- 0:11Speaker 1: And it's like, where did he say that? Where did
- 0:13Speaker 1: he say that? Who did he say he was going

- 0:24Speaker 1: Enjoy that exploration. We've all faced it, if not one
- 0:28Speaker 1: spent many times during every week you're confronted with an
- 0:32Speaker 1: old sayt you know those things that your family and
- 0:34Speaker 1: friends usually say that comes from out of nowhere, and
- 0:37Speaker 1: sometimes it actually makes sense. I mean they had to
- 0:40Speaker 1: start somewhere, who would, where, when, why? And how? Some
- 0:43Speaker 1: of those old saints are not only ancient, but they
- 0:46Speaker 1: still carry a powerful punch today. I live by one
- 0:50Speaker 1: of those old saints, and my my mind, it really
- 0:54Speaker 1: upsets some people yesterday at my other essential job because
- 0:57Speaker 1: they do not believe in this falla. But yet I
- 1:01Speaker 1: found myself having to defend it. And that's one of
- 1:03Speaker 1: the things that takes place when you're using old saints
- 1:06Speaker 1: my mantra or walk in life, which was infused by
- 1:09Speaker 1: my walking way with martial arts is winning is a choice. Well,
- 1:15Speaker 1: that upsets some people because they don't believe that winning
- 1:18Speaker 1: is a choice, just as much as we don't choose
- 1:21Speaker 1: to lose. They felt like it was something to take on.
- 1:24Speaker 1: All right, bring it on. I'm ready to take it on.
- 1:27Speaker 1: And that's what old saints do. They will challenge you
- 1:31Speaker 1: because most of them are all about beliefs, and if
- 1:35Speaker 1: you don't believe we feel like that, we've got to
- 1:37Speaker 1: verbally get involved. Winning is a choice. The goal of
- 1:42Speaker 1: these episodes is to help preserve not only a language,
- 1:45Speaker 1: but lessons in life. My name is Arrow. I wrote
- 1:51Speaker 1: the book on this. Oh, I think we can picture
- 1:55Speaker 1: someone in our personal chapters who has had no problem
- 1:58Speaker 1: tossing these words into the mix. I wrote the book
- 2:02Speaker 1: on this. It's not credited to one person coming up
- 2:05Speaker 1: with it. It's looked upon as being a classic idiom
- 2:09Speaker 1: that developed naturally within the pages of English history, most
- 2:13Speaker 1: likely the early nineteen hundreds, mainly because that's when publishing
- 2:16Speaker 1: books was really the physical act of moving thoughts. If
- 2:20Speaker 1: you literally wrote the book on something, it usually meant
- 2:24Speaker 1: you are the authority or expert. Through time and overuse,
- 2:28Speaker 1: the idiom has melted into being just a figurative way
- 2:32Speaker 1: of speaking, basically meaning, I know this better than anyone else.
- 2:37Speaker 1: I wrote the book on this. Oh okay. It first
- 2:41Speaker 1: appeared in movies and in radio intellivision in the nineteen forties,
- 2:45Speaker 1: especially in comedies and business talks. From those parts it
- 2:49Speaker 1: grew outward into our community. There was once a time
- 2:52Speaker 1: when authorities and other wanna be leaders depended on books
- 2:56Speaker 1: for knowledge. Today research shows it's all in question. Who
- 3:02Speaker 1: saw that. Oh, it's just an opinion. I saw something online,
- 3:06Speaker 1: and but I wrote the book on this. Yeah, you
- 3:11Speaker 1: and about a billion other people. I'm Eryl, And that's
- 3:15Speaker 1: something our parents would say.
