I created this channel because I finally have time to work on giving back. I've spent years enjoying so much valuable content on RU-vid for free that I feel like doing what I can now to give back. I am starting with ASMR videos because ASMR has provided me so much peace and relaxation over the years. I hope that some of you are able to experience ASMR with my videos and they provide at least half of the comfort that I have received from ASMR over the years. I named my channel ASMR Reality because my videos are going to be me primarily talking about life as I see it. My worldview may be different than most but I hope it is intriguing and over time I can develop a relationship with some of you where we can discuss different views together.
As a white trash poor, it’s mind boggling to me how much money you can accrue just by having money. Nothing wrong with it, everybody in America can be playing the same game if they just do a little research. I do wanna say it’s very cool of you to be so upfront and honest about your money. Obviously, there are reasons not to be like that and I’m sure you understand them. But putting a face to those numbers makes an impact.
I started as pure white trash and did this all through hard work....I sacrificed all my youth to do this....no vacations...no wife....no kids....80 hour work weeks and not spending the money on stupid stuff...no video games...just raw hard core effort.
Certainly was not blaming the Lord...just expressing my issue with holding humans to an entirely different standard. Ultimately showing the lack of free will that we have.
I really like this little reading session you made. I just finished the last one tonight!! I had an idea for a video I've been thinking about getting a camry in a couple mouths I've been watching videos and such on them but I thought it'd be interesting if you give your thoughts an did a run down of the specs and just all the pros an cons seeing as you've mentioned how much you love yours it'd make a good video idea I think and I'd love to hear your input
I like this idea but I don't have a Camry. I did just recently buy a 1996 Acura NSX. I am definitely going to be doing a video about it and might just do my other cars too now.
Wow! What an inspiring and eye-opening book. Cannot wait to put all this advice to good use. Thank you, Derek, for taking the time and effort to share the entire book with us ❤ PS: If you have any other management book recommendations, I would love to hear them. In fact, it would be fascinating if you do a whispered/gentle tapping show and tell of your books 📚 😍
Person says something about the way I look....then chastises me for asking if they are referencing the way I look. LOL! Can't make this stuff up folks.
Those comments at the beginning made me smile and laugh out loud. Your positivity is positively contagious! Thank *you* Derek! Thank you so much. I see it's been said, but really, you're looking very sharp here. You seem happy. I'm truly glad for that. What a powerful thing to share with us.
I'm gonna guess... seems like Shane will be the one to end up selling the business because he'd rather be the one to negotiate deals and not have to be the one to have the hard conversations with his employees. Negotiations excites him, not being a CEO. That's just where it seems like it's heading to me. I'm invested, though. Nice read and really make you think about what role you would like to play when it comes to working. Do you really want to run a business, or would you rather be a key piece in the business?
I don't know that I could teach you how to do it without feeling responsible for your results. Its not easy. There are many online courses about how to do it on RU-vid. Its just so risky and I'm not sure that you couldn't find something much better to do that is much less risky. This is why I switched to just buying and holding rather than trading. Just way too stressful for me.
Well, my morning just became absolutely wonderful! Was snuggling in my chair by a sunny window with my cup of coffee and a management book, then I quickly went through my notifications, and there it was, session 3! My own book can wait for now... You're the best, Derek. Thank you for always standing up for your loyal listeners ❤
Im having a terrible day but ur asmr helps me alot so thank you for making these videos 😊 Btw my day is terrible because of 2 reasons, i got new meds and my body didnt react well so my blood pressure dropped and i got super tired and i didnt stay awake and then i got intense anxiety
This makes me sad. You have been so special because of all the extra work you put in trying to help me build this channel. I hate to hear that you are hurting. Hang in there, my friend. I need you!
@ASMRReality I'm feeling alot better because of this reply and also because of listening to the book because it got my concentration to the book instead of the anxious thoughts also I wanted to say that u remove my anexiety more than my meds and therapy together so I just wanted to say thank you alot for that 😊
I'm really loving this book! especially this chapter, mostly because I hold meetings all day with different teams around the world, and I always make sure they are efficient, exciting, and engaging. Would really like to hear the rest of the book, but I can understand if you decide not to continue due to views. I still think listening to you read is the best :) Ps. Let that doggy snore in peace! 😅
I'll read the rest of it. I have never finished a book before on here. These are not getting many views but the ones watching are closest to being like me so I will support the minority and carry on with this to completion. See you tonight and I will let Pearl do whatever Pearl decides to do tonight:)
Ironically, I find myself disliking Shay more than I find myself disliking Liam. Funny how that works. Great book so far, and thank you so much for the whispered narration!
Hi Derek, Thank you for sharing your perspective as no one in my sphere is really for this war or supportive of the Israeli government. I gained a lot of insight into how people on the other side of this are thinking. I would like to share a version of the story that you may not have seen/considered. Disclaimers: I have not been following the news very closely, so most of my knowledge of the situation comes from the occasional mainstream (usually leftist) coverage or from conversations with my friend living in Beershiva (about 25 miles from Gaza). I have two main ideas and re-imagining of your opening analogy. 1. Israel is divided. Netanyahu is a very controversial figure in Israel who staked his career on this war. Ending the war with anything less than total victory would mean the end of his political ambition. Alas, it seems less and less clear what victory could mean. As the war gets less popular - as families see their sons die and their tax dollars go to bomb schools - the goalpost to win back favor seems to shift. I believe this is part of the reason Netanyahu has been so reluctant to talk to Hamas leadership to negotiate for the hostages' release. Things are further complicated by the fact that, like in our war on terror, it is impossible to defeat an idea. You could kill every member of Hamas, but then anyone in the world could just stand up and declare themselves Hamas and begin plotting your demise! Given this bleak outlook, there are those in Israel who look to the US to end the war. In the past, similar conflicts have been resolved by a phone call - "Mr. Prime Minister, this is POTUS. Stop fighting or we're cutting your military aide." I believe that that is the outcome that protesters are hoping for. 2. Israel is an apartheid state. It is indisputable that Palestinians are a legally distinct second class of citizen. They have fewer property rights, expect random acts of violence from authorities and citizens, and have very little legal recourse. Obviously, the October attacks were evil. However, they did not spring from a well of baseless hatred and bigotry (well not solely). I do not think that future peace can be bought with blood or "a certain level of pain." Perhaps this is overly optimistic, but I think a path forward could involve addressing this imbalance in their laws. If not reparations, at least more equal legal rights and protections. Finally, I would like to return to Shannon and Christopher. As a thought experiment, I would like to imagine their story taking place in the Jim Crow south. Would their treatment be any less disgusting or vile? No, of course not. And obviously the people who did it should be punished. But would cracking down on the black communities surrounding the criminals prevent future violence or would it instead guarantee it? I apologize for my long-windedness. I would be interested to hear more of your thoughts if you feel like doing another video on it.
I must first confess that I consulted with an Israeli friend of mine for proper context in responding. first point - bibi is a controversial leader _mostly_ as presented in the media. there's a wealthy leftist 1% in israel that holds positions of power and since the judicial reform has been on the move they are scared shitless of losing their power, so they started rioting. the protests against the government are\were wildly covered by the news, its blown out of proportion and made it look like the majority of the population doesn't want bibi as a PM, but that is actually false. he was re-elected many times and is likely to get re-elected again because he represents the average israeli - center-right leaning. since october 7th, and this is very important, protests against the juidicial reform seemingly died down, people understood that what they were doing, tearing us apart, was only serving our enemies. so the judicial reform and the protest against it were shelved and the people reunited. but then the captives' families' protests started, calling to seal the deal at all costs (which is also a cause for divide, because if hamas demands releasing 3000 terrorists for our 100-something people back, it's definitely a problem. these terrorists aren't reformed model citizens now. they'll be back to slaughtering jews on the streets in no time.) so then what happened, the leadership of the protests against the judicial reform sort of "took over" the protests the captives' families were leading. they tried pushing their anti-bibi agenda, claiming he purposefully derails every attempt at making a deal for his own political survival, which is ridiculous. and theres also a huge gap between how bibi is perceived in the media and how hes perceived on the streets. when he walks among regular people they love him, im pretty sure that if we had elections today he'd get re-elected again. and he knows he has to finish this war or else the people will not choose him again, thats why he wont dare to hit the brakes now. to the outside observer it might look like israelies just really want revenge right now. we don't. we want a final solution, and not in the genocide type of way 😂 for 30 or even 40 years now the southerners have been suffering from rockets being thrown at them, and red alerts, and having to always run into bomb shelters. thats how they grow up, thats the kind of reality they brought babies into. its completely surreal. i can't even being to explain this to someone who hasn't experienced it. just imagine being in the shower then you hear the alert for an incoming rocket, you have 30 seconds to run into a bunker or a shelter. the people are fed up, especially because they keep comparing the south\and north (and dont even get me started on the north...lord almighty) to the center. one rocket falls in the center and everyone is shocked, its unfair bc the government let it happen down south for WAY too long. so now israelies want to completely change the equation. we want quiet everywhere - south, north, center. if the enemy dares to throw a rocket, doesn't matter where, they need to get it x10 worse because thats the only thing that'll teach them. second point - muslim israeli citizens get the same rights as other minorities and jewish israelis. in fact, in many places, especially in the world of academia and work places, they enjoy affirmative action. if you're referring to palestinians in gaza and west bank then they aren't considered israeli citizens, obviously, but israel is still providing them with jobs, allowing them to work here. unfortunately many times they use it to spy & support terror and\or actively engage in terror themselves. the majority of them (it is estimated between 65%-75%) would vote for hamas if elections were conducted even today, 10 months into the war, and lets not forget that the palestinian population gave birth to hamas, and not the other way around. hamas are the sons and husbands of palestinian women. As to the reference to Channon and Christopher, unfortunately, Hamas isn't just a group of 4 or 5 guys that we can send an elite mercenary squad to find and kill. They run the entire area of Palestine. All citizens are under their control. They are in all aspects, an enemy country and are being treated as one. Wish it were as easy as finding the responsible parties and bringing them to justice. Unfortunately that is not the case.
@@ASMRReality what a truly warped view your friend has on things. It's fascinating. I don't have time to dissect each point, but I would recommend seeking out alternative view points on this conflict. There will always be an Israeli version and a Palestinian version, the truth probably lies somewhere in-between.
Im sure Pearl sounds loud to you bcs youre in the same room. But shes so far from the mic. And her breathing is calming. Like a soft metronome.. i think that's the word😂
I hear you but the income will rise accordingly. In 10 years, McDonalds employees will be making $35 an hour and that $300k home will be worth $500k....its the only way the system can work. It breaks any other way and the powers that be will keep it going.
