      Your youtube inspired me a lot, which brought me to the idea of starting my own youtube.
      I wanted to ask you for advice for any animated software for my idea which is some stories that can be animated.
      Please let me know any advice is much appreciated.
      Kind regards,

    *"Rule 12 - Pet a cat when you encounter one on the street"*
    This one really hit me in the strangest way. I recently lost my best friend, my dog, and I was absolutely heartbroken because of it. One day I was walking aimlessly in the streets, like I many times did with my dog, when a random cat caught my gaze and came towards me. The only thing that I could do was the most obvious one: I petted it. After a few minutes, we both went our way. I don't know how or why that happened, but it truly was like a ray of light piercing through the dark clouds of my mind. It made me realize that, despite death and sadness, life can still go on and offer moments of shining beauty.

      I remember reading this book like 25 years ago. Remember him talking about having the power to choose who lived and died in the concentration camp based on how he ladelled the soup (IE, if he scooped from the bottom the person would get more vegetables and meat but if he scooped from the top they would only get broth and there wasn't nearly enough to go around so he made the choice to give the veggies to the people that looked the healthiest. Wow. I can't imagine having to make that choice and then actually doing it.)

    *Rule 08 - Tell The Truth* -- I've been doing that for so many years. Not a single lie. I don't go out telling other people what I think of them, that is being rude. I answer SPECIFICALLY what they asked for, not more, not less. If for some reason I don't want to answer the question, instead of lying I have a trick that is super complex to normal people, I say "I really don't wanna answer that, if that's ok for you." and ta-da, we change topics. I'm not saying it's easy not to lie in a world where people expect you to lie, but with therapy and courage, you can. I learned that every time I lie, I'm being ashamed of who I am.

      @stuarthall3874 Před 3 lety +57

      "I learned that every time I lie, I'm being ashamed of who I am." - I like that line. I think valuing to tell the truth has been one of my most beneficial qualities, greater that my intelligence or congeniality. As I've gotten older, I've found it harder to not deceive. I have come across people who will look for ammo against me and use partial truths as basis for lies against me. It is then hard for me not to lie in order to hide such truths. I also fear that I lie to myself more than I realize. That may be the biggest challenge to be truthful. Overcoming that necessitates having others in my life who love me and value truth. So many of us construct stories to uphold our own sense of worth and it might be a lie to think I am not vulnerable to that as well.

    I used to come here and listen to these videos at nights whenever I felt alone or perhaps lonely. It was a relief from time to time but I've come to a conclusion by the time. "Life is as meaningful as you fulfil yourself"
    That is why you get sad or mad and literary seeking for peace, putting your concern at ease and you trying trying and trying but you often break down and crawl toward distractions like p*rn, s*x, or cigar and any other sorts of addiction which it could even be eating food or not carrying about self and then, at the end of the day you feel impurity, defiled, self-loathing. We're all different but still yet have similarities. Make mistakes as soon as possible. Then you'll start learning and bettering yourself and Be unique and stay better. Love you, love yourself.

Why can't people like this be the leaders of our country instead of the clowns that actually are? These people will lead and will lead by example.

    #5 is a really tough one for me. I have a son with autism, and I work with children, who have behavior disorders. Nearly all of the parents whose children I have worked with struggle with #5, because our children have difficulty conforming to social norms. We have to shift our feelings about what is appropriate and likable about our children when they have profound disabilities. If we do not, we will certainly dislike them. Sadly, those around us, who do not know our families, may not shift their ideals, and when this happens, sometimes our entire family becomes socially outcast.

      There's a lot more information about autism now than there was a generation ago, enough for someone on the functional side of the spectrum to understand what's different about them and learn how to understand social cues and modulate their behavior. The world is "neurotypical" and it's unreasonable, not to mention unfair, to expect the majority to redefine the norm so people outside it feel better. People have a duty to be kind to those who are different but if those who are different don't undertake to learn how to interact normally with others, they will always be outsiders and never fully participate in life. Harsh but true.

    A thing that I always remind myself - If I want to change or aspire to make a difference, then it starts with me.

Instead of being that person who laughs at someone's failures and keeps asking how someone got the perfect end-result, I'll always be on the other side of the coin who struggles and thrive for the better.

      what is so brilliant about him? He is just a seller, a good one. Nothing he said, especially here in his book isn`t new or brilliant. Pet a cat, let your child ride a skate!? Common, ask a child to tell you about his philosophy and you will here something similar. He is just an advertiser, selling books and talking what you want to hear. Nothing special about him. I am here because someone recommended this book, and I am sceptical, because I know what he sells, but I respect that person who recommended me. Now, I am sure, I am not going to read it. Positive psychology is for women and people who cannot bare the truth, the life, as it comes. And what is that, if you don`t tell the truth, at least don`t lie? There is no middle, like if you don`t say it, it is ok. No, it is not, you have to say something, and it better be the truth. Yes, truth hurts, but if you are strong, you will take it. If you are a pussy, read positive psychology, but it will never help you. I will go back to Andrew Tate, because he is real, this guy isn`t.

Give every ounce of love and presence and positive life force you have into that minute, that moment, because it's only a moment and the moment's gone. But that's how you find joy in sorrow.

    #1. Stand up straight with your shoulders back: Slouching often happens on the people who are shy and less confident. It happens to myself and my teenager daughter except I'm now gaining more and more conscious about it and will correct myself whenever I realize I fall back to slouching position, but she still doesn't put any effort into it despite I have reminded her many many times. She was getting irritated when I was trying to remind her again and again when we walk together. Any parents here have some good suggestions on that? I, on the other hand, use her as a reminder to myself not to slouch because it really looks awful. So with her standing by my side, I will always remember to stand up straight. I guess that's a silver lining.
