All right, welcome back today in this video. We're going to talk about solving a quadratic equation by completing the square Now I do have a I do have a excuse me I got a little little something in my throat here if you have if you don't know what completing the square is I do have a previous video that I did about completing the square Please go watch that first or have a good understanding of how to complete the square before you watch this or else You're going to be pretty lost on what we're doing here Okay, so solving a quadratic equation by completing the square here We go the first thing you want to do is you want to set everything up Okay, now this isn't this isn't a normal quadratic equation This isn't a normal way to solve it what you need to do is basically what's why I tell students Take your x's and put them on one side of your equal sign take your numbers and put them on the other side So here's my equal sign put the numbers over here equal sign Equal sign put the variables over here equal sign put the numbers over here And then also when you're setting this up add some blank spots those blank spots are going to be used for when we actually Complete the square, okay, and I'll explain why we have two of them here in just a minute Okay, now this over here when if you watch my previous video this right here should be should be familiar We have this x squared minus 12x plus some number We need to figure out what this number is so we can factor here in just a moment Okay, so that number how do we find it? We take b divided by 2 and we square it Okay, so in this case our b number is negative 12 negative 12 divided by 2 and then square it negative 12 divided by 2 is negative 6 Negative 6 squared is going to be a 36 So I have a 36 that I got to add to this left side over here now Going way back to the your previous days of pre-algebra on that kind of stuff when you first learn how to solve equations Whatever you do to one side of your equation You must also do to the other so if I got to add 36 to one side here I also got to add 36 to the other side got to keep the equation balanced must keep the equation balanced All right, so now what I can do is actually on this right side negative 20 and a positive 36 That just gives me 16 that actually simplifies really nicely on this other side here This is where I'm going to factor. This is where I'm going to do my parentheses I got x's in the beginning bubbles here numbers that multiply to 36 Positive 36 and then add a negative 12 our negative 6 and negative 6 and again If you do you're completing the square process, right? If you do this b divided by 2 squared if you do that, right and you do your factoring, right? You're always get the same parentheses and that's kind of the idea with Completing the square is you're always going to get the same parentheses it makes the factoring so easy here We go now after this condense this down To the same parentheses condense that to just a single parentheses squared So this is x minus 6 quantity squared Equals 16. Okay. Now if I want to solve for x. I'm solving this equation solving for x I still need to get x by itself, right? So I need to get rid of this squared and rid of this negative 6 so to get rid of squaring I need to square root okay squaring and square rooting are opposite operations They cancel each other out, but if I square root one side, I must also square root the other side now Here's the here's the trick though this little symbol if you if you Introduce the square root symbol to the equation that means that you need to also think about the positive square root and the negative square root that you could get from square rooting a number because a Positive 4 times 4 gets you back to 16 But a negative 4 and a negative 4 also multiply back to get you 16 So that's that that's kind of a short version of why a Short easy version of understanding why we have to do this little positive negative symbol here, okay? These cancel I'm left with x minus 6 there on the left side Okay, now to continue to solve take the 6 add it over to the other side x equals 6 plus or minus 4 x Plus or minus 4 okay now what this does is this get this is actually going to give us two answers Okay, I have two operations here. I have a plus and a minus so this is going to be 6 plus 4 and 6 minus 4 x equals 6 plus 4 is 10 and Then 6 minus 4 is going to be 2 I have two solutions to this equation You're gonna get that most of the time not all the time, but most of the time you're gonna get two solutions to any quadratic equation now if you think about it just a little bit a Quadratic equation looks like this you've heard to graph it looks like a parabola Okay, it looks like a parabola this parabola would look something like this Two here ten here My parabola would look something like this Will you ship there with a two here and a ten here? Okay, that gives you kind of an idea of when you solve a quadratic equation That if you were to graph it, this is kind of what it would look like Okay, so I kind gives you an idea of why we solve it and all that kind of stuff what we can find from it Now if this graph doesn't convince you of your answer You can also take these numbers and just plug them back up into your original answer your original problem And it will give you the answer I mean ten squared is is a hundred and then twelve times ten is 120 120 minus 20 is gonna give you hundreds You got a hundred on the left hundred on the right when you do two you get the same thing You I think you get four on the left and four on the right But anyway now I'm gonna go over to this next example over here. I'm gonna change my colors just a little bit So we don't get confused Mix up the colorings here. Okay, this this equation a little bit more complicated It looks a little bit more complicated But it just basically what it means is you just have a couple of steps You got to do before you start completing the square notice here everything's out of order this thing is a mess Everything has out of order. Okay, you're x squared. They're supposed to go first. This needs to be in front Three x squared plus 18 x equals 45. That's what it's supposed to look like Okay, and get your get your x's on one side your numbers on the other Okay, now what I'm gonna do though is and notice over here we need to have a one in front of x squared So this three that's gonna cause some troubles for us We cannot complete the square with a number other than one in front of there So that three has got to go but that basically means is though I just need to divide everything by three if you divide by three it'll make a one here But if you divide one of your terms for your equation by three you gotta divide everything by three But notice that well everything is divisible by three so it's kind of set up that way Now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna do a couple of things here. That's not 18 Supposed to be six six x I want to divide all the numbers But then I'm also gonna leave spaces for what I'm gonna complete my square Okay, so there we go Three divide by three is one 18 divided by three is six and 45 divide by three is 15 So there we go. So now what I'm going to do is complete my square Okay, I'm going to find the number that I need that goes in this spot So I take my I take that B number which in this case is six if you can read that six Is my B number divide by two and squared so six divide by two is three Three squared is nine. So nine is the number that I'm going to add to both sides. Okay now on this right side You can simply just add this together which gives you a 24 now if you're foreshadowing a little bit over here We had 16 which reduced really very nicely to plus or minus four over here It's not going to be we're not going to have that that luxury but we'll get that here in a minute this year. I'm going to factor In this case, I get x plus three x plus three Okay, now I'm going to condense that down just like the last one x plus three quantity squared equals 24 Now I'm going to square root both sides get rid of the squared x plus three quantity squared Try not to go too fast through this plus minus the square root of 24 Okay, now got the plus minus symbol in there square root of 24 now again. I don't know what the square root of 24 is It's if you think it's 4.9. It's blah blah blah blah something like that but in this case We're not going to use decimals. We're not going to use messy decimals. I hate messy decimals They just don't they don't work out for anybody. Okay, so just leave it as a square root of 24 for right this second We're actually going to reduce that But let me get this left side here Up a little bit. So we got x plus three on this left side this right side is gonna be plus minus now as I said before That 24 I'm going to reduce that just a little bit now. Remember when you reduce radicals split it up Using a perfect square. So four is a perfect square four times six gives you back to 24 Now the reason we use a perfect square The reason that we use a perfect square is because we actually know what the square root of a perfect square is so in this case The square root of four is to 16 over here That is a perfect square because we know the square root of it is four Four is a perfect square because we know the square root of it is two six is not a perfect square because we don't know What the square root of six is so we just kind of leave it to root six messy decimals 4.9 blah blah blah something like that. Just leave it as to root six. Okay, depending on the type of problems that you have Depending on the type of problems that you have sometimes you use decimals. Sometimes you won't but in this case I am suggesting that you do not So I take this positive three subtract it over to the other side. Do not do not mix those up Do not make messy decimals? Hate messy decimals, but anyway, it also depends on what your teacher wants Make sure you ask your teacher. Do you want this is what's called exact form? Exact form Okay, that's exactly what the answer is. It's nice. It's it's nice numbers It's easy to read that kind of stuff if you actually punch that into the calculator If you take negative three plus two root six and negative three minus two root six You get just some messy decimals. I think it's negative one I can't remember exactly what it is But again, I don't I don't like it. I don't want to remember what it is. It's messy decimals Don't want them. Okay, but make sure you ask your teacher when you're going through this Do you want debt you want exact form or do you want decimals rounded to the? Thousandth place or to five decimal places or what do you want to make sure you ask? Okay, so and now what I'm going to do is very quickly very very quickly go over a a way of us Using the quadratic formula for something okay for something other than just solving equations. So here we go Write the following function in vertex form and identify its vertex now. Notice that this this equation is in standard form Okay, x squared sixteen x negative twelve get your squareds x's and constants everything is in standard form Okay, what I'm going to do is I'm going to change this I'm going to use my completing the square process to change this into vertex form the vertex form of a Quadratic equation tells you where the vertex of the parabola is going to be this vertex as many many uses it tells you Maximums minimums it tells you the maximum height or the lowest height whatever it is So if you if you're using it for a real-life problem, it just it tells you so many different things Okay, but again depending on those examples I don't have a good one. Well, I guess if you shoot a basketball if you shoot a basketball That's a parabolic function Okay, because the ball going to go ball leaves your hand it goes up and then it comes back down then it goes into the basket Okay, that that right there. There's that's a parabolic path. That's a parabola. Okay, so the vertex that that's the highest That basketball is going to go you can actually figure that out. Okay now in this case The f of x just leave it there. Just leave this function notation there x squared plus sixteen x plus something So right there there's something familiar. That's our That's where we're going to complete the square minus 12 minus blank now I'll explain why I put a minus blank there here in a minute because it looks very different from the previous problem Okay, just just give me a moment All right, so now what I'm going to do is figure out how to complete the square So take that 16 number take that B number Divide by 2 and square it so 16 divided by 2 is 8 8 squared is 64 So it's 64 that I'm going to add here, but now here's the trouble you can't just add 64 to one side willy-nilly just whatever you want to you can't do that There are rules you have to follow if I add something to one side I have to add it to the other now for the sake of simplicity. I did not put my blank spot over here I left it over here. So but the thing is is I'm gonna put my 64 here. It's a negative 64 It's a minus 64, which I did on purpose If you're if you're ever gonna do this technically what I'm doing is I'm adding 64 to here And I'm subtracting 64 over here Technically, I'm adding nothing to one side plus 64 and a minus 64 Technically, I'm adding nothing to this one side. So it's it's okay I'm keeping my equation balanced, which which is the general rule that you gotta follow keep the equation balanced Okay, now what I'm going to do is I'm going to take this section here Okay, be careful wall it off from everything else take this section here and factor it x plus 8 x plus 8 Minus 12 and minus 64 these can combine to a negative 76 Okay, now some of you who know what vertex form is you're gonna start seeing it already Okay, this is gonna be x plus 8 quantity squared minus 76 this right here. This is vertex form We're halfway done with this problem write the following function in vertex form and identify its vertex So now I got to identify the vertex So now the vertex is x y coordinates now, which is really nice because here's your x y coordinates right here That's why we call it vertex form. It shows us what the vertex is now This tells you the y coordinate because this tells you if you studied transformations of quadratic functions This right here tells you how to go down 76 Okay, so I actually tells you the y coordinate this one over here This is kind of opposite of what you think it's right next to the x so we know it's it's horizontal It's gonna move left and right, but it's opposite of what you think it's not gonna be to the right eight This one is gonna be to the left eight, so it's actually gonna be a negative eight is where our vertex is going to be So that's a little bit different there. Okay, so our function is x plus 8 quantity squared minus 76 and our vertex is it gonna be at negative 8 negative 76 Okay, I do go through that a little quickly. I want to try to make this video short, but anyway I Hope you enjoyed the video. I know I thoroughly enjoyed making these videos for you for you guys But I hope you enjoyed the video. I hope you guys learned something today, and we'll see you next time


It's DK and guess what, I got something to say. Merry Christmas to every single one of you guys for those who celebrate Christmas, some people don't. But happy holidays to everybody watching this video right now. Guess what? It is Christmas Eve and we are here to get this cheese and we about to get busy. We do have an order on D-L-I-V-R-D-B about to pull up right now so we can get this cheese. Deliver that. We got an order on the Deliver app. The pickup location is Staken Shade. We are picking up $2,032 and $0.10 worth of food. We are gonna drive 20 miles. We're actually picking up 290 items and we will receive a payment of 160 RRP Nipsey. About to get a grip G, let's go. Just like that, we are here at Staken Shade to be great.  How you doing boss? I have an easy catering order to pick up. Yeah, yeah. I think they just give us like 10 minutes, they're all ready. Like five minutes? Yes, 10 minutes. Okay, 10 minutes. All right, I'll come back here. I'm just gonna wait and put it all in at one time. Paul, all right, thank you. A few moments later. Thank you for coming to give me. Yes, sir. About to give where are you? Come on. Thank you. So, I don't know what I'm supposed to pick. Everything is ready for you, everything. All this right here? Yeah, and this is for you, buddy. Oh, thank you. I appreciate it. Thank you. I'll come and get this lad. Thank you. Oh, thank you. Okay, so, I'm gonna bring my dolly back in the next time. I'm bringing the dolly in right now. We double dolly though. We got one dolly right there, $2 right there. They got a whole bunch of boxes. This is probably like 14 of them joints, 12 or something like that. I'm taking this joint in. Let's bar him and get it in. There right here, something too. I don't know what it is. Oh, just so you guys know, this was supposed to be a two-person job. I got one half of an order. My business partner got the other half. We trying to get this cat-cam in play. I'm gonna put those dolly back there. Last one. It's time for us to strap this joint up so we can run. Y'all see what's going on, baby. We got everything bungee'd up. Now it's time for us to go. Let's see what we got in here. I'll show y'all real quick. We got some french fries. I think it's a hamburger in there too. You know I don't eat no beef. I don't want no beef. I don't eat no beef. So maybe it's chicken. I don't know. Let's go. We are here at the drop-off. I don't know where to go. How you doing, sir? I have some food to deliver for you guys. You can set it. Oh, what do you have? Let's take a shake. It's a lot of boxes. It's probably like 15 boxes. Give me one more. All righty. Get this joint. 10 and you can't even see in that joint. A few moments later. Is the address is 1325, correct? A factor, right? Yeah, 1325. Yeah. I look some of the management. You can start bringing it in. Where you want me to sit today? Is it any place you want me to start sitting it? You can just start leaving it over here on this table, I guess. It's a whole bunch of them. Yeah, I know. If you guys have like a cart or something, I could bring it in and put it on the cart or... Yeah, but they're messaging our HR department right now because we don't know who it's for. Oh. No, no. It's like 290 individual meals. That's what it is. So just start bringing it right here. All right, man. All right. We are going to take the big boxes first. We're going to put this small one up here. Two small ones up there. Y'all see what's going on. Y'all see all that? Ain't about to eat good. Ain't about to eat good. I mean, of course I did. That's the back of this folder. You're gonna have to smash. Have you ever tried it before? Cars and Cribs is YouTube channel. Right here. Car, what did you call it? Cars and Cribs. Cars and Cribs? Yep. Check it out. Best thing on YouTube. I started off doing do-it-as and I've got the Sprinter van. Oh, really? Yeah, I started off doing... Do-it-as, dude. This one is called Delivered. D-L-I-V-R-D. Indeed. Yep. You can do Deliver and they have Deliver that, too.  Yeah. Cars and Cribs. Cars and Cribs. You got your phone? Check it out. What's your name? Jerome. Jerome? My name is DDK on the channel. All right, man. Yeah, I appreciate you, boss.  You too. Merry Christmas. And we are finished, guys. Literally round trip, it took us about two hours. That's from my house, pick up my partner, drive to the pickup, drive to the drop off, come back home, two hours, and we made $860. And since it's Christmas, I do have a gift for you guys. This is the gift. Now, if you are not signed up for the Delivered app, make sure you click the link in the description and use the promo code JeromeAdams. Again, the app is spelled D-L-I-V-R-D. Delivered. Click the link in the description and sign up and use the promo code JeromeAdams. The gift I'm gonna give you guys today is the owner of Delivered. His name is Chris Heffernan. I'm gonna put his YouTube channel up there, right there. What you guys need to do is go subscribe to his YouTube channel. Right now, go subscribe to his YouTube channel.  You are gonna subscribe to his YouTube channel because he's gonna give you a lot more information about delivery.  And also, he even did something very special for one of the subscribers who comment below on his video. And that is, he made one of the commenters a Emerald Elite Delivered Driver. And what that means is, you, my friend, as a Emerald Elite Driver, you are gonna receive orders before everybody else. And you are gonna receive higher paying orders before everybody else. So make sure you guys go subscribe to his channel. He's gonna give you guys a lot more information about Delivered. Because he is the CEO and owner of Delivered.  Now, I do wanna answer a very important question that I always get. I'm gonna answer this question first, and then I'm gonna get into a little bit more depth about the question. And not really the question, I'm more so about comments. So my business partner is gonna ask me the question. I'm gonna tell you guys. Okay, so at Calise Thomas said, if you weren't able to monetize your channel, would you still be in this business? Shoot shout out to you for that question. Again, the keyword is questioned. We're gonna talk about comments later on, but that's a great question. To be honest with you guys, I absolutely was still be in this business if I was not monetized on YouTube. And I'm just gonna be very transparent with you and let you know that I personally will make more money if I didn't do YouTube. I will make more money with the van, with the Sprinter Van, if I did not do YouTube. How would I do that? I wouldn't have to edit the videos. Usually when I edit the videos, it's like the afternoon. It's probably like between, sometimes it's between 12 and three or four or five, whatever we get home. But a lot of times there is a lot of loaves that come out from the carrier company around that time. Also, there is a lot more gigs that come out later in the afternoon because a lot of people don't wanna be out there driving in the traffic and everything. So a thousand percent, it's not even the question. I would definitely make more money without the YouTube channel. That's the honest truth. Now, I'm gonna go ahead and get into some comments because that's a great question. But I have comments.  If you weren't doing YouTube, this. If you weren't doing YouTube, that. This, everybody wanna have all these excuses about me doing YouTube or other consecrated doing YouTube, saying that they wouldn't be able to survive, we're just doing the gay gaps without the YouTube. And I wanna say this about that.  He's been around since the beginning. A lot of you came afterwards. He's been around before we even were monetized, before we were monetized. And I'm gonna tell you guys this. People make these accusations in these comments on the channel. But you don't understand that it took us two years to get monetized. And we were still doing YouTube the whole time. Two years before we got monetized. We didn't get monetized until like December, in the middle of December in 2021. We had been doing YouTube before that, doing house reviews, doing car reviews. And then we started the gig tube stuff on October 24th, that was the first day we ever did it. So we continue to do that whole time. My question to you is this, you're making comments and accusations about people in there and their financial stuff, but would you work for free for two years? I just wanna ask you, would you work at a job or wherever for two years? Now, granted, yes, we were not posting videos every single day. We were posting a video once a week. But still, would you work once a week for two years for free? So that leads me into this part right here. Now, I've told you guys previously that we were doing YouTube for two years before we got monetized.  It ain't a lot of money, it's a little money. I'm gonna tell you guys how much it was, but I'm geeked up because think about it. Again, we've been doing this for two years without nothing, we're not getting anything. It took us two years to get 1,000 subscribers and our first check was for $76.18. That's how much it was for.  I was geeked up about that $76. I was so happy because we had been doing it for so long without getting anything. So, hey, I'm always appreciative to anything that I can make money on. But that's what I'm gonna talk to you guys about today. I do wanna say this. Again, Merry Christmas to everybody and happy holidays to everybody. And for those of you who do not celebrate Christmas or the holidays, still shout out to you for tuning in and watching the video and put me on your big screen video. I really appreciate every last one of you guys. 2024 is gonna be our year. 2023 was our year, it was a year was decent. But 2024 is gonna be crazy. So make sure you guys stay tuned and stick around because we not playing around. It's about to go down like young jock. Going down, maybe in the club. Going down like young jock. I'll see you guys on next one. We going, we going, we flowing. You already know it is DDK and I'm on my way.


The People's Democratic Party has berated President Mohamed Buhari for the spate of insecurity across the country, accusing his administration of irretrievably failing the people. PDP's National Publicity Secretary Debo Oluogawa said that between 2020 and 2022, about 18,000 Nigerians have allegedly been killed by terrorists in the country. Oluogawa accused President Buhari of insensitivity to the plight of Nigerians.


Would you know what to say if someone asks you to identify your talent? Well, while you may secretly believe you don't have any ability, you do. Often it's hard to identify because your ability can feel like second nature. In this video, I will share with you 9 questions that will help you discover your unique talent. 1. What comes naturally to you? According to executive coach Whitney Johnson, the strengths that come naturally to people are also the ones they are likely to downplay. One of the first questions you must ask yourself in your quest for talent discovery is what comes naturally to me. What do I do well? What are my strengths?  You tend to overlook them most times. If you are inherently talented at something, the chance is that you might not even think of it as strength at all. Whether it is a hard skill, like drawing or a soft skill like listening, knowing what you know well and without much stress is a step to understanding your talent. Certain things get you overwhelmed when you see others flopping them. You always wonder how people cannot do this simple thing. Your primary talent is an aspect that someone is trying to take a personal development course there. 2. What will you do if money is not a concern? American investor Warren Buffett once said, your money can run out but your knowledge and talent cannot. In this world filled with so many responsibilities, many people have given a chance to make choices or choose money over almost everything. However, dip inside every man is a part of them that they cannot trade for money, which they can also give out without requesting to be paid. Ask yourself, what is that thing that I cannot let go of because of money? And also, what can I give out even though there is no payment attached to it? Yes, your talent ought to generate income for you and it will, but most people who have become successful with their abilities did not start by getting huge earnings. They helped others with their gifts first before the money started coming in. It is talent first before payment, so think deeply. What activities do I place above money? 3. What do you enjoy doing that you lose track of time? Human life today is very much dependent on time. These days it seems complicated to fully concentrate on an activity because our lives are laid out on schedules and change to them no matter what. Finding an event that puts all other thoughts and concerns on the back burner whenever you do it is a beautiful thing. Do you accidentally lose track of time at home or work? What activities make you forget about time each time you do it? You would agree that there is a particular activity that you get so engrossed in, so much so that you lose awareness of time. Losing yourself in the flow of a task is a secure sign that the job is meaningful to you and that it comes naturally to you. We lose track of time when we engage in those activities because everything within us synchronizes and before we realize it's meal time and it hasn't crossed our mind. List out the events then make you lose track of time. Go through each one and come up with a final list. 4. What do your friends appreciate about you? To get some help, ask your family or friends what they think you're good at doing. Friends and family play a significant role in this. One American author and thought leader John Maxwell once remarked most of us are not self-aware. We all have blind spots but you can ask others to help you identify your talent. Maxwell further suggests asking as many people as we can about what we think our strengths and talents are. Let it be an essential exercise. If possible, prepare a questionnaire for them. Give simple instructions on what you expect from the task when you have gotten all your feedbacks, compile the data. The strengths and abilities you repeatedly hear from different people are most likely to be your strength. The answers provided will help you to narrow down and accurately ascertain what your talents are. 5. Which of the world's issues are you most critical about? The world faces so many problems but among them, one thing resonates with you. It is most likely that the cause you are desperate to fight for is where your talents lie. So ask yourself, when I look around the society, what problem and disorder gets me angry the most? For instance, if you feel a burning sensation within you each time you see a pregnant teen girl, chances are your talents lie in coaching, either teenagers or both. If you get pissed at the terrible beats used to produce certain good songs, you probably have a knack for beats production. Deep thoughts and consideration, you may get confused about how you are to link your talent to those unfortunate situations. With constant personal development, you will begin to see the synergy between your anger and your abilities more clearly. 6. If you could do or be anything, what would you do and what will you be? When you visualize your ideal life, free from challenges, discouragements and life troubles, what do you see? One of the exercises psychologists ask you to do is the perfect day exercise. Imagine you could do anything, you had no limits or constraints at all, and you had all the resources and money to do whatever you want. The mind of a man is the powerhouse, it controls visually everything you do. So whatever you cannot picture in your mind as an activity to carry out, you will most likely not be able to bring it into reality. Likewise, whatever you can imagine yourself doing, you can be. And no, this task is not as easy as you think it is, it's not just about sitting and wishing to have a good life. When you dedicate time and focus on answering this question, you will find out that using your imaginative power is not as easy as you think. Because you feel deeply, you have the opportunity to learn more about yourself and discover your talent. 7. What are you enthusiastic about doing better? There are specific activities you carry out poorly but do not pay attention to.  German poet Johann Wufgang von Goethe once said the person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it. If it is your talent, not only will you deploy it but you will seek strategies to utilize it more effectively. When you are enthusiastic about carrying out a task better than you did the previous time, it is a pointer that that task is your unique talent. So ask yourself, what activity am I passionate about improving in? What are the things I place expectations on before carrying out? In the words of John Maxwell, your growth potential is connected to your strength. In your weak areas, your growth potential is low but when you are working to improve your strength you have a higher capacity. 8. What do you do that brings results to you? One interesting fact about your unique talent is that it yields results even before you are fully conscious of it. Somehow you see yourself doing it effortlessly and get in mind blowing results. It is when you discover it and you don't take steps to groom it that it dies. It is just like taking a flower from the bush. Although it is nurtured, it blossoms but when you take it home and do not pay attention to its maintenance, it is sure to die. Please pay attention to the tasks you do that get you accolades and awards and groom them. Indeed, the reward for talent does not come immediately but if it is where you belong, even though you don't get physical wins, there is satisfaction deep within you. If you are getting frustrated fitting in a place, even though you were given your best shot, you probably are not supposed to be there. Ask yourself, what is that thing that brings results or in a fulfillment to me? 9. What is your life's purpose? Mark Twain once said, the two most important days in a person's life are the day they are born and the day they discover why. Your why is your purpose, the reason for your existence. A person who leaves his years without finding and fulfilling his mission is not truly living. He exists on the earth. When you define your life's purpose, you will begin to search for ways to deploy it. It is your talents that you use to fulfill your life's purpose. Thus, knowing your life's purpose can help you discover your unique gifting. When you find your purpose, you will be able to ascertain what is needed for you to fulfill it. As John Maxwell, author of Leader's Greatest Return, Attracting, Developing and Multiplying Leaders puts it, Know your purpose, Grow daily to reach your maximum potential and sow seeds that benefit others. Although there are discovery tests online which can help you assess your unique talents, the questions in this video will go a long way in expanding your thoughts and bringing the best out of you.


Welcome back Thank you. This is it's good to see you guys You know you you get a very special distinction by Being a repeat offender coming back to the channel a second time Really? There's nobody else come back not yet Would they after their first experience why would anybody come back? Well just to promote stuff you guys You have a new stand-up special But it's I believe the one we I saw last time but now it's on Netflix correct Yeah, it's it's kind of crazy But it was a charity special that I put up and it was it was a compilation of all the sort of Charity shows that I've done to fundraise during the pandemic and then it's basically a home video I mean if you look at it, it's that's it's a vlog Like a one I filmed an existential crisis and we put it up on my website and It went really really well and then Netflix called and they were like we know you have the ones that you have But do you mind if this winds up on Netflix? So, you know, I like to think of it as you know when you rescue a dog It has like a foster home and then a forever home Like I feel like my website was the foster home. We got we got it healthy We raise some money with it's in good and then like Netflix is the forever home And now just lives on that is this is it is it any different than the one that I saw On on your site, or did they just kind of did they add anything more to it? We we mixed it really I mean like I said, this is legit a special that shot on like one camera, right? So I and I'm not even wearing a mic. I'm using like the inbuilt mic. Yeah camera It's it's like Netflix was like can you send it to us and I'm like I can email it to you from Okay, maybe maybe we'll color correct it a little bit So can you do that so we did that And then I got some better original music put underneath the special just kind of scored it better But no, it's the same thing. You know, it's the same people in telling their story Excellent And you've been getting a lot of I saw like on your Instagram And I'm sure you've been getting private DMs and other things of people in the midst of lockdown and COVID Who have really appreciated not just this but have just been appreciating you and you bringing Laughter to people in the midst of what's been a really hard year. Yes Yeah, and this is specially like that, you know, this isn't a comedy special comedy special And I think we all know that going into this, you know, it's something else and it's something like I like to think of it as As a moment in time, you know, and the reason that I did it is because it's this global moment in time and so when you When you put people's vulnerability out there That's what you get in the DMs So in this special as opposed, you know, like with Vitas for India for losing it Everybody was like, go check this special out or badass or lid af or whatever, you know And that goes out on their stories. This is just a lot of DM saying man I was feeling low or you know, my family had COVID or you know, my mental health wasn't in a good place So it's a lot more engagement a lot more communication. Just thousands of people messaging saying they feel better today Yeah, and when I watched it one it was it was very funny But it was also especially towards the end very very touching and and heartfelt and I read a lot of comments After I watched it that said they they'd started to cry At the end of it because it was it was I mean look, you know, I feel like there's these two ways to do it, right?  So yeah, I just try to be honest, you know With people about what it was and that seems to have struck a chord and then I think the end credits where People catch up with everybody who you met because you did get invested in their stories unlike The first three specials where I was the star of the show This one really people at the start of the show, you know, I've kind of put them from in the center My audience. So I think when you invest in those stories, it's nice to see how they how they want. Yeah, yeah And everybody can see this right now, correct? Came out a day and a half ago on Netflix and it's Yeah, I've really thought I was done with this special I'm very honest. I've given all the interviews and I've done everything and I was like it raised the money The charity's got the money even the taxation was done I Was really done with this special and then Netflix called and I think like This special came out in mid-August and then like mid-September Netflix called and they were like we want it So make it happen. Yeah, and you've done so many now And I'm sure you're happy to actually be doing shows again But it must be different because you've done I believe now drive-in shows obviously the virtual shows Is is is it any how is it different or is it very much especially with the drive-in ones? I Think I'm in a And I don't say this from a place of arrogance But the Netflix specials are done and you know, I think now it's time to wait a bit before you Before you do one more and kind of let life happen And you know inputs so that you can have some some output What I'm happy to have achieved with it is nobody likes seeing a comedian just doing four specials and then One is up and one is down. You know what I mean, but every special is just a guy doing jokes But in a different suit and in a different city, you know And sometimes those can can get worse and worse or better and better at least with this You cannot compare one special to the last special a drastic, right? So abroad understanding was stadium club into cut losing it was a straight-up stand-up like club ish special For India was a piece of theater and you know, it was a tribute to history And then this one is just a crowd-work special, right?  Yeah, I feel free I feel the most free that I've ever felt as an artist like I really could care less because What are you gonna do shut down my forest? What's gonna happen so right I think in the in the clips I've been putting up from my outdoor shows I think that shows a little bit, but I'm just like let me mess with this now You know, let me change it up a little bit and mix it up and see what happens Yeah, which aside from the other things we love about you as a comic, which is you're you know, just your honesty You're being raw. I love the last one we watched of you how you are so I'm afraid to just go out have your notes next to you and make sure you're just doing what you're doing and everybody knows you're fleshing out some things that you've been writing and and that's The artistry of comedy that you're letting people see you do like you you don't mind letting people see you as a work in progress Whereas a lot of other comedians they'll only let that happen as they're working their material out And then they'll make it public when it's polished. You know what I mean? I Think so. I mean it depends on what you want from it, right? For me, I think my new Focus is I don't get how many of you watch the joke. I want you to remember it though, you know Like that's it. That's all I want. I want comedy that will outlast this government this version of India This current social media and this pandemic. That's what I want So if 40 people watch it or if 40 million people watch it, I could kill us I just wanted to be memorable at this point. Yeah, the last one. The last one we saw of you was your your Bollywood drugs and Well, whatever the rest of the title is. Yes. Yes. Yeah, it was so fantastic and it highlighted a lot of things We do absolutely love about you is that If you don't mind me saying you have a massive pair of balls, sir, I Believe it I believe it But yeah, the the stuff you you talked about stuff that basically no one no one talks about especially stuff like Sushant's And and any political protests and and any stuff like that But you do it in such an intelligent way, but it's also still hilarious And so we want to ask you are you high right now, sir? I'm poor right now I'm unemployed right now. So that's that's that but also, yeah, you know You know, I'm not young as a comic anymore, but I'm not old as a comic either Yeah, you know, I'm 13 years in and this is like, you know, 13 years like 20 years This is supposed to be when you really try everything and find that voice that by the time you hit the 20-year mark You're Chris Rock or your Dave Chappelle. Oh, yeah, you know, we it's the right mix of know that self and craft and wisdom And all of those things. So I'm just kind of trying anything like this year.  We've ever tried. So I mean, that's the fight. I love it. That's great Yeah, do you have what what are the things are coming up for you in the year ahead that we can be looking out for?  I think You know in January of February and then I'm developing an American TV show and an American movie that I'll Hopefully star in soon. So, you know, I've been on them for a while, but I'll try and do that So hopefully I'll be on TV in the US or at least on streaming in the US by the end of the year And hopefully making a movie soon I'm also excited about like new media, you know I'm kind of I don't want to be comedian number 945 with the podcast That doesn't seem like a good way to go But I'm thinking about it. I'm like, what can I do that is Interesting in that I can do from wherever I am in the world because I plan to tour a lot this year Yeah, I don't know that's something I'm thinking about. There's enough Netflix specials with people who keep watching you I can keep putting up YouTube videos, but I'm thinking about where else comedy goes now. Yeah, absolutely Well, when it whenever because I know you were planning it to come to Los Angeles for a show I think we were gonna go. I think you were coming to Anaheim wasn't or something. You were coming to somewhere around We were supposed to come and then you know You know pandemic so that that's great We're looking forward to actually seeing you live whenever you come here, man But so I actually wanted to end this off With a little bit of a game something we've never done So I'm sure it'll go splendid, but this is This is called this message now.
