the middle and turn around and face the cameraman big round of applause ladies and gentlemen to the panel on stage
