Hey everybody

Welcome back, I hope you enjoyed the last couple videos

Today we are going to talk about Self Driving Cars

because it is something I talked about in my Uber Video

which you can see a link right up there on how I want to leave and don't

So, today I want to talk about Self Driving Cars

This my my Channel, Random Thoughts and Rants

Talk about just about anything I want to talk about on this channel

If there is something you would like to talk about, go ahead and leave it in the comments below

and I may, or may not, talk about it, because this is my channel

and I will do what I want with it, and if you don't like it, I'm sorry

but not really, sorry, not sorry

being an uber driver and being a rideshare driver in general

the self driving cars are

a lot in your mind, sure they are not coming around

this year, or next year, if you are watching this video in 2028

or whatever, and you are laughing at me because this was recorded

in September 2018

when self driving cars weren't there, I mean they had them

they were experimenting, they were perfecting, working on the AI

Tesla has theirs and Uber is working on some

and some other car manufacturers are working on theirs, Google and whatnot

Alphabet, whatever you want to call them

Now, keep in mind

All of the information I give you is just stuff I have heard

it may or may not be accurate, if it is not accurate, leave a comment below

being nice, and saying here is the accurate truth

and leave a link or send me a link

that proves that you are right and I am wrong

I am am more than willing to admit when I am wrong

But, Self Driving Cars

It is just so amazing where we live in a time where that is a possibility

In fact, in a lot of places, it is a reality, they actually work

They do work, they don't work perfect

But, they are working very well

It is amazing, because

You will be able to get in a car just like in all of the movies we see

You will be able to get in a car and it will take off and drive on it's own

and you will say take me home, it will take you home, because it will know where your home is

And nobody will actually own cars. Companies will own cars

like Uber will own cars or GM will own the cars

or whoever... Bob will own 50 cars and

his cars will take you where you want to go

And that is what I think is amazing, and it is not just

a traffic issue that I think about, I think about

I love, first of all, I love to go on a Road Trip

I like to drive, I enjoy driving, I love getting on the freeway

and just keep going and going and going

and just wee where the road takes me, take a 2-lane road and go somewhere fun

Having a self driving car do that, where

I can enjoy the actual scenery more

or, I can look around and I don't have to focus

on the driving, worry about someone wrecking

worry about someone changing a lane into me, or

a deer running across the road, whatever it is

I don't have to worry about it, I can look, I can take a nap

that would be fantastic

I could watch a movie, but,

I really enjoy watching the scenery

I like watching whats going on around me and just enjoying

and think about it, if you are with a family, on a road trip,

you can play road games, we have all kinds of stupid

little road games, the alphabet game, or whatever

It is an amazing thing

to me, that

self driving cars

are going to happen probably in my lifetime

Unless something unforeseen happens to me

relatively quickly. They will happen in my lifetime

And that is something

as a high school kid I would ever think.

It was always a fantasy, science fiction

it's like, "oh yea, that's never going to happen"

What's a computer? Computers are too slow

We never, I never had the vision in high school

to see that computers would get fast enough, AI would get good enough

to see that this would actually happen

and I guess that is something that comes with age

You know, you realize that

fantasies are not always fantasy, because people

that were in high school when I was in high school

had the same fantasies, but they also had an idea on how

to make that fantasy come true

I think that self driving cars are going to be a good thing and it's going to have a lot of

problems when they get to self driving trucks

the one thing i see as a problem with self driving trucks is

not only will drivers be out of jobs, but

a lot of support jobs will be out of

jobs. The people that work at the

truck stops, they are going to be out of work, because there are going to be no trucks

stopping with people in them to go eat

and to go to the restroom. They are still going to have some attendants

and maybe some mechanics and people like that to

fix things when things go wrong. But, there is not going to be a driver

in the car to service, there's not going to be a driver in the car to

go in and eat lunch, there is not going to be a driver in the car to go buy

some stuff for his truck or for his trip, some souvenirs

for the family. That is millions of jobs that are going to be lost

And how is that

going to affect the economy of the world?

the economy of just the United States?

The economy of everything

Elon Musk goes and talks about, er, maybe not just Elon Musk, but people talk about

A global type of economy, I can't remember the name of it

If I think of it, or if I find out, I will put it on the screen somewhere so you can see it

It is about how companies who are doing too much automation or

a lot of automation and have gotten rid of a lot of jobs pay higher taxes

those higher taxes go to the people who don't have jobs

and there is like a common salary

Ok, and now I am kind of rambling, and going off on a tangent

on something else, maybe I'll talk about that some other day

Keep in mind, I am not a genius, if you guys want to know

a lot of cool, different information about these kinds things that are

more in depth and more researched, there is a guy on YouTube called

called Joe Scott, I will leave a link to his channel below

he is really cool, he doesn't know me, he doesn't know about

my channel, I am teeny tiny. He is a really good guy, he is not

a scientist or anything, but he is really good at doing his research and

he is very entertaining and you will learn a lot on his channel

but, anyway, my thoughts, I just talk about what I think about it

I think about... [stutter]... I am excited

for self driving cars, but I am also a little concerned

as to what it means for the economy

I am really worried about that, what's it going to mean to the people, I mean

and society in general, and how is our society going to change

that's what I like to hear from you guys, what do you think

about self driving cars and how it's going to affect

the global economy, the global society?

and everything else in the world?

Just self driving cars and self driving trucks

Tell me your pros, tell me your cons, tell me everything. I want to know

and maybe I will make a follow up video on it, this is a new channel

i don't know what I want to do. I know I want to talk about thoughts and I want to rant

and stuff like that, and that is what we are going to do

If you like that kind of thing, make sure you subscribe to the channel, click the notification bell

and if you like this video, like it, and share it among your friends

and i don't really have a good sign off right now, so we just kinda say, "I'll see you in the next video"

and thank you very much for watching

INFJ: Learning Self Love and Acceptance - Duration: 8:08.

Now what the heck is this INFJ stuff you might well ask, I did a couple of months

ago because it was the first time that I took the Myers-Briggs test and found that I'm

an INFJ - 2% of the population are INFJs, and I keep bandying around this

term of INFJ as if it's evident to everybody what the heck that means but

it's an acronym that you get when you take the Myers-Briggs test. Myers-Briggs

is a personality test, there are sixteen possibilities that you

can be, and it's all based on your levels of intuition your levels of extrovert-ism

and introvert-ism and other stuff like that. You take a whole load of

questions about how do you feel in the crowded room and all that, and and then you get

your personality type, and for me it's actually been extremely enlightening and

I have my health coach to thank for this because he encouraged me as part of our

health coaching process to take the test because health is a holistic thing

and to be truly healthy happy and full of vibrancy

it is important to first of all know thyself. I think there was a pre-

Myers-Briggs me and a post Myers-Briggs me - the pre- one was constantly

apologising for being the way I am and trying to be somebody else because when

you're a rare personality type - 2% of the population is kind of rare, it is the

rarest one out of the sixteen personalities - you don't fit in. Because

everybody around you is a different personality type and even when you do

find other INFJs you're like 'oh you're a bit weird' - I think that's what's happened

to me in the past. Because we are.

There's a certain intensity to INFJs there's an

extremely strong need for alone time. We are highly sensitive people - too

sensitive - since I am of the less social types of personality types and most

other people in my entourage or in the world in general are more sociable than

me, I felt bad and wrong for needing to be on my own so much so I've sort of

forced myself into socialising and that's really really really exhausting.

I mean it's my own fault for trying to put a mask on me and

trying to be someone I'm not, but I've always found social occasions to be

highly frustrating, boring, disappointing, annoying, tiring, overstimulating and just gah.

But that is no reflection on the people that I was spending my time with.

It is 100% a reflection on me trying to be someone I wasn't and therefore having

wholly unsatisfactory social exchanges because of putting on a face and pretending

to be this person and actually I'm going 'oh get me out of here get me out here'.

Yeah so it's hard being an INFJ. I don't know if you're watching this,

perhaps you're an INFJ - and if you relate to what I'm saying then let me

know. Everybody's special let me e clear, I'm not just kind of like putting all the

INFJs into this special category and everybody else is the same, no we're all special,

there are so many different personality types,

everybody's got their quirks, but I think that INFJs do really need to learn

self-acceptance and self-knowledge and to realise that they don't need to be

ashamed that the don't particularly like social

encounters, or let's put that another way - they need to learn to be themselves

in social encounters because that's when the human

exchange becomes satisfactory and enriching because you show up as your

real self, your own idiosyncratic quirksome self. So if you're an INFJ too then I

encourage you to live your personality type and don't apologise for it and

certainly don't pretend to be someone that you're not because it's only going

to end in disaster. I am going to go into the tendency of INFJs to fall into addictive patterns

next time I talk about this because addiction is often a symptom of

deep-seated shame - toxic shame - that makes us think that we're inherently wrong. But

we're not inherently wrong as INFJs, we're just different and anyone else who has a

different personality who suffers from toxic shame - you're not wrong either,

nobody's wrong, nobody's right, we're all just a little bit different to each other and the

more that we can accept that and not try and mirror other people's behaviour

because we think that what's out there is more acceptable than who

we are because other people seem to have their s*** together much better than we do

that's certainly a trait to get rid of. Yay for being odd, yay for being unapologetic about the

person that we are - unless we're a serial killer in which case you might want to

reconsider. But if you're just an honest INFJ going about your business in an

extremely tortured and oversensitive way, just ride it - ride

it and find the tools that you need to regroup on a daily basis and wipe that

slate clean and protect your own energy.

Please share in the comments below the emoji - because we love emojis on Veggie Magnifique -

that you think best represents INFJ-dom. Maybe it's the monkey

doing this because sometimes as INFJs we don't dare express ourselves because

we think that everybody else has got it figured out and nobody wants to listen

to us - oh, pity party. No it's not that, it's not a pity party,

it's just being ill at ease with the very different perception that we might

have of things that we think is inherently wrong because it doesn't

reflect what other people are putting down. So yeah the monkey but you might

have other ideas. Alright so off I pop to drink my bucket of matcha and we will

see you next time on Veggie Magnifique. If you enjoy our content and you're ready

How to get a mortgage if you're self employed - Duration: 9:49.

In this video we look at how to qualify for a mortgage if you're self-employed

and what are the financial requirements to qualify for a mortgage, that's

starting right now.

Welcome to Homebuyer's School brought

to you by Brookfield Residential.

Hi everyone, welcome to another Homebuyer's School

video, a channel where you get the latest strategies tactics and tips from

home buying experts, and remember if this is your first time on this channel and

you want to get the latest strategies from the experts, hit the subscription button

below, hit the little notification bell so you don't miss anything. Today I'm

joined by Mujtaba Syed, manager mobile mortgage specialist with TD Canada Trust

and the question we're gonna answer today is how do you qualify for a

mortgage if you're self-employed?

Yeah that's a great question,

so most lenders are very similar when it comes to self-employed income or if you

are self-employed they want to see that you've been self-employed in the same

industry for at least three years and what they want to do is they want to see

somewhat of a consistency right so they're most likely going to use a two

year average of the income that you have reported from being self-employed and

and then there are some lenders they have ways where they could maybe gross

up that income understanding you're self-employed you have certain expenses

and then kind of see from there but there are other things as well that we

can do with self-employed, we can look at your financials we can take a look at

your taxes to see what you have kind of shown to pay a little bit less because

self-employed there is that benefit of being self-employed we can

control how much taxes you end up paying, but you definitely want to see what's

available. Now the insured-- there's an easier way to get approved to the

insured self where we have come to call a state income program through Genworth

where you can see if it's a little bit easier to try it that way, once again

it's a discussion to have with your lender and your specialist and

definitely interview your lender and your specialist to see if they're very

familiar when it comes up to self-employed policies because they

differ quite a bit and in if someone who's not very proficient in dealing

with self-employed people or self-employed borrowers they might not

know which policy to apply so once again ask them: Have you dealt with a lot of

self-employed? What do you-- how do you feel? Do you-- have you gotten

a lot of approvals for self-employed income? --and then kind of go

from there, but self-employed definitely there's-- just because you're

self-employed does not mean that the bank will not lend to you. They might ask

you for a little bit extra documentation to kind of see where your income is

coming from but at the end of the day if your lender is very proficient with

their policies with self-employed, they should be able to help you.

Well I know

you touched on financial requirements so maybe it isn't just for self-employed

but what are some of the financial requirements that you-- that need to

be met to qualify for mortgage?

Yeah great question Karl, so the financial requirements that

are needed by the lender is to see repay-ability right, when a

lender wants to lend you a mortgage they want to see that you can definitely

afford to pay that back. Banks are now in the business of lending money and trying

to recoup their assets or their homes, they want to make sure that you can pay

back what you borrowed and that's where the financial requirements come in for a

self-employed they want to see, well on paper how much are you showing on paper?

And on paper if you're not showing a significant amount maybe they can try to

find other ways to kind of prove your repay-ability for someone who's not

self-employed it's technically a lot easier because it's very cut and dry to

take a look at your income, if it's salary based they'll see how much salary

you're getting, they might take into account if you make any bonuses or if

you're getting some kind of share structure ownership or anything like

that. They might want to take all those into account and if you're not on

salary and you're working an hourly basis they might even want to see if

you're getting something like overtime, if you're working a lot to overtime, if

you have consistency over the overtime, they can take a look into that if you

work different shifts and you get shift differentials at a

higher rate of pay, they might want to take a look at that but for most banks

what they really like to do, like to see consistency they don't want to see

something over a two-year period to see does this make sense, is this consistent

with what we think and your bank is always trying to help you, definitely to

get it will qualify for mortgage until they're trying to look at a

lot of different options to see if you can qualify or not for sure so

definitely have a conversation with your lender when you're sitting down with

them, explain to them all the avenues that you think

you can make income like if you're working overtime bring that up if you

have shift differential, definitely bring that up if you're getting some

kind of allowance at work like a car allowance, or a phone allowance, or a

moving allowance, or etc. whatever it is, definitely bring that up so they can

actually see if they can actually add that to your income to help you qualify

for your mortgage.

Oh I didn't know that, that you could actually use your

overtime, your bonuses actually help you qualify. I thought it was just you know,

your set salary or your hourly wage.

Oh that's a great question, so a lot of

people unfortunately maybe don't realize that right, they do want to take a look

at it over time but you do want to take a look at it over the two years, like I

said they want to look at consistency so if you're consistently working over time

over a two-year time period they will take an average of the two years to see

does this make sense, same with bonuses if you're consistently

getting bonus over to your time period they want to take a look into that

because all time is an added benefit to you like you've worked hard for your over

time or you've worked hard to get a bonus, banks will definitely take a look

at that and actually use that towards your income qualifying capabilities.

And if you want to know more about how much you can get qualified for a mortgage, check

out our video above. I guess the last question I have is, does either for

self-employed or a salaried workers, how about low income or kind of bad credit,

how does that impact the ability to qualify?

Yeah another-- another great

question Karl, so low income unfortunately you're gonna have a harder

time with a repay-ability portion of what you're looking at borrowing so when

it comes down to having lower income there's just no other way around it right,

unfortunately you might want to look at maybe reducing your budget, maybe

find something that fits more into what you can qualify for so you can actually

have a comfortable payment. You can always look at getting a cosigner you

can look at doing these things but I always like to tell people is that

getting a cosigner might help you qualify for a higher mortgage but keep

in mind it's you at the end of the day that has to make that payment right so

if you're not comfortable making that payment and you feel like that budget is

just too much for you then maybe just kind of reduce it and then kind of see

in a couple years where you could move into something a little bit let's say,

smaller or cheaper and then you can actually build

up their savings and maybe you get a higher income in the future, you can

always upgrade later on right so don't ever, don't ever-- what we call just "money

pinch" to get into a home or become "mortgage poor", it's another term that we

like to talk about where most of your

budgeting is going towards your housing cost.

So, another thing that you brought up was poor credit. So poor credit

definitely impacts right so when it comes down to credit we kind of-- the

bank's look at that as character. We will look at to see if you have made a

promise to pay right, having a credit card is a promise to pay having a loan

or a line of credit is a promise to pay, same ways as a cell phone and if you're

late on your payments or you have a major payment you haven't really lived

up to your obligations or your promise so when banks are looking at lending

they aren't going to look at your credit to see do you keep your word, do

you-- are you on top of your payments because that could really impact if they

want to lend to you, maybe you won't stay on top of your payments so a lot of

great things but it doesn't mean that if you made a mistake in the past that it's

over, no banks will actually look into that if there is a certain scenario that

kind of makes sense and you explain to them it could be in a one-off situation,

they would a hundred percent consider that as well. Also if you have made some

mistakes in the past, now you worked hard and better at your credit or working to

better your credit, banks will also take a look at, they'll also give

you a second chance or a second review once your credit gets better so

it's just-- it's not-- the end of the day if you have some basics in the past it's

always trying to show the bank or the lender or the specialist that you are

working hard in making that right.

Last question in terms of self-employment though,

does it matter if you've set up a corporation or you've set it up your as

like, sort of your own business?

Yeah, good question. So there are definitely

benefits of both right, to see, but we would-- we would

definitely take a look at your employed "sole proprietor" as we call it

or being incorporated as what Karl had mentioned and then have different

requirements. It's very lengthy and detailed to go

into kind of right now but definitely if you're one of those two scenarios,

definitely speak to your lender and they can explain to advise you which policy

is best based on that for you, which

self-employed policy is gonna help you get qualified and definitely talking

about something we call add backs or business financials and stuff. Have that

conversation with them and they can advise you exactly which route to take

for the most easiest approval.

Perfect. The question I have for you is, are you

self-employed and if you are, did you run into any issues

regarding getting approved for a mortgage? Let us know in the comment

How To Build Confidence And Self-Esteem For Yourself - Duration: 3:03.

Among the endless social media jungle that we live in, it has become increasingly easy

to get lost in a sea of comparisons as we are bombarded by ads subtly telling us all

the ways that we are just not "good enough".

Now one of the damages that can occur as we ingest so much information through social

media is that it can really take a toll on our self-esteem, our own confidence in our

decisions and overall belief in ourself.

How do you fight back?

How do you stand on your own two feet and build real, bulletproof, powerful confidence

in your own life?

Here are three powerful ways that I have found to be the most effective and powerful

building blocks to start to increase your sense of self-esteem and confidence right

now.

Number one, prime yourself first thing in the morning upon waking.

Before you check your phone, laptop, or any electronic device, give yourself at least

10 minutes to just check in with yourself.

Write down a few things you're grateful for, some things you're proud of, down to the simplest

things.

"I'm proud of myself for holding that door for the old lady yesterday.

I'm grateful for that 10 second conversation with that dude on the bus.

I'm grateful for my breath.

I'm grateful for my health."

Anything you can think of.

What this does is it invites you to immediately remind your brain to be on the lookout for

anything to appreciate, both internally and externally, from the second you wake up.

Over time, this builds an increasingly skilled ability to take in and assess the external

world with more discernment so you can start to filter out the nonsense and only allow

in what is congruent with yourself.

In turn, you become more in control and conscious of your thoughts, which inherently leads to

an enhanced feeling of confidence and self-esteem.

Number two, activate your body and mind every day.

This really goes in tandem with number one.

The amount of ways that we are willing to take care of ourselves is directly proportional

to the amount that we can increase our confidence and overall sense of self-esteem.

Whether that looks like five or 10 minutes of a good book or going for a quick walk or

even five pushups in the morning, all of these things will immediately make you feel better.

Three, get to know your values.

This is everything.

If you take one thing from this video, please let it be this.

When we take the time to discover a deeper understanding of our core values in regards

to life, career, relationships, health, we're building a stronger and stronger basis for

ourselves of what we stand for.

Every action we take is in service of fulfilling an unfulfilled value, even if it's a value

that's operating at a subconscious level.

The more we can get in tune with what those values are, the more consciously we can take

control of every one of our actions, and in turn, that builds more faith and confidence

and self-esteem in ourselves.

If you want to start building real, bulletproof, internal confidence right now, start taking

action on these three steps, and let me know what happens.

Feel free to leave me a message, hit the like button, subscribe.

If you know anybody that could benefit from some support on this topic, please share the

video.

Let's pass along the good vibes.

My name is Stevie Chow, and I'm here to help you discover clarity and confidence in carving

out your own lane.

Much love.

Shawn Mendes Had a Fan Design His Self-Titled Album Art - Duration: 2:57.

-Congrats. This is your album right here,

self-titled, "Shawn Mendes."

And -- [ Cheers and applause ]

I love the art. I love this album cover.

-Thank you. -What's the story behind this?

-Um, actually, a fan designed that.

-Is that right? -Yeah. I was --

I mean, I've basically asked my fans

to design tattoos and artwork, and they're so creative.

They're much more creative than I could be when it comes to art.

So, yeah. -That's fantastic.

-Yeah. It's really, really cool.

-It's your third number-one album.

-Yeah. -Debuted at number --

Dude, I mean -- [ Cheers and applause ]

And you're a baby. -I am a baby.

-You're a baby. -I'm still a baby.

-You're still a baby. -I know.

-Sorry, I mean -- And it's a phenomenal record, man.

-Thanks, man. Thank you. -I love everything.

You know what I really like? And this is --

I like that there's different genres of music.

-Yeah. -On this album.

It's not all just the same song 10 times

or something like that.

-Genuinely what I realized while making the album is that,

I don't listen to one genre.

I'm, like, listening to, you know --

-I guess so. -Somebody like Mayer

in the morning, and I'm listening to Top 40 radio

in the afternoon, and Kanye at night.

And it's, like, all these different artists.

And they're kind of all coming together.

An artist really is just a culmination

of all of the other artists they listen to.

-Yeah. That's interesting.

-And I was like, "There's nothing wrong

with making an album that is colorful."

I think that's what people want nowadays.

I hope that's what they want. -Yeah, of course.

It was like -- [ Cheers and applause ]

Yeah, I was thinking about that, 'cause you're like,

"Oh, what's your favorite type of music?"

It used to be, you know, when I -- when I was your age...

-Yeah. [ Laughter ]

-...I used to be like, "Oh, I like rock music."

-Don't get me started on the age again.

-Or I like -- No, I'm sorry.

-Yeah, you would say, "I like rock music," yeah.

-"I like this music."

-Now you say, "I love..." -Music.

-Yeah, "I love music. I love this artist

and this artist," and they're on

two different sides of the world, which is so cool.

-Tell me about this weekend. Are you excited for it?

Global Citizen? -Oh, dude, I'm --

I knew Global Citizen was an incredible festival,

but it wasn't until I actually met the founder --

And he kind of walked me through everything that they do.

I'm thrilled. -What do they do?

-Like, it's such a broad spectrum of incredible things.

But, basically, this weekend, I'm gonna be --

and from now on -- I'm gonna be focusing on education.

And, simply, the main goal is to be able to provide education

for children, especially girls, across the entire world.

[ Cheers and applause ]

-Good for you. -Yeah, provide education

for them for up to 12 years, free, and quality education.

And it's really easy to get involved.

[화양연화 더노트 SELF버전 해석] 윤기의 추가된 비밀과 결말!? BTS HYYH THE NOTES 방탄소년단 Answer 궁예 2탄 Theory l 수다쟁이쭌 - Duration: 5:46.

Hi, my name is SUDA JJ

Today we will analyze the BTS [HYYH THE NOTES: SUGA] through three themes.

[LOVE YOURSELF Answer] When you buy an album, it contains a mini book.

That mini book is [HYYH THE NOTES SELF version].

Through the [HYYH THE NOTES] theory that I had done on my YouTube channel, you will know the content.

This time [HYYH THE NOTES: SELF version], I want to let you know about the added theory.

I will give a preliminary explanation for those who have not seen my theory yet. Many of the BTS content shares [BU Wolrd View].

[BU World View] is how Marvel's MCUs share a world view.

It is [HYYH THE NOTES] that the story that constitutes [BU world view] is written.

BTS music video can also be seen as a part of [HYYH THE NOTES].

To help you understand the SUGA, we will reinforce the SELF version on the existing timeline and look at the second theme together!

September 19, 16

Returning home, SUGA finds a fire in the house.

SUGA remembers that Mom is in the house, but he replies to those who are too surprised and embarrassed to ask, "Who is in the house?"

So SUGA thinks she has killed her mother.

So, SUGA's lighters are the cause of fire.

However, if a fire occurs with cigarettes and lighters that SUGA smokes, then he should not smoke anymore, and SUGA still smokes.

[LOVE YOURSELF] By the time he goes to the series, he is stripped of cigarettes and lighters.

What happened to this?

May 28, 19

"What is your dream," Jung-guk asks. SUGA said, "I do not dream. I'll just be someone. "

June 12, 19

High school student SUGA escapes with BTS members before the end of the school day.

V and J-hope point to the sign of the 'Flower Arboretum' and go there. SUGA sees Jimin afraid of seeing the sign.

So SUGA says it is time to go to the sea instead of the arboretum because of the weather.

June 15, 20

SUGA plays the piano with JUNG-GUK at the azit. When their teacher who opened the door hits JUNG-GUK's cheek, SUGA rebels against the teacher and protects him.

SUGA is attacked by his teacher instead of JUNG-GUK.

June 25, 20

SUGA, who rebelled against his teacher, will not go to school for ten days and will be expelled.

SUGA kept a half-burned key in a house that was ruined by a fire four years ago.

He throws the keyboard out of the window, which reminds him of his mother playing the piano.

SUGA tries hard to spend time with a father who has to meet time and discipline.

But he does not have the courage to run away.

SUGA now decides not to play the piano again.

April 7, 22

SUGA, who is drunk, goes to the musical instrument point, recalling the childhood nightmare along with the sound of the piano.

He finds JUNG-GUK sitting there in front of the piano.

SUGA thinks that they are not confident to be meaningful to someone.

April 11, 22

JUNG-GUK While he was thinking about suicide on this roof railing, SUGA called him.

SUGA gets in touch with J-hope, meets with JUNG-GUK and then goes to the container.

There, SUGA meets J-hope, V, and RM.

May 2, 22

At the RM's venue, JUNG-GUK dreams of rescuing SUGA when he fires and tries to commit suicide.

But that was not a dream.

SUGA is not understood by her father, so she burns the sheets to commit suicide, and JUNG-GUK rescues SUGA from the fire.

May 19, 22

SUGA comforts Jimin who does not have the courage to go to the flower arboretum at the bus stop, and goes there together.

May 25, 22

SUGA takes the lighter to the girl's junior in the studio, and receives candy and t-shirts.

June 8, 22

SUGA, who is looking for a cigarette and a lighter, realizes that she has been taken by a girl. He pulls out a cigarette hidden in the corner, checks a text message from a junior, breaks a cigarette, and laughs.

June 15, 22

SUGA who heard JUNG-GUK traffic accident news from Jimin goes to hospital where JUNG-GUK is lying. But he comes back out of the hospital.

SUGA, who is drunk, goes on her own way, saying, "Do not worry about your girlfriend catching her arm.

July 29, 22

SUGA remembers having abandoned her mother's piano keyboard when she was expelled.

After that, SUGA tries to give up the music and finds out that it will restart the music every time.

SUGA thinks he wants to play the piano and realizes that he is a cowardly coward, pretending to be strong.

SUGA decides not to run away and wants to complete his melody through the instrument.

Through SUGA's timeline theory, let's take a look at the third theme in the series [LOVE YOURSELF] to tell us what you want to say!

There are several timelines in [BU World View], not just one.

For example, in [THE NOTES] V, who killed his father in [I NEED U], appears to be willing to kill.

The reason is that JIN keeps trying various possibilities to minimize tragedy with TIME Leap.

SUGA has a traumas that lost her mother due to the fire, and a burning piano symbolizes her mother.

SUGA's first love is the piano and mother.

[LOVE YOURSELF] In the previous [BU Worldview], the first [Spring Day] child of Omela was SUGA, not Jung-guk.

So it is not his fault that SUGA's house and piano were burned, but JIN, who played Time leap, burnt down SUGA's house.

If JIN had to sacrifice one person to stop her tragedies, the first of six possibilities to sacrifice was 'SUGA Mother's Piano'.

The problem was not only the piano but also the mother of SUGA, who died in an accident, and SUGA, who knew nothing, became unhappy with his blame.

SUGA is also expelled to protect Jung-guk.

In [HYYH THE NOTES], the reason is that JIN has spied on the principal and informed the members of the BTS.

SUGA, who lost a lot, tries to kill himself by suicide.

Having learned all this, Jung-guk is pleased to accept his misfortune as a child of the second OMELAS who rescues SUGA.

For SUGA's happiness, Jung-guk could do anything.

After a Jung-guk traffic accident, JIN returns time and gives SUGA the chance to hit the piano again.

The love with SUGA's female junior who is symbolized as 'guitar' was FAKE LOVE made by JUNG-guk's sacrifice. So SUGA acknowledges the burning false world by breaking down the guitar and crashing.

However, [LOVE YOURSELF Answer] is released and SUGA's junior who left the guitar in the SELF version of 'HYYH THE NOTES' has left, but SUGA will sit in front of the piano again.

Every time a crucial moment, SUGA is confronted with honesty this time.

Growing up SUGA is through LOVE MYSELF, who loves herself.

In [BU Worldview], SUGA has gone through terrible things, abandoning her mother's piano keys, and attempting to break her own life.

But he comes back to the piano again.

And he wants to complete his own music.

He cheers for his happy music.

So far we have analyzed [HYYH THE NOTES: SUGA] together.

Next time, SUDA JJ will come up with better news.

Thank you!

Should You Self-Publish Your Book? - The Pros & Cons - Duration: 6:07.

- Hello everyone, my name is Mandi Lynn.

I'm the author of the fantasy novels Essence and I am Mercy

and thriller novel She's Not Here

and also the creator of AuthorTube Academy.

And we are four days away until the release of this book.

So how are we celebrating today?

Well we are gonna be talking about

the pros and cons to self publishing.

(uplifting music)

So hopefully you are watching this video

if you're trying to decide whether

you would like to traditionally publish

or if you would like to delve

into the world of self publishing.

So there are many pros and cons to self publishing

just like there are many pros and cons

to traditional publishing.

Today I have much experience with self publishing

and I also am friends with a few

traditionally published authors.

So I have kinda gotten the grip

on what is the good and the bad

and that is what we're gonna be talking about today.

So let's get the bad stuff out of the way

and start talking about the cons of self publishing.

So this one is pretty obvious,

but you have to pay for everything.

So without the support of a publisher

everything comes out of your paycheck.

So this means you are the one paying for the editor,

the cover designer and the marketing

and any book events that you may want to go to.

Now you can write off these expenses when it comes to taxes,

but it's still an expense

and you still gotta come up with the money.

Con number two is that the distribution is smaller.

So this can change from author to author

and also depending on who you use to distribute your books

if you only use CreateSpace you're a little more limited.

If you use IngramSpark you are a little more unlimited.

But it is harder to get your book into bookstores

when you are a self published author

although it is not completely impossible.

Con number three is that you get fewer sales.

So this again is not necessarily true,

it depends how you market your book

and how big your platform is.

If you have a large platform, you may be better off

than some traditionally published authors.

But if you have a small platform,

you are gonna make fewer sales.

But it all comes down to how much work

and effort you throw into it.

And the last con I'd like to talk about

might actually be the biggest con is that anyone can do it.

So that is also a pro, but the con to that

is just the fact that because anyone can do it

literally anyone can do it.

Which means sometimes the books

that are published aren't the best.

Now a lot of people seem to think

that self published authors,

their books just weren't good enough

for the traditionally published world

and while that is not necessarily true,

the bad self published books that are out there

kinda ruin the reputation for the good self published books.

I would like to consider my book a good self published book,

but I would be lying if I said

people haven't looked down at me because I'm self published.

I say if you hold yourself

like a traditionally published author,

if you present yourself like one

and you throw as much effort into it

and you make yourself look like one, you are fine.

So there is a whole flooded market

of bad self publishing book,

but in that market is also

the very good self published books

and that's what you want to be

and that's what you want to aim for.

So now that we've gotten the cons out of the way,

let's talk about the pros of self publishing.

Pro number one is my favorite one

and that is that you have complete control.

So this is the number one reason I am self published

because this is the first thing you lose

as a traditionally published author and that is control.

You don't get to choose the cover,

you may have a little bit of say,

but you probably won't have a lot of say.

You don't get to decide where the book is gonna be sold

or how much that book is gonna be sold for.

You don't get to decide what events you go to

or how many signings you have a year.

But when you're self published,

you get to decide all those things,

you can go to as many events as you want,

you can sell your book wherever you want,

you can set it for whatever price you want

as long as you're able to logically do it yourself,

as long as you have the budget and the means,

you can do whatever you want.

Pro number two is that you get to take all the credit

so this means if your book is wildly successful

you get to take all the credit

and you get to give yourself a big pat on the back.

Now that is not to say that when you're self published

you do it all alone,

if you ever look at the acknowledgements sections

of a self published book there are a lot of people involved

in the publication of a book.

But for the most part, it was all you,

or in this case me.

And pro number three might be the biggest pro

for some people is that you get a bigger chunk of the money.

So when you are self publishing

you're the only one who gets the royalties.

When you're traditionally published the royalties

kinda get split up between the whole team of people

that helped publish the book.

So when you're self published you make a few bucks a book

when you're traditionally published,

I don't know how much you make a book, but it's not as much.

So as long as you sell a ton of books

when you're self published

you could actually make more money self publishing

than you would traditionally publishing.

So those are my pros and cons to self publishing.

2 What is Self Accountability - Duration: 3:57.

SHANNON: At its core, self accountability is

looking at yourself, looking at your

values and your choices, and seeing are those,

the choices that you're making every day, to see if those are

aligned with your values. So you're

trying to say, you know, did the choices I make today, align with who I

want to be? And there's always going to be a gap between that, because we're

never our perfect visions of ourselves. But that, you know, if there's something

that I did that's fundamentally outside of who I want to be and what my

values are, self accountability gives me a tool to be able to look at that and

say like, oh that's not who I want to be. What do I need to do to clean that up?

What do I need to do to take care of that? And that each of us

building that individual skill is actually how we collectively get to a

place where we can create communities where accountability is possible for

other people.

KIYOMI: That might be a concept that is a bit of a shift for people. When

we talk about accountability we're so used to talking about accountability

meaning like, I'm gonna go get that person who did something wrong and

accountability is gonna happen to them. And I've heard you talk a lot about how

that can be kind of a setup. And so I'm just curious about sort of that shift

to self accountability. Why (and you started to talk about it), but why is

self accountability the focus there, in addition for survivors but also

for anyone?

SHANNON: Yeah, self accountability is essential in my opinion, because it is so

common for people to want to rush to holding other people accountable. People

are so much more comfortable to say, how can I hold that person over there

accountable? And in my experience, no one wants to also be held accountable by

someone who's not doing their own work. And that self accountability is the

building block for accountability on a community level. People get very

interested in the how of self accountability. And I think this is one

of those things that's simple but not easy. There isn't sort of, like a magic

answer, that if you just did this one new thing it would solve all of the problems.

It's much more a set of skills and tools that people are already using. I think

it's essential to have some kind of daily practice.

And that practice can look like lots of different kinds of things. For me, that's

dancing, that's movement, that is hanging out with my friends, hanging out with my dog. Also

one of the things that I do to support myself in in the task of being

responsible for my choices, in this task of self accountability is to

look and see you know, were there things I said and did today that were

outside of my values? And then to be reflecting on are there things I need to

do to clean that up? So that might just be like, hey I was rude to you yesterday.

I was short, I'm sorry. That was not who I want to be. Sometimes it's,

there are bigger things. And often when there are bigger things I find it really

essential to get help from my loved ones, from the important people in

my life, and particularly someone who's not involved in the situation. Because

it's really hard to see things when you're inside of them. It's hard to see

the answers to something that's really up close to you. So getting support from

folks, having a daily practice of, kind of reflection of whatever that looks like, I

think are some of the core pieces. And frankly, you could probably spend your

lifetime just practicing those, and get pretty far. Sometimes there's an idea

of like, just because you practice it a lot it should feel easy. And it's not.

It's hard. And the work of it is turning, is turning back towards it

over and over again. And so it's like, oh that wasn't exactly what I want to do,

let me try again. And so it's instead of being perfect,

it's just continuing to try to do your best approximation of who you want to be.

-------------------------------------------

3 Self Accountability and Survivors - Duration: 5:12.

KIYOMI: What can accountability offer people who have been harmed,

or survivors of violence particularly?

SHANNON: One of the things that I have seen be very common with

many people who've experienced domestic and sexual violence, there's a sense of a

disempowerment. There's a sense of like, I didn't get to make choices about myself,

my body, and my life. And that is very confusing and overwhelming to people. And

one of the things that I think can be so valuable about self accountability is it

can be the strategy of looking at where you can get to make sense of that

experience without having to reconcile with another person who's done harm to

you. So you don't have to go to the person who's done harm to you and say

like, you know, and be on the same page, so try to reconcile that together. You

actually get to look inside yourself and say like, you know, what was going on for

me? What do I need to heal? What do I need to move forward? Are there different

things I need in my life in order to get the support that I need? And so I think

it provides people a really powerful tool for healing without having, without

having some of that external validation that's so rare for so many survivors.

KIYOMI: One thing that I know comes up sometimes when we're talking about self

accountability is sort of this idea that self accountability is somehow a way of

like, putting the blame back on survivors. Could you speak to that a little bit?

SHANNON: For many survivors, they have, in my experience, a complex understanding of

what their role is in surviving. I think particularly when it comes to domestic

violence that's, that pattern of power and control, the long term - just how,

what a long span that domestic violence and the harms can happen in - it makes for

a really complex landscape to understand what happened. And because domestic

violence happens in the context of a relationship,

many, many survivors of domestic violence feel like they did have a role, feel

like they made choices at certain times. And so telling somebody that feels like

they made choices to move towards a relationship that wasn't serving them

that it wasn't their fault and that they never, they didn't have any role in

that often just doesn't even ring true for survivors. And so sometimes I think

this tool of self accountability can actually be a little bit more honest way

to approach survivors. To say you know, you made decisions in the

context of a shitty situation. You had bad choices all around and you made the

best choice for you in that moment. Or maybe you made not the best choice for

you in that moment. And getting people to understand how they, what choices they

made, how they navigated that, how they survived.

KIYOMI: I think a lot about the different ways that survivors make choices

and how we're already limited in

terms of economics, in terms of immigration status, in terms of

transphobia and homophobia and all the different ways that our choices are

limited. And then we're making choices sort of within that.

SHANNON: People do lots of different things in the course

of surviving. Sometimes that's stuff

that like, you get really praised for as being strong. And sometimes people do

things in the course of surviving that they do not feel proud of, that they

would never want to tell anyone, that is not who they want to be in the world. And

people feel profound shame around that. And it's really hard to heal when you

feel shame. And so you know, if you did something in the course of surviving

that is not who you want to be, that's not how you want to be in the world, it's

very, very powerful to have a tool for, to look at that without it being used

against you. And so you know, when I talk about self accountability, especially for

survivors, I actually think it's essential to do that not with the person

that was harming you. That's not a task you're going and saying like you know, I

lied to you in the course of surviving and that wasn't right. Like, I think

that's something people do for themselves, to reconcile like you know, I

lied in the course of surviving and that was not who I wanted to be, but I did

that because it was not safe for me to be my true, honest self. So few people

really understand how domestic violence works. People really believe that

domestic violence is the moment that one person hits another, or that one person

yells at another, or one person degrades another person. Domestic violence is a

pattern of power and control that's like all the moments that you love each other

and things are so great and you feel seen and connected, and the moments that

are hard that you're staying up all night fighting, that physical violence

happens. All that goes into the pattern and that pattern slowly degrades

choices for survivors. And one of the things self

accountability does, it starts to give choice back. It starts to give a sense of

of autonomy. It starts to give a sense of self-determination that you, actually you

know, in order to engage in the task of accountability you actually have to have

a sense of autonomy. You have to have a sense of self. And that is why it's so, so

essential I think, when people understand the true harm of domestic violence. It

actually really helps understand why accountability, self accountability, is

such an important healing tool for survivors as well.

THANK YOU!

How to Be Free. by Joe Blow

Chapter 18.

Self-Acceptance and a Troubled World.

There are many problems in the world which often seem insoluble -

ecological collapse, poverty, war, political oppression and disease, to

name some of the obvious ones.

Many have made a great effort to fight these problems, but, at times, it

seems futile.

As with depression, sometimes it seems as if the more

we try to do something about the problem the worse it gets.

Psychology is a huge factor in these problems.

The key factor in our ecological problems is consumption, whether of

food, manufacturing materials, living space or energy.

Population is also crucial.

It's a case of how many of us there are and how much we

are using of which resources.

Our basic physical needs are, for most of us, a very small subset of what we consume.

Our psychological needs determine most of our consumption.

And, similarly, how many offspring we have is a psychological decision,

unless the condom broke.

Poverty is a symptom of a malfunctioning social system in which the

basic physical needs of some are not met because the resources

which could meet those needs are being directed towards satisfying

the psychological needs of others.

So ecological problems and poverty are highly dependent on

consumption, and this is something which varies according to our

psychological needs.

I'm not saying we should strive to consume less.

But when we are armoured we can't get as much enjoyment out of the

things that we have and therefore we need more.

And we are less flexible in what we chose to consume.

Materialism is a poor substitute for other more social forms of enjoyment.

When we are not locked up within ourselves we will find that we can

have more fun interacting with others - partying, creating, having sex - than

we can polishing our trophies.

When we felt worthless, our possessions told us that we were

not, but when we no longer feel that way, we will have little use for

many of them.

While there may be many specific contributing factors to war the

underlying driving force is neurosis.

The desire to use violence to change the behaviour of others is a symptom

of a divided self.

To directly protect ourselves when attacked is

a natural function of the healthy organism.

And it is natural to feel anger when we are treated

unjustly.

But to believe that we can improve our lot in life by invading

Poland, that killing people in a foreign land will make us safer at home

or that we can free ourselves from an oppressively hierarchical global

political structure by flying planes into the economic centre of the

nation at its peak, are irrational conclusions driven by the divided

individual's need to find a target for his or her self-contempt.

But, even if one does not accept this assessment, one

has to admit that someone who is not in a healthy psychological

state is not going to make good decisions in an activity as dangerous

and prone to backfiring as waging war.

Political oppression is something which is only easy to maintain when

the confidence of the majority of members of your society is

compromised by internal psychological division.

Tyrants may resort to murder and torture, but they are always outnumbered

when the population doesn't consist mainly of individual's

predisposed to submission.

Wilhelm Reich, in his book The Mass Psychology of

Fascism (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1933), put forward the theory that

the phenomenon of Naziism could only occur in a society which was

sexually repressive.

If there is some part of ourselves which we are not

accepting then this makes us vulnerable to manipulation and

intimidation.

This is also something which is understood by many

leaders of religious cults.

Encourage an individual crying out for acceptance to feel ashamed of masturbating

or desiring material goods and you can get them to do anything.

Great progress is being made in fighting disease, but it is still with us.

Now I would not claim that the emotional benefits of self-acceptance

are going to cure diseases.

But how well our bodily system can fight a curable disease or cope with an incurable

one depends on how well it is functioning.

And the repression of emotion through bodily armouring

places immense stress on the body and decreases its ability to deal

with problems.

And there is evidence that mood plays a tremendous role in making us susceptible to some diseases

and affecting our ability to combat them.

There is much anecdotal evidence of "faith healing".

While this can be a popular con job practised in some

religions, in other cases the results appear to be genuine.

Where this does occur the key is clearly not some magical

intervention by a cosmic spirit, but evidence of the role of

expectation on physical ailments in some individuals.

In a case discussed by Laurens van der Post in his book About Blady : A Pattern Out

of Time - A Memoir (Morrow, 1991), the faith was faith

in a surgeon, rather than a deity.

A doctor did an exploratory operation on a peasant and found

him to be riddled with cancer.

All he could do was sow him up again.

But the peasant thought the doctor, who very much impressed him,

must have removed the cancer.

When the doctor returned to the village a number of years later he found his

patient still alive and now cancer free.

And Wilhelm Reich, who believed that emotional and

sexual repression caused cancer and that sitting in one of his orgone

accumulators could cure it, found that it worked for some of his

patients.

Once again the results were probably due to the patient's

faith in Reich rather than the effectiveness of his accumulators.

The placebo effect, in which some patients get

better when given a sugar pill and told that it is medicine, is another

example.

The point is that, while a positive state of mind may not cure

an illness, it isn't going to hurt.

The other factor in dealing with all of these problems is our ability to

co-operate.

When armoured our ability to work together on problemsolving

is limited.

In our insecure state we are prone to find ourselves

in conflict with others and the process can be frustrating.

But in the non-armoured state, not only are we able to

co-operate in problemsolving, it becomes the most enjoyable activity imaginable.

What we really want is to be in a state of loving

communion with others.

We strive for something like this at parties

by getting together when relaxed and maybe reducing our inhibitions

with some alcohol.

The results are pretty variable.

But the point is that, in the un-armoured state, we are in a state of loving communion

with our friends all of the time regardless of what activity we are engaged

in.

Life, even a life of problem-solving, becomes a non-stop party.

Talking Type 1: Self-Image - Duration: 3:23.

I don't want Type 1 diabetes to control my life.

There's like, many layers.

Like, I'm a theater nerd now, I'm also a film nerd,

and I'm a diabetic.

And sometimes I forget that.

There are honestly some times where I just completely forget

I have diabetes and those times are my favorite times because I

feel like a normal kid.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

What does it do to your self-image just having

to battle diabetes every day?

On the bad days, you kind of see yourself as still,

like, I'm trying, you know, like I'm

still trying to be the best person

I can be with this disease.

But I think it's reassuring when I

meet others with type 1 diabetes to know that I'm not alone.

I think she's like a warrior.

There's nothing that she can't handle.

She's proven that to me over and over

again that she can just keep on going no matter

what the challenge is.

I look at myself the same.

You know, before I had diabetes, I kind of

remember what it was like.

But now I just have this whole other routine

that I have to do.

I couldn't imagine getting through this without my family,

you know, like my sisters and my mom.

They're constantly there all the time making sure I'm OK.

And even though they get annoying at times, I love them.

I see my kid as a champion because a lot of kids

can't do she do--

trying to control your carbs and know what

you got to do at certain times.

I just-- I call her a champion all the time.

I don't want type 1 diabetes to control my life.

There's many layers.

Like, I'm a theater now, I'm also a film nerd,

and I'm a diabetic.

And sometimes I forget that.

There are honestly some times where I just completely forget

I have diabetes and those times are my favorite times because I

feel like a normal kid.

Al's always been so fiercely independent,

not just with the diabetes, but just with everything.

Hopefully they know that while we can't really understand what

they're going through, we appreciate that what they have

is not an easy thing to deal with.

I want to be able to have a family

and be the healthiest version of myself

that I can be for the future that I see myself having.

I feel like I do a good job about truly feeling positive

about it and it's kind of given me a story

and that part I'm thankful for.

But, you know, sometimes I just wish that I was normal

and that I didn't have to worry about testing my blood sugar,

giving myself insulin, or going to sleep at night.

I hope she knows that I know how challenging it is for her,

but then again I don't know because I don't live with it,

and that I would do anything to take that from her,

even for a day, just so she could feel normal, you know,

without it.

Even though sometimes it feels like my parents are nagging

because they don't have the disease

and they might not understand, I don't understand

what it's like to have a child with Type 1 diabetes

and that would be pretty scary.

So I appreciate you.

Aww.

I love you.
