- 0:01Speaker 1: The power of speech. If you translate from one language
- 0:09Speaker 1: or to a different language, you must be very careful
- 0:14Speaker 1: because translations are sometimes not the sign. Language is speaking
- 0:20Speaker 1: from a particular culture, a particular religion, religion or tradition,
- 0:26Speaker 1: and a particular customs or context, and you must learn language.
- 0:38Speaker 1: If you don't learn language, it would difficult to communicate
- 0:41Speaker 1: with humans, even when humans do think You're thinking in
- 0:50Speaker 1: itself is using a particular language to think. So, even
- 0:55Speaker 1: if when you're not out the words, your thought process
- 1:02Speaker 1: is ah made possible through a language. If you speak
- 1:13Speaker 1: multi languages, as I do, you discovered that every language
- 1:21Speaker 1: that you speak has a different thought process. If I'm
- 1:30Speaker 1: thinking through the French language, I cannot not think in
- 1:38Speaker 1: relative or in relations to the French language, the French culture,
- 1:42Speaker 1: and the French people. If I'm thinking through the English language,
- 1:50Speaker 1: I cannot not think of the Western world of America
- 1:56Speaker 1: or England, or Canada or Australia or other countries that
- 2:05Speaker 1: use language to think. So the language in itself and
- 2:14Speaker 1: determines the culture, and you must remember that. So to
- 2:26Speaker 1: be a sophisticated human being, you must learn languages. But
- 2:37Speaker 1: without the capacity to speak any particular language, Your chances
- 2:43Speaker 1: to excel in life is very limited. The more languages
- 2:48Speaker 1: you speak, the more problems you can solve, because sometimes
- 2:55Speaker 1: problems are culture specific. There certain problems that are endemic
- 3:02Speaker 1: in particular cultures and traditions and religions or people. When
- 3:08Speaker 1: they talk about the human being about the race, you
- 3:13Speaker 1: can see humanaging as one. But when they ask the
- 3:17Speaker 1: human being about origin, the origin, sometimes it's not actually
- 3:24Speaker 1: the physical body. The origin is where does your thought
- 3:30Speaker 1: process come from? What is the source of your thought process?
- 3:41Speaker 1: Where does it emanate? What is the basis or the
- 3:48Speaker 1: etymology of your thought process? It comes from a language.
- 3:57Speaker 1: If you grow up in a society that respect language,
- 4:03Speaker 1: that speaks language, and that I will articulate in language,
- 4:10Speaker 1: you always see a respectful person. God language have parts
- 4:14Speaker 1: of speech, right, You got the parts of speech. A
- 4:20Speaker 1: god is grammar. I got his phrase of verbs, he
- 4:25Speaker 1: got his intonation and accent, and it got a way
- 4:30Speaker 1: to say it to mean something. If you become a linguist,
- 4:39Speaker 1: you become a prolific speaker. The more you know you
- 4:45Speaker 1: learn language, the more power you have, the more dexterity flexibility,
- 4:55Speaker 1: the more wisdom you have. And unless you know of
- 5:02Speaker 1: a language, the more conflict and disagreement and fights you
- 5:09Speaker 1: have because people were constanting not understand what you say,
- 5:17Speaker 1: or do you choose not to understand what you say
- 5:19Speaker 1: because they know if you are limited vocabulary or understanding
- 5:24Speaker 1: of a particular language. As a child, before I started
- 5:34Speaker 1: primary school, I was given three things. The Bible to
- 5:42Speaker 1: teach me morals and wisdom, the Dictionary for me to
- 5:49Speaker 1: understand language and words to be able to express myself.
- 5:54Speaker 1: And a math of a mathematic textbook. I was given
- 6:02Speaker 1: the Bible, English, and math. I was giving wisdom, numbers
- 6:10Speaker 1: and words that's for governed society. And all this in
- 6:16Speaker 1: the self go in themselves expressed in language. When you
- 6:25Speaker 1: see an angry person, you know they can express themselves.
- 6:31Speaker 1: When you see an unhappy person, you know they cannot
- 6:35Speaker 1: express themselves. If you see a lonely person and that
- 6:42Speaker 1: person can express itself, you see a person that tried
- 6:46Speaker 1: to isolate themselves or exclude themselves from society. That are words.
- 6:54Speaker 1: The thing I need to prioritize the most in this
- 6:57Speaker 1: world is words. I write in my work that the
- 7:03Speaker 1: human being is born with three gifts, the gifts of numbers, mathematics, logic,
- 7:11Speaker 1: the gifts of words, persuasion for understanding and wisdom, and
- 7:18Speaker 1: the gifts of symbols. Science like sign, language is a
- 7:26Speaker 1: symbol language, science, and creativity and art. It must teach
- 7:36Speaker 1: yourself to know languages. I speak five languages. I get
- 7:43Speaker 1: to see that in each language you think differently. Some
- 7:48Speaker 1: languages make you think bigger because the language depends on
- 7:52Speaker 1: their vocabulary. The word artificial intelligence is an English word,
- 8:00Speaker 1: but if you go to some languages, that world does
- 8:03Speaker 1: not exist. So therefore the intelligence will be less because
- 8:09Speaker 1: the person that speaks English and not what AI is
- 8:12Speaker 1: ativical intelligence is with no match. Some languages don't have
- 8:16Speaker 1: the word science. Some languages don't have the word technology.
- 8:21Speaker 1: Some languages may have the word invention or creativity, or freedom,
- 8:25Speaker 1: right or the pursuit of happiness. Some languages may not
- 8:32Speaker 1: have words for motivation, for inspiration. Some languages may not
- 8:39Speaker 1: have words for the escalation, for reconciliation, for peace, for unity,
- 8:47Speaker 1: for empathy or compassion or understanding. Some languages may not
- 8:54Speaker 1: have words for forgiveness for times of a gratefulness. Some
- 9:05Speaker 1: languages may know the word grace or glory. Some languages
- 9:13Speaker 1: may not have the word dignity, integrity, character, monardism, or attitude.
- 9:24Speaker 1: Some languages may know the word respect, and if those
- 9:29Speaker 1: languages do, some languages treat words differently. A word may
- 9:37Speaker 1: mean something good in one language and charlature, and that
- 9:41Speaker 1: same word will mean something bad language and charature. That's
- 9:47Speaker 1: why when you translate from one language to the other,
- 9:53Speaker 1: sometimes you don't translate what vibert. The context and the
- 9:59Speaker 1: meaning might be different. If I tell you in Chinese
- 10:11Speaker 1: warrior to turn in English, it means I have had pain,
- 10:26Speaker 1: but that translation in English means I have m hm
- 10:31Speaker 1: h m hm or headache h yeah. And some languages
- 10:45Speaker 1: you look poor into the eyes, some languages you don't.
- 10:51Speaker 1: In some languages, I look into their eyes. It iss
- 10:54Speaker 1: your line. In some languages, like in our language, English language,
- 11:00Speaker 1: you look people into their eyes as a sign of respect.
- 11:05Speaker 1: It's that you are listening, that the person is important.
- 11:11Speaker 1: When some cultures opposite of it. It looks when somebody
- 11:15Speaker 1: is speaking, he looked to the ground, which means you
- 11:19Speaker 1: are less of the person's So traditions are different. Some
- 11:24Speaker 1: languages we teach you to bow to people, to bow
- 11:27Speaker 1: to kings. Some languages tell us tell you to stand
- 11:31Speaker 1: up stand for yourself and believe in yourself that you
- 11:34Speaker 1: are equal to everything else. You must understand language. In
- 11:40Speaker 1: order to understand people. I must understand the culture of
- 11:46Speaker 1: the language of the people. In order to understand those people,
- 11:53Speaker 1: you must understand the number system, the algebra came from
- 11:57Speaker 1: the middle is listen, what's the borrowd rendezvous, reapon, this
- 12:03Speaker 1: civil player. Those are borrowed words. You must understand the
- 12:11Speaker 1: context and the meaning of those words, and in order
- 12:15Speaker 1: to understand the people. So a human being is a language,
- 12:22Speaker 1: and a language comes from a culture, and a culture
- 12:26Speaker 1: has certain sets of traditions and religions and morals and nuns. Language.
- 12:38Speaker 1: You must respect language. You must learn it. You cannot
- 12:42Speaker 1: communicate a network with a language. How to talk or
- 12:47Speaker 1: to express yourself with the language. If you're a master
- 12:52Speaker 1: of it, it develops empathy and sympathy, It develops righteousness,
- 12:58Speaker 1: It develops a reason and common sense, develops character. Because
- 13:04Speaker 1: in the language, they have their own diction and the
- 13:08Speaker 1: whole book called dictionary. If it's a religion of the
- 13:11Speaker 1: Omrah code, call me with the Bible of the Koran,
- 13:17Speaker 1: oh templates, oh something else. You must starty that to
- 13:23Speaker 1: know that the Dictionary. It's very important. I know now
- 13:31Speaker 1: it's online. I used to love the dictionary. But I
- 13:36Speaker 1: used to teach English in China. I used to buy
- 13:40Speaker 1: every dictionary that's bigger, or buy a dictionary. Oh though
- 13:46Speaker 1: it is the biggest. When I goes on Earth, I
- 13:50Speaker 1: see a bigger dictionary. Abide, I've got stacks of dictionary.
- 13:54Speaker 1: Sometime I'll slip and put the dictionary on my head,
- 13:58Speaker 1: hoping that don't could get into my head. There's so
- 14:03Speaker 1: much knowledge in the dictionary, in the language. Open the Bible,
- 14:08Speaker 1: for example. It's so much to learn in the Bible,
- 14:11Speaker 1: so many words, so much wisdom. When open these books
- 14:21Speaker 1: learn you can read the Bible and not be a
- 14:26Speaker 1: wise person. You cannot study the dictionary andnot be a
- 14:33Speaker 1: wise person. You cannot study mathematics numbers and not be
- 14:40Speaker 1: a wise person. Because those things are interconnected. They teach
- 14:44Speaker 1: you the same thing but in different ways. Or call
- 14:50Speaker 1: it logic or call it numbers. I'll call it words
- 14:58Speaker 1: or the same thing. The way you speak to people,
- 15:04Speaker 1: the way you write, how you start your sentence, what
- 15:09Speaker 1: you say, how you conclude. It depends on your mastery
- 15:13Speaker 1: of words. You cannot master the English language and don't
- 15:19Speaker 1: speak with decorum and respect, because there's so many beautiful
- 15:24Speaker 1: words to us, so many kind words, so many persuasive
- 15:31Speaker 1: words to us, so many convincing words, so many civilized
- 15:39Speaker 1: and respectful and dignified words to us. Because the dictionary
- 15:44Speaker 1: gives you all that, or give you all the language
- 15:46Speaker 1: you need, all the words you need in the world,
- 15:50Speaker 1: how to construct and to construct a sentence, how to
- 15:54Speaker 1: build a home, and to follow rules. The law, it's
- 16:00Speaker 1: a very important book. That law comes from sometime religion,
- 16:07Speaker 1: the customs and traditions, and the minds of the people
- 16:11Speaker 1: comes from the social contract. It's written in language. You
- 16:16Speaker 1: cannot read the law, civil code or penal code and
- 16:22Speaker 1: not be a wise person, and not be a good citizen.
- 16:27Speaker 1: The law is already in a way that it speculates everything.
- 16:30Speaker 1: It's stipulates. I'm sorry, it stipulates everything. There is an
- 16:36Speaker 1: article for everything. There is a section for everything. When
- 16:46Speaker 1: you read a novel or a book of literature, you
- 16:50Speaker 1: can't again a long wisdom to tell a story. I
- 16:54Speaker 1: people turn their own stories words a language. People speak
- 17:03Speaker 1: it in different accents in different towns. But you must
- 17:07Speaker 1: master the language. That's the pury. When many people said,
- 17:14Speaker 1: Prince has a lot of wisdom. That wisdom is a
- 17:17Speaker 1: wisdom of language. I love language. I love to learn
- 17:24Speaker 1: different languages. I like to speak the way that people speak,
- 17:28Speaker 1: even though my accent might be different, or my word
- 17:31Speaker 1: of speaking might be different, But the puture of that language,
- 17:34Speaker 1: I cannot take it away. I always feel some time offended,
- 17:39Speaker 1: and I don't care what they say. With the just
- 17:43Speaker 1: destroyed language. Supple get angry, people get mad or rage.
- 17:53Speaker 1: You cannot speak language that well and be too angry,
- 17:59Speaker 1: cause there are many fine words in that language to
- 18:03Speaker 1: motivate you to inspire. The more you read, the more
- 18:07Speaker 1: you know, the more you study, the more you sick
- 18:12Speaker 1: understand it, and the more you speak, the better off
- 18:19Speaker 1: you began. You must learn to talk to people and
- 18:24Speaker 1: listen to their own story. I'm constructing your own story,
- 18:28Speaker 1: and then how to put their own stories together as
- 18:32Speaker 1: a Sometimes I like politics. I just listen listen to
- 18:36Speaker 1: politicians speak. I like to go to a church or
- 18:41Speaker 1: a temper and listen to a larbrary or a pastor
- 18:47Speaker 1: or a preacher, a father or sister, or a nun.
- 18:51Speaker 1: A monk speak. They all books. The monk them Oh okay,
- 19:01Speaker 1: here we got all books books of wisdom. When you
- 19:07Speaker 1: see a word somewhere, ask quite to read it. So
- 19:19Speaker 1: some of us croup not being good readers because we
- 19:24Speaker 1: don't have books to read. I mean today's word. The
- 19:28Speaker 1: listener excills not to read, not to be good at words,
- 19:33Speaker 1: good as page. And we want to say a sentence,
- 19:37Speaker 1: you must respect the person on the other side of
- 19:39Speaker 1: seeing the sentence. I whant to say something. What are
- 19:44Speaker 1: meant to say? Good stuff? I use the same word
- 19:50Speaker 1: to fix stuff. Use those same words not to break stuff.
- 19:55Speaker 1: You still say words to build stuff, to bring people together,
- 20:01Speaker 1: the maple figured to inspire people, to teach people, to
- 20:08Speaker 1: encourage people, motivate people. Or you have words, then you
- 20:14Speaker 1: have the world. Charisma. Charismatic people are the masters of words.
- 20:25Speaker 1: They play with words like a string of guitar or
- 20:30Speaker 1: like the piano, and the play with words. It's that
- 20:35Speaker 1: they click. It's like a brush, it's like a canvas.
- 20:40Speaker 1: They play with words like a spring pong or soccer
- 20:44Speaker 1: as volleyball, or basketball as baseball, or hockey o golf.
- 20:53Speaker 1: They play with words. You see artists. Then you use words,
- 21:01Speaker 1: and they convert those words into symbols. And they create
- 21:04Speaker 1: good art, look like Shakespeare and great writers. The player words.
- 21:16Speaker 1: I like to play with words. I cannot make words
- 21:20Speaker 1: and make them to be listenable, to bring some beauty,
- 21:25Speaker 1: to mean something. When you learn language, My life is free.
- 21:33Speaker 1: Freedom comes from expression. The right to expression. Serve freedom
- 21:40Speaker 1: of speech as the freedom is guarantee the freedom to
- 21:46Speaker 1: express yourself. It's not freedom to anger. It's not freedom
- 21:51Speaker 1: to hate. It's not freedom to devour of freedom to infringe.
- 21:57Speaker 1: It's not freedom to destroy. It's not freedom to be cruel.
- 22:04Speaker 1: It's further to express yourself always. There are always people
- 22:09Speaker 1: to listen to you. If you speak in a particular way.
- 22:14Speaker 1: When you do talk, don't talk in a colndescending way.
- 22:18Speaker 1: Don't speak out dis respect of others. The language think
- 22:24Speaker 1: in a particular way, and for the human being to think,
- 22:28Speaker 1: to speak in the language. The thinking has five layers
- 22:32Speaker 1: of processes. You think for yourself, you speak in a
- 22:37Speaker 1: selfish way. You think for others. You speak in a
- 22:43Speaker 1: respectful way, and you want to have others. You speak
- 22:49Speaker 1: with respect and dignity for others. If you speak for
- 22:54Speaker 1: the world, you speak more global. You take so many cultures,
- 22:59Speaker 1: so many tries, additions, so many religions, so many people,
- 23:02Speaker 1: so many countries together. So you're speaking with mindfulness of
- 23:08Speaker 1: the world, of the various people in the world, So
- 23:10Speaker 1: you speak differently. If you're speaking thinking of the universe,
- 23:20Speaker 1: your words will be different. You start talking about eco sustainability,
- 23:25Speaker 1: going great, protecting the planet. New words come to play.
- 23:30Speaker 1: If you're thinking in a multiverse. Are space of thinking?
- 23:35Speaker 1: You think about being the space ships a we year
- 23:37Speaker 1: alone at the aliens? Can we transfer our universe? It's
- 23:43Speaker 1: thinking case, its own language, your own science and technology.
- 23:48Speaker 1: It's on economy, it's on wealth and health, ways of
- 23:53Speaker 1: living and ways of being. Language it's a gift that
- 23:59Speaker 1: you cannot for to lose. Learn it. If you don't
- 24:04Speaker 1: know it, learn it. People speak every day. You learn
- 24:10Speaker 1: to the day you die. Teach a kid to teach
- 24:14Speaker 1: itself how to speak. Speaking, reading, writing, creating, dancing, playing
- 24:35Speaker 1: are all forms of expression. An expression comes true language.
- 24:42Speaker 1: If I were you or amaya language, I like to
- 24:49Speaker 1: learn more. Just think of you reading a beautiful story.
- 24:57Speaker 1: Think of you inspiring others to a language. Think of
- 25:04Speaker 1: your motivating people when need motivation to language. Think of
- 25:10Speaker 1: your thinking for your own self. How to solve your
- 25:12Speaker 1: own problems. Think of you when you listen to people
- 25:17Speaker 1: talk and fight, and horror of our words, of which
- 25:22Speaker 1: there are so many words in the dictionary that they
- 25:26Speaker 1: can choose not to use those words and use other
- 25:28Speaker 1: words and find common ground and pure common sensus and
- 25:33Speaker 1: pure bridges, or negotiate for peace or create a better world.
- 25:41Speaker 1: And people fight. They fight because they can express themselves.
- 25:46Speaker 1: And people are angry. They're angry because they like the
- 25:50Speaker 1: language and skills to express themselves. And poor, lonely or
- 25:54Speaker 1: stressful or depress they like the skills to express themselves.
- 26:02Speaker 1: Language can't be expressing any ways through art. Just by
- 26:08Speaker 1: walking to a pat of nature to free your brain
- 26:15Speaker 1: and listen to the birds and the wind and brace
- 26:22Speaker 1: you're thinking. Three particular language as a power of language.
- 26:30Speaker 1: With a language, nothing was heard, nothing was said, and
- 26:36Speaker 1: nothing was made. Let me say it again. With that language,
- 26:43Speaker 1: nothing was heard, nothing was said, and nothing was made.
- 26:51Speaker 1: The wisdom of life is in language. Be good at it,
- 26:58Speaker 1: master it, learn it. It's never too late. The one
- 27:06Speaker 1: advice to language when you are angry to speak it
- 27:12Speaker 1: as you just try and devour yourself with our others.
- 27:16Speaker 1: I to speak to people always as soon as they
- 27:20Speaker 1: have good intentions, and always speak with respect for the
- 27:25Speaker 1: other person, and almost seek to overcome our ego and
- 27:29Speaker 1: arrogance and narcissism and selfishness to make sure that what
- 27:37Speaker 1: we say is taken the way we intend it, or
- 27:41Speaker 1: to write to people we should think about them, give
- 27:46Speaker 1: them some dignity and some grace to consume or absolve
- 27:54Speaker 1: their iniquities, to speak to them with respect and dignity.
- 28:00Speaker 1: All I was fight true that I find out myself
- 28:03Speaker 1: hope you can. If you don't respect a person on
- 28:06Speaker 1: the other side, you abbuse and disabuse yourself in a
- 28:11Speaker 1: way you speak to speak in a disrespectful way. It's
- 28:17Speaker 1: an assault to language itself. Vocabulary gives you the power
- 28:25Speaker 1: to express yourself. Language is it? Language? Is it? Language?
- 28:38Speaker 1: Is said
