once again, you with brilliant thoughts and very similar to the way I see the world. Leaving our “comfort zone”, meeting people from different backgrounds than ours, is so incredible, inspiring and uplifting! I'm a world traveler, and whenever I can, I like to do volunteer work for people who are more needy and who live a much simpler life than me. This whole journey makes me a better person, increasingly proud of who I have become. I was able to see that being humble is one of the greatest qualities of a human being. Humble people, who don't think they are better than others, have big hearts and make a difference in this world.

@ThePatchUniverse День назад
Oh yes, thank you very much! That's right, and I want to do that more and more actually! You probably have travelled more than I did, which countries did you visit? I agree with you on that, I think we need to be humble and understand there is still so much more to learn, but we can also be proud of the good things we have achieved. I think that everyone has something unique to bring to the world and the humble part in us should encourage them, but the confident part should also embrace our own qualities.

In Brazil, I know 18 of the 26 states of this immense country. I agree 100% with your thoughts. Humble people know that, every new day, we learn a little more! And we are even wiser if we know how to learn from other people, exchange experiences and thoughts, without saying who is right or wrong, just learning and absorbing that new knowledge.

I loved this video, with your thought of the day. This reminded me of a book by Rutger Bregman, called “Humankind: A Hopeful History”. At one point in my life, I thought the vast majority of people were bad (I work in the corporate world of one of the biggest and richest cities in the world), so I decided to read this book that changed my way of thinking. Disconnecting from the internet and TV, and truly exploring the world is so good! Good actions only attract good things in our lives! We will never regret having done something positive for someone, even if they hurt us a lot. Thanks for this video, Christ. 😊

Oh thank you! Oh so you used to think that? So, reading that book changed your mind on that? I should read it at some point. Oh, what is your job actually?

That's right, that's what I think. It's funny that you whatched this video, I was going to make another video on "Poetryinstyle" on that subject, but I'm working a lot at the moment and don't know when I will be able to do it, probably Friday.

@@ThePatchUniverse I have worked for over 15 years in the corporate market. Today I work in a multinational company, in the pharmaceutical industry, but I have worked in other sectors such as a large bank as well… In my experiences, the corporate world is extremely aggressive, a lot of pressure, people wanting to “outwit” you at all costs, money and power override any human virtue. For me, as I am a sensitive person with feelings, it hurts me a lot to see and live in this scenario. That's why, when I read Rutger Bregman's book, I was able to see the world in a different way. In the book, the author brings countless and important research, a revolutionary and convincing argument and real examples that “we are programmed for kindness”, and everything bad that we see in newspapers and social networks, does not represent the large part of the population worldwide. I won't give any spoilers about the book, but I highly recommend reading it Another point I would like to say: if you have negative thoughts and actions, you will only attract more and more bad things and people into your life. When we have an open heart, focusing on the positive things in life, only then can we appreciate the small and good wonders of life! We are the ones who choose the plot of our lives! How do you want to write your story? With a negative or positive look? Do you see a glass half empty or a glass half full? Think about it!

We just say the names of our country of ethnic origin because everyone is an immigrant outside of like 2% of us that are Native American. We're doing it right, for us and our culture.

Yes, I understand, we were actually joking around with my friends there. To be honest I think it's really great to be proud of your origins and try to explore them, the only thing that annoys Europeans is when people say things such as "I am Irish", instead of saying "I have Irish ancestors" or "roots". Last year, as I was working in the chocolate shop, two American women told me their ancestors came from Belgium and I thought it was really great. I strongly encourage people to explore the country of their roots, I think it's great. Haha yes, I was also a Star Wars fan in the past, so I like that.

I was too young to appreciate the original movies and then I felt a little too old to watch 1,2,3 so it never really worked out. I have seen some of the films though, including the Force Awakens and I agree with you! I *hated* it! How could they kill off Han Solo???

From my perspective, school kills the curiosity and love of learning in children. They are meant to memorize "facts" that may or may not be true, in subjects that they are not interested in, from teachers with no passion for their subject matter. Kids develop an ability to do what they have to do to pass and then quite often forget everything afterwards. They grow up and lead bland lives because the juicy and exciting stuff of life was hidden from them when their brains were developing, so they don't even know it is there. If we are to solve this problem there are a lot of things that could be improved, like: • Re-evaluating what needs to be taught in school and what does not. • Shortening the length of time that learning takes, so that the quality of experience shines. • Giving children needed life skills, such as how to think instead of what to think. • Allowing them time to express their ideas and encourage healthy discourse. • Get kids out from behind desks and into whatever it is they are learning about. If it's a section on geese, for example, let the children check up on and observe how goslings are growing and developing over time. • When reading, do not use textbooks and instead require that it be done through primary sources, so that children are hearing about things as they happened to actual people. It is significantly easier and more memorable to read Anne Frank's diary for example than a soulless textbook with dry facts and dates. • In conjunction with my last two points, combine subjects together as they would be in real life. If you are learning about Ancient Rome, go all in. Dress the part, eat the food, listen to the music, watch and participate in the sports, make the art, read the folklore and philosophy, practice the Roman numerals, roleplay the conquests. • Offer a wide variety of electives that help the kids figure out what they like and what they might like to pursue in the future. • Have educators who are experts in their field who get excited about teaching others and make the experience memorable. • Etc.

The Harlem Renaissance was such a wonderful explosion of art and culture. Have you read his poem "I, too"? I think it is a nice companion to this poem. We do often defer our dreams, but "I, too" shows that determination and a solid sense of self will get you to your goals. When we are in that mindset with that focus, we are unstoppable. Also have you ever read anything from Countee Cullen? He was a contemporary of Hughes and a brilliant intellectual. He churned out a lot of great quality stuff.

Pride is interesting since we have to be careful to not have too much... maybe it's like Sugar? Hahaha I think you will always grow as a person because you actually want to. Many people reach an age and either don't care or believe they have no control over who they are. For me, I had a moment in my life where I was in a very dark place. I could not see all that I had in front of me and realised I was always chasing the future. The problem with that was I was ignoring the NOW. So even if I reached a Goal, the goal became now and I did not know how to appreciate it. I hope that makes sense. Glad you got a nice amount of views on this video as well. Well done.

You're very welcome my friend! Same here, I really enjoy our conversations, that's why I thought it was important to talk about your channel. Internet is a means of communication, but often used in the wrong way, if all users were like you, internet would be a better place. That's right, I agree. Sugar is a good example, especially that I'm pretty addicted to it and if I take too much of it, it gives me a headache. Pride is the same, it goes to your guts and your head, and not in a good way if you take too much of it. I think one of the problems with too much pride, or let's call it arrogance, is the inability to perceive other's people point of view and importance in the world. Thank you for that. That's right, I've noticed a lot of arrogance among elderly people when they should be wiser, they have that attitude "I have lived more than you." while forgetting that one day they were our age. Oh yes, I think I remember you talking about that on your other RU-vid channel, I think you also talked about the importance of humility, and I fully understand how that can lead you to a dark place. The future is important and so it's important to chase it, but it's equally important to remember to chase the future so it can one day be the present moment, so it makes sense to me that it made you unhappy, the future and even the past, have their role to play, but happiness only lies in the now. Yes, that makes a lot of sense actually, but you are also always learning and now I assume you enjoy the present moment more than before? Thanks a lot! That's right, I noticed this video got a few more views than the others. I actually make videos to have conversations to a few friends like yourself and record my thoughts, evolve them through conversations, the views are a bonus, but if they lead to more such conversations, then it's really great. Thanks a lot, I hope this job will work, but you are right, if not, there will be others. Thanks a lot, happy 2024 to you too my friend!

Hello everybody! So today I wanted to introduce all of you to my new RU-vid channel PoetryInStyle because as I said I'd like to try something more focused and more professional. Professionalism doesn't necessarily have to do with making money with something, but more the aim and the purpose and the work-ethic that you put into certain actions. Poetry is a very important topic for me, I can say that it saved my life quite a few times, or at least it helped me in giving it meaning when I felt worthless. It gave me focus and purpose. Creating this channel will also be a way for me to explore this subject deeper. Poetry is a very niche subject and one that I personally believe to be wildly misunderstood, so even if you are not that into poetry, I would appreciate if you could check a few of the videos I will post on that channel. I haven't posted anything yet, but will do so soon. Here is the link to my new RU-vid channel : www.youtube.com/@PoetryInStyle-ng4kz/featured

I fully agree with what you are saying about people being horrible online being polite in real life, that's why I mentioned empathy. I'd like to elaborate on that a bit more but I do believe that if we tried to understand people around us, even people who hurt us, then the world would be a better place. I failed at that many times and keep on failing, but I have to try. I've hurt people too, and I'm trying to become a better person.

I would enjoy hearing a few examples of how authors have transported you to the universe they've created. How do you envision the imagery of their words? I see vague pictures sometimes of environments, like loose concept art. I get a feeling of character and when they're well presented in prose they feel real enough that they could be real, making me care about what happens. And the reverse is true, when a character or event seems cliche then it's like i see the edges of the page, they feel paper thin and discardable.
@ThePatchUniverse
@ThePatchUniverse Год назад
I'm really happy that you are asking this question. That's the main reason why I make videos, to open up discussions and learn more about others and myself. I also see vague pictures lf the environment, and I also need to connect to the character to care about the story, otherwise it's really hard for me to turn the pages. It's not so about cliche or not, but whether they feel real to you or not, if you can communicate with them in other words. After that the world is seen through their eyes and that's how we can enjoy or appreciate it. Ayesha, the book I showed there is a very good example of that, I found myself really caring about what happened to the characters and therefore I feel transported by the story. The characters felt really alive, their evolution felt natural and I recognized myself in it, which made me care. There was another book I read years ago, where crazy injustices happen from the beginning of the book, but everything seemed to make sense within the framework of the universe, and while there were characters being absolutely awful, others had a protective attitude and were full of good intentions..the contrast I saw there, which can be observed in the real world, made me connect so deeply to the whole universe. I remember reading a hundred pages every night. I will give a last example, because I could give quite a few actually, the robot trilogy from Isaac Asimov, with Elijah Bailey and R.Daneel Olivaw, the building of this incredible yet improbable friendship, which made them both evolve as characters and which really serve the story, made it incredible to me. Do you have examples like that? Or maybe examples of books you couldn't connect with?
@woodchi
@woodchi Год назад
That's interesting that, for you, you need to feel that you can communicate with for them to be real.
@woodchi
@woodchi Год назад
Yeah, once you feel the characters are real then you can care about what happens to them, that's pretty key.
@woodchi
@woodchi Год назад
It's great to find a true page turner, a story that draws us back to it to find out more. It really does revolve around caring about the characters but for me the world also is a character and the connection between the characters and the world has to be there. The world needs to feel like it continues living after the character has passed through, not just something to see the character or the immediate story. If it is uninteresting or generic then i lose interest as well.

Sometimes words don’t come up or it’s just hard to convey an idea. So well done for trying and doing it anyway! Imao, reading is an intimate process between the reader and the writer when you get to go under someone else’s skin and perspective on things and life; even in fiction stories. And unlike movies, you get to make your own pictures of how things could be or look like. Definitely a healthy and inspirational thing to do ! :)
@ThePatchUniverse
@ThePatchUniverse Год назад
Yes, thank you very much for that, I appreciate what you are saying. I figured it was better to communicate rather than not communicate. That's right, with reading you can go really deep into the inner thoughts of a character, the universe,... and you build your own images in your head. I think what makes it really intimate as well is how you can see a lot of the writer's personality in the way they describe the universe, the characters, the write dialogues,... there are reasons why the universe and the rest was written in a certain way.
