Rabbi Moshe Haber Path of the Just: The Art of Singular Focus: Applying Deveikut 12.3.25 · Rabbi Moshe Haber - Daily Mussar/Weekly Perasha

• 0:00
  On page 388 we have this concept of the Vekut, which is a very
• 0:06
  lofty word which means connecting to Hashem.
• 0:09
  And the idea is going to give you a classic examples of rabbis
• 0:12
  that were so locked in that they didn't even notice something
• 0:17
  going on. And it's not to say that they
• 0:20
  don't pick up on things because most of these people are usually
• 0:23
  extremely perceptive in life, but probably the classic, that's
• 0:27
  where they want to define a trait of such great people that
• 0:30
  they can pick up on everything, a lot of things.
• 0:32
  But at the same time, while they're in their zone, which is
• 0:35
  they're learning, they're praying, whatever it is, they're
• 0:38
  nothing else is going on in the world.
• 0:39
  Oh, by Ishama Amlu, the Ishama brings a Gemara, Abhi khana bin
• 0:44
  Desaya Ahmed Ahmed Palail. There was a rabbi who would
• 0:48
  stand, who was standing and praying O Bahabadbar, and
• 0:51
  something came and hit him. What's a khalabar?
• 0:54
  A snake came and even worse and bit him.
• 0:58
  The Lord of the cigar toy. He didn't even catch that.
• 1:01
  I'm really telling me that there's a reason in the story is
• 1:03
  quoted because it's so extreme. His student told him it be the
• 1:07
  Lord. Gosh that you didn't realize in
• 1:09
  my lamb you have all I he said. I'll be honest, we talk.
• 1:17
  I have to be honest, I didn't really feel it.
• 1:19
  OK, so we'll see a lot of I guess extreme story.
• 1:23
  What's the theme? How does it apply to us?
• 1:25
  It's a word called devekut. People today like to say I'm
• 1:29
  devek barsham or I'm doing devekut.
• 1:31
  Tell it to really know how to apply.
• 1:33
  But the definition for all of us in our lives give a dial to
• 1:37
  someone to go to Israel. No, that's that's not Derekut,
• 1:40
  that's something else. But devekut over here is the
• 1:44
  concept literally that a person, although you live in a very
• 1:48
  distracted world, life is is tailor made to be distracted,
• 1:53
  which means the way the world is set up, I'm doing a I'm seeing
• 1:57
  B, the whole world. That advertisement is I'm doing
• 1:59
  one thing and they're trying to make me catch something else.
• 2:03
  There's something going across the screen.
• 2:05
  There's something going across the school board.
• 2:07
  There's something that's running across as you're watching, you
• 2:10
  know there's another article coming.
• 2:11
  When you see one article, it's constantly distraction.
• 2:15
  You're watching 1 show and they're popping up to you.
• 2:17
  Another upcoming show or something else is going on.
• 2:20
  The world is structured to be distracting.
• 2:22
  You walk down the street, you're seeing a bunch of things in
• 2:25
  different directions, and it's for all of us.
• 2:28
  OK, besides being confusing, what it does is that it makes
• 2:33
  you unable, if you follow that distraction, unable to lock into
• 2:37
  something. And when a person doesn't lock
• 2:39
  into anything, they don't do it 100%.
• 2:43
  The classic world of anything. You can ask a businessman.
• 2:47
  Someone begins working, maybe having a meeting, Someone was
• 2:50
  learning, praying, all these areas of our life.
• 2:54
  They're much more successful if you're zoned in, if you do this
• 2:59
  now and the other thing later, yeah, I'll get to both.
• 3:02
  Why do I need to do the other thing while I'm doing this and
• 3:05
  this while I'm doing the other thing?
• 3:06
  Why don't we do the two things I want, which is actually nothing
• 3:09
  I want, at the 100%? How about I do 100% this and
• 3:14
  100% the other thing that is the approach of someone who has was
• 3:19
  locked in in life and diva kut means to be divaik by Asian
• 3:23
  means. And when I'm doing what God
• 3:25
  wants of me, I'm learning, I'm praying, I'm even spending time
• 3:29
  with my children. If you want to expand it to man
• 3:32
  to man even I'm doing, I said go that far.
• 3:35
  Whatever going to be whatever I'm doing right now, I am doing
• 3:38
  it 100% and that allows you to be like I said, much more locked
• 3:43
  in and much more productive. Here's what most of us are right
• 3:47
  now. I'm talking to you if I'm
• 3:49
  thinking about something else. So my words will come out, but
• 3:53
  they won't be as clear and they won't be as powerful and as deep
• 3:58
  as they can be. If I'm reading to you his words
• 4:02
  or trying to bring you his concepts directly from for a
• 4:05
  good talking to you. That's it.
• 4:06
  That's all I'm doing and I'll add my own thoughts.
• 4:09
  If that's all I'm doing, then I'll add my energy.
• 4:11
  But if I'm doing something else as well, I'm doing this, reading
• 4:14
  through these words, I'm thinking about how my kids got
• 4:16
  onto the bus and they're going to make the bus or miss the bus
• 4:18
  or what's happening at school today for them.
• 4:20
  If that's not my mind, all right, which a lot of times it
• 4:22
  is, then these words coming out. But if you kick yourself on out
• 4:26
  of the middle, exactly, these words come out.
• 4:29
  As soon as that happens and these words come out at 70
• 4:32
  percent, 60%, and then I was powerful.
• 4:35
  That is true for reading these words.
• 4:38
  I'm reading you ta da right and that's you when you're in a
• 4:40
  business meeting and divicudes means I'm totally locked in and
• 4:45
  somehow someway I drop everything else name city stuff
• 4:48
  come on, but I have some of these going on.
• 4:50
  There's so many things happening in my life and they flood my
• 4:53
  brain. We know you start amidah.
• 4:56
  This comes in that comes in the other thing of it and you want
• 4:59
  me to be David Behashim. How do I connect to God?
• 5:04
  How do I clear it all out if so many things on my mind, the
• 5:08
  answer is, well, for sure, shut the phone when it's started.
• 5:12
  Absolutely correct. But the deeper answer is to that
• 5:14
  same point is that why do you think about all these things?
• 5:19
  Because you have you have to get to get them all done, right?
• 5:21
  And you're thinking about your children because you have to in
• 5:23
  your mind address your children. And you're thinking about work
• 5:26
  because you have to make money and you're thinking about your
• 5:29
  commute because you have to get there.
• 5:31
  And you're thinking about all these different things right
• 5:33
  now. And we would realize there will
• 5:36
  be far more effect in those areas if we gave them their time
• 5:42
  after we give this it's time, right?
• 5:45
  And praying would be praying. Learning will be learning.
• 5:49
  Commute will be commute. Children will be children.
• 5:51
  All those things at their time. Then you'd address every single
• 5:55
  one of these things, but you'd also have the each one is 100%
• 6:00
  instead of having a bunch of roads that are colliding all day
• 6:03
  long. So when people are in office and
• 6:05
  they're on the phone, they're also on the other phone.
• 6:07
  So this is against multitasking. Yes, multitasking is a beautiful
• 6:11
  thing in a sense, but it's also I can handle.
• 6:15
  Everything at a long. Time people believe that they
• 6:17
  can multitask. They can.
• 6:18
  No one can disagree with the fact that many people can
• 6:20
  multitask today, but they're not getting things done 100% and
• 6:24
  seeing the issue. Let's say I'll expand this.
• 6:26
  Let's say I'm a rabbi and I'm trying to address a bunch of
• 6:30
  people. All right?
• 6:32
  I'm really not going to understand each person's
• 6:35
  challenge unless I deal with them one by one.
• 6:37
  Unless I know you. I said to you, I talk to you.
• 6:40
  But yeah, but you know, you can do man to the people.
• 6:43
  No, you can't. You can't be a man of the
• 6:45
  masters. You have to be a man of 1 by 1.
• 6:48
  The same concept applies to every single area of our life. 1
• 6:52
  by 1 is something that we all think is a waste.
• 6:56
  Naturally in our minds, we feel like it's a waste.
• 6:58
  I'm wasting time. I can do this and do that I can.
• 7:01
  You know, if I deal with 20 continents, I want to have
• 7:04
  every, you know, a smallish but not so large class.
• 7:08
  If I have that, I get a lot done.
• 7:10
  No, you won't. You will never.
• 7:13
  You'll never get it done until you peel off 1 by 1.
• 7:19
  And that's how it is because of people as soon as it comes to
• 7:21
  the hours of life and their jobs and the tests you have, the
• 7:25
  reality is that our tasks are becoming more and more so this
• 7:30
  and and the ability to multitask it seems is also becoming more
• 7:35
  and more doable that the real reality is.
• 7:38
  It never will change. You can never properly address
• 7:42
  everything on the full way unless you give it its all full
• 7:47
  attention. Just the way the world works and
• 7:49
  the Vekuta Hashem is the same concept.
• 7:51
  You'll never become Moshe Albano unless you connect the God alone
• 7:55
  like you did so. But yeah, he today I have a lot
• 8:00
  to do, mushairman, a lot to do too.
• 8:02
  And still he gave that it's time.
• 8:04
  You know, that'll become David another.
• 8:05
  You don't become the avort. You don't become any of them
• 8:08
  unless you give yourself a chance.
• 8:10
  There can be people who can go through years of life who never
• 8:14
  actually stopped focus and had a very clear frame of mind and
• 8:20
  thought process because they never allowed themselves to zone
• 8:23
  into one thing at one time. They were always waking up in
• 8:26
  the morning thinking about 20 things, going through the day,
• 8:29
  addressing 20 things at once, all them being done in a very
• 8:32
  weak manner. And because of that, it warmed
• 8:34
  me up because of that, right, they couldn't get everything
• 8:37
  done. So now let me not multitask and
• 8:39
  make a warm over here just as he.
• 8:43
  But this is the theme. And I think people believe they
• 8:47
  can multitask, but what they don't know is it's not a
• 8:50
  reality, correct. I mean, you disagree with this
• 8:54
  or I do agree. No, no, you remote test, but but
• 8:57
  you'll you'll lose. Yet you're not given one one
• 9:01
  thing 100%. You're giving it 90% that that
• 9:05
  55th, whatever it is, 100% may get done, but that's.
• 9:10
  Like you're at work, you have to focus on your work totally.
• 9:13
  All the other stuff you have to. Have to cut family out on your
• 9:16
  mind, right? And do it.
• 9:18
  And the same thing is true in your home.
• 9:20
  You know, we've all as husbands been down this road many, many
• 9:23
  times and that is your home. You're officially present.
• 9:28
  But some things going on at work, you're checking your
• 9:29
  emails, you're busy and someone comments, let's say two wife and
• 9:32
  says you're not really here. And he's like, I came home early
• 9:35
  from work today just to be here and just like, but you're not
• 9:39
  here. And you say, but I am here,
• 9:41
  right? This is the back and forth we've
• 9:42
  all been through. The hell listening.
• 9:43
  To me. And the reality is, let's be all
• 9:45
  real with ourselves. She's right.
• 9:47
  I gave you, but you. Didn't right didn't get her hear
• 9:50
  me exactly and be was in the complete but exactly.
• 9:52
  Oh, forget it. I forget it, but it's it's a
• 9:55
  recent one. I've been on that road.
• 9:57
  Yeah, I was just on that road, I think yesterday.
• 9:59
  But, but it's true. But we should say it's true.
• 10:03
  Of course it's true. Why is it true?
• 10:05
  Because we're not. We, we, we for every reason.
• 10:08
  And maybe and a lot of times they come from a lack of a lack
• 10:12
  of value in our minds of what we're doing.
• 10:16
  So a guy comes home early, spend time with his children and he's
• 10:19
  sitting around by the table and doesn't really see the need and
• 10:22
  sit around while his kids are talking about nothing, while
• 10:24
  they're busy with their friends or whatever else.
• 10:26
  And then he assist us up. Let me just check my emails and
• 10:28
  for you know it, he's home, but he's at work.
• 10:31
  And that's when we bring in a lot of tasking and that's when
• 10:35
  we destroy what we're doing right now.
• 10:37
  The overall point and the unbelievable theme as you can be
• 10:40
  so effective in life if you gave every part of your life its own
• 10:45
  special attention. You can be effective in your
• 10:48
  learning. You can be effective in your
• 10:49
  praying. You can be effective in your
• 10:51
  case. You can be effective as a
• 10:53
  husband, as a as a child, as a parent.
• 10:57
  You can visit your parents. Whatever you do, when you do,
• 10:59
  you're there And the someone told me that they that's the
• 11:02
  child visits them. He visits them, doesn't take off
• 11:04
  the coat and it bothers the parent.
• 11:07
  Why? Because the visit's one leg out,
• 11:10
  right? You can't wait to get out of
• 11:12
  there. That's that's not when.
• 11:13
  They they would bring the bodies off the plane and you slipping
• 11:16
  his watch, right? Bad move.
• 11:18
  Can't wait to get there because you can't wait.
• 11:20
  A successful people know and we have a unbelievable capability
• 11:24
  and effective use. The main thing we have to figure
• 11:27
  out is how to clean out the rest of the world while we're doing
• 11:32
  this. Just zoned in.
• 11:34
  Much easier said than done, but the payoff is well worth it.
• 11:39
  And that is, you can actually, you know, there are guys who are
• 11:43
  home all Sunday, home all Shabbat, home half a Friday
• 11:49
  even. They don't work that much.
• 11:51
  And their marriages are still weak because they're not really
• 11:54
  there when they're there. And then the other people who
• 11:56
  have the art and know how to do it, they have the skill or when
• 12:00
  they're there, they're there. They go out there with their
• 12:03
  wife. Nothing else is on their mind.
• 12:05
  They don't bring up other things.
• 12:06
  They don't bring up things the wife don't want to hear about
• 12:08
  because they're here now. Easy said than done is a task
• 12:13
  there's a lot of dancing and a lot of thinking, but it takes a
• 12:16
  lot of preparing as well. And that is, you know the reason
• 12:19
  that we have the reason we have this thing called preparing for
• 12:22
  prayer is for this purpose is mainly so that when you're
• 12:26
  praying, you're praying. The reason we have this prayer
• 12:28
  that people say before they learn is for the same purpose to
• 12:31
  when you're learning, you learn. The reason we have this idea of
• 12:34
  putting your phone down and getting ready distractions is
• 12:36
  all for this purpose. And it's comes from a very lofty
• 12:40
  word called the deku da veg by Hashem.
• 12:43
  And that means it's you and God alone in the world.
• 12:47
  Really what that means is that these great people used to go
• 12:49
  out to the field. The law of a prophet was before
• 12:53
  they expected income prophecy. They went out to the field.
• 12:59
  Why is going out to the field necessary 'cause they cut out
• 13:01
  from the whole world and they spoke to God.
• 13:05
  You're talking about Davida Miller shepherds.
• 13:07
  They were, that's what they were shepherds.
• 13:09
  Now Bob brings, that's why they had that line of work.
• 13:11
  They were shepherds because a shepherd goes out out there and
• 13:15
  he's alone. He's alone with God and God
• 13:17
  could talk to him and he has to be at a physical and therefore
• 13:20
  spiritual state that nothing else exists.
• 13:23
  The deep concept of a prophet is that a prophet cuts out all
• 13:28
  physicality. You know, I'll give you an
• 13:30
  example upcoming Pradashah and call Avinu.
• 13:34
  He sends he sends messengers and apostle uses the words angels
• 13:38
  and when she says they were little angels and I'm studying
• 13:41
  actually I'm in the process of studying last night.
• 13:43
  Well last night I was working on it and that is what exactly does
• 13:46
  that even mean that a man has angels at his disposal.
• 13:49
  What does that mean We have no other example an entire Torah of
• 13:53
  this concept. Oh the man sending angels at his
• 13:57
  disposal thought common. I don't think it exists anywhere
• 14:00
  else and the overall theme as they are carving that was able
• 14:04
  to attain a degree and a level still doesn't answer the
• 14:08
  question, but it somewhat goes on the road.
• 14:10
  He was able to attain a level of he's so much in the zone and
• 14:16
  it's really only him and God. I got a very godly existence
• 14:20
  down here. I was able to shave away the
• 14:24
  material and I was able to be in the zone of angels.
• 14:27
  That's somewhat the theme. What that means I don't know,
• 14:30
  but the theme is that he adapted this constituents first.
• 14:33
  I'll give you a clear example today.
• 14:36
  When a person learns, they're expected to understand and
• 14:39
  they're expected to peel away at the topic.
• 14:42
  How do you peel away at the topic?
• 14:44
  You look at the same topic. I know every time I come to a
• 14:46
  new topic, Here's my rule. The first time I I come to a new
• 14:49
  page, I read it. I'm confused.
• 14:52
  Every single time. When I fail, I read, I'm
• 14:54
  confused and I read it again. I read it again, read it again.
• 14:58
  But a third or fourth time is a degree of a flow.
• 15:02
  It makes sense. I know the next word that's
• 15:04
  coming and I see where it's going.
• 15:06
  And then eventually all of a sudden it starts to click and
• 15:09
  you start to understand and say this rabbi is coming from this
• 15:12
  reasoning and that reasoning. And if I am all distracted, it's
• 15:17
  a reality. I could spend one hour of focus
• 15:22
  and get us to get better and 10 hours distracted.
• 15:26
  And the same issue for you, for your learning, for your work,
• 15:29
  for your praying. You can spend one minute
• 15:32
  actually talking to God and it could replace a month of
• 15:35
  praying. That's how far it goes.
• 15:38
  And that's this concept and these people elevated themselves
• 15:41
  to borderline angels based on this country even more that back
• 15:48
  this up as it says that's it aborted back.
• 15:57
  How do you clean something? When you hug something someone,
• 16:01
  what you are doing is you're right there.
• 16:04
  That's it. Nothing else exists.
• 16:05
  That's the idea. Aborted raccoon.
• 16:08
  But if you have more tough car now, Shia Hareka, my nefesh
• 16:12
  clings to you, Mignon, Colella all lead to the same thing.
• 16:17
  Checking the news. It's the connection that a man
• 16:23
  has. He cannot separate.
• 16:31
  You can't shake him off. That's the Level 3 terms of
• 16:39
  love. God love the Jewish people.
• 16:45
  A term for cleaving, a term for yearning.
• 16:52
  And it's the same idea. You yearn for something when you
• 16:55
  long for something when your children out of town, you want
• 16:57
  to see them that they're on your mind.
• 16:59
  They're pulling at you and they are pulling at you even though
• 17:02
  they're not here. Super sees everything that's in
• 17:04
  front of you. Uber hafizza.
• 17:06
  Another word hafizza means delight.
• 17:09
  That is, I enjoy this so much. It's such a an unbelievable
• 17:13
  priority to me that I love it when someone says you have to
• 17:17
  love learning. Love learning is not a easy,
• 17:20
  attainable thing. But starters, the only way you
• 17:23
  have a shot of loving learning is when you start to lock into
• 17:27
  it. Really understand.
• 17:28
  If you were reading along right, let me understand it.
• 17:31
  You love it. Sake and understanding is a
• 17:33
  moment and a hit on your mind that at that moment is just
• 17:37
  this. All you have is just a you don't
• 17:40
  get anything without zoning on it.
• 17:43
  That's a reality. I have my marsh, unfair, our
• 17:46
  Valley, Karit, and these are all forms of love.
• 17:49
  When your wife tells you, when your children tell you, you
• 17:51
  don't give me attention, you're not thinking about me.
• 17:53
  I mean, a lot of things are going on.
• 17:54
  Of course you love them, but they're secondary.
• 17:57
  They're still on the list. Faultless.
• 18:00
  That is this unbelievable yearning.
• 18:03
  All the love that comes from this all developed based on
• 18:11
  connection. We can repeat this theme a
• 18:13
  million times. It might be one of the most
• 18:15
  effective. You become a therapist, You
• 18:17
  become a therapist. That's it.
• 18:19
  One of the most effective themes for a good person, a wise
• 18:23
  person, a learned person, a nice person.
• 18:26
  All the good traits that we try to have, they all only come out
• 18:31
  if you lock in. If you don't lock in.
• 18:34
  And you can be all those words and yet you never apply.
• 18:39
  Because I could be a very wise person.
• 18:40
  I'm never learning. I consider front of a book.
• 18:42
  I keep being Khalil. I'm not alert.
• 18:47
  So daydreaming is a little bit of a fair, that's a little bit
• 18:51
  of a loose being pulled out. But then there are stronger
• 18:55
  drives, which is I'm here, don't worry, I have an upcoming bill,
• 19:00
  I have something to worry about. I have someone I have to meet at
• 19:03
  a meeting today. All those themes and all those
• 19:06
  realities which are all real, you know, it's a very funny
• 19:09
  thing. In the immediate, in the moment,
• 19:12
  our lives are awesome. Our lives today are better than
• 19:17
  they've ever been in every area and in me, in the moment.
• 19:21
  Yet outside, let's call it the periphery.
• 19:24
  Let's call it the future. Let's call it with thinking
• 19:26
  about it, They're the worst. So they're the best in the
• 19:30
  moment and the worst about our thoughts, right?
• 19:34
  They always tell you that today there's much more depression,
• 19:36
  there's much more anxiety, there's much moreness, All those
• 19:40
  emotions all external and not in the moment.
• 19:43
  There's no anxiety from the kids sitting by a nice table with
• 19:46
  food and the kid growing up in a well off home.
• 19:49
  There's no anxiety in that part. The anxiety is he has friends to
• 19:52
  worry about. He has a future to worry about.
• 19:54
  How do I get married in a raising family?
• 19:56
  How am I going to get a job? All the anxieties in the world
• 20:00
  are from the outside, the competition.
• 20:02
  What are you thinking about? All those things on your mind.
• 20:04
  You know what's funny about all those things?
• 20:06
  They're all things that are right here, right now you can't
• 20:08
  address. And all they're doing is
• 20:10
  destroying the moment and the moment itself had you had it, if
• 20:14
  you had that moment, you would roll and one by one you'd knock
• 20:18
  down the pins of life. But it's only because you're not
• 20:20
  even shooting out that pin. You're still, you got 20 of them
• 20:24
  and everything's scattering around.
• 20:25
  And myself regarding that issue is completely ineffective right
• 20:30
  now. And it's also ineffective.
• 20:33
  We got an issue in front of my face because I'm so distracted.
• 20:36
  This is our reality and it is the world's reality.
• 20:39
  And they know this. They, I mean the advertisers,
• 20:42
  they, I mean, all those people who tried to drum up different
• 20:45
  worries and fears and news. They know this and they're
• 20:48
  playing at this. So they want you to be worried
• 20:51
  at all times. So they have an elevated high
• 20:53
  picked voice. Regarding the weather, yes,
• 20:56
  there was a snowstorm officially.
• 20:57
  By the way, I hope you enjoyed your first love song in the
• 21:00
  season. What are we talking about?
• 21:02
  Upstate New York was up doing me nothing.
• 21:04
  But it does in the news that they want to get you going,
• 21:07
  right? I'm sure people wore shovels
• 21:10
  yesterday, as ridiculous as it sounds, right?
• 21:13
  They get your thinking. That's all nonsense.
• 21:15
  The same is true even as far as things like politics and even
• 21:21
  though they are relevant and they are effective and they do
• 21:24
  matter. They matter in a certain zone,
• 21:27
  but in the unhealthy zone, they're just another thing pile
• 21:30
  out to your hysteria. And it's the way the sports
• 21:32
  schedule works. It's the way the news cycle
• 21:35
  works. It's the way the politics and
• 21:37
  voting works. It's the way you have either
• 21:40
  domestic news or international news or community news or
• 21:44
  personal news or personal family or the bigger family.
• 21:48
  Chat is always an item and they're all just pulling out.
• 21:51
  One thing. Can't be crazy.
• 21:53
  You know what they're all doing, taking away from my ability to
• 21:55
  be me. And if I would knock them down 1
• 21:58
  by 1, I'd vote when it's time to vote, but I wouldn't think about
• 22:02
  it for four years in advance. And I would, you know, be in
• 22:06
  work. I'd have to be in work.
• 22:08
  I'd be a father, a father of his husband at that time, son at
• 22:12
  that time, member of the broader family at the right time, but
• 22:16
  not at all times. 1000 things and nothing or empty shells.
• 22:20
  Even though we're living the best life, it's the weirdest
• 22:22
  thing in the world. And more anxiety, depression,
• 22:25
  sadness, people feeling unsettled and incomplete while
• 22:30
  their lives are rocking and rolling in every single way but
• 22:34
  in the external. And you want to be devic to
• 22:37
  whatever you're doing, choose to do so.
• 22:40
  Cut everything else out and 1 by 1 you will be the most
• 22:43
  effective. I once heard that businessman,
• 22:47
  one of the biggest tools is the fact that he was locked in a
• 22:51
  meeting was a meeting for him and nothing else mattered, not
• 22:55
  his phone. I don't know what's going on.
• 22:56
  It's over. He's locked in.
• 22:59
  If you have that mindset, old fashioned mindset, basically not
• 23:02
  adapting to a new world and you're golden.
• 23:05
  If you don't and you have a lot to do, a lot to accomplish that
• 23:09
  may be a hard time accomplishing, that's the idea.
• 23:11
  OK.
