Terence pop here with another episode of
[Applause]
the let me be reading uh the second
stance the Warriors away Soldier soul
uh ideally what I'm trying to do here is
cover every portion of this book
so down the road it's available to all
you dudes out there
because in my opinion very very
important there's a lot of people out
there navigating this world completely
rudderless
no Guiding Light nothing that is a
tragedy and I'm trying to correct that
here
wouldn't it be great to have pop as a
dad
well too bad we got the dads we got
still not everybody's dad was great let
alone good let alone present matter of
fact most of the problems we face today
are because we didn't have a dad
foreign and if men don't get these vital
lessons fathers used to pass on to their
children Our Lives will be wasted
thankfully these lost lessons have been
conveniently recompiled in a course by
Aaron Clary titled the dad you never had
covering everything from life's purpose
defeating laziness developing a work
ethic personal finances career
management women retirement planning and
much much more the dad you never had
compiles the fatherly wisdom of red pill
creators such as Rola tomasi Rich Cooper
Aaron Clary and even pop himself into an
intense and thorough 12-hour course it's
the easiest and quickest way to get up
to speed and get on with living life
it's no substitute for a real father but
it is the wisdom and advice you need to
manage your life successfully and end
the misery fatherlessness has reeked
upon your life and Society so get the
road map to a better life take the dad
you never had today your life is just
too precious not to available on
teachable.com use the discount code Mike
is cool to get 10 off link is in the
meat gazer box
a shortcut only turns a rectangle into
two squares or a square into two
triangles that is it the explanation I
have no patience for linear thinkers we
live in a line already because we are
constrained by time
we must pass by point a to get to point
B just to get the point C
so on and so forth
people add more linear crap to this our
obtuse and live in a foolish mindset
always strive to cut corners
and make every action you do more
streamlined if you can remove points
or jump points then by all means do so
remember there are no rules so they can
kiss your ass
don't take anything personal if you are
reprimanded or punished for doing so
most of those
you encounter here on Earth are mere
mortals and they're not capable of
understanding this simple lesson you
will know you become good at this when
you always have a nonchalant way about
you and all you say and do this is
outside the writing so I'm just going to
cover this point right here when I was a
young Hua
I came across the sergeant who's in E6
and no matter what was put before this
man death sickness whatever always even
Keel stoked to the Core
and just being in that mindset will help
you out in life because it will draw
people to you
because you become a Pillar of Strength
In The Rise life and your duty will
become easy as you get good at this if
you mess something up by jumping a point
then you got caught you got caught
because you made a mistake it's okay
they happen just try harder to not have
them in the future thus you didn't try
hard enough the key to becoming a good
adapter is always be right or have good
intentions about what you do if you take
a shortcut for your own selfish needs
they will almost always backfire and
crumble furthermore no commander in his
right mind
is going to punish you harshly for
taking initiative to complete a mission
or help someone else these qualities are
so rare amongst us hairless monkeys only
an idiot would quash it this mindset is
absolutely critical to being a good
leader
and once you've mastered it normals will
be jealous of you so watch out this is
the basis of professional jealousy
you make it look easy they have to work
hard
you're working just as hard as them
except you put up the illusion that it's
easier
see what I'm doing there now once you
decide to jump a point
you'll receive some sort of punishment
this can range anywhere from a court
martial to a simple ass chewing or God
help you a written counseling 90 of the
time it'll be a simple remark about
performance be a good bad so what the
remaining punishments can get steeper so
be prepared for it when you do such
things 98 of everyone you know or pass
by every day will not cross cross this
line and risk punishment of any kind we
are as a race cowards
and only leaders take these risks so be
the leader take the risk take the
punishment if you fail don't blame those
around you for your mistakes own them
accept them and grow from them if you
can do this
you will grow if you blame those around
you you will not
the key to success in life is to grow
those who blame usually are not liked or
respected and dare I say even hated so
what I'm trying to convey here is simply
this most of the time
when you take a shortcut and it's for
your own selfish gratification or what
have you probably not going to work out
well I've said this before and I'll say
it again life is about humility and
gratitude
and being open to the possibilities
most of the people you walk by don't
think like that
they're stuck in that linear thinking
they have to go through this to get to
that to get this to get to that
now there's technically nothing wrong
with that that is simply the way normals
conduct business but we have
billionaires out there who don't
do things linear they jump points they
cut out the chaff and the useless
bullcrap and they get to their goals all
right let's take for instance Elon Musk
that guy took a lot of risks did a whole
hell of a lot of shortcuts and the
motivation is basically the the electric
automobile
and putting together a space industry
which will change our way of culture in
this planet for ever if you're gonna
make shortcuts
make sure they're done for the right
reasons
try not to be selfish about it and
certainly
don't take short shortcuts to purposely
injure other people this is about you I
cover Revenge but that one doesn't
really uh pop up for another 16 of these
episodes
but we'll talk about revenge as well I
cover everything in this book anyway
uh hopefully you found this interesting
I know this is a little on the boring
side
and you know there's guys out there that
you know want the humor out of me I got
it
but uh there aren't a lot of comedians
out there with actual real world combat
experience who've seen War
uh who use comedy and
dare I say uh wisdom at the same time
[Music]
[Applause]
