Valuetainment - Episode 291： Stoicism- Ancient Philosophy for Entrepreneurs

00:00:00.000 I'm Patrick Bedevi, your host of Value Team, and today we're going to talk about philosophy.

00:00:20.920 We're going to talk about stoicism, an ancient philosophy that helps you as an entrepreneur.

00:00:25.520 So what most people don't know about stoicism is the fact that it got started by a guy who

00:00:29.840 was an entrepreneur that lost everything, and then he had to figure out a way to think

00:00:34.420 better so he can re-engage and rebuild his business.

00:00:37.200 This is Zeno.

00:00:38.400 Back in the days around 303 BC, his business was, you know, he is shipwrecked, he loses

00:00:43.000 everything, he has a loss, comes back at that time, the guy that everybody was studying was

00:00:47.440 Socrates.

00:00:48.200 He started studying Socrates.

00:00:49.960 Through Socrates, a few different philosophies were branching out skepticism, cynicism, stoicism,

00:00:55.520 and Seneca was kind of leading the stoicism, and the next thing you know, all these other

00:00:59.900 names came from stoicism.

00:01:01.600 And the whole idea about stoicism is really four different things.

00:01:04.680 So what I'm going to do is I'm going to explain to you what those are and 10 things that you

00:01:08.720 as an entrepreneur, you as an entrepreneur can pick up to think like them that helps you

00:01:13.480 continuously advance in business.

00:01:15.860 So when you look at stoicism, you're looking at four ways of thinking.

00:01:19.100 One is make the best use of your time.

00:01:20.900 Seneca once said, some periods of time are snatched from us, some are stolen, and some

00:01:26.920 simply seep away.

00:01:29.160 Yet the most shameful loss is the loss due to carelessness.

00:01:33.380 So what is he really talking about?

00:01:34.960 You know, so many times you lose time not because of you, because something else happened to

00:01:39.980 you.

00:01:40.060 But the one part that you have to be fully upset about is when you lose time because

00:01:43.840 you're being careless about your own time.

00:01:45.480 And a lot of times that happens for a lack of preparation.

00:01:47.740 So that's number one.

00:01:48.440 So the second one has been a master of emotions, a big part of business is your emotions are

00:01:53.760 going to be going nuts.

00:01:55.140 There are three Greek words that Stoics follow. 0.98

00:01:57.440 One is apathia, freedom from emotions.

00:02:00.020 Number two is ataraxis, which is state of tranquility where your emotions become impenetrable.

00:02:05.520 And last but not least is ataraxis, which is your ability to maintain inner freedom.

00:02:10.020 The whole idea is as you're building whatever you're building, you have to figure out a way

00:02:14.160 to control your emotions.

00:02:15.040 Because nothing, I'm telling you right now, 90% of the things that you're trying to do

00:02:19.400 when you build a business, it happens out of nowhere.

00:02:22.100 You don't know what's going to be taking place to you.

00:02:23.940 If you don't have control of your emotions, you won't know how to handle them.

00:02:26.540 Number three, walk the path of virtue.

00:02:28.960 Why is this critical?

00:02:30.220 I had a guy I talked to the other day.

00:02:31.640 They caught me while I was in Jamaica.

00:02:32.820 I was doing this conference call.

00:02:34.400 And he was part of his other agency.

00:02:36.280 And he said, yeah, this guy was doing this and he was doing this and he was doing that.

00:02:40.040 This guy had a lot of money back in the 80s and the 90s.

00:02:42.340 What happened with this guy?

00:02:43.340 He walked away from virtues, lost everything, is facing 72 years in prison because he started

00:02:50.080 ripping people off.

00:02:51.180 And that completely ruins the guy's momentum.

00:02:54.060 So if you're walking the path of virtue, you eliminate start stops.

00:02:57.840 What is start stops?

00:02:59.180 I'm starting.

00:02:59.940 I create momentum.

00:03:00.860 Boom.

00:03:01.080 I lose everything because I try to take a shortcut.

00:03:03.200 I have to come back again.

00:03:04.320 Again, I start.

00:03:05.200 I start experiencing momentum.

00:03:06.680 I think about taking another shortcut.

00:03:08.020 I come back again.

00:03:09.020 Every single time you go back and forth.

00:03:10.680 But if you build your business based on the right virtues, right values, right principles,

00:03:14.820 you are continuously compounding your momentum there.

00:03:17.940 You're having a last but not least, a self-mastery.

00:03:19.700 So that'll lead me to the 10 points here.

00:03:22.240 Now, for some of you that want to take this concept of Stoicism deeper, there's four guys

00:03:25.860 you've got to study.

00:03:26.920 What is Zeno?

00:03:28.180 Epictetus.

00:03:28.740 Marcus Aurelius.

00:03:29.640 Seneca.

00:03:30.180 There's a lot of books you can study, but I suggest you go study these as individuals.

00:03:34.440 You can study discourses.

00:03:35.560 You can study meditations.

00:03:37.000 You can study a lot of these books.

00:03:38.600 But those are the main four Stoics to study.

00:03:41.640 So those are some of the basic four things I'm talking to you about.

00:03:44.060 But you can read a lot about Stoicism.

00:03:45.540 You'll also hear about wisdom, temperance, justice, courage, and a bunch of different

00:03:49.260 things.

00:03:49.600 But this is the basic foundation.

00:03:51.100 Having said this, I wanted to share with you 10 ways Stoics think that helps you as the 0.97

00:03:56.920 CEO, executive, entrepreneur, intrapreneur, to better handle these issues when they come

00:04:01.260 up.

00:04:01.440 Number one, a Stoic looks at things from the stand of worst case scenario.

00:04:05.440 They call it negative visualization.

00:04:07.500 What does this mean?

00:04:08.520 They automatically go to worst case.

00:04:10.380 If I make this decision, what is the worst case that could take place?

00:04:13.980 Well, if we do this, we could be out of business.

00:04:15.460 Well, then let's, we have to adapt.

00:04:16.900 Or, yeah, if we do this, we could be out of business.

00:04:19.860 Well, if we don't do this, what's going to happen?

00:04:21.760 We'll never be a competitor.

00:04:22.880 Well, guess what?

00:04:23.400 Let's just do it anyways.

00:04:24.680 Because there's a risk as a businessman anyways.

00:04:26.920 We'll be out of business.

00:04:27.880 But they at least know that if they make this risk, there's a 10% chance they'll be out

00:04:32.100 of business.

00:04:32.560 They go immediately to a worst case scenario.

00:04:35.720 Anticipation.

00:04:36.140 And what it does is, by far the biggest thing that it does, by far the biggest thing that

00:04:40.900 it does, it lessens the impact.

00:04:42.960 You know how sometimes when you go to the doctor and the doctor gives you a shot and they'll

00:04:47.660 say, it's going to feel like dot, dot, dot.

00:04:50.880 So then you get the shot.

00:04:52.500 It feels like what they said.

00:04:53.780 You anticipated it and it didn't hurt you because you kind of knew what's coming.

00:04:57.920 Versus if they don't tell you, then you're like, oh my gosh, what was that all about?

00:05:02.000 You didn't anticipate it.

00:05:03.000 Just like that, they like to go to negative visualization, worst case scenario.

00:05:06.880 Then they decide what they do.

00:05:08.380 They create all these different audibles.

00:05:10.280 Then they make the decision.

00:05:11.340 Number one, worst case scenario.

00:05:12.500 Number two, wealth versus mastery.

00:05:15.180 Earlier today, I sent a tweet out and a tweet said, if your goal, if your main goal in life

00:05:20.560 is to chase millions, you will eventually slow down.

00:05:23.780 But if your main goal in life is to chase mastery and experience mastery, you will never

00:05:29.060 slow down because there's no such thing as slowing down, right?

00:05:31.900 There's a lot of people online that they get the house, they get the car, they get the

00:05:36.120 girl, and then all of a sudden they slow down.

00:05:37.760 There's a lot of guys that get the money and they think life's going to be so much crazier.

00:05:41.120 And then all of a sudden they're surprised and they're like, oh my gosh, I thought it

00:05:44.140 was going to be a million times better.

00:05:46.340 I slow down.

00:05:47.080 Now, what is a million times better isn't the material things.

00:05:50.740 What is a million times better is that idea of mastery, the way you process things, the

00:05:54.940 way you look at the world in a whole different way than everybody else thinks about.

00:05:58.460 Seneca, again, once said, wealth is the slave of the wise, but master of the fool.

00:06:06.160 Listen, wealth is the slave of the wise, but master of the fool.

00:06:11.800 Meaning, money controls the fool who doesn't realize money can be your slave.

00:06:17.560 You tell money what to do, not the other way around.

00:06:20.140 Seneca was a rich man when he died.

00:06:21.860 He wasn't a poor man, but he understood.

00:06:24.120 He told money what to do, not the other way around.

00:06:26.460 So number two is the idea of wealth versus mastery.

00:06:29.300 Number three, avoiding judging.

00:06:31.240 This whole idea about judging.

00:06:32.380 We all judge.

00:06:32.960 We judge all the time.

00:06:33.740 Oh my gosh, look what he's wearing.

00:06:34.740 Look what she's wearing. 1.00

00:06:35.300 Look at the way he said this.

00:06:36.760 Why did he say that?

00:06:37.460 Why did he say that?

00:06:38.240 The more you can get in the state to say, I honestly have no idea what they went through

00:06:41.900 with this.

00:06:42.140 A divorce takes place.

00:06:43.220 Immediately, everybody wants to say, it's his fault.

00:06:45.560 It's her fault.

00:06:46.540 No one knows what happened.

00:06:48.440 You are not there 24-7 to see what happened.

00:06:51.060 Oh my gosh, look at this guy.

00:06:52.720 What took place with him and his business.

00:06:54.480 And look at this guy and what took place with him.

00:06:56.820 No one knows what the whole idea is and all the stories that took place.

00:07:00.540 So for them, because they avoid judging, they don't consume their brain thinking about

00:07:04.900 somebody else's reason for failing because they are so much consumed about trying to

00:07:08.080 figure themselves out.

00:07:09.300 When you judge, you have to start thinking about what other people did and why they failed.

00:07:13.440 I don't have time for it.

00:07:14.360 I'm trying to figure myself out.

00:07:15.760 They avoid judging to the best of their abilities.

00:07:18.100 Number four, rational logic perspective.

00:07:20.560 In the world of business, you have to have emotions, but you have to also understand

00:07:24.640 rational logic and perspective.

00:07:27.280 What is emotions?

00:07:28.080 If you don't constantly talk about the emotional aspect of why you started your company, the

00:07:33.840 vision, the cause, that lowers your social capital.

00:07:36.620 You need a lot of social capital.

00:07:38.700 Social capital, when bad things happen, you sit your group down and say, listen guys, let

00:07:42.380 me tell you why we did this company.

00:07:43.500 Did you forget about it?

00:07:44.800 We built this company because we said we can do X, Y, Z better.

00:07:48.000 And we said we can serve the clients better.

00:07:49.920 And I know we're going through this right now, but let's not forget what we did.

00:07:52.800 Look how far we've come along.

00:07:54.020 We're making a difference in people's lives.

00:07:56.020 That's needed.

00:07:56.740 A lot of that is needed at times.

00:07:59.560 But the leader, the CEO, the entrepreneur, the intrapreneur, internally needs to understand

00:08:05.260 rational logic perspective.

00:08:07.940 When you do that, you make better decisions, sound decisions, better investments, better technology.

00:08:14.200 You reason better because everything is based on data, numbers, predictive analytics, trends.

00:08:20.740 Nothing is about just, oh my gosh, I feel good about it.

00:08:23.200 Here's $800,000.

00:08:24.820 Oh, I just like the guy.

00:08:26.260 Here's $6 million investment.

00:08:27.760 No, no, no.

00:08:28.500 You have to come back to this.

00:08:29.560 By the way, VC folks, money folks, any of these guys that give money in that world, private

00:08:35.780 equity guys, they're all rational, logic, perspective is where they're at.

00:08:40.740 That's a thought pattern of a stoic.

00:08:43.220 Number five, less hate to your competitors, instead understanding.

00:08:47.960 Meaning, when I was initially coming up and my competitors were bashing me nonstop, I couldn't

00:08:53.700 understand them.

00:08:54.420 I was like, how could you say such a thing about what we're doing?

00:08:57.780 But the moment I started studying a bit of stoicism, I started realizing, I understand what

00:09:02.600 they're doing.

00:09:03.480 Their number one job when they wake up in the morning is to put me out of business.

00:09:06.480 They need my market share and I'm taking it away from them.

00:09:09.360 Again, once I understood this concept, I stopped being upset at them.

00:09:14.140 I fully understood them.

00:09:16.200 Our relationship actually became better because I know what they were trying to do.

00:09:19.840 Very simple relationship, if that makes any sense to you.

00:09:22.360 Okay, so number five, you actually understand your competitors better.

00:09:25.120 Number six, willpower.

00:09:26.840 This is kind of strange on what stoics will sometimes do.

00:09:29.660 So for instance, what they mean by willpower is a stoic will sometimes sacrifice something.

00:09:36.520 Let's just say you've already made your millions or you've made money and you can afford to

00:09:40.440 go first class or you can afford to do certain things.

00:09:42.900 They will sometimes sacrifice what they can afford to remind them of what it was like to

00:09:47.820 have nothing.

00:09:48.680 Because as you start making money, you start believing your own hype.

00:09:52.200 Everybody around you tells you how amazing you are, how special you are.

00:09:55.700 Oh my gosh, look at you.

00:09:57.400 You're a genius.

00:09:58.600 You're doing so great, et cetera, et cetera.

00:10:00.220 Or they will step away and put themselves in situations to sacrifice what they can easily

00:10:05.880 afford to remind them what it was like to have nothing that produces the feeling of

00:10:10.440 gratitude.

00:10:11.520 They lead better.

00:10:12.440 They appreciate what they have better.

00:10:14.420 And it obviously ends up producing better relationships and people stick around with

00:10:18.180 them long term.

00:10:18.940 Okay, so number seven is stoic is driven by the freedom to think for themselves, right?

00:10:23.660 So as you're building a business, everyone gives you an opinion.

00:10:26.580 You should do this.

00:10:27.140 You should do that.

00:10:27.560 You should do that.

00:10:27.960 You should do this.

00:10:28.360 You should do that.

00:10:28.760 You should do this.

00:10:29.900 Everyone's telling you what to do.

00:10:31.320 Everybody all of a sudden becomes an expert, right?

00:10:33.860 It's like when you get married, everybody starts saying, when he doesn't have a kid,

00:10:37.540 when are you going to have a kid?

00:10:38.160 When are you going to have a kid early?

00:10:39.100 You should have a kid early. 0.95

00:10:39.760 You should have a kid early. 0.95

00:10:40.400 You should have a kid early. 0.95

00:10:41.000 So for me, whenever somebody gets married, one of the first things I'll say is I say,

00:10:43.980 listen, just so you know, your in-laws and your in-laws are immediately going to

00:10:47.780 start saying, when are you going to have a kid?

00:10:49.280 And then if you don't have it for a year or two, they'll start saying your stuff doesn't

00:10:52.040 work and your stuff doesn't work.

00:10:53.980 Anticipate it and stop them in the beginning and just tell them, we're not planning on having kids

00:10:58.880 for a few years, even if you're planning on having kids, if that makes any sense.

00:11:03.060 So if you get pregnant, you got pregnant. 0.99

00:11:05.000 If you don't get pregnant, no one's putting you to pressure there, right?

00:11:08.120 Anticipation.

00:11:08.880 They like to think for themselves, right?

00:11:10.940 Henry Thoreau once said, to a philosopher, all news, as it is called, is gossip.

00:11:18.240 And they who edit and read it are old women over tea. 0.99

00:11:22.220 To my Armenian friends who are watching this, there's a phrase they call keskenik.

00:11:26.240 If you know what keskenik means, you know exactly what this means.

00:11:28.720 Like in the Armenian community, you would see, you know, your auntie and your grandma and

00:11:34.160 they would sit, 70-year-olds are having coffee.

00:11:36.120 Did you hear what this person said?

00:11:37.300 Did you hear what that person said?

00:11:38.080 That's what this guy's trying to say, Henry Thoreau, he's a philosopher.

00:11:40.620 The point is, you cannot consume too much biased content.

00:11:45.340 Let me explain.

00:11:46.000 I know people that only watch Fox.

00:11:47.600 I know people that only watch CNN.

00:11:49.420 One of the reasons why, if you can figure out a way to avoid watching the news, rather read

00:11:55.920 it from a writer or somebody that is unbiased sharing what took place.

00:12:02.020 Fact statements.

00:12:03.520 Not the ones that add their own twist to it, right?

00:12:06.620 You watch Fox, you know what they're going to say.

00:12:08.860 You watch CNN, MSN, you know what they're going to say.

00:12:11.340 Stoics want to think for themselves. 1.00

00:12:13.280 And when you have somebody saying it, they're adding their emotions into it.

00:12:15.960 Rather, I have three news emails I read every morning.

00:12:19.480 It's unbiased.

00:12:20.380 Here's what happened with China.

00:12:21.780 This is what's going on with Venezuela.

00:12:23.340 Here's what happened with Apple yesterday.

00:12:25.020 This is what happened with such and such yesterday.

00:12:26.920 Facts, facts, facts, facts, facts, facts, facts.

00:12:29.220 No opinion.

00:12:30.080 Facts, facts, facts, facts, facts, facts, right?

00:12:31.240 And that's what you're taking.

00:12:32.020 And then you and I have the opportunity to decipher between the stats and say, you know

00:12:36.620 what?

00:12:36.940 I think this.

00:12:38.200 I think that I'm good because you want to think for yourself.

00:12:41.260 In the world of business, you have to figure out a way to think for yourself because many

00:12:45.800 times you will make a decision that nobody will support, but you have access to all the

00:12:50.960 information and you are making that decision.

00:12:53.560 If after making a decision, you're still consuming all the content from other people that are naysayers,

00:12:58.360 you are going to backtrack.

00:12:59.420 Like you're not going to play offense, you'll be defensive, you'll be a little bit hesitant.

00:13:02.480 Made your decision.

00:13:03.260 I don't want to hear about it.

00:13:04.040 We're moving on.

00:13:04.480 This is what we're doing.

00:13:05.120 Game, game, game.

00:13:05.700 Let's go.

00:13:06.320 Right?

00:13:06.840 That's what it means by they were driven by freedom to think for themselves.

00:13:11.060 Point number eight, they're overly protective of their environment.

00:13:13.800 I mean, when I say overly, it's like overly obsessive, protective, like get away from me

00:13:19.740 if you are negative.

00:13:21.060 I don't want to hear any of it.

00:13:22.900 Epictetus once said, above all, keep a close watch on this, that you are never so tied to your

00:13:28.680 former acquaintances and friends that you are pulled down to their level.

00:13:32.740 If you don't, you will be ruined.

00:13:35.100 You must choose whether to be loved by these friends and remain the same person or to become

00:13:40.240 a better person at the cost of those friends.

00:13:42.800 If you try to have it both ways, you will neither make progress nor keep what you once had.

00:13:48.580 Very simple.

00:13:49.200 I mean, there's nothing complicated about what he said.

00:13:51.620 What he's trying to say is, yeah, I want to go be successful, but I still want to party

00:13:55.720 with my friends.

00:13:56.900 Yeah, I want to go be an entrepreneur, create my own business, but I still want to be my

00:14:00.400 friends.

00:14:01.020 We used to party together.

00:14:02.180 I mean, we drank together.

00:14:03.220 I still want to kick it with them.

00:14:04.740 But you understand, we go way back.

00:14:06.260 We're boys.

00:14:06.840 That's my girlfriend. 1.00

00:14:07.560 That's my boo right there.

00:14:08.560 That's my people right here.

00:14:10.160 But then I want to go be successful.

00:14:11.480 They don't go together.

00:14:12.500 They just don't.

00:14:13.620 Which one do you want?

00:14:14.880 You want to party?

00:14:15.760 Stay here.

00:14:16.360 You want to go here?

00:14:17.000 Go here now.

00:14:17.820 A couple of your friends may have said, I also want to go here.

00:14:19.880 And they're working just as hard as you.

00:14:21.360 They want it as bad as you.

00:14:22.680 That's a different story.

00:14:24.060 What Efectidas is saying, you want to go here, but your friends are pulling you back

00:14:27.840 from not wanting to win.

00:14:28.920 You want to change the ways you think because the old ways of thinking is not going to get

00:14:32.780 you the life that you want.

00:14:34.000 You got to cut one of them off.

00:14:35.740 And if you don't cut this off, you ain't going to go and get the distance of winning.

00:14:38.680 So you have to anticipate that part and be protective of your environment.

00:14:42.400 Number nine, authenticity.

00:14:43.440 Let me explain to you what they mean by authenticity.

00:14:45.040 You'll keep hearing about phrases of, you got to model this person, model his behavior,

00:14:49.780 model her behavior, model this person's behavior, model this person, that person, this person.

00:14:53.100 But if you model too much, you don't even know it, you all of a sudden imitate.

00:14:58.820 And if you imitate, you all of a sudden lose your own uniqueness.

00:15:03.340 Now, some people model because they're uncomfortable with their quirkiness, with their own flaws.

00:15:09.740 Like for me, you know how many times I say certain words and you say, Pat, that's not proper English.

00:15:13.600 I'm okay with it, but it's me.

00:15:15.840 Oh, Pat, sometimes you say the sentence and it's a run-on.

00:15:18.380 That's okay.

00:15:19.240 I'm comfortable with it.

00:15:20.780 You understand what point I'm trying to make.

00:15:22.660 That is my quirkiness.

00:15:23.900 That is my flaw.

00:15:24.660 That is my issue.

00:15:25.380 I'm very okay with it, right?

00:15:27.320 But I'm not trying to model to speak like somebody else.

00:15:30.000 If you were to go out there and say, well, Pat speaks like this person, you wouldn't be able to say it because I don't know how to speak like anybody else.

00:15:36.400 This is just the way I talk.

00:15:38.020 You have to figure out a way to do you.

00:15:40.400 You have to be authentic on how you are.

00:15:43.320 Accept your flaws.

00:15:44.340 Accept your issues.

00:15:45.380 Accept the fact that you have quirks, differences.

00:15:47.960 Don't make it something like you try to avoid doing certain things because what if somebody finds out about your quirks?

00:15:54.220 That's your signature to the world.

00:15:55.520 Don't let any of that stuff bother you, right?

00:15:57.620 Authentic.

00:15:58.080 Yourself.

00:15:59.100 Number 10, last but not least, adapt and move on.

00:16:02.380 Epictetus once said, if you are defeated once and you tell yourself that you will overcome it, but carry on as before, know in the end you'll also be so ill and weakened that eventually you won't even notice your mistake and will begin to rationalize your behavior.

00:16:20.420 Okay, so if you just told yourself, Pat, that sounded good, but I have no clue what the hell he just said right there.

00:16:25.080 Let me explain to you what he's trying to say.

00:16:26.880 What he's trying to say is, okay, so I did something, I made a mistake, but I want to move on, but I'm still clinging to my old habits and ways that I try to solve the problem this way, and I face another issue, and I'm still trying to solve in a method that I solved before.

00:16:42.980 Don't expect anything to improve because you haven't yet adapted and moved on.

00:16:47.120 Adapting means I tried away, it didn't work, I adapted, made adjustments, have a different approach to it, then I advanced.

00:16:54.940 So you'll see a lot of people that have hit a wall, right?

00:16:58.660 And then they'll make a decision that didn't work, that wasn't the best decision, they'll go down.

00:17:01.840 And then they get to the same wall again, they make the same exact decision again, they keep falling back down.

00:17:07.340 And they're wondering why this doesn't work.

00:17:08.700 Like so many people, for example, say you are wired to be an entrepreneur, and you're a very great entrepreneur.

00:17:14.700 You try four or five times to become an entrepreneur, it doesn't work for you, and you realize, I'm going to do it again, I'm going to do it again, I'm going to do it again, that's fine.

00:17:20.680 Maybe your positioning is an entrepreneur.

00:17:23.380 You know, you try to go out there and reposition yourself to do something you're not good at, and you keep fighting, fighting, fighting, you're not adapting.

00:17:30.560 You have to understand what your strengths are, you have to understand what your abilities are, and the more you're playing to that, the more you can make adjustments.

00:17:38.220 But if you don't make any adjustments and adapt, you'll keep going back and getting the same results, and nothing will change.

00:17:44.860 And eventually you hear this phrase, business just wasn't for me, I just couldn't do it.

00:17:48.820 I don't know if this industry is for me.

00:17:50.380 I don't know if that industry is for me.

00:17:51.980 I tried real estate.

00:17:53.200 I tried a guy I was talking to right now.

00:17:55.540 This guy has changed industries ten times, and every time he changes industries.

00:17:59.800 Good guy, every time he changes industry.

00:18:01.840 But it's the industry, this one's not for me.

00:18:03.560 This is the one that's for me, and then again, that doesn't work, but this is the one for me.

00:18:06.860 But that's the one for me.

00:18:07.680 It's not about that's the one for you.

00:18:09.640 Everything you do, when you reach an issue, if you make the decisions, the same exact approach you took before, nothing's going to change.

00:18:17.740 So, you have to learn to adapt and move on.

00:18:21.480 Thanks, everybody, for listening.
