  Speaker 1: Yeah, what's going on? So you're a podcast listener? Huh
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: remember those days when people say you're what you listen to? Who? What?
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Where do you find that? Oh? I'm not putting that
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: on my smartphone? And now look at the growth of podcasting.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: One of the things we wanted to do was to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: make sure that we made it so simple for you.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Aro dot net, a r r oe dot net. It
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: should be like looking at the index of a book. Oh,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I want to go listen to that one. Oh, then
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna listen to this one and this one is
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: the power of choice. And we learned how to do
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: this on Netflix and Hulu. Aro dot net, r r
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: oe dot net. Enjoy your exploration. Hates me that question guy,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the dude that's always asking questions, because it's really fun
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: researching for answers such as people are walking around on
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: a path of nowhere to go and no place to return?
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Why are we doing this to ourselves? Plus is it
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: better to act like we don't know what we're doing?
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: My name is Arrow, I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I stand on the sidelines, so do nothing but watch, listen, study,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: then activate. I happen to call it the daily mess
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: because it's a chronological walk through an everyday world. It
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: is my morning writing as a receiver of thoughts and ideas.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: We as people tend to throw things to the side
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: because we are convinced there we are going to deal
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: with it later on. How's that working for you? When
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: a subject arrives inside of me, I know it's time
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: to dig in. It's still keeping a daily journal, but
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: by doing that research, the picture is going to become clearer.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: This is the daily mess. People act like they're walking
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: on a path of nowhere to go and no place
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: to return. Nowhere to go and no place to return.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Love what the critics are saying about this quote, it's
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: a poetic reflection. Oh really, which is what I call
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: hidden speak, hiding your emotions behind the things that people
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: really do want to say when they're on this path
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: of going nowhere and no place to return. So what
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: does it actually mean. It's about people who claim their
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: life is a journey, but without a destination or a
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: meaningful sense of where they actually came from. Walking on
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: a path of nowhere to go suggests the person is
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: living life in autopilot. But what about the part no
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: place to return, a total disconnection from home, from your roots, identity,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: and even what the person used to be and how
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: they are known by others that have walked beside them.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: It really is a path of nowhere to go and
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: no place to return. It's people on the move without
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: really knowing they're moving. Man, it almost seems like ts
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Eliott or Albert Cummings would write something like this, but
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: they didn't. Coming up next, Oh, this is a tough one.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Is it better to act like we do I don't
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: know what we're doing? Hey, thanks for coming back to
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the daily mess? Is it better to act like we
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: don't know what we're doing? Oh? My god? How many
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: people do we work with that have that attitude? Is
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: it better to act like we don't know what we're doing? Well,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: it depends on the situation. In many cases, admitting that
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: you don't know something is actually strong. People often trust
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: someone who says, I'm not sure, but I'll find out
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: for you. See what it is. It's somebody who pretends
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: they've got an answer. I didn't say they know it.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: They pretend it. On the other hand, acting like you
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: don't know what you're doing when you actually do can
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: sometimes be useful when it comes to social strategy. It
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: lowers other people's expectations, It encourages others to teach or
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: to collaborate, and it will make you appear less threatening
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: in a competitive situation. But bade bade bad. There are
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: some downsides. There's always some downsides. People may underestimate your abilities.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Been there, done that? You mean you don't think I
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: can do that? You know who I am? Right and
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: what I've done? Oh, that's right, I made it look
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: like that I didn't know what I was doing. Oh.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: You might miss opportunities because others don't realize how you're
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: capable of actually doing it. And in jobs that require confidence,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: such as leadership, medicine, or aviation, appearing clueless can reduce
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: trust in you. A balanced approach is usually best by
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: confidence in you, honesty in you, not the situation where
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: you go, yeah, I know how to do it, but
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna act like I don't. Then this way they'll
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: just get off my back. Well, that tends to earn
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: you a lack of disrespect. Well, the choice is all yours,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: in all honesty. I'm herrow. And that's the daily mess
