Future simple

- I know we're gonna come out of this all okay.

The comparative

We're a lot stronger than we think we are.

I'm sure many of you are familiar with me on Buzzfeed.

former caporegime, Colombo family in New York.

is that I spent a lot of time in solitary confinement.

I actually spent 29 months and seven days in the hole,

And people, I gotta tell ya, that's not easy.

Now why I think this is appropriate to talk about today,

obviously, many of us are being confined or quarantined,

and some of us are really struggling with that.

Many of you know that I walked away from that life,

and I was actually in solitary, they alleged,

In addition to that, the government was trying very hard

to get me to cooperate against my former associates,

when they put me back in prison, they kept me in solitary.

not able to look at television, no internet,

I would get the newspapers five or six days later

that the day was different was by the food

I might spend the rest of my life in that hole.

And I'll be honest with you, that was pretty scary.

It was pretty rough thinking that, this was it.

Fortunately, we're not in that situation.

that might help you pass the time and get you through it.

I don't know how I would have made it, honestly.

and anything that I'd get my hands on, I would read.

anything that kinda just took me out of that hole.

it takes you out of the place that you're in.

and you stop thinking of your surroundings.

I'm not telling you to read the newspaper

and go online and read all of the stuff that's on there.

We're looking at the news 24/7, some of us.

We hear people coming down with the virus.

Get your information, and then get away from it.

You don't want this to bring you down day in and day out.

Listening to the news every day is not gonna change it.

but don't divulge an over-appetite on the news.

On the internet, a lot of false information

Don't panic over information that you're getting on the Web.

and that's how we'll get through this thing.

Exercise, get your body fit, very important.

When I tried to keep myself going, I mean, I exercised.

You don't have to have a gym in your house.

You don't have to have weights and so on and so forth.

For some of us that are not in great shape,

this might be a good time to get that diet right.
