One of the biggest determining factor of

0:02

someone's success, their ability to

0:04

get what they want in life is to be able to focus

0:07

their attention on something and keep

0:09

it on that thing for prolonged period of time, to

0:12

direct your attention and then to control

0:14

your attention on the thing that matters.

0:19

Welcome to the Bedros Koolian show.

0:22

Hey, what's happening guys.

0:27

Welcome to the Bedros Koolian show. I'm

0:32

Bedros Koolian and today we are going

0:34

to talk about the 14 hard truths about

0:36

life

0:45

that you probably didn't know, or

0:47

maybe you've just been avoiding this. But first,

0:50

listen, if you're watching this on YouTube, remember

0:52

that you can help us out a lot. If I'm adding any value

0:55

to your life, if I'm making this experience,

0:57

this human experience for you better, please

1:00

do me a favor and subscribe because 72% of

1:02

you watching this are not subscribed to the

1:04

BK show on YouTube. I would appreciate

1:07

that. And of course give us a thumbs up to help us

1:09

with that algorithm. And those of you

1:11

on Spotify and iTunes, thank you

1:13

for watching, listening,

1:15

leaving those comments, sharing all

1:18

over social media. This show continues

1:20

to grow and it grows because we are

1:22

growing it together as a tribe. And that means

1:24

a lot to me. And I appreciate that. And that is not lost

1:26

on me. So let's dive into

1:28

the 14 truths that you need

1:31

to know about life. All

1:33

right. So thing number one, I want to talk to you about is the curse

1:35

of waiting. So here's what happens.

1:38

We're kind of taught to do things

1:40

sequentially in life, right? Like, Hey, we're going to

1:43

do one thing at a time. We're going to wait, wait

1:45

until the time is right. Wait until it's perfect.

1:47

Wait until this happens. Wait until the season

1:49

is right. Wait until I have enough money. Wait until

1:52

I've learned the thing. Right.

1:54

And you know what ends up happening? You end up waiting

1:56

so long, you lose the opportunity.

1:58

There's an opportunity.

1:59

cost to waiting in life. And

2:02

what winners do is they take

2:04

imperfect action. What

2:07

average people do, let me say

2:09

it the way I was going to say it, what losers do

2:12

because they've been conditioned by the school system, by

2:14

mom and dad, by just average

2:16

mediocre people around them is they wait

2:19

and they wait. And what ends up happening is you live an

2:21

unfulfilled life because you waited so long,

2:24

you lost momentum. You waited so long,

2:26

you lost the opportunity. You waited so long.

2:29

You scared yourself or talk yourself

2:32

out of doing the thing that you

2:34

wanted to do, right? Now I don't know if the thing is to

2:36

start a business, to start a fitness program, to

2:38

break up with this person or ask

2:40

that person to date you. Whatever the thing is, you waited

2:42

so long, you lost that opportunity and that's

2:45

a shame because that ends up leading to

2:47

a life of regret. So thing

2:50

number two, truth number two is

2:53

on your journey to self mastery, you will lose

2:55

99% of your friends. Now

2:58

I know that sucks especially if you're young, you think

3:00

like man, in high school we were tight, now in

3:02

college we're tight and we're hanging out with

3:04

boys, we're always doing the thing. But I'm telling you,

3:06

the moment you truly decide to commit to

3:09

self mastery, to becoming your 2.0 self,

3:12

to really elevating to

3:14

the highest version of yourself, you will lose 99% of

3:16

your friends. And the reason for that

3:19

is you will scare

3:21

them because they

3:23

will not understand why you're

3:25

so committed to self development,

3:28

self actualization, making more

3:30

money, becoming a better human, stopping

3:33

the alcohol. You won't have things in common anymore,

3:36

right? Because if you are

3:38

trying to transcend to

3:40

self mastery, to develop as

3:42

a better human, you're probably gonna

3:45

stop drinking, you're gonna stop

3:47

smoking weed, stop the vape, stop going

3:49

out, hanging out at bars, doing stupid shit at

3:51

stupid times with stupid people, getting stupid results

3:54

and you're not gonna have anything in common. And

3:57

so in your process, in your journey of

3:59

self development, you will lose 99% of your friends. Truth

4:03

number three, no one is coming

4:05

to save you. And as much as you think that whether

4:07

it's the government or your mom and dad or someone

4:10

is gonna come and save you, they're not, not

4:12

even the cops. Like if something goes

4:14

wrong in your house, you are the first

4:16

line of defense, not the cops. When you call the cops,

4:18

they get there in time to draw a chalk

4:21

mark around your body and your loved one's body because

4:23

well, guess what, you weren't

4:25

able to defend yourself.

4:27

And

4:28

financially, no one's coming to save you.

4:31

Emotionally, mentally, no one's coming to save

4:33

you. You have to understand that. You are

4:36

the knight on the white

4:38

horse that's gonna gallop in and save yourself,

4:41

save your family. And so once

4:43

you take on that personal responsibility and

4:45

understand that no one's coming to save me, it's on

4:47

me to save myself

4:49

and my family and the people that I lead. That

4:52

is such an empowering feeling. But

4:54

if you constantly feel like you are entitled,

4:56

you're owed and someone needs to

4:58

come in and save you, it's just a way it needs to

5:00

be, you're always gonna be disappointed

5:03

because there's no one coming to save you. Truth

5:06

number four, the government and

5:08

the politicians are all liars and

5:10

they're corrupt and they will never

5:13

fix your problems. That's the reality. Now,

5:16

the news, social media, we'll

5:19

talk about Trump and Biden and

5:22

every other politician and what's going on

5:24

in their ages and it's too long and

5:26

this, look, I'm not saying don't be active in

5:28

voting for a competent

5:31

president who's not sniffing hairs,

5:34

who's not allowing cocaine into the white house.

5:36

By the way, how about how that motherfucker allows

5:40

cocaine to come into the white

5:42

house in the most protected building

5:45

in the country. Cocaine

5:47

makes it in there on the

5:49

weekend that his son is in the

5:51

building and a part of the building

5:55

that's protected and only a certain number of people

5:57

have access to but the secret

5:59

service. is somehow couldn't figure

6:02

out who left the cocaine there. Let

6:04

me tell you, if you and I walk by Pennsylvania

6:07

Avenue in front of the White House and we

6:09

just fart, they will know exactly

6:12

who we are, what we did, and what we had for lunch.

6:15

So make no mistake about it. The government,

6:17

the politicians, they are not to help you to solve

6:19

your problems. They are all liars and corrupt. And

6:22

you are the number

6:25

one problem solver in your life. Like

6:28

if you wanna make more money, don't hope for less

6:30

taxes. Learn to earn more

6:32

money, learn to manage your money, don't spend

6:34

money you don't have buying shit that you don't

6:37

need to impress people that you don't

6:39

like.

6:40

You know what I mean?

6:41

Truth number five, you're

6:43

gonna need a lot more money than you think.

6:47

And by the time you realize that, it's gonna

6:49

be too late. And that's the truth, man. And

6:52

look, you guys can argue with this in the comment

6:54

section on YouTube all you want. Like,

6:56

no, you don't need that much money. You don't know when

6:58

inflation is gonna be like a year from now or 10 years

7:01

from now. You didn't know that

7:03

gas prices over the last 12 months were

7:06

gonna jump up the way they did. You didn't know that

7:08

grocery costs were gonna

7:10

go up like they did. You didn't know that interest rates

7:12

were gonna go up like they did. Inflation

7:14

was gonna blow up like it did. You

7:17

didn't know that. And so all of a sudden,

7:19

the money that you're making today that you thought

7:21

was going to eventually go up just

7:23

got disintegrated. Like,

7:27

you got yourself, you're trying to figure out how you can shave

7:29

down your hairy body, put your fucking

7:31

dumb self on OnlyFans and pass

7:33

as a woman, even though you're an ugly

7:36

dude, so that you can make $9

7:39

a month from a few hundred dudes

7:41

who are into weird ugly men who shave themselves

7:43

down. Like, that's the position

7:45

you probably got yourself into because you

7:47

decided that I don't need enough money. I

7:50

make enough money because you didn't think

7:53

that there might be a financial crisis or disaster.

7:57

And I say this with love, fellas, like if you are

7:59

not. of the mindset that I need 10x,

8:02

50x, 100x more money than I'm making.

8:07

What's wrong with having a surplus? Because

8:09

you could always give it away to your favorite church, charity,

8:12

or cause. You can help more people. You

8:14

know how many people need money for medical

8:16

procedures and surgeries? You can help

8:18

so many people if you have a surplus of

8:20

money. But when you are lacking

8:23

money, you become a liability. You become

8:25

someone who now is reliant on

8:28

the rest of us. You become a burden

8:30

on the rest of us. So I'm here to tell you that

8:33

you're going to need a lot more money in life than you think.

8:35

And by the time you realize that, it's going to be

8:38

too late. Truth

8:40

number six. You'll be a

8:42

lot happier if you stop blaming your parents

8:44

for all your problems. Like there's

8:46

no other way to say that. Your parents weren't

8:48

perfect. They did the best they could. Maybe

8:51

they divorced. Maybe they're crazy. Maybe

8:53

one's crazy and one's not. Who

8:56

knows? They did the best they could

8:58

with what they had. Now that you're an

9:00

adult, it's on you. If you're

9:03

repeating the crazy patterns, then

9:05

you are equally as nuts. You

9:08

got to stop blaming the parents for the

9:10

problems that you have and start

9:12

taking personal responsibility. Truth

9:15

number seven. Train

9:18

yourself to let stupid people win

9:20

arguments. Like isn't that

9:22

a great concept? I know the idea that makes

9:24

sense, right? Train yourself to let stupid

9:26

people win arguments. If you're arguing

9:29

with stupid people, you're

9:31

never going to win. Like you've got common

9:33

sense, they don't. You're rational,

9:36

they're not.

9:38

You

9:39

have a better understanding of the topic, they

9:42

don't. They're emotional

9:45

and they're going to constantly spew

9:47

out stupidity. Now if

9:49

you and a stupid person are across the street

9:51

from me

9:52

arguing and

9:54

I'm just watching, I'm not going

9:56

to tell who the sane one is and who the stupid one

9:58

is, am I?

9:59

I'm going to go look at those two stupid people. So

10:03

the greatest advice I can give you, the greatest truth

10:05

I can give you here in life is

10:07

to train yourself to let stupid people win

10:09

arguments. Your life will be better

10:11

for it. Listen, I stopped

10:14

taking all of those and I started taking

10:16

this, the Trulene Wellness Shot. In

10:19

fact, I created this because I was sick and tired of every

10:21

morning taking 11 different supplements

10:24

like turmeric, ginger, cayenne

10:27

pepper, black pepper, vitamin B12,

10:29

echinacea, vitamin C, zinc, right?

10:32

Think about this. If you want to improve your immune

10:34

system, if you want to fight off inflammation

10:36

in your body so that you have better gut health, you

10:38

have more energy, your joints don't

10:40

hurt, then you're going to want to take all those

10:42

supplements. And I was taking it twice a day,

10:45

every day. And so when we created the Trulene Wellness

10:47

Shot, we cut no corners and we

10:49

spared no expense. And so in

10:51

this, you've got something that's going to

10:53

not only help boost your immune system, but

10:55

also fight off inflammation. Because if you're a high

10:57

performer and if you want to get more done,

11:00

if you want to stay more focused, if you want to make

11:02

sure that you don't get sick as frequently,

11:04

then you have to care about your immune system

11:06

and you have to fight off inflammation, especially

11:09

if you're an entrepreneur and you're high performing

11:11

and you have a stressful work day from

11:14

time to time. Right? And so here's

11:16

and control your attention because

11:48

if you can learn how to direct and control

11:50

your attention, that is one of the greatest superpowers

11:52

you can develop. Let

11:55

me tell you something. We all

11:57

have two arms, two legs for the most part. listening

12:00

to this and you're missing a limb and I'm sorry about that. But

12:03

for the most part, we have a certain level of IQ that's

12:06

about the same. We have two arms, two legs, we're,

12:08

you know, have about the same things going

12:10

for us, right? One

12:13

of the biggest determining factor of someone's

12:16

success, their ability to

12:19

get what they want in life is to be able to

12:22

focus their attention on something and

12:24

keep it on that thing for a prolonged period

12:26

of time, to direct your attention

12:29

and then to control your attention

12:31

on the thing that matters, right? You

12:35

know, I often say you want to control what you can

12:37

in life, you want to cope with what

12:39

you can't control and you want to

12:41

concentrate on what counts, the

12:44

three C's. And so being

12:46

able to control your attention for

12:48

a prolonged period of time on

12:50

something worthy that's going to produce

12:53

a meaningful outcome will make

12:55

your life substantially better. That

12:57

is a superpower. Develop it.

13:01

Truth number nine.

13:03

Fellas, this may piss you

13:05

off, but this is the truth that I'm

13:07

here to give you. Women are biologically,

13:12

they biologically detest weakness

13:16

in men and they reject

13:19

fragile men. That's just how

13:21

it is. Women biologically detest

13:24

weakness and they reject

13:26

fragile men. And so

13:28

if you lack emotional discipline, if

13:31

you lack mental toughness, if

13:33

you are someone that is okay

13:37

with just breaking down around

13:39

your woman, I'm

13:42

telling you right now, she secretly detests

13:44

you. She literally

13:47

is disgusted

13:49

by you. I

13:51

know this because I hear this often

13:53

from women who are all of them, my DMs,

13:57

telling me about their husbands, their boyfriends.

14:00

who need to man up, who need

14:02

to control their emotions, who

14:05

need to step back into their masculinity

14:08

because these women are having to make the big

14:10

decisions at home and they are resenting

14:12

you for it. When

14:15

you become a decisive, emotionally

14:17

disciplined, mentally controlled

14:19

man, you will see that your woman

14:22

respects you. There's

14:24

nothing more powerful for a man

14:26

to get from his woman than respect. If

14:29

you guys remember, about six months ago on YouTube,

14:32

I did a community poll. At

14:35

the time, I think we only had, I think right now

14:37

we're north of 640,000 subscribers, but

14:41

at the time, I think there was maybe 400,000 subscribers,

14:45

and of all the people that took the poll, 80%, over 80%

14:48

chose, I

14:51

said, if you could only have respect or love from

14:53

your woman, what would you want, fellas? Over 80%

14:56

said I would want respect. Well,

14:59

if you want respect from your woman, understand

15:01

that they are biologically designed to

15:03

detest weakness and

15:06

fragility in men. And the reason for that

15:08

is they rely on us to

15:10

provide, they rely on us to protect,

15:13

they rely on us to

15:15

be steady. It

15:17

is their role to

15:20

be gentle, to be emotional.

15:23

And

15:25

that is a good thing, because

15:27

we need both energies under

15:30

one roof, we need the feminine energy,

15:33

we need the masculine energy. Could

15:35

you imagine if it was all feminine, or

15:37

if it was all masculine, there would be

15:39

a off balance of energies.

15:42

Truth number 10, most people

15:44

will not understand your obsession,

15:47

your drive, and your determination. Success

15:49

is a lonely journey, that's just a reality.

15:52

And most people are not gonna understand why

15:54

you're so driven, why you're so obsessed. And

15:57

if you try and make them understand, you're gonna end

15:59

up frustrated. The

16:01

best advice I can tell you is, go

16:04

on the journey by yourself. It

16:07

is the best journey, man. Leveling up, making

16:09

more money, losing weight, getting fit,

16:12

becoming the best version of yourself is the fucking

16:15

most awesomest journey you will ever go on. But

16:17

it's a journey that you will probably go on by yourself.

16:20

Most people will not understand the

16:22

level of obsession required. They

16:24

will not understand the level of drive

16:27

and determination that it takes for you to

16:29

become that person.

16:32

And when you try and help them understand, you

16:34

will find yourself frustrated. Truth

16:38

number 11, the fastest way to losing

16:41

yourself is to try

16:43

and make everyone else happy. You

16:45

ever try that? You ever try making everybody else happy and

16:47

you find that, fuck, it's not working.

16:50

I do this to make them happy. I go there to make that person

16:52

happy. I do this to keep this person happy.

16:54

And I find that I've got nothing more to

16:56

give. My cup is empty, right? The

17:00

best thing you can do is be a true north. Be

17:02

you. Shine your light. Know

17:05

what your core values are. Know what your belief system

17:07

is. Know what your morals and your character should

17:09

be. And live by that. And

17:12

the reason I say be a shining light, because if

17:14

you're like a light

17:16

at the end of a cliff on the ocean,

17:19

right? That

17:21

light that attracts ships

17:23

into the harbor. You

17:26

will attract the right people to

17:28

you. And you

17:30

won't have to try and make everybody happy.

17:34

They will be similar to your

17:36

energy. They will organically be happy.

17:39

And what you need to understand is that

17:41

happiness is an inside job. And

17:43

so if you're the type of person that has taken

17:46

on this mission of trying to make everybody

17:48

happy, I'm telling you

17:50

right now, you're going to end up being very

17:53

disappointed and you're going to lose yourself

17:56

and find yourself sad and depressed and

17:58

anxious because you've just... It's given

18:00

so much of yourself and

18:02

you can't. There's got to be some

18:04

kind of refilling up your

18:06

own cup. There's got to be some kind of self-care

18:09

that has to happen. Number 12, truth

18:11

number 12, your body is

18:13

a direct reflection of

18:16

your mental and emotional state. You

18:18

know it to be true. I know it to be true. It's

18:21

just a fact. If you

18:23

are a few pounds overweight, if you're out

18:25

of shape, if your health is suffering, as

18:29

you are, your mental and emotional state is struggling

18:31

as well. And if you want to improve your

18:33

mental and emotional state, start

18:36

in the one place that you have absolute

18:38

control over. Your body, your health.

18:41

You can control every single day. You can

18:43

control what you eat and

18:46

how much thunder you bring during

18:48

a workout. You can control

18:50

that. You may not be able to control how

18:52

your boss treats you. You may not be able

18:54

to control how your wife or

18:57

girlfriend feels about you today. You

18:59

may not be able to control a lot of other variables. But

19:02

the thing that you can control is

19:04

how your body looks and feels. And

19:07

how your body looks and feels is directly

19:10

correlated with your mental and emotional

19:12

state because your body

19:15

is connected. We always talk about

19:17

on the show how you do anything is how you do everything.

19:21

Well then you know that everything

19:23

is connected. So if you let yourself get

19:25

fat, if you start growing titties,

19:27

the kind of titties that I can milk, if you

19:29

find yourself getting those stretch marks on your

19:31

belly, if you all of a sudden

19:34

find yourself wearing those loose basketball

19:36

shorts that you slide on and keep on all day because

19:38

God forbid you should wear some kind of jeans that

19:40

are fitted and look good because

19:43

nothing other than a fucking burlap potato

19:45

sack would look good on you, maybe

19:48

you ought to start eating healthier. You ought to start

19:50

training. You ought to start running. You ought to start getting

19:52

out in the sun. You ought to start treating your

19:54

body like a fucking sports car. When

19:57

you do, you'll start feeling like

19:59

a sports car. you?

20:01

That's how it works.

20:04

Truth number 13, you

20:07

are not special and no one

20:09

owes you anything.

20:10

It's a fact.

20:12

Now your mom and dad may have told you

20:14

you're special. Society

20:17

may tell you that you're special because

20:19

you're gay, you're lesbian,

20:22

you're transsexual, you're a transgender

20:24

unicorn, you're black, white, Mexican,

20:27

Chinese. You're not special baby

20:29

girl, you're not. No

20:31

one owes you nothing and the sooner

20:33

you figure that out, the better life

20:35

will be because if you walk around life

20:38

feeling like you're owed something and that you're special,

20:42

one, you're gonna be an entitled little bitch,

20:45

two, you're gonna be constantly let down

20:47

by people. That's the facts.

20:50

That's a truth that people won't share with

20:52

you. They want to tell you you're special.

20:55

They want to tell you that you deserve success.

20:57

You deserve happiness. No you don't. You

20:59

don't deserve it. You can go out and get it. You

21:02

can go earn it. You can

21:04

work your ass off to acquire it. You

21:06

don't deserve it any more than I deserve

21:09

it. Finally,

21:11

truth number 14, your parents

21:14

were wrong about most things. That's

21:16

a fact. Understand that your

21:18

parents were wrong about most things and the reason I share that

21:20

with you is this isn't like the 80s and

21:22

90s,

21:23

right,

21:24

when I grew up. Back

21:27

then, technology didn't evolve

21:29

as fast and even then, look,

21:32

I look back and I realize my generation,

21:35

I'm 49 years old, my parents were

21:37

wrong about most things. Like my

21:39

dad was like, hey, I brought you to America, to a country

21:41

of freedom and opportunity, we escaped communism,

21:44

go out and get a good job and stay there for

21:46

a long time and retire from there. Like,

21:49

what the fuck?

21:51

Could you imagine if I actually

21:53

listened to that plan, I followed that plan? There

21:56

is no way. I mean,

21:58

I would have to find a unicorn

21:59

career where I

22:02

respected who I worked for, got paid

22:04

well, and was given the opportunity

22:07

to have a side gig on my own,

22:09

to have some creative freedom.

22:11

There ain't a lot of careers out there that

22:13

allow for that. There just isn't. And

22:18

so your parents were wrong

22:20

about a lot of things. Today, technology moves

22:22

so quick. Like

22:24

they're telling you, go to college, go get a

22:26

great job. Go to college for what?

22:28

What do you need to go to college for? Unless you're going to be

22:31

a doctor, an accountant,

22:33

a lawyer, an architect, an engineer, something

22:35

that specifically requires a high level

22:37

of education. What do you need to

22:39

go to college for? Sociology?

22:42

Are you kidding me? To get a MBA,

22:46

a master's in business administration? Motherfucker,

22:48

do you think I have an MBA? I have seven

22:50

companies. I make hundreds of millions of dollars a year.

22:53

Do you think that there's any university,

22:55

Harvard or Yale, that would have taught you how

22:58

to run a business and how to maintain the

23:00

success of that business during a pandemic? Is there any

23:02

fucking MBA that teaches

23:05

you that? If

23:07

I listened to my parents and went to college

23:10

to become an entrepreneur, because

23:12

I was like, guys, I think I want to be an entrepreneur. Like, oh, well

23:14

college has, they teach you marketing, they teach

23:16

you sales. No, they don't. Professors

23:19

just profess. They don't practice. There's

23:22

no professor out there running a big company.

23:24

That's pretty rare that you're going to find that. If you

23:26

realize that your parents are wrong about most things,

23:29

you will start questioning. And it is okay

23:31

to start questioning your parents. I'm

23:34

not saying stand right there and question them in person.

23:36

But I am suggesting that you might want to

23:38

go, you know what, let me research this and

23:40

see if there's any validity to what they're saying. Maybe

23:43

you realize, oh shit, what they're saying was specific

23:45

to their generation. What they're saying was

23:47

a byproduct of the trauma or the experience they had.

23:49

They started a business that failed. And so

23:51

they don't want me to start a business. They're saying it's high risk.

23:54

But today I can watch 20 YouTube videos and

23:56

pretty much be a fucking expert at

23:59

leadership, marketing sales, product

24:01

creation, value creation,

24:03

right?

24:04

So if they're like, man, don't start a business, you'll fail.

24:06

Do you know how hard it is to start a business? Yeah,

24:09

it was hard back in the day. Today

24:11

you can go find mentors, you can follow

24:13

people on Instagram, read books, watch

24:16

YouTube channels and literally over

24:18

a six month period, develop the

24:21

knowledge, the wisdom to be able to

24:23

go out and execute. Now, is that going to make

24:25

you successful? I don't know. But

24:28

what it will do is help you avoid

24:31

a lot of pitfalls that you would have gotten

24:33

fallen into if

24:35

you didn't know this stuff, right? So

24:37

your success rate, your chance

24:39

of success, your probability of success is

24:41

much higher. So understand that your

24:44

parents were wrong about a lot of things

24:46

and that's okay. They come from a different

24:48

generation, they come from different experiences,

24:50

they didn't have access to what you have

24:53

access to and it's okay to question

24:56

everybody and everything because

24:58

this is your life. You're the

25:00

star in your own life. I don't know if you

25:02

know that or not. But one of the greatest movies

25:05

I've seen is the movie of Bedros Kool-Aid

25:08

and I watch it every day and every day a

25:10

new chapter, a new episode comes

25:12

out. It's my fucking life.

25:15

Why would I live a life that someone else would

25:17

want me to live? I

25:20

didn't push my kids towards any direction. I

25:22

just said through my experience, here's

25:24

how life works, son. Here's

25:26

how life works, daughter. If

25:28

you want my counsel beyond this, I'm

25:30

here for you. Otherwise,

25:33

here's how I know about how life works.

25:36

But go out there and experience. Say yes to the adventures.

25:41

Follow the path that most people don't. Figure

25:43

things out. Say

25:46

yes to the experiences. And

25:48

we'll find the path

25:50

that's meant for you. And that's a pretty fucking

25:53

cool thing. But I bet it's pretty

25:55

rare for a dad or a mom to say

25:57

that to their kids, isn't it?

25:59

So guys, I want to let you know that these are

26:02

the 14 truths, the hard

26:04

truths about life that most parents, teachers,

26:07

people don't want to talk about. I

26:09

want to share that with you. I hope you'll share this

26:12

episode so that more people can have access

26:14

to these 14 truths. And

26:16

above all, remember this, that averages the

26:19

enemy, that success is your responsibility

26:21

and change can take place in an instant

26:24

when you decide to flip the switch. I'll

26:26

see you next time. What's the difference between me

26:28

and you? And you? And you? Back

26:30

with you.

26:31

Oh no, no, no, no, no. I'm doing a bunch of wobbits

26:33

hanging with the enemy.
