The quantity of business ideas that an average entrepreneur or potential entrepreneur can have is not something that can easily be managed because ideas come from everywhere around people and often goes without anything that can be done about them. Sadly, the reason why most plans are not executed is the confusion from having too many ideas at a time. In this video, I will be sharing with you 7 things to do when you have too many business ideas. 1. Write all of them down English philosopher and statesman Francis Beacon once said, Write down the thoughts of the moment. Those that come and sought for are commonly the most valuable. As your business idea comes to you, quickly get into the habit of recording them quickly.  Also, don't be in a haste to pursue the idea because of its freshness. Carry a notepad or use your phone to record each plan. Once you have registered it, return to whatever it was you were doing. Over time, this practice will turn into a habit and your natural instinct to chase down the idea will fade because you now know you have recorded it and can revisit it later. You can limit the places where your brain will have new big business ideas. Furthermore, when writing ideas, you tend to have more clarity about them. Being clear about your thoughts is essential as it allows you to ascertain whether or not that idea can be pursued at the moment or would be kept aside for the meantime. Use your mobile phone or merely traditional notebook to record all thoughts that will come to your mind regardless of where you are. 2. Use the AT20 rule One challenge in fact about having too many business ideas is a temptation to carry out all of them. Unfortunately, giving into that excitement often amounts to nothing. You may end up being busy yet not productive. The AT20 rule is also called the Pareto principle which says that 20% of our efforts will bring 80% of our results. Basically, the Pareto principle is the concept that suggests 2 out of 10 items on a general to-do list will turn out to be worth more than the other 8 items put together. You can use this process when you want to select the best possible ideas from the pool of too many business ideas to start with the implementation. Implementing this rule means fishing out a few of the concepts among your pile of ideas that will produce the most results and channeling all your focus on them rather than doing all and getting light outputs. For instance, if you have 20 possible business ideas ready for implementation, this rule suggests that you select the top 4 that will yield 80% results from the rest. Understanding this principle is essential to learning how to prioritize and make selections and if applied correctly, it is a handy tool for focusing resources on areas that produce the best results. 3. Match as many dots It's not always easy but it is possible for creative business owners to not just spiral but to spiral upwards. Moving upward is easier for a creative with too many ideas if he or she can match the dots together. This re-emphasizes the need to write down ideas. When all the plans are written, you will be able to see similarities between your thinking and determine which of the concepts can be matched to work together as one. It's not about just being more disciplined or finally settling down, it's about finding some basic rule of thumb that can help you figure out which projects will move you forward and finding ways to get more out of the investment of your time. This is not easy work. It takes pulling yourself out of the day-to-day hustle, getting a new perspective on what ties your story interest together and finding those opportunities to be strategic. It is not easy to do by yourself and it's definitely not easy to do it in your own head. 4. Rank ideas systematically When it comes to the assessment and ranking of the plans, you will really need a systematic approach. Placing priorities on ideas can be done in several different ways. You may decide to list the ideas from the obvious ones to the ones which are those that are incoherent. Likewise, you can rank ideas from the most important to the least important for your company. You may also make your prioritization based on what is pressing and seems more important at the moment. Generally, if you want to be systematic when it comes to your business ideas, start building strategic systems in your company. Creative individuals are usually so full of ideas and enthusiasm that they sometimes throw themselves into projects without thinking of the value being created through the work and who will benefit from it. If you work with a team, you must be sure that every member of your team takes part in the ranking process. Not only does this bring a sense of belonging to everyone, but it also gives room to see things from various perceptions. 5. Prune some branches Ideas are like a rose So just as rose bushes need to be pruned for a best appearance, so also ideas ought to be trimmed for better performance. While it is not out of place to try out new things, getting involved in every new idea can be energy draining. There are seasons when you need to prune in order to put your energy into just few branches. Many individuals feel guilty about letting some branches go or worry about others thinking that they are flaky if we redefine who we are. However, there is nothing wrong with redefining yourself and letting go of a few ideas. Some of the most exciting and successful business owners have redesigned their business models a million times. A practical example is Emily Thompson of Bean Boss who went from running a tanning salon to designing jewelry, designing websites and founding Bean Boss. And she made each of these decisions and transitions confidently. 6. Get help Having partners to share your idea will make it easy for you to navigate through the confusion that comes with having too many business ideas. Your partners can be a group of friends, colleagues or even members of a mastermind group that you all share the same interests. Freelance writer Karen Cordovae advises if you want to have a specific focus, pick something everyone in your group wants to improve upon. Maybe you're all looking to get better at online marketing, create an online course or just figuring out how to invoice more effectively, follow a podcaster or a bunch of different podcasts with similar topics. Each week someone in the group can pick an episode that everyone has to listen to that week. You can then comment, discuss, take a ways and decide what your plan to implement after listening. Business ideas and plans can be built and developed very fast by only hiring the team to put it together. It is best to outsource for people who know exactly what they're doing because it gives everyone the opportunity to use the knowledge and strength to their full potential. If the plan can be subcontracted to a team or company, get it done. The only way to find out if the ideas will be profitable is to get it built, done and ready for the marketplace. 7. Start Implementing Now you already have a short lease for immediate implementation of the specific ideas. Hence, you can't search for different reasons not to achieve the most important of them. Start working on the application according to the prioritization of your ideas that you already made. According to recent studies, the human brain can't focus on more than one thing at a time. So, pick one idea, establish a milestone and commit to completing that goal. Even if this goal is to explore the possible market for a business idea, at least, finishing the initial market research gives you a better understanding if you should pursue the idea any further or not. If you know something will work, yet you still fail to take action towards bringing it to life, you are in the wrong spot. Because every business has a lifespan, the longer you wait, the quicker that plan will deteriorate. Sometimes, at the time you finally decide to make a move, that business model or sales model can no longer be used. You could have made a fortune, but you didn't because you hesitated. Please don't be lazy, take action and get to it. When you know how to handle the situation of having too many business ideas correctly, ideas will be a blessing rather than a burden to you.


Herzlich willkommen bei der Konferenz. Wir haben die Interpretation in Englisch, German und Spanisch. Du findest die Interpretation-Channels auf der Symbolglobe. Auf der Globe siehst du die Eier.    Heute hat die Transformation des Transportsektors und der Automobilindustrie gesetzt. Wir brauchen eine neue Direktion für das Transportsektor, weil der Transportsektor ist der einzige, in dem die carbon emissions in den letzten Jahren erhöhen. Aber für ein paar Jahre wird die Automobilindustrie, aber es werden sehr viele Ängste sein in der Automobilindustrie, der Elektrifizierung, der Digitalisierung und der Automatisierung in Produktion.  Das ist etwas, das von Trady Union for many years. Yesterday, the Commission presented the EU fit for 55, a new package of measures with which climate neutrality is to be reached by 2050 is to be implemented. And huge changes are awaiting us in the automobile industry in in transport. The commission proposes that the combustion engine is faced out by 2035, i.e. to increase the emission, the emission standards in a way that makes it impossible for combustion engines to comply with it. So the question is how can we manage the transition? How can we reach higher proportion of electrical cars, cars without damaging the employment sector? And another challenge is the question, how can we reach higher capacity for alternative propulsion engines, also for buses and for vehicles of collective transport or public transport. The need is huge. The Rosa Luxemburg Foundation will publish a study in a few weeks. We made a poll in the automobile sector and in the production sector for alternative vehicles. We're listening to scientists from Brazil, the Czech Republic, France and Italy from Serbia. I hope I haven't forgotten anybody. Some of the authors are here tonight of the authors of the study, which makes me particularly happy. So the aim is to reach the just ambition and at the same time protect the sector against job losses so that we can build by building up alternative productions. It is important that mobility is still possible. Mobility means participation in society. And we as the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation with the progressive forces in society have to try to reach this objective. This was my introduction. We're going to listen to four speeches. I'm very happy that we have these four keynote speakers. And after the speeches, we will be able to discuss among ourselves. You can ask for the floor or by writing a question into the chat. You can express a question or a comment in the chat. So I'd like to present the keynote speakers. We're going to start with Ulrike Eifler. Ulrike is a member of the party, the link, the left speaker of the working group company and trade unions. She's going to talk for 10 minutes. Then we will listen to Benjamin Tennis, senior policy advisor at the European trade at Industry All, the European Federation for the metal working sector, then Katharina Steele from the climate movement Students for Future. She's going to talk to us and she also has presented a PowerPoint presentation, I believe. And last but not least, Katharina Steele from Hungary, International Secretary of the Hungarian Trade Union Confederation. And he is going to present things from an Eastern European perspective is going to talk about the automobile sector, automobile manufacturing. And I'm already going to say thanks to the interpreters without whom today's meeting would not be possible. And I'd also like to thank Juliet Pierce, who is responsible today for the technical support. So let's start. Let's begin with Ulrike Eifler. Ulrike, you have the floor. Thank you very much, Manuela. Hello, everybody. I think it's very important that we face up to the question of progressive industrial policy, especially against the backdrop of, well, how shall I call it, of the fact that the political mainstream discusses, is discussing industrial policy, only focusing on industrial modernization, on the single market on competitiveness. So what we're going to have to do today is to see how we can gear up in order, sorry, what most people talk about is how they can gear up in order to prevail in international competition. But the progressive forces in our society have to take into consideration that industrial policy is also part of a societal pro process. If we only talk about different propellations and think about which we have to fund and which not propulsion engines for individual transport. This is not really something that will lead up to the mobility transition for this. We need the right politics and therefore industrial policy can be part of an overall societal process. I believe that the automobile sector is important for us three reasons and has to be considered by us two for these three reasons. First of all, because of what Manuela in her introduction said, that the automobile industry is an important source for carbon emissions. We knew this from studies from 2009, that the 12 largest automobile companies produce more CO2 than the entire EU Volkswagen alone emits more CO2 than Australia, for example. And this sector is the only sector in which carbon emissions increased in the last years. So if we want to stop the climate collapse, we have to do something in the automobile industry, need this transition in this sector. And in the automobile sector, we have 12 million employees in the automobile sector, 12 million employees, that's an important figure. And we know from the United States, what happens when large the industrialization processes are not politically accompanied. This is something we should therefore keep in mind. And my third point is that the automobile industry is certainly a central source of power for trade unions. In this sector, we are well organized, have quite some bargaining power, have a certain institutional power, think about all the good collective bargaining results we have been able to achieve. The entire trade union movement, I believe, draws its strength mainly from this sector, even if the bargaining in the field of services in the service sector are another thing, which are carried out in a separate way. But nevertheless, I think what's been done in the automobile sector, in the industrial sector has been an example for other sectors as well. And I think if because of a loss of power of the trade unions in the automobile sector, we would probably have a trigger effect and the trade unions in all sectors would lose out. So we have to consider this eco transition, which is going to happen, which is about to happen, and which also reaching the service sector. And this is a transition, which is unique in our epoch. It's fundamental. And what is unique is also that not only one sector is taken up by this transition, but also sectors. At the same time, we have globalization and digitization. And that means that in commerce, we have automatic automatic tills at the checkout counters with automatic e-learning at the schools, automatic driving. The whole, the entire service sector is digitized. And contrary to what happened in the past, we have now to face up to a transition, which comprises the entire world of labor. This means that work processes, processes, production processes, and the position of certain activities in society are all about to change. And this means that employees don't know what is going to come tomorrow. They feel insecure. And in this entire process, the relation between capital and work is also going to change. And this opens up certain possibilities for employers to deregulate, to bring in more flexibility to live up less to labor standards. We also note that professional activities are not any longer linked to place and time. So the borders of what is a company become more and more unclear. Outsourcing has become easier and easier. And this means that work becomes ever more precarious. We have the platform economy, a symbol for precariousness. And during the pandemic, we have seen that working time changes, times change tremendously. There are no limits anymore. We have a text, we have seen a text on working time during the pandemic, the federal government in Germany changed its law in this respect. Then life working time is also under attack. We notice especially in Germany, there is talk about increasing the retirement age. So there are many, many changes in the world of work and the use, utilization of digital technologies and deregulation on the other hand are things which have been speeded up during the pandemic. And this means that not only social achievements are at risk, but also social contracts, social agreements. That became clear in May last year when the European Automobile Lobby, the large associations of the automobile industry wrote a letter to Ursula von der Leyen and told her, well, we demand that the CO2 limit values are suspended. Employers always try to shift on their production costs to others or social costs to their employees by deregulating ecological costs are shifted on to the, are passed on to the environment. And this is the background to what I've just been telling you about. If you ever look at what has been done so far as to this transition, it is not very much, mainly immobility, mainly, mainly funding of charging stations. But the question is, where does the electricity come from? Where does the lithium for the batteries come from? These are questions which are hardly ever asked. The production of batteries and recycling of the batteries should be an issue too. And therefore, I believe that we should spell out what for us elements of a progressive industrial policy would be. I'd say there are mainly four elements, four elements. I'd like to put to discussion here. First of all, the fact that sustainable mobility has to be funded, has to be promoted, i.e. that we try to construct smaller and more economic passenger cars. Then we need a medium term conversion of the automobile industry in the interest of climate friendly mobility cars have to be geared up less to individual transport than to the mobility transition. And the third step would be to understand these whole processes as a social societal process, which goes well beyond industrial modernisation processes. So we need we need a policy of short ways, which has been coming up in the last few years. And this means that we need more industry, more social care. We have to live up to social needs, because when schools are closed in small villages because they're not profitable anymore, or when hospitals are closed down because they're not profitable anymore.  And the fourth point is that we have to discuss this whole issue while being aware of the fact that this is a very important, very fundamental change that is taking place, an apocal change. We're talking about societal changes or transitions. We're talking about whole political spheres, which will disappear, crisis of democracy and many things more have to be taken into consideration. I think we have reached a historic point. And this is the knowledge we have to have when discussing this issue. Rosa Luxemburg once said, either we are progressive or we fall back to barbarity, I think she is right. Roberto Marrera of transfer in Italy wrote in an essay, the last year was marked by a fight of capital against work. Today the fight is more essential. It's a fight against life. I think this author is right, even though I think that the fight against life has always been a reality. But lately, we have seen that this fight has become ever more existential. The tipping points, the planetary tipping points, the political, social and ecological tipping points have become clearer lately. And we have come closer to these tipping points. And this underscores that this fight has been fought, while knowing that we are at a historical turning point, an ecologically well regulated society. Well, this is a target that you can only achieve in a just society. So we have to jointly fight for this target. This was all. Thank you very much. I'm looking forward to discussing with you. Ja, vielen Dank, Ulrike. Vielen Dank, dass du auch den Vielen Dank, Ulrike.  Ich bin sehr glücklich, zu willkommen in Benjamin.  Danke, Manuela. Und guten Abend, guten Abend zu all of you. Thank you for having invited Industrial Europe to participate to this important discussion. As many of you already know, Industrial Europe is the European Trade Union Federation representing workers from the industry, extractive industry, energy and manufacturing industry, including the automotive industry, which is, as you can imagine, one of our main sectors. And that's why today's discussion is of the utmost importance for us. Automotive industry is not any industrial sector. It has been said already by Ulrike and Manuela, but in terms of jobs, we have more than 2.5 millions of jobs into the manufacturing of automotive. But we have all together in the European Union 14 million of workers, which rely directly or indirectly on the automotive industry. Automotive industry is also extremely important in terms of innovation, in terms of exports, in terms of fiscal revenues. I just checked the number before this meeting, but for Germany alone, mortal tax revenues represent more than 90 billion euros a year. So for all these reasons, and of course, for what Ulrike already said, in terms of the strength of workers and trade unions within the sector, automotive is among the most important industrial sectors we have in Europe. And this sector is already struggling with a series of structural changes and structural challenges. Of course, de-garanisation is maybe the main one, I will come back to that later, but we also have the shift to digitalisation, the automation of the production processes and assembly lines, fragmentation of the supply chains. And we are also in a context where there are mergers and acquisitions, there are new companies coming in the sectors from other sectors from other countries or the parts of the world. And this, of course, changes the landscape significantly. We are also in a context where the COVID has, and the related measures have dramatically impacted the sector and the workforce. The sales and the production in Europe has dropped by a quarter, roughly in 2020, which is quite significant. Many workers have been at least temporarily unemployed and we have seen during 2020 an unprecedented wave of restructurings, both in OAMs and in the supply chain. All together we have accounted more than 150,000 job losses announced in less than one year in 2020. The sector in Europe is also struggling with a series of dependencies, and notably the shortage of semiconductors is currently dramatically impacting the production in the sector. This is a bit the context where we are a quite important industrial sector, both economically speaking and socially speaking, which is struggling with a series of structural and more punctual challenges. Now we know that the Commission would, the European Union, would like to completely transform this sector and making its carbon neutral, climate neutral in a few decades. Yesterday, the European Commission published its fit for 55% package. It's a quite impressive package, a lot of pages to read, thousands of pages and quite complex pieces of legislation. But if you look at the CO2 standards regulation proposal, it's clearly said that we will have increased emission reduction targets for 2030. We might have a phase out, what is proposed is a phase out of conventional Portrains by 2035. We have in addition a proposal to extend the emissions trading system to fuels, including fuel for road transport, meaning that the automotive sector will be squeezed between the one hand much stricter CO2 rules for the new sales, the new vehicles that will be sold in Europe, and on the other hand strengthening of carbon pricing for the fuels. So the future of the sector is clearly for the European Union low carbon and if possible, carbon neutral. This is where we have to go and the picture and the direction is clear. This is the compass we have, the automotive sector and road transport must become climate neutral in two or three decades. Now in terms of how the picture is a little bit less clear, if I may say, we have indeed a series of initiatives that we support. Let's mention Battery Alliance and the related important project of common European interest that should and that that is already boosting the investment in the battery value chains in in Europe. There is also Hydrogen Industry Alliance and an Industry Alliance for road materials. All those initiatives aim at strengthening, securing the different parts of the automotive value chain in Europe while decarbonizing it. Now there are a series of blind spots and issues that will need to be discussed. Some of them have already been mentioned by Ulrike, the sustainability of batteries, the supply of raw materials and key components. We could also mention the technology neutrality principle. What about the hybrids? What about the possibility to develop low carbon sustainable fuels? All those issues will have to be discussed in the coming year to have an industrial strategy. A European industrial strategy able to transform the European automotive industry without triggering disruptive effects. So it's really the challenge we have had of us. It's transforming without undermining the automotive industry in the coming decades. In addition to the different initiatives I just mentioned, we should also point out the fact that a lot will have to be done in terms of rolling out the necessary infrastructure. Recharging, refueling, charging stations will be needed. We have a series of initiatives that have been proposed yesterday, but we also have the recovery plans and the recovery strategy, the recovery fund, which is there to boost this deployment of alternative charging. So we have Jigsaw, we have different elements of an industrial strategy, but we cannot identify at this stage the kind of really integrated industrial plan that Ulrike referred to. And that impression of vagueness is even bigger when you consider the social side of the changes we are talking about. Many reports tend to show that the impact of the electrification of road transport, the employment impact will be huge. We have the ELAP reports published by the Fraunhofer Institute, for instance, we have a report published by the Boston Consulting Group and commissioned by the European Electromobility Platform, sorry. We have a report from Syndex commissioned by the CFDT Trade Union and the Foundation Nicolas Hulot. All those reports have different assumptions, different scopes, different methodologies, but they all show that the challenge ahead of us in terms of transforming the automotive industry is huge. The first challenge is of course quantitative. The number of jobs that are at risk of simply vanishing, disappearing in Europe is important. Electrification might lead to destroy one third of the jobs existing in the manufacturing side of the automotive industry. It might be compensated by the creation of new jobs in the battery industry as well as in the building of infrastructure. But there is another kind of challenge, a more qualitative challenge. The kind of skills profist of those jobs are completely different. We have many jobs among those that will be at risk, that are low or middle qualification jobs, jobs which belong to the metal industry. Whereas in the new jobs that will be created, you have a lot of designers, a lot of engineers and many of those jobs belong to the chemical and IT industries. So the transferability of jobs of skills, sorry, shouldn't be taken for granted. And the number of workers that will have to be retrained, upskilled or re-skilled in the coming years is huge. The report from the Boston Consulting Group, I just referred to, mentioned that up to 2030, 2.4 million of workers will have to be retrained. It gives you an idea of the magnitude of the change we are talking about. It brings me to my next point, which is the fact that given the size of the challenge, given the pace of the change, we cannot simply bet on the weak EU social instruments that we have. We cannot bet neither on the goodwill of multinational companies. We know that there are currently some interesting agreements that have been negotiated by trade unions in some OEMs, some Volkswagen sites in Renault, for the North of France, Volvo as well. But in those OEMs and in some countries, we have well established industrial relations, which do not necessarily exist in all member states and which do not necessarily exist in all part of the value chains, especially in small and medium-sized enterprises. And this is a crucial point I want to stress before concluding my remarks. If you look at the map of the automotive industry in Europe, you will see that the countries' regions that are relying the most on the automotive industry and more precisely on the part of the value chain, which manufacture equipment for traditional Portrains, are also regions where industrial relations are weak or under attack and regions which rely on headquarters that are located in other countries. I am sure that Caroli will develop that point. So, to conclude, to have more certainty for workers and we believe that certainty is not only important for investors. Certainty, predictability also matter for workers. And if we want to have that certainty for workers and communities, which depend on the automotive industry, we need a legally binding framework to anticipate change in Europe that will allow trade unions at all level national, regional, sectoral and at company level to negotiate agreements with the employer, with public authorities to manage the change in a socially fair way. And this is not the case for the moment. We shouldn't take for granted that we have the conditions in Europe to manage the transition in the automotive sector in a socially fair way. So, that's it for my initial intervention. But I will be happy to answer the question you have and to participate in the discussion. Thank you. Yeah, thank you very much, Benjamin. Thank you very much for describing all the challenges in along the value chain and also for giving us the view of the workers and of introducing us to the challenges that they need to face. Like, for example, a complete overhaul of their qualifications for new jobs if and when those new jobs come along. Now, I'm very happy to give the floor to the climate change organizations, Katarina of Students for Futures with us. And obviously, we will need to take stock of the changes in this area also. And Katarina will be reporting on the discussion that they hold. Dass ich da sein kann. Ich hoffe, man kann mich gut hören. Thank you very much. Thank you very much for inviting me. My name is Katarina. I'm from Leipzig. I'm a climate activist and trade unionist at Verdi. The Service Union in Germany. I'd like to report a little bit on the question why the topic mobility transition is something which is important for us, why Fridays for Future and things like that are important to us. And then I'd like to talk about what we did with Verdi on the issue of mobility transition. We, as Fridays for Future, I think this is something you know. It doesn't depend on the country because Fridays for Future exist in every country now. We do not only look at fossil energies or coal or renewable energies, but we also discuss issues like agriculture or mobility transition. Rika has already talked about it, that instead what the main problem is for us, Fridays for Future, it is clear that as third largest emitter this sector has to be tackled. Things have to change in this sector. And we are ready to cooperate with groups of which we would think first why do we have something in common, trade unions and Fridays for Future. But in the end, we do have the same objective. The climate crisis, something I think I don't have to elaborate on very much, is something which is well known when working at Volkswagen. I think this is a very important and ever present topic in Eastern Germany. We have floods at the moment, nine people died yesterday. This means it's not possible any longer to say, well, here in central Europe, the climate crisis is not a problem that is important for us. We have floods, we have water scarcity, weather problems, severe weather events. So much to the climate on the climate. And then the other point I'd like to discuss is the question. What about public transport? Because basically you might say, well, great. If everybody takes the bus or a train and nobody takes the car anymore, then we emit much less. But the question is, what can we all do? What can women do? What can we do in the field of transport, public transport? But also employees in this respect are important. There was a poll by Verdi, which yielded that between 98 and 2017, 80% of employees less have been employed, but 24% more people use public transport. And this means that in city life, what is probably the biggest problem is that there is noise and that there are cars everywhere. This is something which does not exist like that in little villages. But this also leads to stress.  And we Verdi and the German Threat Union Federation say that the stress becomes harder and harder. 40% of all the bus drivers in Germany or those who work in public transport are over 50. So many of them will go into retirement soon. And nobody is there to take over from them. Nobody wants to take over these jobs because the stress is extreme. So we have the climate crisis, one big problem, which concerns us all. And as riders for a future, we also looked at public transport, cooperated with Verdi and realized that we have a big problem here. We have to tackle jointly. So what we did in 2019 was that we got together with Verdi and we said without public transport, we are not going to reach our climate objectives or targets. We need a very good public transport, cost free for everybody because it's also a social question. And we started to discuss with Verdi in this respect, which was very exciting, especially because very different groups were discussing here with one another. And I'd like to tell you the following thing at this point. It's interesting to go into the companies with Threat Unions and ask them, have you heard about riders for futures?  And it was very interesting, what the employees did. I said, well, you want a cost free public transport? That's the wrong approach. We first have to talk about work conditions, labor conditions. And somebody said, well, you should think about the traffic lights and how they are coordinated with one another, because that's what causes the stress for us, the bus drivers. We are also people who are connected, but then we had the Corona crisis and in our campaign and over 30 cities in Germany we could build networks between Threat Unions and Fridays for Future, so that we could meet that people could get acquainted with one another. I have just said how many, which percentage is over 50 in the sector. Most climate activists are female and in their early 20s, which means that these two groups are very different. One group is very women dominated, the other very men dominated. And it was interesting that we could get together and demonstrate jointly. I also brought some pictures. I tried to show them, but I have to hurry up because I have only 10 minutes speaking time. Yeah, I'll try it and I keep telling you about it. You see the bus driver kitty here on the left together with Markus and Juliane, who in Hamburg made this collage of photography and passed it to the Senate. The question of mobilized individual transport versus public transport is something we have discussed a lot because it's also a social question. If you consider that many come from villages also grew up in a village. We always had two cars in my family because otherwise it would not have been possible. We would not have been able to reach the city. Public transport was not well enough organized for us to use it. Here you see another picture of a small action. We carried out here a larger activity. The first strikes in public transport in which and then there was a collective bargaining around for bus drivers in which bus drivers fought for better labor conditions and participated in and we participated in these strikes, which was very interesting because we, riders for a future anomaly, speak about climate strikes, but strikes for trade unionists have quite a different significance. So here you can see we strike together. Very interesting, very interesting for the employees in the trade unions who got together with young people and they find it quite interesting that these people supported them here in English. Why this campaign was so important first of all, that coming together and striking together with workers was something completely new for Fridays for future. We increased awareness and knowledge also in the Fridays for future movement, but also the issue of climate justice was carried into the trade unions as an important topic. Because all the things which I discussed in the trade unions cannot be discussed without taking into consideration the climate aspects anymore.  The climate crisis is here. We have to face up to it, to this reality and it is here to stay. And what was also important, what was also quite a success was that for the first time ever in Germany we had a public transport summit, a public transport congress together with the federal government. There are car summits with the automobile industry and the industry tells them, well, what we need from you is this and that and there's taxes and for public transport there is no lobby. So what was really beautiful about this thing is that for the first time we were able to discuss this topic very intensely, that we could make clear to people that they cannot forget us, that they cannot do things without us anymore. And people listen to us, to bus drivers, but also to us, the people from Fridays for future. Here are a few more pictures. Here a colleague had been dismissed and we, Fridays for future, went to the strike to support him. And here the large strike at three o'clock in the morning were Fridays for future activists and employees were there at the depot of the public transport. It was interesting that we started at three o'clock, discussed with trade unionists. A very exciting and interesting thing for him. If I can make a short conclusion, you permit, we Fridays for future would like to call us youth for future. And as Ulrike said, we should thrive much less. We have to look at the issue of long ways, long ways to work, when you very commute with the car. And the problems are solved by just building another another motorway, another road. These are things which have to be changed. And I would say that, thanks to this campaign, I realized that if this is what we want to demand, if we want to demand that the car industry is transformed, then we need a new sector, but many, many people will be need. This is something we have to discuss jointly, but there is no way out of it. You cannot think that just by building electrical cars, we will save the climate. This is something which is not going to happen. No, we have to, we need this transition to public transport now. And we need it as fast as possible for youth for future, for Fridays for future. And I'm one of those who always say, time is up. We have to do things now, not tomorrow, not the day after tomorrow. And we shouldn't talk about 2045 or 2050. No, we need the changes now. And I think only jointly can we reach anything Fridays for future are ready to cooperate in many respects, in respect so that we do not work against one another, but work with one another in order to make life better in the future. Ganz besonders gut gefallen, wie du gerade gesagt hast. Thank you very much, Katharina. What I like particularly about your contribution is that it is important to anchor the trade unions in the climate change debate and the climate organisations also in the fight of the trade unions. And I think it is a commonality that we need to understand because we share so many interests. And I'm very happy to now give the floor to Karoli of the Hungarian Trade Union Confederation. Hungary, a country which depends largely on the decisions of the German headquarters of the automotive industry and where probably the situation is perceived slightly different from what it is perceived in Germany. Karoli, you have the floor. You have to unmute yourself, Karoli. Okay, does it work now? Still the digital age is functioning. So I try to speak in English just to have the balance between German and English 50 50. And I would like to bring in four points. First, why so much important is the automotive industry in the central-eastern European countries? Second, a little bit about the challenges. A challenge is in general, but also a little bit from the Hungarian perspective regarding the industry. Then I'd like to speak a little bit about the trade union work and issues and strives regarding the whole processes. And then come to the general question, but Ulrike already referred to the social dialogue of the industrial relation. And that was something mentioned by Benjamin as well. So first of all, why it is so much important.  For Hungary, the automotive industry means 10% of the GDP. 29% of the manufacturing and also 20% approximately of the export. 4% of the Hungarian registered labor force is employed in the automotive industry. Benjamin referred to 12 million. That is the Hungarian part. In the Czech Republic, it is 9% of the GDP, 26% of the manufacturing and 24% of the export. Slovakia, 13.9, nearly 14% of the GDP, 46.6% of industrial export and 39.5% of industrial production. Half of the industrial production is made out of the automotive industry. And in Romania, it is 14% the export, 26% of manufacturing and 24% of the export. So in Hungary, we used to have a joke, which is still true. If the German automotive industry or general, the German economy is coughing, then we in Hungary immediately catch a cold. And that is true. So that's the basic departure. Let me quote a very recent statement from one of the politicians that we are a big assembly plant of the German auto industry, well subsidized by cheap labor and weak local currency. And this is something which we could see also during the past period of the COVID, how German-Hungarian relations have an impact on the automotive industry. The German-Hungarian relations plus the Hungarian governments working against strict EU emission rules, regulations plus a high level of state subsidies provided to the automotive industry. Equals with less dismissals and a stable partnership for the German industry here in Hungary. That's a nice expectation, but very serious. Challenges. The real challenge is how to cope with the first technological changes. Over the prior to the emission scandal, which was already a couple of years back, technologies began to change, however, not every actor could adapt to the modern technologies. And those who have been not able to adapt in a proper way or less, they are mainly the suppliers, they are mainly hit. And often those big ones, by the way, those who are not able to change so fast to all the small details in requirements, requirements by the auto production companies. And this has become even more challenging due to the increasing production of the electrical and hybrid cars. Then the secondary suppliers seem to be not fast enough to adapt. And they are employing the bigger part of the employees in the sector. In Hungary, and that's not much different than in other countries, you see that in Hungary 71% of the companies registered who are micro and small companies. And over half of the workforce is employed in general terms in the micro and small enterprises. By the way, that has an impact on the trade union possibilities and work, because we are totally out of that segment. But I'll come back to that later. So, a little bit, we can see that the pandemic has come in handy for car manufacturers, because they can hide a lot of their problems behind the pandemic. During the pandemic, in Hungary have the big subsidies have been provided to the automotive industry. Just imagine huge, by Hungarian scale, huge subsidy to Audi, which then brought out, it's about 10 billion, 10 billion foreigns, which has brought out 8 billion Euro profit. The profit has been subsidized directly by the Hungarian people. It's so easy, and not the small and medium enterprises received it. But we also see an interesting aspect. There is an increasing standardization within the automotive industry, which is affected in infusions, so, like the engine production has become band-independent. Concrete example, the 1.5 DCI engine by PSA is used, the same engine is used in different countries, in different car manufacturers, in different models. So, there are interesting aspects of what we see, and also there might be important possibilities to have European-level single patterns and then regulatory processes. Not new, but still open question. What we feel is to see that the trends over the past decade, what Benjamin called as blind spots, the changes. It is not clear in which direction the automotive industry is going to change, and not only in Hungary, but in general terms. We have serious changes, and I hope Katarina can also support it. We have changes in this society, in the people's way of living, especially in the big cities, which constitute the bigger part of the population in most of the countries. There are changes in car ownership, changes in social behavior and habits, fast changing in trends on the one hand. But the output is still an open question. What type of engines there is going to be in the future? Is it the internal combustion, where we see that in Japan, Honda, Mazda, they are investing a lot to develop it and further make it less emission output. Is it the electrical engine? With all the questions, we don't speak about how and what the precious metals are produced, with child labor, with forced labor, and so on and so forth. That is out of question. What will happen with the accumulators? You have to find a way in Germany. You are the best to know how you have fought with the nuclear power station leftovers. What will happen with the leftovers after the electrical cars are not used anymore? And so on in Germany. What will come? What will happen with the electric cars? And so on in Germany. What will come? And how it will be made? What are those costs? So it is not at all so cheap. What about the hydrogen engines? In Germany and in Japan, the auto industry is dealing with that quite a lot. What about the hybrid? We see surprising conglomerates coming up, the Valero Siemens conglomerate, which has an impact on the industry and on the market as well. And what about the slav driving vehicles? What will be their role in the future? Technologically, they are ready. It's a question more of the legal and regulatory aspects, which are not yet put. So basically, these are open questions for the industry, which will have an impact also on the labor force. Because the labor force, we have to see that although our trade unions, our metal workers union is seriously trying to analyze and follow the questions and have an antecipation and look into anticipating the changes to come. But who is listening to it? And that's the social dialogue problem. The sector has gone through very, very serious changes, also in the employment policy challenges, respect for robotization. And they have tried also to adopt during the pandemic. But our workers have very big fears. And the major fear is loss of workplace. Benjamin reflected on concrete figures, how it is. Let me tell you that in one of the main suppliers in Hungary to the automotive industry, in one of the factories Bursch has introduced in the logistic area, has introduced digitalization and automation. And 80% less workforce. 80% less workforce. Of course, people are anxious and losing their jobs. Coupled with a non-existent training, retraining or vocational training system. Further training, retraining, is missing in Hungary. And the most important thing is that we have to be able to do it. And this is a major problem. Although the German companies want to do their traditional system, to be put in place in Hungary. And we have studied from the trade union side over the 15 years back and have been pushing for that. But it doesn't really work. Also a question. Training and education. And not only professional vocational training, but general education. The level, how it is reflecting for the future. Are our young people, already the young people, I don't speak about the elderly one, able to cope with the fast changes to come in their life or not? And here I'd like to just point out one point, one bring to your attention a very interesting film. I don't know how much you know about it. It was a film of Jonas Heldt, the title is Automotive. It's from last year. And this is really speaking about the young new generations challenges and questions about their life in the automotive industry. I highly recommend to look into that. And then I come to my last point and that is, how far social dialogue and industrial relations are very important. We could see over the past years that, as you mentioned already previously, that the automotive industry is a core or the basis for trade union activities and the kind of pulling force. It is, that's true, but we need international work together. Because that is sometimes not yet the most appropriately done. And that's a homework for the trade unions, but also for policymakers. The European Commission proposal for the fair and adequate minimum wage. Contains a very important part. And that is the 70% of collective agreement coverage to be established. We don't even have that in the automotive industry in full. And that would be very important for the central and eastern European countries to have the European directive. I know that Nordics and some other countries are not really so happy our trade union colleagues, but there is no fear that we would interfere to their well established systems. We want to have our well established system be built up. And the last point, the sectoral social dialogue, which functions in many of the western European countries in Germany as well. We would like to have its strengthened here in Hungary. In the sectoral social dialogue committee, the main challenges of the automotive industry, including the social aspects, is missing. Otherwise, the main point, and I really, really want to bring and totally subscribe to it, that make it a societal process. Ulrike spoke about it, Katharina spoke about it, Benjamin spoke about it. We must do it together with the whole of the society. It will never work without that. Thanks. Danke. Vielen Dank. Thank you very much, Karoli. That you came back to the important issue of international cooperation, which doesn't quite work as well as we would hope. And that you flagged up the intensive cooperation between the German and the Hungarian government when it comes to automotive industry. We have now concluded all the presentations and we can stop the recording.


In this video, I want to talk with you about reframing marketing as a benevolent activity. If you're someone who's had some issues with marketing and selling yourself, I believe that this video will help you to see it from a new light and allow you to actually enjoy marketing, and to do it in a way that feels really good, not just to your bottom line and to your business, but it feels good to your heart and to your soul. So let's get started. First of all, the way that people typically think about marketing is it's about persuading. And I want to say that instead of persuasion and conversion, let's talk about marketing as alignment and nurturing. So a great analogy for this would be hunting versus farming. The way that most marketing is taught is the hunting model, which is you are targeting an audience and then you are converting them. You're kind of getting past their defenses, right? Sales, getting past their defenses, overcoming, right?  No wonder marketing and sales often doesn't feel right to us. Sometimes it also feels like you're trying to wear someone down, you know? And so that's kind of the hunting model, the chase and the hunt. But instead, let's look at it from the farming framework, which is that marketing, when it's done well, can be about planting seeds in the right soil that is the right environment. So you don't just scatter seeds on the gravel and expect them to grow. You find the right environments, you plant the right seeds, and then you nurture them with the right ingredients, right? You nurture them with care and compassion, observing what is working, what's growing, and then doing more of that, okay? So you see how when you're looking at marketing from a farming perspective, it is so much more nurturing, and also I would say it is more long-term thinking. When a plant is just starting to grow out of the ground, you don't go, oh my gosh, it's starting to grow. Let me yank it up, because I want it to grow faster. No, you nurture it, you let it grow at the right time. Obviously you don't just plant one seed. You plant multiple seeds, and you water them, and you look at which ones are growing well, and maybe you tend specifically to those. So let this idea of marketing as farming, not hunting, think about that, and try to do your marketing going forward from this way. Let me give you some specifics on how to do marketing from a kind of farming perspective. So first of all, marketing is about aligning, okay? Marketing means instead of trying to convince somebody that they must buy your thing, marketing is about aligning your skills and your soul's expression, really, with what the right people are happy to buy. So know this, right, that there is a lot of need in the world. There is, people have a lot of pain, and people also have a lot of yearnings, a lot of dreams, and marketing is basically the activity of aligning what you're good at, and what you love to do, with what are the specific pains and dreams that your gifts can address, right? It's not that your skills and experiences can address every single pain and need in the world. Maybe later on I'll talk about that, it's marketing greed, but your skills are particularly suited for particular pains from particular people, or particular dreams from particular audiences. So marketing as aligning is the practice of observing, experimenting, and observing what aspects of your skills align well with what problems want to be solved, or what dreams people are seeking now to reach, okay? So the question, the question is to keep answering in your marketing journey. It's a journey, it's not a one-time thing where this weekend I figured out my marketing and it's going to be the same thing forever. No, you're going to keep changing, you're going to keep understanding yourself better and better over the years, and also the market will keep changing, and the market will need you to describe what you do according to what is current, what people need at this time, what they understand the language to be at this time. So the question that asks is, what is so painful, okay, what is so painful that people are willing to spend money on solving that I can uniquely help with, okay? And another question to observe could be, and turning it around, is what's so entertaining or what's so interesting that people are willing to spend money to experience more of that I can provide, all right? So aligning is the first activity of marketing. The second activity of marketing is filtering. In marketing, you're not, you know, it's a waste of time to talk to everybody because not everybody is your right customer or client. There are certain types of people who you don't have to convince. They are much more right where they are in their life, where they are with their certain problems that are much more right and ready to listen to you, okay? So marketing is about filtering out who isn't right for you in your marketing and also filtering in who is right. So you do this through what you say on your website. You do this through what you write on your social media.  So for example, I'm not trying to reach every business owner in the world. I'm particularly trying to reach a particular business owner who shares a certain set of values with me. And you could probably get pretty clear as you watch my videos and consume my content.  And guess what? I filter them out because they can be better served by other people who don't talk about maybe higher values in business or marketing. And that's fine. That's totally fine. I'm only talking with certain types of people, right? The other thing is, for example, I don't try to serve every level of business in the world. I'm not trying to reach the Fortune 500 companies to get me as a consultant. I have a particular passion and skill for helping the solopreneur, you know, the life coach, the executive coach, the therapist, you know, the counselor, the healer, the one who has a message to share and doesn't want an enormous staff to do it. They just want to be able to do a good business, a true livelihood and make a great impact with their message using free tools and also earn an income from serving clients, right? So I'm trying to serve a particular type of person. I'm filtering out those who aren't and filtering in those who are. And I invite you to do the same thing. Who isn't perfect for your solution and who is. And this is, again, something you will discover over time as you serve different types of people.  So otherwise what happened is you're wasting your valuable life and energy serving those who are not really meant for you. And on the other hand, you are not spending the valuable time and energy to serve those, reach out to those who are perfect for you, right? So marketing is about filtering. Third, marketing is about nurturing, right? As I talked about the farming analogy, once you have known what the right situations are and planted the seed, now you nurture them.  Please buy all my services, right? You need to nurture that relationship so that when the time is right, you can invite them. And what is nurturing? You give the world as much valuable free content as you are willing to give. And I hope over time, as you follow my free content, I'm hoping to inspire you to share more of your free content. And I will talk about that in other videos where it is so important to share your content for free because it grows you. It's not just good for your marketing. It grows you more than you can possibly imagine, and you're serving the world in far bigger ways than you could possibly imagine. So serve, nurture through valuable free content and also offer valuable free help that you can do sustainably, not all day long. You're answering free questions, but you design your life and design the way you spend your time so that you are offering some free help, but you're offering free content that is, guess what, it doesn't matter if a million people watch this video or one person, right? It's the same amount of time that I spent making it. So that's content is a very strategic way to help for free. Nurturing with, as you build enough trust, you can then go to the next stage of marketing, which is inviting. You invite those who have been filtered in to you and have been nurtured to then experience more, if it's right for them, to experience more than what you can give for free. Okay? And you offer it at a reasonable cost compared to all the benefit you're giving them and also hopefully compared to what they can find in the market as well. And the last thing that marketing is about, that a lot of people don't talk about, that I want to spend just a minute on, is that marketing is also about introducing your audience to the other types of services they need that you don't offer. Remember earlier I mentioned marketing greed. I want to talk a bit about that. We all can probably agree that greed is not the best thing in the world. Greed is where people accumulate a lot of things or money that they don't themselves need and therefore other people cannot have those same things, right? Gandhi said, one of my heroes, Gandhi said, live simply so that others can simply live. The earth cannot support everyone's greed. It can support everyone's need, okay? So marketing is about coming to a narrow sliver of whom and my best qualify to serve. Whom do I best love to serve and I make best good at serving and what do I best do for them? And it's a journey to find that out. And then as you get to know who they are, you get to know that they have other needs and other wants, that you are not best at serving, then you can then introduce other solutions to your ideal audience. Your ideal audience will be grateful that you're the one who introduced those solutions that they also wanted and you're also going to make more friends, the other solutions providers who may then introduce you to their audience. You don't make it up. You must reciprocate. Don't do that. You serve, you primarily serve your audience by bringing the right resources and then if it's right, if the friendship is right, then they might introduce you as well. So I hope that that is a helpful way to reframe marketing so that you can see it as a benevolent activity that you can actually enjoy and see as a service in and of itself.


meeting so if you want to add a person we're actually going to push a conference room I think it'll still work better though if we could encourage people to do it remotely thank you both all those in favor please say hi hi that passes unanimously thank you all so much yeah thank you Laura so take care thank you thanks for your support thank you great so now we go to your director's part give me an hour I'm happy to defer unless there's any questions under council updates all right councillors anything questions for purchase this is council update council update slash questions I would just like to say that since the sidewalk presentation last night I was out walking my dog tonight and I found myself evaluating all the sidewalks so thank you for putting that right yeah same here but I was walking to come after council with Zariah we reached this stretch on Willard and we were like this side was amazing it was like brand it seemed brand new I know I feel like as you can read stretch yeah serious or we're going to hire you all as our inspectors yeah you can rate the sidewalks well they're our first sidewalk inspection citywide was a observatory inspection it was a subjective inspection we now move to um so I'm allowed to respond this council member brought up a great point you know between now and the next tooth meeting um you know any engagement or questions that you guys have from us to be able to help us with what we're going to provide you um at the next meeting would be would be great one of the things I forgot to mention last night with our new inventory is that every section that was measured has to work out with it and we do have a public facing tool that we didn't have the last time that we're working on being able to be ready when we roll this out um after Q and QC processes so if you guys do get questions from people saying you know this is the worst sidewalk that I've ever seen in the city you know we can look at this tool and be able to be like is it it doesn't compare to these other examples um that the ranking system has as kind of our worst sidewalks so that's also as part of what we see behind the scenes that I forgot to mention yesterday which we were doing before but it just required me going there in person yes it's made it streamlined in the process okay so it would be very helpful to have a to have every street and sidewalk on a list that's that with its ranking I mean at the end of the day that's what people need to to know they need to know that this particular street that they care about where is it where is it ranked and and then we get to you know understanding how it is and it's ranked um that would be an incredibly valuable piece of information for people to be able to access because I think at the end of the day what you're looking at is you know you're you're ranking them and going this is higher than than that and if things if there's a tie you know or there are there's even if there's a bucket that says all these are in this particular category and we look at them sort of eat you know like equally that's it really is just that's really important information for people to know I can get on board with the bucket concept um the individual specific ranking because really challenging um because you are assigning a number to something that is it is still somewhat subjective categories and they change over time so the inspection period is five to eight years and a tree would be in the sidewalk now substantially at that time depending on the tree sure um but yeah easily and we've had an aspect about it yesterday or today even you know let's put out that category of you know what is our serious sidewalks but not say you know this one's serious because it's an 87 this one's serious because it's an 86 and you know that's not how we're going to end up ultimately programming the final work plan so I think that that's second step about the programming of the final work plan that you know most people that's what they really care about you know where is this and so you know you're doing what you have now but then having something if it's down the line that's okay but that allows people to say okay you're making a decision as to which individual street or sidewalk is getting done and which is not so you are ranking them maybe you're saying this is elevated and the rest of you are staying in the bucket so that you know there there's that's really what people are going to look at I think yes I forwarded your email to the team we're talking about it I think the key here is change we gotta balance transparency which I think we all agree is important with putting out data that is going to shift and change and people are going to feel upset and want to know information and just the level of minutiae if it's not valuable and things are fluid for example a tree we're even creating a situation that's different than the number we've had paving projects like on first that have been on the paving list for four years it's going to happen next year it's going to happen next year there's all sorts of things we can talk about why that shifted but how much time this crew is only five people day if we spend all our time answering why first and is this that and the 37 52 we're not going to get it done so it's a balance I accept that it's a balance and so I'm I'm pushing for a little you know a few more pennies on that you know on the scale on this side to bring that and I spent time with city cook this weekend because I've heard concerns from her and others about how things are getting prioritized I want to try to be an answering question and I want to respect staff's ability to focus yeah yeah I think we'll work together I'm sure we're going to be talking about this in between and also at the next meeting as a focus yes because I'm hearing it a lot too we can sit you on yeah so so really appreciate it and I just this team managing grade streets at the same time managing sidewalks at the same time managing abstract the Berlin standard park where I mean I got to keep this team yeah and you know they're amazingly talented aren't working how many meetings so they work this week so we'll work together to find a way and I I want to help you succeed and I know you want to help us so we'll figure it out yeah that's great yeah all right I think in the future I would like us to the next meeting too but what the the progress is on their foods yeah the TDM stuff sure yeah email wanted to the four of us okay and just tell us to add it I'm going to put it on to see if you need to check out it it's right now yep I have it so yeah does it you want the email or no you don't need it no I haven't in the minutes and if you're having it to do yeah we have a coordination document of everything that's coming from different meetings so we hope it's our minds okay great all right most of you adjourned while I put that so all those are okay


Hi and welcome to the session. Today we will learn about polynomials. Let us start with the degree of polynomials. If p of x is a polynomial in x then the highest power of x in the polynomial p of x is the degree of p of x. Let us take an example for this. Suppose we have a polynomial p of x equal to 3 x to the power 4 minus 2 x square plus 7 then here in this polynomial the highest power of x is 4 that means degree of p of x is 4. Now a linear polynomial is a polynomial of degree 1. An example of a linear polynomial is 2 x minus 3. A quadratic polynomial is a polynomial of degree 2. One example of a quadratic polynomial is 2 x square plus 5 x minus 3 upon 5. Also the general form of a quadratic polynomial is a x square plus b x plus c where a, b and c are real numbers with a not equal to 0. And a cubic polynomial is a polynomial of degree 3. One example for this is 2 minus x cube. Now general form of a cubic polynomial is a x cube plus b x square plus c x plus d where a, b, c and d are real numbers not equal to 0. Now let us start with 0s of a polynomial. A real number k is said to be a 0 of a polynomial p of x if p of k is equal to 0. Here for the polynomial p of x equal to 2 x minus 3, 3 upon 2 is the 0 of the polynomial p of x. Now a linear polynomial can have at most 1 0, quadratic polynomial can have at most 2 0s and cubic polynomial can have at most 3 0s. Now let us study the symmetrical meaning of the 0s of a polynomial. The 0s of a polynomial p of x are the x coordinates of the points where the graph p of x intersects the x axis. We have a graph of p of x which intersects the x axis at 2 points whose x coordinates are minus 2 and 2. So the 0s of p of x over here are minus 2 and 2. Similarly in this graph the graph of p of x does not intersects the x axis so here p of x has no 0s. Now let us see the relationship between 0s and coefficients of a polynomial. Let us see a quadratic polynomial first. The general form of a quadratic polynomial is a x square plus v x plus c. Now let us suppose that the 0s of this polynomial are alpha and beta. Then there is alpha plus beta will be equal to minus of coefficient of x upon coefficient of x square that is minus b upon a. Similarly product of 0s that is alpha beta will be equal to constant of upon coefficient of x square that is c upon a. Now let us take one example for this. Suppose we have a polynomial p of x equal to 3 x square minus 2 x plus 5. So some of the 0s that is alpha plus v term will be equal to minus coefficient of x upon coefficient of x square that is minus of minus 2 upon 3 which will be equal to 2 upon 3. And the product of the 0s that is alpha into v term will be equal to constant term upon coefficient of x square that is 5 upon 3. Let us consider a cubic polynomial now. The general term of a cubic polynomial is a x cube plus v x square plus c x plus d. Now let us suppose that the 0s of this cubic polynomial are alpha beta and gamma. So some of the 0s that is alpha plus beta plus gamma will be equal to minus coefficient of x square upon coefficient of x cube which is equal to minus b upon a. And the sum of the product of 0s taken 2 at a time that is alpha beta plus beta gamma plus gamma alpha will be equal to coefficient of x upon coefficient of x cube that is c upon a. Lastly the product of 0s that is alpha beta gamma will be equal to minus of constant term upon coefficient of x cube which will be equal to minus d upon a. Now let us take one example for this. Suppose we have a polynomial p of x equal to 2 x cube plus 5 x square minus 9 x plus 7 then alpha plus beta plus gamma will be equal to minus v upon a that is minus 5 upon 2. And alpha beta plus beta gamma plus gamma alpha will be equal to c upon a that is minus line upon 2. Similarly alpha beta gamma will be equal to minus v upon a that is minus 7 upon 2. So this is the relationship between the 0s and the coefficients of a polynomial. Now let us see what is divisional algorithm for polynomials. Divisional algorithm states that if we are given polynomials p of x and g of x where g of x not equal to 0 then there are 2 polynomials q of x and r of x such that p of x is equal to g of x into q of x plus r of x where is equal to 0 or degree of r of x is less than degree of g of x. Now suppose we have a polynomial p of x equal to x cube minus 7 x square plus 12 x minus 6 and g of x equal to x minus 1 then dividing p of x by g of x we can get the values of q of x and r of x such that p of x that is x cube minus 7 x square plus 12 x minus 6 will be equal to g of x that is x minus 1 into q of x that is x square minus 6 x plus 6 plus r of x that is 0. So this is our divisional algorithm and with this we finish this session hope you must have understood all the concepts related with polynomials goodbye take care and have a nice day.


Hey tribe, so I'm going to give you a heads up before I get into the subject of the video. So I will be, in respect to the challenge that I will be describing to you in a moment, I will be doing this video in one take. That's an unusual thing for me to do because on YouTube you always edit stuff, you always try to make yourself look good, but no matter what happens, I will do my utmost best to make this into a single take. Now the reason I will be doing this is because of the 24 day 2 minute rule challenge, which is a tough name to say, but maybe we'll figure out a better one, but right now we're sticking to this one. And it was inspired by a whole kind of chain of events, but let me just introduce to you what that challenge exactly is, and then I will give you a bit of a breakdown of how it happened and kind of what's the purpose behind it. So the 24 day challenge, 2 minute rule challenge, it's a commitment for 24 days to first of all every day to do something that you want to do more of to do at least 2 minutes for again every day for 24 days. Now the cool thing about it is that if you feel inspired, you can do it for more than 2 minutes, whatever that is, it can be jogging, it can be reading, it can be shooting your bow, it can be anything, learning Spanish, but so for those 24 days you do the 2 minute rule thing every day, but the thing is the kind of cool twist behind it is that you also record yourself kind of reflecting about your experience afterwards. So let's say you do 2 minute rule jogging, so you jog for per say 5 minutes because you felt inspired after those 2 minutes and then you take your phone and you record yourself, but here's the cool twist, you do it in a single take. Now the reason for it is first of all there are already some people who did it, I'm thinking about you April, and it was just so awesome to see that happening, that kind of raw authenticity and raw processing of emotions and feeling and sometimes you have updates, sometimes you have down days, but another beautiful thing behind it that inspired me greatly is that these days in our society we are so focused on presenting ourselves in the past possible way, especially on social media. We always try to look good, sound good, sound smart and always, most of the times just show the positive aspects of our lives, but that kind of creates the illusion that everyone is having a great time while reality is everyone has ups and downs, but when we keep presenting our bright side, only our smart beautiful side to everyone else, again that distorts our reality and makes each one of us feel bad because we feel like we suck and everyone else is doing great, so I need to let the cars pass because they make noise and you will not enjoy noise, so maybe I'll just fast forward the car skips.  Anyway, let's continue. So coming back to the 24 day two minute rule challenge, it has those three or kind of you can say four aspects. So first of all, it's a commitment for yourself for 24 days to do something every day.  I think I need to start choosing routes which have less cars if I'm going to do one taste. That's what you get for living in the city center, where finally we can continue. So first of all, it's a commitment for your own self that I think we can finally continue. So first of all, it's a commitment for your own self because if you are going to do something for 24 days in a row, that's going to strengthen your character. That will help you develop a new habit, learn something new, kind of trust more confidence in your own ability to follow through. So that's great. But also the twist behind the 24 days two minute rule challenge is that if you fail, if you skip a day, or if you have had a really hard time, you don't have to pretend everything is cool. Because since you're going to record yourself every day, every time for those after those two minute rule practices, you will have to be honest. Let's see if you skip today, that's what you're going to talk about. You will put yourself out there on the phone and not as a punishment, but as an acceptance. Because trust me, you're not going to be the only one who's going to skip that day. And you're not going to be the only one who's going to process those emotions. The whole idea behind this is to share that authenticity, to remind ourselves that we all have bad days, we all have feelings, we all have updates and to inspire each other. So this is not only for ourselves. This is also for the benefit of the greater whole. This is also for everyone else to kind of embrace our humanness, our faulty sides and our wonderful sides, because they both coexist at the same time. There's no need to pretend. The only aspect is don't film yourself naked or doing something super weird. Be weird, but don't go naked or at least don't show yourself naked. That's the only thing. But aside from that, be yourself if you should get what you're going to say, forget about it and just talk about it. If you start crying, cry. And if you are without your makeup, well, we will survive. So that's kind of the whole gig. And the very last point to mention in this video is the principles behind the two-minute rule. If you're not yet familiar with it, just quickly guide you through what that is. So the two-minute rule is the idea that it's easy to commit to. It's easy to do. You don't have to force yourself to do it because it's only two minutes. Obviously, as Kate Riggles likes to say, it's easy not to do as well. But if you think about doing something for an hour, you're probably going to think to yourself, oh, shoot, well, today I don't have the time. I don't have the energy. I'll skip it. But when you think it's just two minutes, even before bed, if you forgot about it, you can jump out of bed, do those two minutes, and then go back to bed. And if you are feeling like doing it for only two minutes, that's more than enough. That's where you stop. But if you change direction. But if you are stopping after those two minutes, that's great. And if you are, my gosh, I need to learn to do it to one day. But if you're inspired, you continue to go on. And sometimes we already have some stories in our group which you are invited to join. That's where we share the experience. It's called the Two Minute Rule Tribe, which is a search for it on Facebook, easy to find. So there we have people who, there's one person who sat down to study for two minutes and ended up studying for five hours. There is, there's some great people who did jogging and went out to do two minutes and ended up with 20 minutes. So there's, sometimes you will go much further. Sometimes you won't. And that's all fine. That's all part of the process. And again, even if you skip a day, that's part of the process too. I mean, don't do it just to do it. It's still about kind of being accountable against yourself and others. But if you skip a day, don't panic, accept it, embrace it, process it together with everyone else. So personally, I'm really inspired about this and on one level because it's a good challenge for myself too. As I mentioned, I'm a professional YouTuber. That's where I make my money. And part of the job oftentimes ends up being trying to look good, you know.  But for me to do this challenge as well and to show, I do try to show both of my sides. I do try to show success and failure on YouTube. But still, there's some filtering. There's still some kind of process to take out some bits and pieces and calculations, what to say, what not to say. To do it in one takes, that's a liberating. I love that idea. That's such a great chance to kind of get to know yourself and go out of your comfort zone and accept yourself as you are and not be afraid to share it. And I know this may not be everyone's cup of tea and maybe some of you will think, oh man, this is too much. But that's the whole gig. It's about challenging yourself. It's about going out of your comfort zone, becoming greater, better, bigger. Because trust me, I am 99% sure that it will make you a better person if you do this. Not only because you will commit for 24 days and that will make you stronger. Not only because you will learn something new but also because you will inspire others. You will get to know yourself more and you will embrace yourself more as you are. And in particular, what we spoke about in the recording conversation with some of the participants of the two minute rule tribe, we also discussed the importance of timing. Because these days, it's a challenging time. And the quarantine and the lockdown and it's a challenging period for a lot of people. And to have a tribe, other people who are with you through this process, to process it together with them, to see how other people are processing it. And also to admit that it's not easy for all of us. And to know that we are not alone in our kind of dark days and I went to a place where I kind of walked further and I need to turn back. So yeah, to remind ourselves that we're all, we're all dealing with this in our own ways but we're not alone. And to also commit to process where you are still moving forward. While you don't have to. Nobody is forcing you to do this two minute rule challenge. Nobody is forcing you to work on yourself. But I think when the world is in a place where routines are chaotic and the world is chaotic, it's great to have some sense of stability, some sense of routine, commitment to still, you know, to still not slack on yourself. And I think this is a great opportunity to do this. So just to finish up, I don't want to make this video too long. It's already, you know, kind of a unique video because I'm doing this in one take. But I won't tell you the whole story of how this happened. If you're going to join the group, the tribe, you will see how it works. And also I will make a polished, dedicated video breaking down exactly how this works. I'm going to do it probably in a couple of days. So you would be able to, if you want to include your friends, you could share this. So it's going to be like, you know, one of those cool videos where it's like two minute length with nice quality audio and nice quality, you know, pictures and everything.  I'm going to make that one later. But I wanted to respect the idea behind this challenge, behind this project. And to make an authentic one, to make it in one take. And yeah, actually it's been a great experience. I enjoyed it and I hope you enjoyed listening to this ramble, purposeful, but ramble as well. So a very quick breakdown before I finish up to clarify all the main points of what the 24-day two minute rule challenge is.  And you commit to doing that for two minutes, at least every day, for 24 days. And then you join the group, the two minute rule tribe. Oh, I'm just doing something here. Well, I'm about to finish. So you join the group and after every day, you'll see others. You'll see examples of how other people do it. And then you post every day what you did and your reflection of saying how you felt about it. And if you skipped it, how you feel about that. And if you owned it, how you feel about that. And you do it in one take without editing, without stopping. And this is going to be awesome. So I'll make a more polished video later in the future. But I appreciate you spending the time here together with me. And I hope to see you in the two minute rule tribe making the world a little bit better one step at a time. So thank you for tuning in and keep questioning. And I'll see you soon.
