00:00you got to be kidding me, doctor. This was a gift, but it was a gift I had to make
00:05myself
00:05because a lot of people have a blueprint for your life. You're supposed to follow in your
00:10family's footsteps. You're supposed to be a doctor or an accountant and an attorney
00:15or go into the real estate business. But what happens to the one that's the artist,
00:19that's the renaissance man that really feels a passion and doesn't want to be in a box,
00:23no matter how much you pay them, no matter how many clients you give them because they're your
00:28friends, your parents. No, they want to live a true life. It needs to be raw. It needs to be
00:34felt.
00:36And finally, when it comes to you, you mentioned faking beforehand.
00:42That's per the person. And sometimes you need to be confident to ask a girl to dance.
00:47I completely understand that. But then again, if you're faking a certain success in order to make
00:53yourself feel better, I feel sad for you because golden juice lose its luster. I'd rather have the
00:59real relationship with you, doctor, than paying for you to be my friend or you only liking me because
01:07I'm renting a Lamborghini for a weekend or I'm paying for a certain hotel room and spending a
01:13budget on a credit card. It's the wise man acts their way. Because you will see me one day
01:20when my shirt is torn and the rain is on me and I don't have a dollar on me and
01:26you're going to
01:27judge me during that day. And I, all those Instagram posts and you posing in front of cars and planes
01:34and parties and friends and stuff. What's that going to do for you on a rainy Wednesday when you're
01:40pushing your car because you ran out of gas by accident or there's a problem. That's the real,
01:45that's the real character that comes out. And how many times have people been surprised and looked over
01:50and go, I didn't think that was you. And why are you gloating? Why are you crying? Why are you
01:56frustrated? You were supposed to be the man. And so truth is the best way because it's consistent.
02:03As I say before, put your chest out, be assertive, but don't be too aggressive.
02:09And I think if you do that, people approve of someone being bold and they like vigor, they like grit,
02:16they like the old school college try, but like the Greeks had that thing where you don't talk about
02:23your future successes because your tongue's not keeping up with what you're doing. They only spoke
02:27about what they've already accomplished. So they never told tall tales. And I think that's a very
02:32nice governor for some people sometime. I think it's very nice to pace yourself of where you are.
02:39Yeah. It's a healthier way, in my opinion.
