So I had the chance to meet with some of the kids in the program today, where are you -  scream out - there you go?

Past simple

Because they gave me a little bit of time - um

Some observations for your future. I have five little rules that you can follow as you

Find your spark and bring your spark to life

The first is to go after the things that you want. Let me tell you a story

So a friend of mine, and I - we went for a run in Central Park the Roadrunners organization

On the weekends they host races, and it's very common at the end of the races -

They'll have a sponsor who will give away something

Apples or bagels or something - and on this particular day when we got to the end of the run there were some free bagels and

Picnic tables set up and on one side was a group of volunteers - on the table were boxes of bagels and on the other side

was a long line of runners waiting to get their free bagel

So I said to my friend. Let's let's get a bagel and he looked at me and said

And he said I don't want to wait in line and I was like

And he says - " Nah - it's too long!" -  and that's when I realized that there's two ways to see the world:

Some people see the thing that they want and some people see the thing that prevents them from getting the thing that they want.

put my hand in the box and pulled out two bagels and

No one get mad at me because the rule is you can go after whatever you want you just cannot

deny anyone else to go after whatever they want.  Now I had to sacrifice choice. I didn't get to choose which bagel

I got,  I got whatever I pulled out, but I didn't have to wait in line

So the point is is you don't have to wait in line

You don't have to do it the way everybody else has done it,  you can do it your way

You can break the rules you just can't get in the way of somebody else getting what they want. That's rule number one.

spread across Europe, and eventually made its way to America called  Puerperal fever

Also known as the Black Death of Childbed

Basically what was happening,  is women were giving birth and

they would die within 48 hours after giving birth

This Black Death of childbirth was the ravage of Europe and it got worse and worse and worse

over the course of over a century in some hospitals

It was as high as 70% of women who gave birth who would die as a result of giving birth

empirical data and science and we had thrown away things like

tradition and mysticism - These were men of science these were doctors and these doctors and men of science

wanted to study and try and find the reason

for this black death of childbed and so they got to work studying, and they would study the corpses

of the of the women who had died and in the morning they would conduct autopsies and then in the afternoon

they would go and deliver babies and finish their rounds. And it wasn't until somewhere in the mid 1800s that

Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, father of Supreme Court Justice. Oliver Wendell Holmes realized

That all of these doctors who conducting autopsies in the morning weren't washing their hands

Before they delivered babies in the afternoon, and he pointed it out and said

they ignored him and called him crazy for 30 years until

finally somebody realized that if they simply washed their hands

And that's exactly what happened.  When they started sterilizing their instruments and washing their hands the black death of  childbed disappeared.

My point is the lesson here is:  sometimes, you're the problem

We've seen this happen all too recently with our new men of science and empirical

Who are smarter than the rest of us until the thing collapsed

And they blamed everything else except themselves - and my point is is: Take accountability for your actions.

You can take all the credit in the world for the things that you do right as long as you also take responsibility

for the things you do wrong. It must be a balanced equation.

You don't get it one way and not the other. You get to take credit when you also take accountability.

The United States Navy SEALs are perhaps the most elite warriors in the world.

And one of the SEALs was asked who makes it through the selection process?  Who is able

"I can't tell you the kind of person that becomes a seal. I can't tell you the kind of person that makes it through BUDs.

But I can tell you the kind of people who don't become Seals.

He says the guys that show up with huge bulging muscles covered in tattoos -

who want to prove to the world how tough they are. None of them make it through.

He said the preening leaders who like to delegate all their responsibility - and never do anything themselves - none of them  make it through.

He said the star college athletes, who have never really been tested to the core of their being.

He says some of the guys that make it through were skinny and scrawny

He said some of the guys that make it through - you will see them shivering out of fear.

He says- "However, all the guys that make it through -

emotionally spent - when they have nothing left to give physically or emotionally

Somehow someway, they are able to find the energy to dig down deep inside themselves

To find the energy to help the guy next to them

They become Seals he said. You want to be an elite warrior?

It's not about how tough you are it's not about how smart you are -

It's not about how fast you are. If you want to be an elite warrior

You better get really really good at helping the person to the left of you and helping the person to the right of you.

Because that's how people advance in the world.

The world is too dangerous, and the world is too difficult for you to think that you can do these things alone.

I commend you: who you gonna ask for help? And when are you gonna accept help when it's offered?
