Yo, what up? It's your boy. That's the Pimpkins a.k.a. Jimmy no fro a.k.a. Jimmy the legend a.k.a. The Legendary Hip Hop welcome to the site to go YouTube channel today's topic that we will go over and discuss It's titled over thinking your thoughts how to let go this topic is very important if you are an over thinker and You really want to let go of over thinking this topic was brought to you by the author Sammy caramela R. Sammy caramela a.k.a Caramel Like that either way. I still hope I got your last name right cuz you know, it's me and I still hope I got it right still. Thank you for writing your article, and I really appreciate it So without further ado, let's get started. Let's go. So here we have the article over thinking your thoughts How to let go it was posted on October 25th, so you're hiking with your friend It's a beautiful crisp autumn day. The leaves are bright orange yellow and red You're standing on the ledge of a mountain that overlooks miles and miles in color and life You smile breathing in the cool air your eyes locked in the vast land ahead of you Your friend steps out on a large rock purged at the edge to snap a photo of the scenery Suddenly you think I could push her off the cliff right now. Whoa. What? It's a morbid thought and you know you don't actually mean it I mean you don't actually want to push your friend to her death, of course But the vivid image keeps me playing in your mind, and you can't help but wonder what's wrong with you Why would you think that way in the first place? The mind is a powerful strange confusing place We experience hundreds of fleeting thoughts per hour and while some people can simply brush off these innocent notions Others tend to dwell on them as a reflection of their own character, which is entirely daunting and counterproductive Here are some important steps to overcoming these instrucive thoughts Number one, accept it. Do not fight it. Do not beat yourself up over it Understand that you are not your thoughts. People struggle in this particular category They worry that every thought they think must be real According to Nancy Collier a psychotherapist and writer for psychology today We make a thought into a solid object by focusing on it and relating to it as if it is an event happening in the world Somewhere in other words, we give it power when really it is just an empty idea That is not even our own how freeing it is to know that if we do not attend to a thought Answer it change it identify with it and all the rest it literally ceases to exist If we let a thought be nothing then that's what it will be nothing Said Collier in why our thoughts are not real number two do not try to rationalize it Allow the thought to stay in your mind But do not feed it feeding it trying to make sense of it and allowing it to engulf your entire brain only gives it power Living with OCD I understand the nature of obsessive thinking after years of working through it when I went to therapy in the fifth grade My psychologist dr. Lisa Gallup advised me to avoid justifying my thought process by fighting myself I only dug a deeper hole repeat after me. She advised it's just my OCD again My brain is hiccuping again. Sometimes we think thoughts that have absolutely no correlation to us personally We cannot filter or control them the way we can with our words and actions It is important to recognize and distinguish which ideas are real and which are empty in order to let them go Fighting will only leave you tired and prone to more irrational thoughts Number three distract yourself By focusing your retention on other priorities You are allowing yourself room to move on despite the unsettled feeling you're experiencing from the thoughts I am in a better emotional state when I am at school or a job Which is why I tend to overwork myself at times if I am ever stuck in a loop I know not to stay in bed and dwell I know to get up and do productive tasks in order to keep my mind busy Erin Magaleta an OCD sufferer shares a similar outlook When you keep your mind busy on work or school or even listening to someone else's problems instead of focusing on your own It can really help with the missing your obsessive thinking if I'm focused on something besides what's bothering me It gets pushed to the back of my mind and the thought gets farther and farther away Sitting around thinking all day will only make the cycle stronger and attract even more negativity Don't let yourself fall victim of the thoughts.  Try it. Make a joke of the thought. Tell yourself how silly it really is Odds are someone else has moved over the exact same idea or has simply waved it off as senseless You know who you are and the fact that you even second-guess a thought means it is unlike you It is not you. Everyone experiences these types of thoughts. You are not alone. You are not your thoughts About the author, Semi-Keramella Or Keramella, I'm not sure. But yeah, hi, I'm Sammy a 20 year old girl living in Jersey I am a writer and a reader battling OCD and anxiety. I love the life I live and wouldn't change a thing. Feel free to reach out to me I love to chat. Be sure to check out more of her blogs on her profile page. The link will be in the description box below Thank you for reading personally coming from my experience of overthinking like I have had just moments of overthinking things I've had too much thought put into one thing. They say like what you think about it comes true But too much overthinking, you know, just it's like putting the stress on some kind of chain or something Hopefully I made sense to y'all and I said all that but if I could truly tell you anything It is you have to all the things that's presented in this topic. You got to be able to let it go Just laugh at it, you know distract yourself Still this topic is great for anybody that has this sort of problem and now it is time for my three questions Number one, are you an overthinker number two? I personally want to know how do you feel about overthinking like I mean personally? I want to know does it help you does it not help you like I want to know in three If you are an overthinker and you want to get rid of that for good And you feel like this or anything that you do could help you out Tell me what are the things that you could do to get rid of overthinking leave all of your answers in the comment Section below and I will definitely get right to them. Thank you all for watching today's video I really appreciate it if you guys like what you saw then please comment like subscribe do what you do best Also our informations in the description box below.

we will discuss about network analysis by backward pass. These are the learning outcomes. At the end of the session students will be able to appraise let us start and the let us finish it for the project. Then second outcome evaluate the float value for each activity. And third outcome students will be able to estimate the duration along with the critical path. These are the contents of this video lecture. Then adding the time dimensions already knew that there are the two methods. The first is the forward pass method and the second is the backward pass method. So in the forward pass we have to calculate with the help of forward pass you have to calculate the earliest dates. And with the help of backward pass you have to calculate the let us dates that is the let us start date and the let us finish date. We see the definitions. So let us finish is nothing but it is the let us state that the activity can finish without causing a delay to the project completion date. And let us start means let us date that the activity can start without causing a delay to the project completion date. These are the let us dates. So let us start is calculated with the help of this formula.  But if there are the two values of the let us start then you have to consider the minimum value from the immediate successor. Means if there are the two values 6 and 7 then you have to write down the six value for the let us finish date. This is the node with labeling convention. So this is activity level then this is duration and with the help of forward pass you have to calculate the earliest start and the earliest finish date. The next you have to calculate the let us start and the let us finish date with the help of backward pass. Then this is activity span and this is float. Now moving towards network analysis by backward pass you have to recall the procedure of the forward pass. Now pause the video for a minute and you have to recall procedure of the network analysis by forward pass. So already you have seen the example the project consists of the eight activities whose duration have been estimated okay. So first we see the stable. The stable is nothing but in this table these are the activities these are the activity descriptions. These are the duration then these are the precedents. Here a, b and f having no precedents they will start immediately. Already you knew that how to calculate the forward pass. This is the network after the forward pass. We see the network after the backward pass. So we see the calculation for backward pass. Here for the project completion we require the 13 weeks. So first write down the let us finish date. This is let us start date and this is let us finish date okay. So 13 is the maximum number for the completion of project. So you have to write down 13 as it is here okay. Then for h we have to calculate the let us start date. So how it is calculated let us start date. Let us finish minus duration we have to calculate the let us start. Means 13 minus 2 we get 11. Same here for the g activity it requires 3 weeks and 13 we are the let us finish date. So 13 minus 3 we get the 10 okay. Then c and d are the precedents of the h okay. So this 11 is write down as it is for the c and d. Then for c there is a 3 weeks is the duration okay. So for you have to calculate again let us start date for the c is what 11 minus 3 here we get 8. Then for d there is a 4 duration. Duration is 4 week. So 11 minus 4 here we get 7 okay. Then e and f are the precedents of the g activity. So let us start date of the activity g write down as it is for the activity e and f for the let us finish date. So 10 is written for the e and f as it is okay. Then c the let us start date of e how it is calculated again same 10 minus 3 we get 7. Here 10 minus 10 we get 0 okay. Then b, b is nothing but b is the precedent of c d and e activity. And here the let us start date of the d and e are same 7 here also 7. So write down 7 as it is. Then 7 minus 4 here we get 3. Then a is the precedent of activity c so we have to write down 8 as it is. And then 8 minus 6 we get the 2. So this is the let us start date of the activity a. So this is the net work after backward pass. Here we have to calculate the let us start date as well as let us finish date. Then we see the definitions of activity float and the delay span. So activity float is nothing but the difference between activity's earlier start date and its let us start date. So you have to take the difference between start dates or you have to take the difference between finished date. It is nothing but it is called the activity float. And the float means it is a major of how much you can delay in an individual project activity without delaying the overall project. So here we have to calculate the delay of independent activity each individual activity. So this is the formula let us start minus earlier start or let us finish minus earliest finish. In this way you have to calculate the float of that activity. Then activity span. Activity span is nothing but the difference between the earliest start date and the let us finish date. And it is a major of maximum time allowable for the activity. In this way you have to calculate the maximum time is required for that activity with the help of activity span. It is nothing but difference between let us finish and earliest start. And the free float is nothing but difference between the earliest completion date for the activity and the earliest start date of the succeeding activity. Then calculation of span and float. Here we have to calculate the span activity span and the float. So activate these are the earliest start date, earliest finish date. This is let us start date, let us finish date. So first we see the activity span.  So 8 minus 0 here we get 8 and float is calculated with the help of you can take the difference between finished date or you can take the difference between start date. Both are same. So 8 minus 6 we get 2. Right? Here 7 minus 0 we get 7 and the 7 minus 4 we get 3. Again for this 10 minus 0 we get 10. Then 10 minus 10 here we get 0. For this 11 minus 6 5 then 11 minus 2 9 2. Then 11 minus 4 7 and the 11 minus 8 3. Then again 10 minus 4 here we get 6 and the 10 minus 7 here we getting 3. Then next for G 13 minus 10 here we are getting 3. Then 13 minus 13 we get 0. Here again 13 minus 9 is nothing but here we obtain 4 and the 13 minus 11 or 11 minus 9 we get 2. Okay? So in this way you have to calculate the activity span and float of the activity. Then identify the critical path. Critical path this is the largest path. At least one path through the network that defines the duration of the project. So here in this way you have to calculate the maximum duration of the project and it is shown with the help of bold line. And the project's duration is nothing but the sum of the activity durations in critical path and a delay to any critical activity will result in a delay to project completion date. So how to identify the critical path? If the float of activity is 0 and the two start dates and the two finish dates are the same then it is known as the critical path. So it is using identifying the task involved then time estimate of every activity, time taken to complete the whole project. In these points you have to use the CPM. So this is nothing but critical path method. It is shown in a red line bold line. Okay? Here we can see that finish date and the start dates are same. Here 0, 0 and this is also 10, 10. Here also start dates both start dates and the both finish dates are same and we get the float is 0 here also here also. So this is nothing but it is a critical path. One more any activities in the critical path are all the critical activities. If we delay in any activity then will occur the delay to the whole project. So in this way you have to identify the critical path method. Critical path. As the name implies this calculation step started at the last activity in the schedule. Here it starts from the backward pass and until the latest start value is computed for the schedule's beginning activity. Means we we can start from the latest finish date and end with the latest start date. These are the references. Thank you.


We definitely should not be worried about inflation. That is a bogeyman that's being used by conservatives and corporations who don't want the government to spend money, who are worried about their taxes possibly going up. Don't worry about inflation. You have a lot of things to worry about. You can worry about climate change, that jobs are not paying enough. You can worry about the fact that corporations are raking in more and more profits. Billionaires are doing better than ever. We'll be in the space! Let's be realistic here. There are a lot of problems we have, but inflation is not among them. Inflation is a general increase in prices. The real danger is that if prices start going up, everything costs more. People get poorer. They've got to get wage increases in order to keep up with price increases. In the worst of all worlds, those wage increases generate even more price increases, and you get into kind of expectations of further price increases. So the whole thing perpetuates itself into a kind of crisis. And we've seen that. In the United States in the 1970s, we had double digit inflation. We're hearing about inflation again because the government is spending a lot of money and interest rates are very low. The inflation that we are now experiencing has nothing to do with the old, serious, dangerous price inflation. In terms of getting us out of the current recession, getting the economy back on track, getting more people employed, much of the inflation in terms of things like lumber or semiconductors, all of this has to do with supply bottlenecks. When you go into a pandemic recession, everything shuts down. So to start getting things going again takes time. Supply has to catch up with demand. Until it does, they're going to be fluctuations in prices and some prices are going to stay very high. Oil prices, gas prices are subject to some of that same force. The reason oil prices are going up is because supply is not quite there. OPEC, the organization of petroleum exporting countries, they haven't got their act together. In the United States, we have some supply bottlenecks. But these are not permanent problems. These are just startup problems. There's a huge amount of underutilized capacity in the country. We're still down 7 million jobs from what we were in January 2020. It's very easy for companies to go abroad to extend their capacity to outsource. And that's what they've been doing. So there are almost no inflationary threats and labor unions are very small as a proportion of the workforce these days. So you don't even have wage price inflation pressures growing. You have a lot of things to worry about, but inflation is not among them.


This article first appeared in the Libertarian Forum, January 1st, 1970. Now that the New Left has abandoned its earlier loose, flexible, non-ideological stance, two ideologies have been adopted as guiding theoretical positions by New Leftists – Marxism-Stalinism and anarcho-communism. Marxism-Stalinism has unfortunately conquered SDS, the students for a democratic society, but anarcho-communism has attracted many leftists who are looking for a way out of the bureaucratic and statist tyranny that has marked the Stalinist road. And many Libertarians, who are looking for forms of action and for allies in such actions, have become attracted by an anarchist creed which seemingly exalts the voluntary way and calls for the abolition of the coercive state. It is fatal, however, to abandon and lose sight of one's own principles in the quest for allies in specific tactical actions. Anarcho-communism, both in its original Bakunin-Kropotkin form and its current irrationalist and post-scarcity variety, is polls apart from genuine Libertarian principle. If there is one thing, for example, that anarcho-communism hates and reviles more than the state, it is the rights of private property. As a matter of fact, the major reason that anarcho-communists oppose the state is because they wrongly believe that it is the creator and protector of private property, and therefore that the only route toward abolition of property is by destruction of the state apparatus. They totally fail to realise that the state has always been the great enemy and invader of the rights of private property. Furthermore, scorning and detesting the free market, the profit and loss economy, private property and material affluence, all of which are corollaries of each other, anarcho-communists wrongly identify anarchism with communal living, with tribal sharing, and with other aspects of our emerging drug-rock youth culture. The only good thing that one might say about anarcho-communism is that, in contrast to Stalinism, its form of communism would supposedly be voluntary. Presumably, no one would be forced to join the communes, and those who would continue to live individually and to engage in market activities would remain unmolested. Or would they? Anarcho-communists have always been extremely vague and cloudy about the lineaments of their proposed anarchist society of the future. Many of them have been propounding the profoundly anti-libertarian doctrine that the anarcho-communist revolution will have to confiscate and abolish all private property, so as to wean everyone from their psychological attachment to the property they own. Furthermore, it is hard to forget the fact that when the Spanish anarchists, anarcho-communists of the Bacunin-Kropotkin type, took over large sections of Spain during the Civil War of the 1930s, they confiscated and destroyed all the money in their areas, and promptly decreed the death penalty for the use of money. None of this can give one confidence in the good, volunteerist intentions of anarcho-communism. On all other grounds, anarcho-communism ranges from mischievous to absurd. Philosophically, this creed is an all-out assault on individuality and on reason. The individual's desire for private property is drive to better himself, to specialize, to accumulate profits and income, are reviled by all branches of communism. Instead everyone is supposed to live in communes, sharing all his meager possessions with his fellows, and each being careful not to advance beyond his communal brothers. At the root of all forms of communism, compulsory or voluntary, lies a profound hatred of individual excellence, a denial of the natural or intellectual superiority of some men over others, and the desire to tear down every individual to the level of a communal anteep. In the name of a phony humanism, an irrational and profoundly anti-human egalitarianism is to rob every individual of his specific and precious humanity. Furthermore, anarcho-communism scorns reason, and its corollaries long-range purpose, forethought, hard work and individual achievement. Instead it exalts irrational feelings, whim and caprice, all this in the name of freedom. The freedom of the anarcho-communist has nothing to do with the genuine libertarian absence of interpersonal invasion or molestation. It is instead a freedom that means enslavement, to unreason, to unexamined whim, and to childish caprice. Socially and philosophically, anarcho-communism is a misfortune. Economically, anarcho-communism is an absurdity. The anarcho-communist seeks to abolish money, prices and employment, and proposes to conduct a modern economy purely by the automatic registry of needs in some central data bank. No one who has the slightest understanding of economics can trifle with this theory for a single second. Fifty years ago Ludwig von Mises exposed the total inability of a planned, moneyless economy to operate above the most primitive level, for he showed that money prices are indispensable for the rational allocation of all our scarce resources, land, labour and capital goods, to the fields and areas where they are most desired by the consumers and where they could operate with greatest efficiency. The socialists conceded the correctness of Mises' challenge and set about, in vain, to find a way to have a rational market price system within the context of a socialist planned economy. The Russians, after trying an approach to the communist moneyless economy in their war communism, shortly after the Bolshevik Revolution, reacted in horror as they saw the Russian economy heading to disaster. Even Stalin never tried to revive it, and since World War II the East European countries have seen a total abandonment of this communist ideal and a rapid move toward free markets, a free price system, profit and loss tests and a promotion of consumer affluence. It is no accident that it was precisely the economists in the communist countries who led the rush away from communism, socialism and central planning and toward free markets. It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is after all a specialised discipline and one that most people consider to be a dismal science, but it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance. Yet this sort of aggressive ignorance is inherent in the creed of anarcho-communism. The same comment can be made on the widespread belief held by many new leftists and by all anarcho-communists that there is no longer need to worry about economics or production, because we are supposedly living in a post-scarcity world where such problems do not arise. But while our condition of scarcity is clearly superior to that of the caveman, we are still living in a world of pervasive economic scarcity. How will we know when the world has achieved post-scarcity? Simply when all the goods and services that we may want have become so super-abundant that their prices have fallen to zero. In short, when we can acquire all goods and services as in a garden of Eden, without effort, without work, without using any scarce resources. The anti-rational spirit of anarcho-communism was expressed by Norman O. Brown, one of the gurus of the new counter-culture. Quote, The great economist von Mises tried to refute socialism by demonstrating that, in abolishing exchange, socialism made economic calculation, and hence economic rationality, impossible. But if von Mises is right, then what he discovered is not a refutation, but a psychoanalytical justification of socialism. It is one of the sad ironies of contemporary intellectual life that the reply of socialist economists to von Mises's arguments was to attempt to show that socialism was not incompatible with rational economic calculation. That is to say that it could retain the inhuman principle of economising. End quote. The fact that the abandonment of rationality and economics in behalf of freedom and whim will lead to the scrapping of modern production and civilization and return us to barbarism does not phase our anarcho-communists and other exponents of the new counter-culture. But what they do not seem to realise is that the result of this return to primitivism would be starvation and death for nearly all of mankind, and a grinding subsistence for the ones remaining. If they have their way, they will find that it is difficult indeed to be jolly and unrepressed while starving to death. All this brings us back to the wisdom of the great Spanish philosopher, Ortega Igasset. Quote. In the disturbances caused by scarcity of food, the mob goes in search of bread, and the means it employs is generally to wreck the bakeries. This may serve as a symbol of the attitude adopted on a greater and more complicated scale by the masses of today towards the civilization by which they are supported. Civilisation is not just here. It is not self-supporting. It is artificial. If you want to make use of the advantages of civilization but are not prepared to concern yourself with the upholding of civilization, you are done. In a trice, you find yourself left without civilization. Just a slip, and when you look, everything has vanished into air. The primitive forest appears in its native state just as if curtains covering pure nature had been drawn back. The jungle is always primitive, and vice versa, everything primitive is mere jungle. End quote.


How many times have you given up on yourself in your life? Imagine if you didn't give up where you would be. Now, imagine where you could be if you started today. Today, we're going to be talking about the law of 100. And I'm going to explain to you what that means. I'm going to talk to you about a secret to success. And it is extremely simple, but it is also for most people very difficult to do. It's not really hard to do. We just make it way more difficult than it needs to be. But even though it's super simple, it is extremely, extremely important for the success that you're trying to build for yourself, for your family, for the world, the impact that you want to do. And I'm going to teach you a little bit of how Jerry Seinfeld, the comedian, actually used this technique to be one of the greatest comedians and the wealthiest comedian that has ever lived by using this thing called the law of 100. So I called the law of 100. I don't know if there's another name for it. I just made it up as a law of 100. And it's very simple. The first thing that you need to do is you need to decide what it is that you need to do.  Okay. We'll decide the one most important thing that you need to do to lose weight. Maybe it's workout. Maybe it is eat healthier. Maybe it is stop drinking alcohol. Maybe it is stop drinking soda. Stop your intake of sugar. Find out the, you know, figure out what it is that you want to do. And then figure out what the very most important thing that you need to do in order to get there. Don't figure out the three, four or five things and try to be an overachiever. Figure out the one thing, one thing and one thing only that you need to do to get yourself there. So that's step number one. You know, in the way that I think about it is this, it could be an action in your business. It could be an action in your relationships. It could be an action that you need to take in your weight loss in your gaining muscle. It could be one action that you need. That's all it is. It's just one action that you need to do. And you're going to do that thing for 100 days in a row. So it's very simple. It's two steps. So I'm going to break it down to you where you go much more in depth, why this works, how to make it easier. But it's literally two steps. Okay. Number one, decide what that action is. That's it. What is that action? So think about it right now. What is it that you want to achieve in your life? And what is one action that you can do to help you get there? If you're saying, Hey, you know what? I want to make a hundred thousand dollars this year. And in order to do that, I know I need to make a hundred phone calls a day. That's just what I need to do. Looking at my numbers, looking at my closing ratio, looking at the amount of people who pick up when I call, all of that. All I need to do is make a hundred phone calls every single day. So that is the action that's going to get us closest to the desired result that we want. So step number one is to decide what that action is. And step number two is to do it every single day for 100 days. So you might be out there and saying, Oh my gosh, but I don't know. If I found a loose weight and I need to go to the gym, is it okay for me to work out a hundred days in a row?  Change what your workout is. Do cardio one day, do weightlifting one day, do yoga one day, whatever it is that you need to do, you can do hot yoga, whatever it is you need to do, do some form of working out for 100 days straight. So step number one, decide what the action is. Step number two, do it every single day for 100 days.  All of those things, the excuses and self-limiting beliefs are still going to come up, but when you have made a commitment and your word is worth everything, so if you make a commitment and you don't follow through on it, that is your fault. That is your giving up on something.    And let me tell you a few reasons why this is important for you. First thing is this, successful people, whatever success means to you, the thing that I've come to realize about success is it's not really that hard. We make it much more harder than it needs to be.  Successful people are just consistent. That's it. They're just consistent and we could take success in any way. If you could look at somebody who's wealthy, if that's what success means to you, they worked really hard consistently and they just didn't give up. Simple. Do they have struggles and challenges coming up along the way? Absolutely. But they worked really hard consistently and they became wealthy. Now, you might look at somebody and say, okay, well my definition of success is somebody who is extremely calm and centered and is an amazing person, right? That might be your definition of success. Okay. Well, there's a pretty good chance that person has meditated every single day or developed something that they need to and done it every single day so that therefore they can be more calm. They can be more centered. So if success to you is joy and peace and happiness and all of that stuff, you can 100% create those things, but you have to realize that you need to be consistent with whatever that is. You might say, well, success to me right now and what I'm trying to work on for this year and the upcoming year and whatever it is the next six months is being in incredible shape. Okay. Well, a quote unquote successful person and someone that's in incredible shape, they worked out. They stayed consistent with their workout plan. They stayed consistent with their dieting. They stayed consistent with their water intake. They stayed consistent with not having so much sugar, having less alcohol. They stayed consistent. The number one thing that I see amongst successful people is they're not the smartest people in the world. They don't come from money all of the time. In fact, just in case you guys want to know, in the United States out of all of the millionaires that exist in the United States, only 20% of them come from money, which means 80% of them don't come from anything. And so you can't say, oh, yeah, but they came from money and I didn't have any money. My family was broke. You have to realize it's just about being consistent. It's showing up and it's working towards the thing that you need to get. It's just the consistent daily action. Success comes from consistency. Let me say that again. Let me get it into your brain. Success comes from consistency.  That's going to make you a better parent. Maybe that's what success means to you. So you have to figure out what the success is that you want. You have to figure out the number one action needs to be taken and you need to do it every single day. This is it. Step number one, decide what the action is. Step number two, do it every single day for 100 days. Success comes from consistency. You don't fail until you give up. That's it. Failure comes from giving up. And so you've got to think about that. But let me explain to you why this is important in your brains or so you have an idea.  And I'll explain to you what this means.  I have 35 years of habits and things that I've done over the years. I have neural pathways in my brain that are strong, that I've done over and over and over and over again. Those habits I've done over and over again. A habit is just something that my brain has turned on to autopilot so that it makes it easier for me to consistently do over and over and over again. So we have habits that are good. We also have habits that are bad and we want to get rid of those habits.  And it usually takes anywhere between 21 to 100 days to rewire a habit or to wire a habit into your brain.    Creating a new habit and doing this every single day for 100 days is literally the idea of walking into the forest with a machete and then just hacking a brand new pathway, hacking a brand new place inside of this, inside of your brain. So whether that's the working out habit, whether that's the spending time with your children habit, whether it's the meditation habit, whatever it is, you're literally taking a machete and hacking that new thing into your brain. That's what we're trying to do here. That's how we turn it into a habit. Now, how did Seinfeld use this? Well, Seinfeld's actually famous for doing something that they've now coined the Seinfeld calendar. And what he would do is what he realized when he was a new comedian, he needed to work at his craft every single day.   And he had a calendar that was up on the wall and it was one of the calendars and every single day was on it. And he had a red pen that was attached to that calendar and he would, you know, it was just dangling from it. And when he would finish his jokes that he had written for the day, he would walk up to that calendar and he would build a big red X on the day, which means that he completed his task for the day. And so how can you use this to your advantage? The thing that he said is that once he started and he could consistently see a bunch of red X's, he didn't want to break the cycle. He literally drove him to go up and do more jokes and more jokes because he was able to see all of the red X's. And he's like, well, I don't want today to be the day that I break it. And so he continued to keep it going. And so one thing you could do is you could say, hey, I want to do this for a hundred days straight. Let me mark off my calendar. Here's day one, okay, today. Here's 100 days from today. And my goal, my commitment is that I'm going to put a red X every single day for doing this thing that I'm going to be doing for the next 100 days. That's it. He ended up doing this and he did it for thousands of days. It was like years and years and years that he went writing jokes, writing jokes and writing jokes. So when you look at him, you're like, well, he's one of the most successful comedians ever. He's also the wealthiest comedian ever. Maybe it's because of fact that he was so freaking consistent when he was trying to master his craft that he became better than everyone else because of the fact that he was so, so consistent. Success is not hard. Success is so simple. We just make it hard. It's just wake up and do the right things every single day. Wake up, do the right things every single day and do it consistently and then just don't give up. And eventually you're going to succeed at whatever it is that you want. Like I said, the most successful people that I know, they're not the smartest people. They don't know everything in the world. They're not the most well-read people. They are just really damn consistent at doing the right things every single day. And so it comes down to your hard work and your dedication more than anything else. You know, if you were to look at it and you were to say, all right, I'm going to do this for 100 days. Imagine what would happen if you did this for the next year. Imagine what would happen if you do it for 100 days and then doing it for 100 days motivates you to keep going and you go for an entire year. Imagine where you could be a year from today if you took that action every day for the next 365 days. Your life could be completely different. Now, what if you fast forwarded three years? Where could your life be? If you said, you know what? Success in my business is the thing that I'm working at more than anything else. I'm going to put 100 days into working hard in my business doing XYZ because that's what's going to get my business the furthest. And then you did that every single day for 100 days and then a year and then three years. Imagine where your life could be. If you fast forwarded three years from today, knowing that you did that thing every single day.   Guaranteed, absolutely. Would you go for it if you are 100% guaranteed to succeed? I'm like, hey, just do it every single day for three years and I'll give you $5 million in cash. Would you do it? Is the answer yes or no? Insert out loud to yourself. It's probably yes, right? I'll give you $5 million to do this thing every single day for the next three years. You're guaranteed success. Now, you have to think about this. I can't guarantee that whatever that thing is that you want, you're going to have in three years. But I can guarantee you if you don't stop, you will eventually get that thing that you want. So if acquiring $5 million was the thing that you wanted, I can't guarantee you that if you take the right action, you're going to get it literally in three years. But if you're taking the right action to make that money, you will eventually make the $5 million. It could be less than three years. It could be more than three years. But success is pretty much guaranteed when you take the right action. Success is pretty much guaranteed when you take the right action. If you're not taking the right action, it's going to be a lot harder. And just don't stop. Where could you be in your life if you didn't give up years ago on that thing that was really important to you? How many of you listening right now have given up on something that was really important to you four years ago, that side business that you wanted. And it wasn't bringing in as much money as you wanted to, so you shut it down. Where could you be if you just never shut it down? How different could your life be if you did not shut that business down four years ago and you have continued to struggle and mess things up and figure it out and get a little bit better and struggle and mess things up and figure it out and get a little bit better? Where could you be now if you didn't give up four years ago? If you didn't give up seven years ago? If you didn't give up 17 years ago, where could your life be right now? A completely different place. I don't say that because I want to bring you down. I say it because I want to put your life in a perspective. You now know that if you hadn't given up, your life would be in a completely different place. Well, now let's take the knowledge that we have from the past, let's bring it into our present and then use it for our future. Why don't I decide what it is that I want? And then just decide that I'm not going to give up. I'm going to go for 100 days. And then hopefully at the end of those 100 days, I'm motivated to keep going. And I'm going to create a new habit in my brain. Think about where your life could be. It could be a completely different place than it currently is. Sometimes we have a little bit of a struggle, building a business, whatever it is we're trying to do. And we're like, you know what, maybe this isn't for me. Maybe it's just the universe saying, hey, Rob, this isn't the right thing. Try something else. When in reality, that's just our ego.  Hey, give up, stay where you are. Hey, you don't need to go and be a success. You're probably not good enough or smart enough for any of those things. And what happens is we talk yourself out of a thing that's going to be the most fulfilling for us. Imagine if you didn't give up where you would be. Now, imagine where you could be if you started today. Imagine where you could be if you started today and you said, I'm just going to give up. How many times have you given up on yourself in your life? One, two, five, 10, 20 times maybe? What if you just decided I'm going to go full force of this thing for the next three years? And if it doesn't work after three years, then I can give it up. But I have no other options. There is no reason to have a plan B because it distracts from plan A, as Will Smith says. But I'm going to succeed at this thing no matter what. I'm going to give myself three years, not 45 days, not two months of running a business, not six months of running a business. I'm going to go for the next three years. I'm dedicated my life to three years in building this business. Where could your life be in three years? If you had that sort of mindset, if you didn't give yourself a back door, a way to get out. If you said one of my favorite lines from the great philosopher, a guy named Marshall Mathers M&M, success is my only mother option, failure is not. What if you had that thought in your head that success is your only option for this? Failure is not because you only fail when you give up. So if you just don't give up, you'll eventually figure it out. You'll acquire the skills, the knowledge, the tool belt to do what needs to be done to succeed at whatever it is. So what if you had that mindset? The way that you started is by dedicating the next 100 days. The law of 100. I'm going to stick to this thing. I know what my desired outcome is. Step number one, figure out the action is, step number two, don't give up. Just go for the next 100 days. If you want to start a brand new life, figure out that action is, decide today that this is the first day of the rest of your life and do not stop for the next 100 days. If it makes you feel better and it makes you more excited, get a calendar, put a red X on it and make sure that you stay consistent for the next 100 days. See how much different your life is 100 days from today and then see how much different your life is a year from today and your life will not be the same. It will be measurably different three years from today than it is right now. Just don't give up on yourself. Hey, thanks so much for watching this video.

I started learning the piano when I was seven years old, and that is considered a late starter. I was 12 when I started to actually pursue the piano as a career. What inspired me to become more serious would probably be the first Leflesenko performance that I went to. That's when I was like, I want to do that. I want to be able to perform on the stage with the orchestra one day. Musicality comes mainly from my heart, but my main goal is to be able to become a concert pianist. It's a big goal for all those who learn piano, and it's not easy. It will never be easy, but I'm shooting for the world stage, like the Carnegie Hall, the Royal Albert Hall, performing with the Berlin Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra. That feeling of performing on stage with an orchestra is amazing. The Emily Reinhardt Scholarship is a very big and generous scholarship that the Conservatorium as well as myself have received. It's very generous of Emily to support musicians in pursuing their studies at the Queensland Conservatorium, and I'm very grateful for the scholarship. It's inspiring to know the alumni histories such as Piers Lane and Jason Gillum, and it's wonderful to have that connection that you studied classical piano at the Queensland Conservatorium just like Piers Lane and Jason Gillum.

Today we have a three pack of stories coming in, really fresh right off the press. You guys all know we had that Super Mario Bros. one or direct earlier today, and ooh, so exciting. I could go into a giant summary on that, but actually I wanna focus on the new information we have gotten out since. There's been updates to the Japanese website. Oh, and yes, preview coverage has been dropping all day. It's like I told you guys, previews were coming today. So we're gonna go over some of the new information we learned out of that. Hey, we also have a couple new game announcements. Well, actually, one of them was not really an announcement. It was just confirmed by a ratings board. The other one was an actual announcement. Both of them come into Switch. Super exciting stuff. And then we're gonna end today by me just giving you my thoughts on Mario Wonder as it stands today. That being said, folks, what are we waiting for? Drop a like, subscribe to the channel, and ring a ling, that ding a ling so you're notified of every video. Cause you know what, here's the bottom line. We're trying to get to 150,000 subscribers this year. With your help, we just might do it. All right, folks, without further ado, let's get into today's news. So we're gonna start by diving right into the Mario Wonder stuff, cause there's so much of it. Don't be surprised if over half of today's episode is all about Mario Wonder, cause that just is what it is. It looks like a wonderful experience. All right, folks, let's get into the previews and the new information that we've gleaned from those previews, including online co-op. And I'm not talking about the online Nintendo showed off. What? Yeah, let's get into it. So there are two badge types, including action and boost. The action ones were shown off in the direct and give you those extra abilities, but the boost ones weren't shown off as much, although one of them was. They are passive abilities, the boost badges, like additional coins, starting the stage with the super motion power up, et cetera. Now, I didn't say during the direct, they did show off one, and that one was the boost badge that let you have a sensor to find like alerts, you know, alert you of special passages and secrets in the levels. But yeah, those are like passive abilities rather than ones you can just activate and use whenever you want. Now, let's get into some stage information because, hey, that is some stuff we can glean. One of the stages, Scram skedadlers, offers a new enemy type called skedadlers, and they run away as soon as they see you. You have to chase them down to grab whatever they have.  The enemies are apparently bulls, guys, not sheep and other stuff like you guys were trying to convince me. My initial instinct was correct on that one. I'm pretty excited there. You can trick them to run into barriers to open secret pathways. The stage also happens to have multiple endings and exits. If you have the bull rush, take out the flagpole at the end, and the stage just keeps going until you reach an alternate exit that gives you an additional wonder seed. This stage, therefore, due to the multiple exit points, actually has three seeds, not two. One of the online multiplayer modes does involve badge challenges. One of those is a wall climb challenge, and it's a vertical stage where you need to reach the top before the other players. Local co-op does get rid of a lot of the chaos of prior entries. You cannot interact with each other outside of riding Yoshi and hitting the ghost to bring people back, also obviously sharing items. No picking people up, running into each other, bouncing off each other, et cetera. Also, in local co-op, every player has the same badge activated. Now let's get into some more stage descriptions. Jewel block cave is a dark cavern with breakable jewels that house secrets. This stage uses the drill mushroom a lot. At one point, the ceiling comes crashing down, and you have to break through the gems to escape. Maw, maw, mothful is where the bubbler flower comes into play.  It is a stealth section in what is normally a fast paced Mario experience. Blooms of the desert skies is another stage where you deal with a ton of blooms and then your wonder seed turns you into a balloon. It's apparently a really crazy segment according to multiple previews. According to the completionists, yes, a fellow YouTuber, and we gotta be careful with this one a little bit. He was told, so he was told by people at Nintendo that two players on one console can connect to two players on another console online just like couch co-op. Note, he is actually the only person to say this, and so I am wondering if he maybe misheard what he was told since nobody else brought it up, but hey, it's out there. So if that's a mode in the game that didn't show off, that could be something that we're getting in addition to that. Now, there are three purple coins available to collect in each level, so you get those collectible action going on. To get a wonder seed at the end of the level, you do have to hit the top of the flagpole on your jump, but if you're playing in co-op, only one of the four players or four possible players needs to hit the top, unlike some prior entries where if you needed the big collectible at the end, you know, everyone would have to hit the top of the flagpole. Now, beyond all of that, it seems that the general consensus is that this game is very good. Now, throughout all of that, I was trying to show you guys some new footage I was able to gather from some of the previews, linked to every preview down below that we've used to reference here. If you wanna go check them out, especially for the footage, because there's a lot of footage out there today, we'll keep you updated if there's any other crazy footage that comes out in the future, but today, all the previews are basically showing you the exact same stages. So if other stuff leaks out in the future, we'll definitely be on top of it, but as of today, there's so much that the best I could do is link you to everything or we'll just be here all day for hours on end watching preview footage. Our next story is a shorter one, but definitely one that's important because it involves a new game coming to Switch. We're talking about Beyond Good and Evil Anniversary Edition. Apparently it has been rated by the ESRB and is coming to Nintendo Switch and we don't know when it's going to come because the game hasn't even been announced. Now, if it's rated by the ESRB, it sometimes is safe to assume it'll come later this year, it could be a surprise drop in the Nintendo Direct coming next month. I don't know. What I do know is that it is coming and I hope that with this game coming out, and by the way, it's coming to all platforms, not just Switch, that this signifies that Beyond Good and Evil 2 is going to actually come out at some point because that's the game I know I'm waiting for even though I don't expect it on a Nintendo platform or maybe I should on Nintendo's next generation Nintendo platform because Ubisoft and Ubisoft likes working with Nintendo but then they don't bring Assassin's Creed but maybe that's going to change although we do have some of the Assassin's Creed games on Switch but they're not the new ones. This is a big, deep rabbit hole. We can keep going down it. We're talking about hypothetical hardware. All right, it's time to move on. Our last story actually is something that was officially announced and that is the Borderland 3 Ultimate Edition. Yeah, that's right, folks. It's coming to Nintendo Switch on October 6th for $59.99. Woo! Okay, that's a little expensive. Well, what are you gonna get if you decide to buy this Ultimate Edition of Borderlands 3? Well, you are gonna get all of the online modes so nothing cut from the game. It does include the base game and then it also comes with all these additional content editions that release for it over time such as the Moxies Heist of the Handsome, Jackpot, Gun, Love, and Tentacles, The Married of Wainwright and Hammerlock, Bounty of Blood, Psycho-Creak, and the Fantastic Foster Clock, Designers Cut, Directors Cut, and 30 Cosmetic Items. Now, beyond that, they're also launching a brand new podcast series for the game called Echoes from the Borderlands. New episodes go up every Thursday at 5 a.m. Pacific after the game launches. It will be on podcast platforms and Gearbox's official YouTube channel. All right, guys, with all of that out of the way, let's get into some of my thoughts today on that Mario Direct, because you're not really gonna hear me talk about this probably until next week at some point because I got some plans. So, here's what I am thinking about Mario Wonder right now. Holy moly, it looks wonderful! Delightful, stupendous, fantastic! The previews only may be more hyped. I know some nice previews, you know, you can get some information you don't want, maybe you got plenty from the Direct so you skip that entire segment of my video. So, in this portion, I'm not gonna dive into the spoilers that you might get out of the previews, but what I will say is this is the 2D side-scrolling Mario game that I have been waiting for. I am more excited for this than I have been excited for a side-scrolling Mario game since the release of Super Mario World, which, by the way, is my favorite side-scrolling Mario game, Go Figure. And, hey, one of the features from Super Mario World is coming back in that you could do item swapping. Of course, it's a little more convenient in how it handles in Wonder because you could, you know, in a world that will drop from the sky, you might not get it. This, it's a lot more convenient, but whatever, the times have advanced forward and we are getting what I feel is gonna end up being the definitive side-scrolling Mario experience, although there's gonna be a lot of nostalgia and love, as always, especially for things like Super Mario Bros. 3 and Mario World.  And I do think that Super Mario Bros. Wonder has an opportunity to join their elite ranks. So that is my general thoughts on that. That being said, I hope today's audio was even better, and if it's not, then I don't know what I'm doing. Well, to be honest, I never really know what I'm doing. All right, guys, I'll catch you in the next video.
