Jerry of the circus aren't these wagons could be at my land to be forced to stay in the dark Yeah, I know I sure hated it when I had the measles, but I guess the doctors know what they're doing No, what they're doing now. I've got the finest eyesight in the world. Never miss a thing Do have a nincompoop doctor send me to bed and then to keep me there I was trying to get mr. Annal to send you to the hospital What let the show go on without me or can't be done. I told mr. Annal it Tom and I could take care of you You see we've both had the measles. So it's safe for us. Oh, you did. Well, now I call that real friendly We're only too glad to Tom and I are buddies and we'd be proud to take care of you I hope Mr. Randall put that doctor in his place for suggesting the hospital.  Randall said he'd be by here later And better if he thinks he can put Colonel Charles Windham Alger in a hospital He's got another thought coming. It's lucky. Mr. Randall's had the measles to or he wouldn't be able to come and see you They say it's lots worse for grown-ups than for children. What is Gary the measles? No, I don't believe him son It's just that grown-ups fuss more than children. Yes, that's what it is kids don't complain Yes, you're a good sport Colonel Might as well be some always say when you're flat on your back you might just as well be cheerful Yeah, nothing else you can't be say Colonel bump says you know more about the old circus days and anybody else in the business Well now my son shouldn't be surprised if I do yes, sir My circus days carry me back to the time when circuses went so popular as they are nowadays Not by a long shot Jerry not by a long How do you mean Colonel didn't folks always like circuses? Well now Jerry I guess the young folks always did but the grown-ups. That's another story. Yes another story I had to run away after the first time I saw a circus the folks thought that I just gone to the dogs for sure No, I don't believe it. Yes. Yes. Yes. Oh, yes You see way before my time circuses weren't run by men like mr. Randolph No, sir and the old days all the scallowags in the world were supposed to be connected with the traveling shows Were they well now son some were some weren't the first circus I joined up with run by an old rough-in We called him old Tom. Yes. He didn't care much how we cheated the public. No, sir The more we cheated the better was his motto But if he cheated the towns folks, I shouldn't think he'd have trouble the next year son You hit the nail right on the head I tell you old Tom never dared visit the same town two years in succession. Well, what did he do then? Well, he kept stopping at different towns across the country and about the third year He'd figure they'd forgotten about the last time and he'd bring in another show. Did it work? Sometimes it did and sometimes it didn't I Remember one town though in the south that didn't forget. Yeah, they were sure laying for old Tom and his show When the circus tent went up all the rubes in town came down Pretty soon the roust about saw there was a fight brewing for sure and up went the cry Hey, rude.  Well, it didn't always fight Yes, it was quite an experience for me as a boy son quite an experience Then I heard about the sterling brothers outfit You know Jerry those sterling brothers did more for circuses in this country and any other people in the business Why they insisted on running a fair show they never cheated the public They advertised the fact that it was safe for women and children to come to the shows Yes, and if old John sterling or any of his brothers ever caught his ticket sellers short changing the public They were fired on the spot You mean to say they didn't used to give the right change not if they could help it No wonder circuses used to have a bad name. Yes. Yes Respectable folks tried to keep their children away from the excitement and dangers of the old circus tents Did you ever work for mr. Sterling? Did I did I well, I should say I did for most 20 years You did yes, siri happened like this Old Tom had been keeping our salaries back for a long time It was toward the end of the season when our show passed close to the sterling brothers show And I had already heard how they ran things So I did stole Tom for good and for all I decided to throw in my lot with these brothers Providing they would take me of course. He left without your salary. Yes. I sure did I figured the old geezer wouldn't pay me anyhow. What sure thing. I tell you son He not only rocked the public but he took every opportunity he could for holding back on his own people Well at the end of the season it was nothing for him to fire half the outfit then refused to pay I'm sure glad I worked for mr. Randall. He pays every week all the circuses do nowadays Jerry. Oh That must be Tom. Hi Tom. Hi Tom. Yeah, let him in Jerry. Let him in Hi Tom. I thought it was you. Oh, I thought it was about time the Colonel had something to eat. It is now Well Tom my boy. I was beginning to think the same thing Where should I put the tray Colonel Alger. The tray well now some seems like my lap would be the most convenient place Here I'll put a pillow back of you. There it is that better. Couldn't be better. Couldn't be better. Thank you. Thank you. That certainly smells tempting that time. I hope it's OK Colonel. Got a good appetite. Never been better my boy. Guess nothing but locked York to keep me from enjoying a meal. Now if you boys excuse me I guess I'll pitch right in. You're going in. Say Tom you sure missed it. What. Well the Colonel's been telling me all about the old days in the circus. They sure used to run things different than they do now. Yes. They sure did. Yes they did.  Yes he was the greatest bunker artist in the world. What's bunker artist. A man who's a genius at selling folks a joke on them could play more jokes on the public than any man who's ever lived and what's more Tom he could make them love it really. Yes sir I'll tell you boys it took a smart man to beat Barnum get anyone ever put anything over on him now and then but not often tell us one time and tell you sure that I'm not boring you boys I should say not oh gosh no well the best story I know was about the man who sold Barnum a cherry colored cat cherry color I never heard of a cherry colored cat neither Mr. Barnum so he bought it to the tune of about one hundred and fifty dollars. That's an awful lot of money for a cat. Yes sir I guess that's what Mr. Barnum thought especially after he saw the cat why wasn't it cherry colored. It sure was rusty black but but I thought you just said the cat was red. Oh no I just said the cat was cherry colored and so did the man who sold Barnum the cat. After all there are black cherries. I bet Mr. Barnum was you're mad. I reckon he was a bit surprised but I tell you it was hard to get the best of that man as it certainly was. You know what Barnum did then know what he added it to the side show as the only cherry colored cat in captivity. You mean folks paid to see that black cat. You bet they did and laughed themselves sick when they found they'd fallen for a gag. That's what dad used to say that Barnum put a lot over on the public but they loved it and were always willing to pay for it and then laugh at the joke on themselves. Do you boys know where the phrase white elephant comes from. Well it means having something you don't want doesn't it. It sure does and it comes from the time Barnum got a real white elephant and then didn't know what to do with it after he got it. Someone's coming. What's the story Colonel. Let him in. Mr. Randall. I was the patient. Not so patient Mr. Randall I'm sorry to hear that Colonel say Mr. Randall the Colonel was going to tell us about Barnum's white elephant and I guess I don't have to wait and you boys know it's almost time for the show to go on. We haven't been here that long.  It's a dark in here. I know how the Colonel is once he gets started nothing will stop him. I'm sorry. It's all right boys run along. Oh and Jerry. Yes Mr. Randall is an airmail registered letter in my office waiting for you. There is. I wonder what it can be from. I don't know Jerry I didn't notice postmark. Say I wonder if it's about that safety deposit box of dads he seems like I'll never find out what's in it or it might be from Spike about getting out of jail say we better go. Thanks Mr. Randall I'll get the letter right away. Thank you for the stories and say Colonel remember about that white elephant story we'll be back later OK boys. Two mighty nice boys certainly are not Colonel we've got things to talk over first of all I've sent word on about the Russov trope you're going to let those cossacks ride at the Fordham race. That's a good idea of yours and I think we'll give it a try. Well now Randall I'm glad to hear you say that mighty fine working for a man with your imagination and good judgment. Yes indeed. Well I hope you'll continue to feel that way Colonel because my best judgment says right now that the right place for you right now is the hospital. I think it'd be better for you to get better care there. The circus go on without me. No sir you can't do that. Mr. Randall why in a few days I'll be as fit as a fiddle yes and raring to go. I know that Colonel but measles are contagious and the best thing to do on your life right on your life. I won't stare out of this wagon. I guess I can be quarantined just as snugly here is in a big house. I know Colonel I am and here I stay you can put me right on the flat cars not be just as comfy as well after all if you had the measles you wouldn't leave the show OK Colonel you win I didn't have much hope of getting rid of you anyway but I promised the doctor I'd try but you didn't make it.


Hey guys, this is Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. We have some more price predictions for you guys today. Take a look at some of the new cards that we have gotten in the past couple of days and kind of talking through what could be their price within the first day of the web app, EA Access, rising into the first week or month or so of FIFA Ultimate Team. This is very useful if you're somebody who is trying to build a team and you're trying to get kind of a guesstimation, kind of a ballpark range of what some of these players might be priced early on in the early game just to kind of give you a ballpark. This might not be exact, of course. We don't know what EA is gonna bring out for tradeable pack supply. If they're gonna do something different this year, if they're gonna mess with the pack weight for some of these players, we just don't know all of that stuff. But I am gonna give kind of a good guesstimation based off of what I think prices would be like based on what is meh, based off of what prices were last year and just knowing the foot community and how they value cards in the first early portion of this game, FIFA 21 Ultimate Team, which is, we are 15 days away by the way. We are 15 days away from the supposed release of the web app. So we are two weeks away from being able to most likely get access to our foot clubs and get the show on the road. That is very, very exciting. So today we're gonna be looking at some lower rated cards. With last video with this episode number one, we looked at a lot of guys that were Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappe, Neymar, those types of players. We're gonna be looking at more lower tier, overpowered, OP, popular, Alfonso Davies, Rashford, as you saw in the thumbnail, Ben Yetter, of course, Lucas, I wanna talk about his card. He's kind of an interesting situation this year. And then some of the new cards that we just got released yesterday, some of those prices are gonna be very interesting because we had a lot of interesting position changes, maybe some stat boosts or downgrades and that affects price on the market. So let's first talk about Marcus Rashford, right? The upgrade to the 85 rated card from last year, but also the position change to left mid. And boys, let me tell you, if you go down through the FIFA 21 players list on foot bin, there are so many left mids in the prem. And also in the game, there are so many left mids are in this game this year. Right mids and right wings are gonna be a position that I focus on heavily in the early stages because there are just not a lot of options out there. And when there's rarity, that means bigger price jumps. So that's just a side note.  I kind of looked at Leroy Sane's card last year as a pretty similar comparison because Leroy Sane and this Marcus Rashford have very similar statistics. Of course, Sane was a bit faster, but he had less physical. He also doesn't have the five star skills or the four star weak foot that Rashford does have. So I think Rashford is honestly a better card than the Sane for FIFA purposes. Last year this Sane, day one was 94K. Of course, you know what happened after that, the inflation of the market. And this is a very meta popular card. He rose all the way up to in the first month's timeframe, 240,000 coins on the PlayStation and up to about 200K on the Xbox. So a guy like this Marcus Rashford at his peak, I would definitely not be surprised if he's upwards of 250 to 300,000 coins depending on the pack weight, maybe even 350K at his very most, just depending on what kind of hype is out there if this card is really meta in game and if he just kind of rides the hype wave, right? But I might see a card like this starting out in the early days of like 150,000 coins and then from there quickly rising up to 200K to 250,000 coins in that range. I know it seems crazy expensive that a card like that Rashford would be that much but he's Manchester United, he's a left mid, he's English, he's got the five star skills and that four star weak foot, which is very, very appealing to players and fee for these days. So I think he's gonna be around 150 first day and then rising up to about 300, 350,000 coins as a max as we get into that first month and as we see prices rise. I know it seems crazy, but trust me, it's not. All right, second player, Ferland Mendy, the plus three upgrade on the most unpackable 80 rated card we have ever seen in FIFA Ultimate Team last year. This dude was 80 rated, we kept thinking he's gonna get supply, he's gonna drop. He was extinct at 10,000 coins. He went basically extinct at 40K. They upped his price range to like 60 or 70K I think. The dude was at like 50,000 coins for the next month or two, right? This guy was 10,000 extinct all the way up to 50K. It was just the beginning of the French La Liga meta back lines. This guy had all the links to Langley, Verran, Omtiti, all those starter left backs that everybody was using and building up towards in foot. This year, I think this card's gonna be even more expensive, it makes sense, right? With the stat boost, the still. Everybody's used to playing with the French defensive lines with all the special cards that we had last year, French center backs. Verran, again, Langley, the summer heat cards, the Ramos, those types of players. Everybody's used to using these Real Madrid players. Now we have a Val Verde card that's 83 rated that a lot of people might want to link to this and OdaGuard, of course, Real Madrid, that people are gonna wanna link to this Mendy card as well. I would not be surprised that this Mendy starts off this year, kind of around like the 30,000 coin range, 25,000, 30,000 coins, maybe even 40K. I would not be surprised if this card is 100,000 coins inside that first month of FIFA Ultimate Team because the pros are gonna be looking at this card. And even casuals are gonna be looking at this because they know who this guy is, right? With the four star skills, five star skills. No, he's got four star skills and a five star weak foot, right? Yeah, four star skills and a five star weak foot. I really don't see a ton of competition for this guy because he gets the links to the OP players at center back, and that's massive for the early game. So I do think that this Mendy card is gonna be a top three, top two, top three left back in the game, and his price is going to show it early on in foot. 100,000 coins in my mind in the first month, I think he hits six digits, which seems crazy for a left back that's 83 rated, but he's got the hype, he's got the links, he's got the entire package to get there. Let's move on to another French overpowered beast, Ben Yetter this year being an 84 rated card. This is his card last year, of course. Ben Yetter was a guy that we always knew about. I think we kinda knew about him in like FIFA 18, FIFA 19, and then FIFA 19 at the end, he really started to get popular with his team of the season card, and then of course this year with FIFA 20, he really came onto the scene, and it was kinda one of the biggest, I guess, rats or memes of FIFA 20. The guy started out at 17,000 coins, day one instantly went to 40, and then peaked at 64,000 coins within that first month timeframe of FIFA 20. I would expect this guy to start off around 30 to 40,000 coins, maybe even 50K this year. He did get a plus one boost to an 84 rated card this year, but his stats are basically the same on his FIFA 21 card. So I think he's gonna start off at around 30, 40, maybe even 50,000 coins first day. I think this card is gonna be one of those others that go right around 100,000 coins or over, maybe even 150K for the 84 rated Ben Yetter card.  I actually think this price is gonna double, and then some because it just overpowered. People know this card, and of course, last year his price really died off because I know he did have the ones to watch last year, but people were willing to pay this much for a gold card, 64,000 coins, and he didn't have as much hype as he had all of this last year in FIFA 20. I think this card's gonna be 100,000 coins for sure. Even as an 84 rated, he just has to be, right? Because this is the guy that a lot of people are gonna want in their squads. As long as the meta is staying the same, as far as I'm concerned it is, or it's close to it, people are used to playing with Ben Yetter and Bafe and Neymar, why would they change, right? Why would they go away from the rat, all right?  Let's move on to a right mid in the Prem. His 83 rated card this year in FIFA 21 is a right mid. This is Lucas, and again, four star, four star. I mentioned earlier that it is a very hard, right mids in the Premier League, and right mids in FIFA 21 are going to be a hard commodity to come by. Also, I just noticed my flip-ins in light mode. Usually it's in dark mode. Can we flip that? Thank you, EA Sports. All right, there we go. That looks way better. I don't know why it was in light mode, man. Everything was just blinding me. Anyways, last year Lucas Morris, center forward card started off day one around, what is this, 20K? And then he instantly boomed to 50,000 coins and eventually peaked at 68,000 coins within that first month, first or second week in league timeframe.  It's the same situation as Hyunmin's son from last year, which we talked about in episode number one. Son was a center forward, just like Lucas last year in FIFA 20, but now with his position change to left mid and with the Lucas position change to right mid, that's gonna devalue the cards just a little bit because they're not as linkable at striker, at cam, at center mid with all those position changes in there. They're only gonna be available at right wing, right forward and right mid with their cards that they have for FIFA 21. So Lucas this year for FIFA 21 is probably gonna start off around the same price range as like 20,000 coins, even as an 83 still, then he's probably gonna boost up to maybe around 50K at his absolute highest. I still think he's gonna get decently high in price because there's just kind of a lack of right mids in the prem and in the game in general. So I do think this card will hit 50,000 coins at some point this year. And I'm kind of basing it off of what Sterling was last year. Sterling was 160K first week, Riyad Mahrez was around 25,000 coins. So maybe even that Lucas card could drop down a little bit, start off at 20K and only go up to 40,000 coins. But I think people know Lucas is like a perfect beginning of the game, FIFA-esque card. He's got the skills, he's got the weak foot, he's got that pace down the wing. So I do think he's gonna maintain a pretty high price. Kind of his only competition to be completely honest with you is one of these new wingers that was actually released today. Again, Alan St. Maximon, a left wing, another prem left mid. He was a right wing last year. We'll talk about some of these guys in a second. Whitleford Zaha, left mid, left wing in the prem. Daniel James and Adama right now are the quote unquote cheap beasts that we have for the right sides this year. Adama purely with his pace, 96 pace, 86 dribbling. That's gonna be an expensive card off the rip in FIFA 20. I would not be surprised if this starts off at 20K and rises to 40, 50,000 coins himself in that first maybe weekend. Now you might think that's kind of going way over the top, but with the lack of right wings in the prem and that card looks better than is Daniel James in my opinion. So I think people would definitely end up choosing the right wing speedster Adama over Daniel James. So that's just kind of my opinion. But just watch out for some of these guys like Lucas, man. Maybe even Mara's this year. Salah, other right mids in the prem. Keep a close look on those cards because those are gonna be very, very investable. We're gonna be watching that kind of section, that kind of player pool when the full database comes out which by the way, full database could be today. That is a very, very real thing. We could be seeing the full FIFA 21 player database released today on I guess what EA's website. So we'll kind of look out for that. There's one more card that I wanted to look at and I gotta find him for you guys because his rating was released today and everybody is talking about this guy right here.  Again, 96 pace is the big draw to this card and this has the writing on the wall just like last year. Very similar to Furlan Mendy and his 80 rated card. Now is this card automatically gonna be the same price as what Furlan Mendy was last year? Absolutely not. There's no way in my opinion that A, the pack weight is gonna be the same as it was last year for Furlan Mendy or B, this guy just doesn't have the amount of hype worldwide that a Furlan Mendy would. Yes, he plays for Bayern Munich. Yes, Bayern and Bundesliga links are looking fantastic for starter teams but this is not a starter team left-back. This is not a guy that's gonna be 10, 20,000 coins. This is a guy that's gonna be 30, 40, 50, 60, 75,000 coins maybe at his peak because again, you do have a lot of good links to those Bayern Munich players and I know that seems kind of expensive but with the top three left-backs in this game, in my opinion, I think we have top four of them. I could really name off the top of my head would be Robertson, left-back Liverpool, right? That's like a top tier left-back. I'm thinking number two is probably Alex Tellez. I don't even think anybody's including Alexandro in this because his card looks do-do. Then we're going with Furlan Mendy. He's probably actually number two, Tellez number three and then his Davies card is number four. So for me, I think this card's gonna be somewhere around the 50,000 coin price range. It's not gonna be the same situation as Furlan Mendy but I think just with his hype dude, I honestly think this is gonna be somewhere between 30 and 50,000 coins in that range because this guy is just gonna be lightning, lightning fast and he's got the appeal of like a future star type player in FIFA. So that's something that I would definitely keep a close, close watch on. Now let's take a look at some of these cards that we got today. We got the best young players, we got the, what was this, the five star skillers and we also got the biggest upgrades or something like that, the most improved. So I'll take a quick scroll through these and just kind of maybe mention some prices for you guys on these. Biggest upgrades in here that are pertinent to FIFA. Highland of course with a plus 11. We already talked about his price in the last video. Greenwood, shown as a non-rare here but shown as a rare in some of the promo pictures. You know, this is gonna be a card people will start off with week one. If he still has the five star weak foot, that's gonna be a decently usable card even as a right mid. Saka as well with some pace down the left side. Then of course there's Davies with a plus nine overall increase. Big time increase there. This is a pretty solid left-back card, this Kamara for another, like this would be more of a starter left-back. This guy's probably gonna be around like 10,000 coins during the web app stages during the EA access timeframe as well but he would drop quickly after that. But that's a solid looking start back, starting squad right back with desk as well getting in there as a decent card with a lot of big boost on this set of ratings. Now these couple, these set right here, the best young players and the five star skillers really gave us some new cards today that I do want to point out to you dudes. Odegaard, 93 rated, confirmed of course. The Davies was in here. The Pulisic confirmed as a non-rare. Diabi looks decent for a speedster down the wing. Vinicius looks dope. Again, speedster down the wing. Open Makana looks as OP as ever, just like last year. This guy was getting some love today. Kunde, Sevilla Link.  There's some nice Sevilla links, especially if Diego Carlos gets a decent card. You could have some nice links there with French links as well. I tweeted out this Osemen today. This to me screams ones to watch. When you have a card like this, get upgraded plus two, plus three, I think you got a plus two. That is like perfect criteria for an EA sports ones to watch. Of course, this would be probably like a discard OTW or really cheap at the start of the game. But that's a nice starter gold card and that could be an investment that we're possibly looking at in the next couple of weeks out of packs. Kamara's not terrible as a starter CDM and then Esauk as a starter striker looks kind of decent as well. Those are some of your biggest, these are the top 20 young guys or something like that, best young players under 22 years old. So let's look at this last set really fast and talk about this. Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Mbappe, five star skillers this year. I don't think there's any in here that I was surprised to see added in. Coutinho, center attack in mid position change card. Now this is interesting because he's got not a lot of pace, but 88 dribbling, 82 passing. This is going to be a card that gets used by a lot of people in foot off the rip just because of his dribbling, his five star skills and his links. That's going to be a popular card right away. Same thing with Usman Dembele, left wing. Again, this is just another one of those cards that transitioned from right wing to left wing from last year to this year in FIFA. And it's just overloading. I feel like if FIFA was a boat right now, the left side of that boat is just tipping because there's so many guys on the left side. So many left wings in this game that it's crazy. Pro-Mes with a position change to center attack in mid. That's going to be a guy you've seen a lot of starter teams as well. That's a GG from EA Sports. And those were kind of like the biggest highlights. Ribbery with a center forward card. That's pretty nice. Quadrado. Again, this card kind of reminds me of like Jesus Navas's right back card. Not a lot of physical, but there's not a lot of right backs in his league. Bernard Deschi of course, getting a cam card. David Nara is going to be a great SBC fodder investment all year long. St. Maximum with a left mid. Gelsa Martins is a good starter right mid in those leagues. El Shirawi even looks decent. He's in a bad league of course, but that's Italian and gets some links there. And then rolling down through the rest of this list and not a ton of guys in here. Just some Pacy cards that are five star skillers. We're confirmed getting Liberatorious cards, it looks like. Maybe since this is the same last year design, it's actually not confirmed yet. But I mean, if they're showing these guys as Commie Bowl, Liberatorious, that would make me think that we're going to have those licenses active again inside of FIFA 21. So another kind of a longer video today, but there's a lot of stuff to go over, man. There's really just a ton of stuff to go over in terms of these prices. I might even end up doing another one of these videos for even like lower tier, even some other meta players that get released. Maybe we'll do like surprise ratings and look at some of those prices of meta cards that you guys want to look at when we get the full database. Hopefully that is today. So again, if you have any questions, if you have any comments, drop those down below. And I hope you guys enjoyed this video. If you did, smash a thumbs up on it. Again, comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe to the channel if you are new. It's been Nate, The Foot Accountant. I will catch you guys later. Peace.

Look at that. Maybe that's what he means. That looks really cool You can really see it really well this kind of hard to see because of the light That's okay.  Let's see if I can cover it up so you guys can see what's in here Okay, we can cover up that part you guys can see my address because that's what you sent you so you put the Anti-manga shonen jump coming this fall. That's pretty cool for the Yu-Gi-Oh the movie. There's My address if you guys want to send me anything for a future mail video. There's been three mail videos already So it's been pretty cool Yeah, so let's open this up now that I have covered that up. I don't want to show his address obviously All right, let's do like that. We'll see if there's a note in here This one's from Ryan by the way if there is no note Okay, let's get that over there. All right Put the knife aside and let's get into what this is so we have more of the manga. Oh look at this We've got two of the cards from the packs when you'd open up the movie pack You either get this card what upon pyramid of light I think and blue eyes shining dragon. Those are your options there What are these cars these rush? Is that rush tool? Yeah rush? Okay rush tool. There it is We got pot of green. That's an a Korean LLB card That's pretty cool Why he has a lot of these uh shonen jump coming this fall. It's kind of funny Let's get that over there. Let's put that up here. Okay. What is this? Oh? Whoa an ultimate rare. Is that an ultimate rare? Wait Was it an ultra rare maybe it's an ultra rare. I can't see okay. Let's check it first of all I still can't tell for some reason It seems shiny. Is it like I don't know what this is It seems like an ultimate rare because it's not a collector's rare or it would have the texture, right? Yeah, this should be an ulti. It's very flat though like compared to Compared to our oldies. I don't know. I think it's a I think it's an ulti. You guys let me know who are experts on Okay, I don't even know what language this in I'm assuming this is Okay, Japanese JP. Okay, that's OCG. That is probably an ulti I really don't know as much about Japanese cards obviously Okay, oh here we go. What is this? Let's get on to this next thing. What okay? What is this? Advertisement, okay, I'm not sure what that is, but that's cool From your friend at Zom Zamasus. Yes, that is a Japanese ulti. Oh my he read my mind This is crazy. Yes, that's a Japanese ulti So I'm over here babbling about if it's Japanese ulti flip over the note boom Yes, that the Japanese ulti my question has been answered So you guys can answer in the comments if you want but he knew he knew I would be like what in the world Is this Japanese or not? Oh wow? We got some packs in here guys. We got some packs I Might need those scissors back because I really am terrible at opening Japanese packs. Okay Here's English let's start with this just so I know how to open it and This is dimensional guardians, and I have no idea what's in the set. Oh and the front is the rare So we were already ruined it King synchro dark dark Resonator isn't that the card that Jack Atlas uses all the time? I'm pretty sure it is.  I'm gonna feel really bad But also it's echo and we don't pull anything on a echo definitely my worst Okay, okay, he's guts So we didn't get anything but that's that's usual with echo. So I don't feel bad about it at all Okay, we don't want to ruin this one this one could have a trish in it So let's do it like this it also could have a $20 super rare. It was 20 It's probably less now, but it was like a $20 super rare. It's like that Jirak card So it's a super. So let's see if we can get it fabled Pegalysis fable catfish Naturia land use That looks like tortera from Pokemon except with a longer a longer neck. That's what that looks like Okay, do us pack Yugi we can get dark paladin. We can get mirror force Okay, this is gonna be lit Monster reborn the best rare you can possibly want Monster reborn. All right, we're gonna go with the last English pack. I think Rise of destiny. We've had some really good luck with rise of destiny The rise of the destiny here we go. Can we pull machine dupe? Rock from the valley of haste necklace of command The necklace meme that is funny. Okay, cool rise of destiny pack always nice to see that now We have some okay. I don't know what this is limited edition for that looks cool Always another English. Okay. Let's do the English ones and then we'll finish with oh get a movie pack Get a movie pack. Okay. We got to open this for the blue eyes shining dragon Premium pack seven. Okay. There's all kinds of great stuff. There's only one card in here Last time I opened this was the 10k special make sure you guys check that out. That was pretty awesome This is gonna be a longer video by the way, so I hope you guys are enjoying it. Here we go Sorcerer of dark magic second best card you can want Check that out near mint condition. Okay a little stuff on it But that's okay for being one card in a pack not too bad, so we're gonna sleeve that one up for sure We'll sleeve it up with the uh With the shonen jump in there as well Pretty cool movie pack pull Let's put that with our Japanese ulti Sofoo thunder dragons, that's pretty much all I know about this set. Here we go Can we get something? Jack Jaguar Mystric holder Temple we bet we this is back when they still had rares guys back in the solid rares crazy Legendary duelist magical hero the last this should be the last English then we're on to Japanese and Korean I believe Here we go You pull something cool jet sink run odd eyes wizard dragon. He's a dragon and a wizard and you can't really mess with that okay Let's do the Korean packs first. Let's go with LOB Korean and then we'll do these cool-looking ones Oh 20th anniversary special pack. I'm pretty sure that's like a really sweet pack Okay, we're gonna we're gonna save those for last. Okay, you guys always tell me there's a flap to rip it on Is this it I? Can't do it. I can't do it. I'm too weak No, wait, maybe it's at the top. Is that what this is? Oh We did it. It only took 40 openings of Korean LOB by the way, we've opened a million of these, okay But now what it's on the corner Yeah, we finally figured it out. We can open the packs without scissors It still takes me five minutes so you guys it takes me longer than a blister pack. Okay Let's get that over there. Here we go. Let's see if we can pull a blue eyes No, not even a rare. So no, we're not gonna pull blood that one. Okay, let's see if we can speed it up Okay, kind of worked Okay, you're definitely supposed to be able to pull it all the way down But I'll take I'll take our progress we've made so far. He taught to me giant like we already saw earlier We've got a main eater main eater. Sorry not a main eater, but just a main eater Yeah, these Korean packs there they put so many in a box that it's like the ratio of actually pulling of foils pretty low Okay Hard armor machine conversion factory dark energy. That's me giant. Stop defense are rare Okay, last pack our chance to get a foil out of LOB Can it be something good? Can it give us some hope for the 20k special when we open those first edition packs? Here we go Last chance from LOB. Here we go mammoth graveyard, you know, Tama beaver warrior vile germs and Tara the terrible pools Tara the terrible pools. Okay, here we go. What do we want to do? We have three more packs. These are from Zameceus, is that right Zameceus? Yes. What are we gonna pull premium packs seven? Limited edition four. I don't even know which one's the best, but this one looks cool This one seems really full, but I'm gonna go ahead and open this one. I Might have to cut this open Because I don't see it. I don't see a cut on it guys. You guys will probably tell me there is one, but just easier to do this Okay, here we go. We are already way into this video. This is gonna be like a 30 minute video Okay, oh look how glossy these are like that return from a different dimension. Oh What is this one? It's like I forgot what that card is called Familiar Knight, I think it's the name of that one pet into the dark clown Something about Rare metal dragon or something. Oh the Sphinx wait. Oh, it is the Sphinx in all these like the movie pack. I Wonder if it is. Let me know. Let me know guys is the Sphinx in all these but the Japanese Sphinxes so these are actually pretty cool. It's a premium pack So I would guess it is premium packs usually have like stuff like that We got I don't remember what the girl one's called telea or something andro and Cecilius is I'm probably way off. I'm just saying stuff now. There we go. We got a three foil. So we'll take it It's a very movie-like Now we've got limited edition for I don't know what this one is the pack artwork is incredible though. It looks really good Yeah, that's like super awesome Okay Here we go What can we pull from this pack? Honestly? Don't know here. We go. Oh cool Queens night. Is this all the nights? Oh nice That is pretty awesome So you got the Queens night the Kings night and the Jacks night all in one pack So I assume that's like, you know the guaranteed The Japanese had a lot more packs like that where it was like You get the same thing every time. Yeah, this one had a little bit of scuffing on it because it was on the back But that's really cool. So those are really cool. This one is probably the same way. It probably has the same thing Let's see what's in it. I don't really know actually this one you probably open normally because it's not a long crimp All right, here we go Let's see what is in here. Can it be something epic? It's one card. So I'm guessing it's the same Oh, it's two cards. Okay Is that herald of something light pure light white light herald of light something like that and a skull conductor? Okay, so I'm confused is What what were we supposed to get from that? Let me know. I don't know I don't know what we're supposed to get these in every time. Do you have a chance of something big? I feel like maybe we did Because I don't think commons would be the normal thing. I'm not sure but either way really cool We got some really awesome stuff from that mail and now that we've done the mail Let's do the 20 pack opening. Let's move these over here. We're gonna put these cards like this I'm gonna move that back there. All right, so thanks again. Is it me see us also? Here we go for Josh. We have 20 packs for Josh Can we pull a kaius the shadow monarch? That is our goal. We also could pull a rescue cat He told me that his sister is gonna steal it from him if he does though So maybe we don't want to pull that a DD crow. That's a good. That's a good comment Magical Android. Yeah, because if we pull a cat and his sister takes it, you know, it's like a $40 card So I don't know if he really wants to lose a $40 card or not So we'll see what Josh off to let me know in the comments DD Same same pack. Basically. We got DD and magical Android in the same pack Okay, so we don't have to go too slow on these seeing as we have we are 20 minutes in the video almost Procurement and retiari DD crow is definitely one of the best comments. That's nice to pull that Then you want to pull foils, of course Can you pull kaius? Rescue cat. There's the kitty the kitty cat that he will have to Give to his sister. That's kind of funny. Okay rescue cat. That's a really good pull It's like a $40 card last time I checked so it could have changed a little bit But it probably didn't change too much. I don't think they've reprinted rescue cat in the last couple sets So they definitely have it because I've opened cases of them are a dark eruption So so far good start now if you can pull the kaius, it'll be very good 20 packs That's definitely the best super. Okay, we got another DD crow. He's already got a play set So far an incredible opening a play set of DD crow or rescue cat Yeah, not much to complain about here X-X saber Sometimes we have good luck with the turbo sometimes we don't it just it feels like you don't because you get so few foils Compared to a lot of other stuff, but that's just how it goes That's why most of the foils are have some value DD crow again. Oh my goodness for DD crow. All right Got a kaiq dark eruption. Let's pack. Oh Morphotronic cell phone It's another super rare. So you got two supers the ratio for supers is pretty low So two supers is already good one cat one cell phone. I'm not sure the value of cell phone It's not as good as cat. Obviously this cat is very expensive. We got another DD crow and a Fault troll. Yeah, five DD crows. Let's get double play sets here It's not a very big set but still pulling to a play set out of 20 packs would be crazy another one of that guy Wow, we've already opened this many packs. Is he crazy? Okay Let us pull an epic ulti come on Dark refer ultra rare. Okay. He's doing really good even if he doesn't get the ulti This is really nice a dark greffer ultra rare two super rares five DD crow This is very good luck for Josh. Yes. This is awesome. Come on. Let's pull the ulti for him as well That'd be pretty sweet saber slash. He's got Six packs left to pull the ultimate rare. That would be crazy. Lucky That would be super crazy to pull all those cards in 20 packs Here we go. We're chariot rich Yari Five more chances for Josh. Hope you guys have enjoyed the viewer mail and the turbo pack opening it's pretty fun to do both and We've done we've opened some pretty cool stuff you guys sit in Some really cool stuff and the last three videos there's all there's been some unique stuff every single time Which is a lot of fun. I really like to open stuff that I've never seen before just makes it interesting and We have three packs left for Josh Can he pull something else at the end to make it epic? Can he pull the six DD crow? He hit five and now he's on a bit of a cold streak, but that's okay Make sure you guys like the video if you have enjoyed it. It has been a lot of fun. Here we go Here we go DD crow there it is the double play set Definitely a great opening. He's done really well. All right, can we pull the final pack kaius and A fault troll so no kaius unfortunately, but he did pull Six DD crow and he pulled three foils He pulled morphotronic cell phone the best super slash anything actually the second best card behind kaius rescue cat And then a dark reverberation things about 20 bucks. So definitely a nice opening. He did really well. Good job, Josh Thank you for buying those packs and I will send these out to you soon And of course, don't forget you guys send in this epic stuff and don't forget those epic cards Let's get them in the light again It's Zodia We'll see you guys later. Peace Dark bright


Looks like she ate a bad black and white cookie and puffed all the way up.  Here we have the Yellowstone version of Succession. I just had a loss for words on this one. Conspiracy theory? He didn't have an outfit prepared in time so he raided his seven-year-old sister's closet. Everything on him is somehow too short and too long. The stripper golden chain lasso around his waist. That was a nice touch with the frilly pom-pom. Deadly, this nightmare concoction probably costs more than I make in a month.


So, a question I keep getting over and over again is, when should I hire someone? And that's a tricky question and let's roll back a little bit to, okay, you work in the IT business and I'm speaking from the IT business because that's the business I know. I've worked in it now. I've owned my business for 15 years and I've worked in the industry for over 22 now. I'm old to the great here and the reason I'm holding a piece of paper here is not because I'm reading a script obviously or I would be more concise but process and procedure is where you start before you start with the question of do I hire someone and I see this a lot with IT companies especially the one-man shows that start up and I'm not at all. I mean with a lot of us started there as a one-man band doing everything but unless you're working from the beginning with processes and procedures hiring someone doesn't make any sense you just end up adding to the chaos and having them going now what boss now what if you don't have procedures that funnel work to them and processes that bring work to them don't hire someone that is the step you need before the question becomes do I hire someone and I see that because you have to look at the process and go can I give this to someone else to do that's a challenge you have to find someone especially in the IT business yet to find someone with a lot of competency in the same things you're doing you know whether it be you focus on the firewalls you focus on this or in a small business IT support you're focusing on a lot of different things at once and sometimes finding staff that specializes in a task that you know you can delegate is very very helpful will allow you to grow your business when do you decide well when you think you can compartmentalize that process you know even if it's just answering the phone sometimes people hire out just the answering the phone portion because they're going hey I just need someone to take all these calls and kind of organize my jobs for me they don't have to be as technical to do that they just have to have some understanding take some of support calls is it a real call or can I just tell them to remove the computer and all their problems will be gone and back to the piece of paper I know what's going on with this laptop sitting here this little post-it note on the back plus which is some comment they had about the screen that was replacing here because it says was dropped screen broken and replace it and replace the hard drive on here back to process procedure I don't know who this particular person is I didn't personally meet them and that's because there's a process there's a process I have documented that my employees follow that is basically from the time someone makes a call of my laptop's broken what do I do and they say you should bring it into our store there's some starting at the retail store part they bring it in there's a write-up procedure there's a procedure for how to quote this there's standardized pricing for screen replacements this one because this was a touchscreen they know that that breaks the process so let's start with the normal process of we can flat rate most screen repairs but touchscreens are different so here's a touch screen repair well what do we do boss and what you have to do is if you don't have a guide some of it's going to be some trial and error but a lot of it just comes from my knowledge working in this business I know touchscreens cost more than regular screens to replace so we have to look up the part number on it look up the laptop come up with a price those are all procedures this entire process from quote to say all happened without me and I'm doing it on the retail side and talking about that because it's kind of easier to create processes for the retail side but we have them for our business side as well you know someone calls in I need 10 drops installed for infrastructure I can completely send Corey out on that lead and the lead doesn't have to come through me that's another process procedure and they can call our general sales line and we have people who answer the sales line sometimes I answer the sales I like answering it I still like doing that I'm not the external business owner who treats this as an investment I treated as an actively engaged business owner because I have a passion for doing this and but those procedures are so important before you ever get to hiring you have to be thinking about that from the time you start till you hire that person because you hire someone you don't have process procedure I'm sorry you're that person's not going to be very effective you're going to be very agitated they're not just mentally reading your mind but you always have to stop back anytime someone doesn't do a thing stop back and ask did you get the right training did you give them the right procedures to do that those are huge factors now the money and compensation thing that's that's going to be really variable in your area I watch people all the time again find employees and I'm like you're paying less than their market value you're not going to get the best and brightest if you pay less than market value what's market value well that's going to be determined by the market you're in I'm here just south of Detroit I know where the market value is what you have to pay people and what you have to do to retain talent and the things that we do here but I see people offering next to minimum wage for a store technician and going man this guy doesn't know about computers really you found someone who works for minimum wage who's not super great at computers and following processes I don't know what you're looking for it is an expense but if you're doing your business right you can afford those people you can afford good people on there it's a really tough thing it's not like there's a magic this is the process and let me lay it out for you for me to buy my special playbook and it'll tell you exactly how to hire someone I think you can get a lot of insight from different business owners reading different business books and things like that but staffing is hard I don't have a matter of fact I don't have a book recommendation for staffing I've just worked in places and when I was an employee I was fascinated with how things were done which is what led me to be an entrepreneur and let me be a business owner I was always fascinated by the process so the most of my learning was from direct hands-on do's and don'ts you know don't complain when you hire someone for minimum wage and can't believe they're not the star performer in your company but money isn't everything you can't have people as a star performer unless you set them up in an environment to succeed I never run around just saying if there's a failure or a ploy doesn't follow a process I retrain them when a process failure I look at my process is there a flaw in it I'm not so proud going man I have got the perfect money-making system and there is no suggestion that can make me do it differently I've had in staff who you know interactive with them hey I would it'd be more efficient if you did this sometimes I agree sometimes I disagree and you ultimately do have to make a decision you don't want to let just anyone influence you so there's this whole balancing combination there's not a secret formula and processes and procedures I mean after being in business for 15 years they've changed a lot we used to do a lot of desktop support now it's laptops on the retail side desktops are very rare and we do a lot of b2b support so there's processes and procedures for that b2b support being a much more uh nebulous hard to wrap your hand around I mean there's a call and support procedure and most of the problems are fixing outlook and printers and having documentation for each client it gets a lot more complicated but I've done this I've done kind of the process from quote to sail workflow I've got videos on that you know how we do things but before you hire someone the bottom line is you have to be and this is if you start a company I don't even if it's outside of it this is still the same thing you start a company often if it's a small business you start it with yourself unless you got funded to hire people from the rip um but you have to have lots of process and procedures in place and those are what gets you to those next level you compartmentalize as you grow the company and you get busy in certain tasks you end up focusing where the employee just does this thing and when you look at large companies and uh I we'd mentioned before my wife works for quick and loans it's very compartmentalized it went from you know the guy starting the business and closing loans to now they have individual people who just do the sales call portion who just do the verification portion who just do that and specialization and that's how you scale as a company is you keep compartmentalizing down and often you promote the people that were with you the longest because they understood all the jobs before that you had to then take and compartmentalize their job and slice it up so when do you hire the first person not until you have a procedure to give to that person and be able to hand them that job so that's my tip for that it's just a common question on there and uh the next question that people ask direct related is how do you handle payroll not internally uh there's a lot of laws and everything around it either use one of those payroll companies to do your payroll or in my case my accountant does my payroll because it's an inclusive service if you have a full service accounting firm that like the one we use it works great in you they just take care of it top to bottom they do my accounting my books file my taxes and create my paychecks for me i send them how much to pay the staff they pay them so uh that's when it comes to payroll you you if you're trying to save a couple dollars doing yourself i don't really think it's worth the headache maybe you do maybe you go man i enjoy filing forms in nine forties and everything else if that's your thing maybe you should work in accounting um they they seem to enjoy filing those papers i like the fact that they're filed properly with all the things in the right places and i don't get in trouble and until you're big enough to hire inside accounting and even then the same thing we're pitching we can be your outside managed it they're they're my outside managed accounting i haven't had a need to have someone staffed to file the government paperwork related to that work create all the paychecks it's worth the fees i pay them every month to handle that so uh that's my tips for today um as i get more questions i will try to come up with some of the videos to answer some of these things like this i mean they're important i never really after being busy for i don't always think about it as much i know a lot of you are starting out that are watching this video so uh there's other questions leave me below and maybe i'll compile another list and do another q&a here and answer some of the little tips that you're looking for and i'm also going to be doing some more business

So now we have discussed different types of policies related to Pakistan, like gender policy, family policy, crime policy, health and education. Now we discuss the impact of globalization on social policy literature and practice everywhere, not focused on Pakistan. So what is globalization? Globalization is the more and more emphasis on travel and other things. Globalization means that more interactions, more travel, more data movement, more capital movement, all these things are part of the globalization. For centuries, local was everything. So localities defined people. So there was a distinct culture of every locality. There was a distinct language spoken there. There was distinct tribe or social structure and foreigner meant any person who was from another village or from another town. Most of the people don't left their town or their area all their lives. So that was the situation in around 11, 12th or centuries before. The globalization started after the age of discovery. So age of discovery was from 15th to 18th century. During this age, European explorers discovered America and circumnavigated the globe. There was a scientific revolution, Copernicus, Newton and other scientists. They come up with new scientific discoveries. Then there was this as a result of this age of discovery and movement of Europeans outside their homes. We have colonization, exploitation of the people and as well as slavery. Global trade of course increased because of this but the problem with this global trade was that it was only with their own colonies. So Europeans were trading globally but only with their own colonies. So French were trading with French colonies and British were trading with British colonies. After the age of discovery we have four waves of globalization. So globalization one from 19th century to 1914, globalization two from 45 to 89, globalization three from 89 to 2008 and then the globalization four. The first wave of globalization from 19th century to 1914 was dominated by the British Empire. It was said that sun never set on the British Empire because the British possessions were dispersed around the globe. So whenever the sun set in one area it was actually coming out from another area. So the inventions which are related to this wave were steam engine and industrial weaving machine. So this led to factories making large number of products and then there were steamships to transport them all around the world and there was these colonies available to buy those things which were produced by England and other European countries. And then of course there was this invention of stock exchange and then there were international companies and people have the opportunity to buy or invest in these countries. In these companies. The second wave started from 1945 to 1989. Between 1914 and 1945 there were two world wars and depression. So these three events actually decrease the global trade and as more and more trade was linked to military rather than other commercial activity. And then of course great depression led to trade wars and increasing of tariff in almost all major countries. After 1945 the global trade again started its ascent. So the new hegemon which is the US led the world using new technologies such as automobiles and airplanes. Soviet Union also helped the global trade in its own sphere trading with even bilateral trading with other communist countries. There was world peace during this time local wars continued but overall there was peace so that helped the increase in global trade. And it increased to 14% of the world GDP. There was also the rise of China. The third wave of globalization started in 1990 when the European Union collapsed and the Iron Curtain also went down. And then there was nothing to stop the neoliberal ideas to be promoted and to be accepted all over the world. So communism was out. So globalization became the all conquering force. China also changed itself and didn't remain a communist country. It remained a communist country only in name. Otherwise it became part of the capitalist world. There was also world trade organization which was created in the late 90s. And it also helped to increase the global trade. And major economies like India, Brazil, China all slashed their tariffs to help the global trade. Computers, internet and mobile communication were technologies which helped increase the movement of capital, movement of goods and movement of people. Global export rose from 14% of the world GDP in the last wave to 25% of world GDP. And the global trade became half of the world GDP that is 50%. And there was the integration of supply chains like never before. So if you are making a car, a part of it may be built in India, another one in China. The engine may be coming from France. The headlights may be coming from US. And the actual the car will be assembled in Mexico. So that is how the global supply chains worked. We are currently in the fourth wave of globalization which started after 2010. During the last few years before this 2010 there was this global recession and it decreased the global trade of our time being. But now the global trade is now in full swing. This era of globalization or wave of globalization is dominated by US and China and the technologies that are leading this march of global trade are e-commerce, digital services and artificial intelligence.


All right, so we finally got to the routines and habits part Which is I think I've said this for every literally for every part finally we are here But it's because every single lesson is so important subhanAllah and every lesson Compliments the other and every lesson explains the other and every lesson gives you the practical steps for the theory of the previous one So subhanAllah this whole module is Is Is is so important man so important. I can't stress it enough. All right, so routines and habits Routines and habits we as human beings. We are creatures creatures of habit our routines define our character and they exert an invisible Force on our behavior Okay, whatever we do is a function of our practices Practices therefore the best way to achieve any worthwhile Goal is to train ourselves to do the things that will lead to the goal to the goal effortlessly First of all Sleep we need to master this we need to master the sleep when we sleep We give the brain and the body time to rest and heal NREM sleep is Responsible for freeing up space in your brain so you can learn new things in the morning like I was telling you guys in the earlier lesson When you go sleep you recharge Right you recharge throughout the day the more you talk the more you see the more you hear You know all of that starts to take away from your energy when you sleep is your it's like basically like you plug it in You've your phone to the to the battery So usually REM sleep happens night in it now There is a difference between and REM sleep and REM sleep and REM sleep is basically non Rapid eye movement REM sleep is rapid eye movement. This is the deepest of Sleep and there are different stages as we as we about to see now Usually REM sleep happens 90 minutes 90 minutes after you fall asleep the first period of REM Typically last 10 minutes each of your later REM stages get slunger and the final one may last up to an hour Ideally you need four to six cycles of sleep every 24 hours Four to six cycles of sleep every 24 hours to feel fresh to feel fresh and rested each cycle Contains four individual stages three that form non-rapid.  All right, so Now the REM sleep restores your brain for efficient studying as we said and for you to get to the REM sleep It takes on average one to one hour and one hour 30. This means that from when you fall asleep After one hour to one hour 30 is when you get to the REM sleep Okay, so for healthy adults spending 20 to 25 percent of their time as sleep in the REM stage is a good goal If you get seven eight hours of sleep around 90 minutes of that of that should be REM. Okay, that's for an adult So to manage this I use two tools. The first one is a white noise machine second one is a Nora ring, okay, what are this and And you know how to get them, which by the way, I will leave you guys all the links of anything necessary Down below now the aura ring basically what it does for me is it tracks my sleep So when I wake up in the morning, I By the way, I have a Fitbit as well, but I've seen that the Fitbit It's not as accurate as the aura ring to track to manage your sleep like to To give you the stats of your sleep however, you know, it's good as well to to manage your your sleep Which I'll tell you guys about it anyways, so the aura ring basically tells you how long you have been in your lightest sleep How long you have been awake like you don't even realize how long you are awake throughout the night You see many times we say oh what time is it now 10? Okay, so we woke up at 6 or we will sleep 10 11 12 but that doesn't work like that like most of the times out of the whole time You think it was asleep at least like one hour and a half two hours you was awake and you didn't even realize So it tells you your REM sleep. It tells you your light sleep your deep sleep and through deep basically through Obviously what you cannot measure you cannot make better So if you measure your sleep and you see for example, okay today, I ate at 8 p.m And yesterday my REM sleep was good, but but but before yesterday I ate at 10 p.m And I've seen that my REM even though I slept the same time my REM sleep wasn't good For example, so you can track and see based on okay today I worked out and as in my deep sleep was was you know Many hours or like a big percentage of my whole sleep and it's true that I feel more refreshed or today I slept nine hours and I'm more tired and my REM sleep is not that so basically based on your routines and based on your habits You can see what benefits your sleep and what does not benefit your sleep It's good as well the ordering because it tells you for example if you start to get sick you see when your body starts to like your bones hurt and You feel weak like your ordering check sees that as well Like always seems like you you start to get sick your HR HRV balance Your blood pressure or you know resting heart rate, etc. It's not good enough So it shows the app that and it tells the app that You know something's going on your body that is not normal and and you know you're getting sick so actually I caught I caught COVID about two years ago and Saw it in the app before I actually started feeling it So so you know it's good as well for you to start attacking like if you start to think that you might start getting sick Start like taking you know ginger, honey Turmeric lemon juices or teas in order for you to To to attack that Sickness early so so ordering second thing white noise machine What does the white noise machine do is basically it blocks out background noises that would make you wake up and break Your sleep cycles. So as we said guys, you need you know, this is like It's so important that you Sleep for a long period of time. Matter of fact, they say that interrupted sleep is worse than lack of sleep And by the way interrupted sleep, it was a way and lack of sleep as well. It was a way of it is a way of Of punishment in a way of what's the word is a way of torture They use it as third a store chair They use that in places like one time or more in places like this as torture if you watch the documentaries so And and it's because it really messes you up like not sleeping. He really messes you up So when you sleep, it's not good. It messes you up as well. Obviously to a lower scale But it still messing you up. So the white noise what it does is basically the sound You can make a white noise sound or offend sound and basically you start to like your brain and some conscious mind is Focused and here's the sound so you don't hear the background noises.  I never dream man. It's like well You go sleep late and you work early in the morning. You don't take care of the or your sleep on average he sleeps like Five to six hours he never dreams and To be honest with you, you know He's not too sharp in terms of like sharpness of memory, etc. Etc. So this how important it is and many people neglect Sleeping so all ring to track yours, you know to to measure and to to see your stats, etc White noise machine to not wake up to not wake up And to you know complete those cycles to get to the REM sleeping and have good sleep now sleeping between 90 and 110 minutes gives you your body time to complete one full cycle one full sleep cycle and Can minimize Drugginess when you wake up In fact the study is determined that of that a full night of interrupted sleep is Equivalent to no more than four hours of consecutive sleep in terms of how you will likely feel and act the next day after several sleep Sleepiness nights the mental effects become more serious your brain will fog Making it difficult to concentrate learn new things and make decisions and obviously that that might cause stress that might cause anxiety that stress and anxiety might cause actual diseases, so You know like sleep is so important. That's why I said the first thing the first habit the first Routine that we need to adapt and fix is our sleep is our sleep to be more effective, right?  So this is it? It has different noises This is the ones I like personally Then you have the fan noises Yeah apart from this you can put the volume up and down and as well you can set 60 minute cycles So if you click in if you click on here one two three four five In five hours, it will turn off basically. All right, and this is the auto ring That I wear before going to sleep. So you guys can see it's so tired already from from wearing it and Yeah, I don't like wearing it throughout the day. It can count your calories burnt as well, but It's just uncomfortable to I'm not a ring guy first of all and second of all it's not I Don't know. It's just not aesthetic. It's not comfortable for me to wear rings. So I don't wear it throughout the day That's why I wear the Fitbit Which counts my calories steps, etc. The whole ring doesn't count steps. Just it just counts calories And then the eye mask the eye mask You know in case you cannot block out the whole room like make it a really dark room I highly recommend to have a To have a eye mask so how to get a good REM sleep, which is the most important sleep Develop a sleep or actually they say that deep sleep is the most important thing that even if you don't get REM sleep And you get deep sleep you will still feel refreshed but as we said REM sleep is the one that works for your creativity creativity and your You know of your sharpness in terms of your your mind, etc. And your brain and you're in you know regenerate and new neurons, etc So how to get a good REM sleep develop a sleep schedule Okay, go to bake it go to bed and wake up at the same time every day These primes your body for sleep and waking don't drink caffeine Let alone smoke, cigarette, shisha later in the day. These are stimulants and can interfere interfere with your sleep Put together a relaxing sleep routine before bed warm bath relaxing sounds in the house no bright lights or quietly reading our good our all good Activities get regular exercise try to get about 20 to 30 minutes a day But do do so several hours before bed This could be fast-paced walking as well Make sure you don't do it like right before going to sleep like do it at least three hours before going to sleep Because after you work out your body still in your blood still running very fast. So So one thing that I have realized is that I get good sleep when I have a good one hour of walking a Good one hour of walking around five kilometers of walking. I Get a very good sleep after that and I feel like if I worked out matter of fact I Realize that running 30 minutes. I burn the same amount of calories And I feel kind of like the same amount of tired running 30 minutes Then walking in and walking one hour. It's pretty much a burn the same calories and feel the same amount of Tiring obviously you don't work as much as your muscles then what you're running But if you're not a you know workout person, etc Adapt a walking routine to get a better a better sleep matter of fact if you if you can't even get if you you know If you live in places are no places like for example, Canada and the US people don't really walk outside like that So you can get a a running machine in the house or a walking machine in the house and do one One hour of walking while you're revising your words while you're listening to a to a to a audio book or podcast or whatever It might be Five create an ideal environment for sleep. That means no bright lights My advice is block out like a room that is all dark or where if not where an eye mask Not too hard and not too cold The the best or you know the the adequate temperature is 40 20 24 Celsius 24 degrees Celsius and don't watch the division Look at the phone iPad or computer screen within one hour before going to bed very important But these anyways as we said Or actually we didn't say yeah, we're about to say it. We are going to make sure we Lock our phone before going to sleep. We'll talk about it in a bit If you can sleep don't lie in bed awake Get up and go into another room and do something quietly like read or listen to something relaxing until you are sleepy 7 Replace your pillows if you if you've had your pillows for more than a year consider replacing them This might make you more comfortable for sleep Number two of the routines what we need to adapt plan your tomorrow today Planning ahead for tomorrow is the reduces reduces stress and saves time is a proactive approach for controlling Your schedule versus allowing it to control you it it also gives you a chance to build daily structure So in the morning Sorry in the night before going to sleep you take five to ten minutes to look at your tomorrow's tomorrow's Schedule and tomorrow's calendar day You know see You know the things that obviously you you will have had Prepared your whole week in terms of like your studies, etc On sunday for example So there are certain things that are already going to be in place However, still look tomorrow like think okay tomorrow morning the first thing Deep work so tomorrow I need to wake up as soon as I take a shower I will sit down and start memorizing Etc etc like plan your tomorrow today So that way when you wake up you already know what you what you're about to do you start doing etc That way it doesn't control you like you wake up in the morning your wife say oh You don't remember we need to Go get it. Oh, oh, yeah, I forgot.  Okay. I don't get any benefit. I'm not Payed by anyone no promotions or anything this right here is literally made me so productive and if it wasn't because of This type of routines and this type of habits Probably you wouldn't even be watching andres institute today because andres institute was built Upon this discipline. I have been a whole year like imagine this I think I didn't say this and I don't say enough A whole year. I spent a whole year By myself away from family in an apartment That was my grandmother's apartment. I didn't pay no rent Because I was broke etc. And I had a 10 000 debt that particular year I didn't do anything other than implement and start this This habits that was in 2018. I read uh, I read 12 books that changed, you know, my whole perspective on on my life, etc on my habits, etc And and yet all of this this as a side note, you know, all of this to say that When you implement these habits in your life, you are able to build and you are able to accomplish Very nice things and very, you know And things that people will admire And it only comes like the base of of like the the roots of that things and the basement of that thing Is these routines and these habits? So this right here is for you to log your phone away. This phone has been logged now for like For like three days It's my social media phone. I have all the social media in here And um, and that's what I advise you guys and this is what they call what they call choice architecture intervention if your phone is available when you wake up You will more likely feel the urge to pick it up and check notifications messages, etc If you lock it away before going to sleep when you wake up, you won't get distracted by it So this right here, you guys will be able to and by the way I advise you guys to get this size that you guys see on screen instead of this one because this one is small And if you want to do this for example with your significant other or you want to put something In here other than the phone This is very small However, it's good because I I do travel a lot and uh and yeah, I just uh You know, I just took this one for my phone. But before I had a iPhone pro max and he he couldn't he couldn't fit in there so um So yeah The link of to get all of these things is going to be down below like I said guys So lock your phone away when preparing to go to sleep Locking your phone away needs to become a daily habit of yours If we can get rid of it completely because obviously, you know a phone you might get important calls family, etc Nowadays the phone it became a necessity. So if you cannot, you know, uh, get rid of it completely at least Uh, you know block it Like lock it away from One time to another time like for example when I was building building under this institute I used to block my phone away From 6 p.m. Sorry from from uh From 9 p.m. To 6 p.m. So my phone was unlocked for three hours per day For three hours per day, I would check I would you know respond to messages, etc, etc Nowadays what I do is I have two phones. I have this one that is locked and this one that I basically don't have nobody has this phone number except for family and And I don't have any app except for things that that are necessary And and yes psychologically. Yes, like you can say well you can still download social media and but You know psychologically since you've made all of these efforts it's almost like It's almost like you can't even do it like It's I don't know how to explain it. I'm pretty sure there's an explanation for this But once you make the effort to do something and you and you like You know you You encrypt and you're in your mind that okay this phone is just for work and it's just for family. It doesn't have any social media, etc It's it's basically the same the same Or they call it actually actually designing for laziness designing for laziness where you are not going to go ahead and download like You don't love enough Like social media and the things that distract you for you to like feel the urge Of like going and downloading maybe in the beginning when your dopamine levels are very high Yes, but if you get if you detox from it for like a day like 24 hours You will feel that those dopamine levels for social media and things that distract you on the phone You don't find the taste anymore and You wouldn't go out your way to download the app and you know put your Password etc etc just to feel a little bit of dopamine And if you do so it will be hard for you to get rid of it again. It's just like a drug so So yeah, there's been my there's been my My way on how to get rid of distractions So you just have to find your your sweet spot Basically your your way on how to do so and this is one of the best ones like locking your phone in the like Since you do your deep work in the morning and your studies in the morning Lock it from 9 p.m. For example to 9 a.m And do your work in the morning and that way you don't feel you don't feel the urge of picking it up in the morning So before going to sleep and before going into deep work mode, we must lock the phone away As well, there is an app guys that has tremendously helped me Um Which is called focus Okay, and focus is an app basically that uh that can on your laptop because obviously maybe you don't have your phone And now you feel the urge To check instagram from your desktop or check youtube or check amazon or check Face time and messages on on the laptop right which is possible Or emails as well. So through this app focus you can um You can basically set Times as you can see here up here As you can see up here I can usually what I do is I do I do four hours for our block blockages Or two hours like if it's something that doesn't require much time And basically what it does it literally like for example, let's do it for for 10 minutes Okay, so now it's blocked. It's blocked for 10 minutes. Okay, and before Before this you can actually go to references and And it allows you to uh To you know to to know which apps you want to which websites you want to block out and which apps you want to block out, etc So now for example if I wanted to go to um If I wanted to go to to youtube and And watch something it literally doesn't allow me same for Facebook for example It doesn't allow me Uh instagram It block it blocks it. So, you know focus is very good It it helps me tremendously You can block out not only websites, but as well apps on your laptop like mail Uh messages face time, etc, etc And yeah, it's just a way to get rid of distractions To do your work because obviously if you're going to be attending the lessons and watching the lessons you're going Most likely going to be in your desktop So you might feel the urge of oh, let me check youtube all and next thing you know, you have been watching videos for 30 minutes 40 minutes three hours. It can go crazy. So So yeah focus is another app to have a must-have In order for you to uh focus now number four is iklin Okay, iklin one thing that I use personally that I have adapted for the past three years as well is the intermittent fasting And basically intermittent fasting all indications show that it's intermittent fasting Not only has positive effects on your body like weight loss and improvement Of risk factors in respect of heart diseases diabetes and the like it also has an extremely Positive effect on your brain allowing increased levels of focus and memory retention and these basically can simply be explained by And what what intermittent fasting is basically you only eat there is different ways of intermittent fasting Me I do this one the 16 8 16 8 so basically, um I just have two meals per day And they are not the first one is just a shake and the second one is a is a full meal So basically to easy explain this is the first for the first six hours of after you wake up You don't eat six seven hours So me personally I do it at 1 p.m. So at 1 p.m. I take my shake Uh, you know, I do a shake You know, I track my calories and stuff uh me personally so You know in terms of like protein and carbs and things like that. So you don't have to be that specific but what I do is At 1 p.m.  You could do something healthy something clean something like don't go ahead and like Break your intermittent fasting at 1 p.m.  It can be a meal a shake with like fruits and and oats and and things like that And then what I do in between 5 p.m. Depending on the day in between 5 p.m. To uh To uh to 8 p.m. Depending on what time did I went to the gym if I went to the gym that day, etc Did I say 1 p.m. I said in between 5 p.m. And 8 p.m.  He says whoever takes control over his stomach will control his religion And whoever dominates his hunger will achieve righteous manners Indeed the disobedience of the disobedience of Allah is far from the hungry from the person who is hungry Close to shaitan And a full stomach kills the heart as well as extreme joy happiness and lafta So, you know when you take control of your stomach like You are able to you don't eat based of oh man. This looks so good.  And it just messes up your heart all right, so Number five by the way, uh, something that I didn't add I remember he said that the best foods is the is the foods of that comes out of earth So, you know any vegetables, uh Things like that. That's the the best type of of foods obviously processed foods and things like that try and avoid it Greasy foods try and avoid them oily too many oils too many spices too Flavor try to avoid all of that eat as clean as possible Five exercise Okay, exercise at least three times per week Go to the gym and follow a workout plan or at least get 10 000 steps per day Like we said, if you don't if you are not a uh, you know a workout person gym person Or you don't have you if you're assisting there is no woman gym around you, etc just get a running, uh a running, uh machine home and Get your 10 000 steps in per day or just walk outside 10 10 000 steps per day While you listen to the audiobook while you are revising while you listen to the lesson Whatever it might be and uh, by the way, android and iphone have built-in step counters But me personally I use fitbit the fitbit, uh Charge for these the charge for and uh, and it counts my my my calories my steps Um, it does your sleep as well and uh And yeah, but it's not as accurate as the horror ring So yeah, you guys will find all of this in the In the description of the video the links. I mean Uh, number six is organization.   That's visualizing like visualize where you want to be Like when you read in six months, I will be speaking Arabic like actually visualize it and feel as if you were already there Okay, and uh, and you can find this in amongst the salafis. Well at tafakkur well fikra Uh, it was reported by Ahmad From mutha'na bin jamia That a man aids until full prayed a lot and fasted a lot and another man ate little and prayed little Voluntary voluntary prayers and he reflected in ponder more Which one is best so alimama had he was asked which one is best? So he mentioned in regards of reflecting reflecting for one hour is better than prayer one whole night Reflecting one hour is better than pray one whole night Obviously reflecting it means like reflecting on subhanallah. I'm I'm a servant of Allah azawajal in this dunya You know life is It's momentary Just reflecting on all of these facts about life Reflecting on how important it is for me to learn the Arabic language in order for me to build a stronger relationship with Allah since this life is momentary momentary All of this is part of reflection So alimama. He said they're reflecting for one hour. It's better than prayer one whole night ibn abbas Aradullah and who he said thinking about the good pushes you to implement it So the more you think and the more you repeat those affirmations on those things that you want to accomplish The more it will push you and as we said before the more Uh, you will keep that emotion or attachment with the with the results and with the goal Which will keep you going Number eight is set goals Setting goals helps trigger new behaviors helps guide your focus and helps your sustain And helps you sustain the momentum in life Goals also help align your focus and promote a sense of self mastery In the end you can manage what you don't measure and you can improve upon something that you don't properly Manage just as your sleep just as you're progressing the Arabic language Just as anything else what you cannot what you don't measure you cannot manage it and you cannot you know improve on it If you don't constantly set and track your goals, you will sooner or later lose purpose Which will make you lose emotional attachment with the results you were chasing which will make you lose inspiration affecting your momentum And next thing you know, it becomes another goal that you haven't Accomplished number nine is practice gratitude always look into the future can cause fear and Can cause fear anxiety stress practice gratitude daily to balance yourself Number one track your progress number two contemplate Your progress and number three. Thank Allah for the progress little or big That will release You know a joy about what you have accomplished, which will keep you going And obviously you can do that through the performance tracker uh, that we will uh, that we provided to you and um And through you know tracking your progress with with if you know creating the youtube videos, etc That will help you to see where you were at as well if you Uh, apply what I have suggested of like You know showing your progress to people and and having this public accountability The comments obviously there's going to be every time you go public. There's always bad comments and there's always negativity Everyone that that's doing something good is always um thrown crap at But there's a lot of people that will give you good uh compliments and and comments that will help you To keep on going. So that's another benefit from that And number nine is focus f c o f o c us Which is which stands for follow one course until success Develop a sense of urgency and endeavor to single handle every task To get things done one time. It is essential You develop a sense of urgency and build momentum When you regularly take continuous action towards your most important goals You activate the momentum principle of success The momentum principle of success states that although getting started may seem to take an initial large amount of energy The energy required to keep going is going to be significantly significantly less Every great achievement of human men of humankind has been proceeded by a long period of hard concentrated work until the job was done Your ability to choose your essential task to start it and then to focus on it single mindedly until it is complete Is the key to high levels of achievement achievement and personal productivity to single to single handle a task you must Work only on that task without any distraction from Beginning through completion concentrating on only one thing At a time as you guys can see every as you guys can see everything that we talk about kind of like evolves around the same type of things Work only on task no distractions without any distractions deep work From beginning to completion focus f o c u f o c us Concentrating on only one thing at a time It's it's a matter of seeing it right through to the end as fast as possible while side stepping Any temptation to stop halfway through Which is what we were talking about You know not thinking that the the grass is growing on the other side By focusing by focusing on only one task at a time and avoiding all distractions You can decrease the time spent on the test by up to 50 percent as i show you guys in the diagram If you focus on eight different things In six months you will still at six percent Of of you know completing that task When if you only focus on one thing at after six months you are at 48 percent So it definitely decreases 50 percent of time spent on that particular task If you focus on only one thing the grass is not greener on the other side Use this course until you achieve success It is a proven method that if you apply success is guaranteed with the permission of Allah This program has been proven the method has been proven I have done it myself students have done it and hundreds of other other students Are in the in the process of doing it So complete the program and I guarantee you that you are going to get what you're looking for inshallah with the tawfiq of Allah So these guys are going to be our 10 commandments of success in the program If we want to succeed in the program, we need to make sure we adapt these routines and these Rituals and these habits in our life number one sleep plan tomorrow today Lock your phone away eat clean exercise organization Visualize daily set goals practice gratitude and focus Okay, you will be able to find this in the resources section or in the in the description down below Print it out and and put it in your in your bathroom with your goals and affirmations or put it in your In your room so so you can see it regularly And and with this being said guys we have Got to the last Point of routines and habits and I will see you guys on the last Part of this lesson on the next video. Salaamu Alaikum
