What's up, guys?
Sean Nalewanyj on www.SeanNal.com, and in this video here today I wanted to talk a bit
about the use of lifting straps.
So should you use lifting straps or are they just a "crutch" that should be avoided?
You'll hear this a lot when the topic comes up.
You know, guys will chime in and say something along the lines of, you know, lifting straps
or weak or real lifters don't use them, or something to that effect.
So I just wanted to give you my advice quickly here on this topic.

And you can also click the little bell button as well and that way you'll be notified anytime
I upload a new video, if you do enjoy this content.
So to put it simply: whether or not you should use lifting straps as part of your training
or lifting hooks, same idea.
But whether or not you should use them completely and totally depends on your personal goals
and on what you're trying to achieve in the gym.
Everyone has their own specific reasons and nobody else can tell you whether your personal
goals or whether what you're specifically interested in achieving is right or wrong.
And I'm going to be doing another video going into more detail on that subject soon, but
when it comes to lifting straps it's really just a matter of looking at the potential
benefits and the potential drawbacks, and then deciding whether using them would have
a nett positive effect in terms of reaching your specific goals.
The whole idea of whether or not using lifting straps makes you more or less manly in the
gym is pretty much just ridiculous in my view.
I don't even really think it's something to even consider when you're trying to decide
whether or not you should use them.
I think some guys just take weight training a bit too seriously.
I mean, I've been training consistently for over 15 years and I love doing it and I would
recommend it to pretty much everyone, but don't forget that at the end of the day it's
just lifting weights in a gym.
It's not this super hardcore thing.
You're not fighting for your life on the beaches of Normandy here.
You're picking up a bar off the ground basically.
So lifting straps or no lifting straps, I wouldn't use that as a serious metric to evaluate
your toughness.
And the reality is that, most of the same people who would say to not use lifting straps
for that reason, or because they see them as a crutch, are the exact same people who
would have no issues using a lifting belt, or lifting shoes, or knee wraps, or you could
even extend it further into something like using a pre-workout.
It's just a tool to enhance your training to get the results you want.
So if your goals are primarily hypertrophy based, so your main focus in the gym is on
increasing your muscle size, and if you find that using lifting straps helps you activate
the targeted muscle more effectively on certain exercises then go ahead and use them.
I've used lifting straps in my routine for almost the entire time I've been training.
And I use them on pretty much all back exercises, especially, for heavier stuff like shrugs,
or for things like Romanian deadlifts as well, or on even heavier sets of rows things, like
that.
I definitely find that by not having to think about my grip, I can just put a hundred percent
of my focus on overloading the specific muscle I'm trying to hit.
And I also find that my traps and lats and mid-back muscles end up getting a better workout
that way.
It's not a dramatic difference and I could still do fine without them, but since having
a super strong grip just isn't really a big deal to me, it's not something I have practical
use for, it makes sense for me to get that maybe, you know, extra ten or fifteen percent
improvement in muscle activation by going ahead and using lifting straps on certain
lifts.
Now, on the other hand if you are training primarily for strength and grip strength is
an important thing to you, or you just have actual practical day-to-day use for it, or
if you're a power lifter, or an Olympic lifter, and you need to be able to perform your lifts
without straps then of course don't use them.
It just depends on your goals.
And then the other possibility is that you're training both for aesthetics and you also
want to maximize your strength as well including your grip strength.
In that case, I think a good option would be to use lifting straps or hooks on certain
exercises if you find them beneficial in terms of building muscle, and then just incorporate
separate grip strength exercises into your training.
Because, keep in mind that targeted grip training exercises are still going to build up your
grip strength a lot more effectively than what you're going to get just by not using
straps on, you know, rows ,or pull downs, or things like that.
Because with the actual grip specific exercises you can actually take your grip all the way
to failure using the full loads that they're capable of handling.
Whereas on regular weight training exercises, you're probably not going anywhere near failure,
in which case your grip may not even be getting that great of a workout in the first place.
So the bottom line on this is that, just like a lifting belt, or lifting shoes, or pre workouts,
or even listening to music when you train, weight lifting straps are just an optional
tool that certain lifters can use depending on their goals.
From a pure muscle building perspective, I think they are helpful for back training when
they're used properly.
So if hypertrophy is your main goal I don't think it hurts to give them a try.
One of the biggest challenges with back training is being able to take your forearms and biceps
a bit more out of the equation and shift the stress onto your actual back muscles.
And that's why a lot of lifters tend to have underdeveloped backs.
And I think lifting straps are one way of helping to improve on that.
So, I think it is worth experimenting with for those who mostly train for aesthetic purposes.

Jelly Bean Rubber Mulch Safety Play Surface Warranty Explained - Duration: 16:38.
OK great. Hey it's Clark here
with Nick Campesi from
Jelly Bean Rubber Mulch.
Nic how are you?
Fantastic, how are you Clark?
Oh I'm doing excellent thank you.
I appreciate you taking the time to
answer a few questions today about
the warranty on
Jelly Bean. But first let's start
with this, can you tell me a little bit
about the Jelly Bean Rubber Mulch product.
What it is and why it's unique?
Yes. So the big difference
of the Jelly Bean Rubber Mulch product
over the other rubber mulch products
that are in the marketplace is that we
do not use tire rubber.
Everyone else is using an old dirty tire
where we're using pre-consumer
virgin rubber.
That is initially compounded
for a child to play on.
So these are rubber tiles that are safety
tiles that are, we're taking the excess
the trimmings the tiles that weren't
perfect or didn't meet spec,
we run them through a chipper.
And that's what we make our product
out of. So we're getting a product that
is guaranteed 100 percent wire-free
guaranteed not to have any red list chemicals
or any contaminants that could
be found in products like tire mulch
from the roadway.
And there's also
paint that's on the product so
you don't have to worry about paint coming off
on the on the kids like you
do with the tire mulch.
So it's just a much cleaner alternative
and it comes in at less than half the price
of a unitary surface
such like a pour-in-place
or turf and so it's so really
good sweet spot product in the marketplace to
get good clean
surfacing for kids to play on.
Absolutely absolutely.
And what is the warranty on the
product?
So we warranty the Jelly Bean Rubber Mulch for 20
years against the degradation
of the rubber.
Oh wow so 20 years.
And that's that's if the rubber
is degrading?
That's correct.
Yeah, we're going to warranty that it's going to hold up for its head
impact rating for a period of 20
years.
And do you deal
with a lot of warranty claims?
And if not why?
You know
fortunately in ten years we've yet to have a warranty claim on
degradation.
And the reason why is because
we have a 60 year test
on the product.
You know one of the things about rubber is
once it's vulcanized it really
holds its shape
and it doesn't break down
and that's really one of the hard
issues that
causes you know the disposal to be an issue
of rubber and that's why you know you try to
keep rubber out of a landfill because it doesn't
break down.
And so are our product
will not break down.
And so we're very confident to be able to offer
a 20 year rating on it because
we have the 60 year test that we know
it should hold up for at least that long.
Yeah that's excellent.
That's excellent. So
you know and that's amazing you have not had
anybody call it in warranty
but if someone were walk me through
a scenario that you could see someone
having to call in this warranty what
might happen?
Yes so in the event that
they had some surface degradation
something was happening then we could ultimately
have a have a test performed
on the rubber to see what's going on
with it. We would also be able
to test the
head impact attenuation on the surface
to see where it's at to try to understand
you know what's causing the issue
and ultimately you know it's an issue
that the product is breaking down.
We would replace enough material
to make sure that it gets back into specification.
For 20 years?
For a 20 year period.
That's excellent.
Let me ask you about this.
Does Jelly Bean stay put
or does is it prone to loss because when you
think about mulch you think about
you know maybe natural mulch
and how it might degrade.
So does Jelly Bean stay put?
It really does.
Now ultimately you know you could
have a situation where
you may have to add a ton here
and there. You know there's a couple of thing that
we recommend.
One we always recommend that you seal up
the subbase meaning that you don't want
the rubber compacting into
the subbase so you want to have a weed
barrier fabric down a
heavy duty one you know one is rated for
at least 20 years.
We recommend at least 30
or longer on these fabrics.
And that's going to keep the material from going into the
subbase and in addition you need to have a good border system
around the sides to make sure
that the mulch isn't really being kicked out by
kids. Ultimately you could have a little bit
carried off here and there.
And you may have to add some.
However the cool
thing about our product because
it doesn't have wire in it.
We're able to cut it into different sizes.
One of the issues with the tire mulch is that it all
kind of has to be about the same size uniform
piece where we triple screen our
product. So we have some smaller pieces
some medium
and some big
and it makes a very dense surface
which helps the material
stay put because it doesn't
get kicked around as much.
And so interesting
enough we actually passed the
ADA test for accessibility
for wheelchair accessibility.
And it's hard to do that
with most loose fill
surfaces because the pieces tend to migrate
where ours tend to stay put.
And you know that's not something
that we've kind of figured out in the office.
You know we actually tested this
with multiple different playgrounds
and we looked at two
or three different ways of putting
it in really big pieces small
pieces medium pieces
and then we found the best performance
for head impact attenuation accessibility
and the material staying put
was this triple screen
design where we have multiple
size pieces.
I always tell people
think of it this way you know if I give you a five gallon
bucket
and I said fill it up with baseballs you have a lot
of airspace in there
and it would tend to kind of move around some
whereas if I gave you some marbles
and golf balls to kind of all mix in
you'd have a heck of a lot less air space.
And that's the concept
of why our product
is different than a lot of
the other loose fill materials on
the marketplace.
Yeah that's really interesting.
And you mentioned that
there is more density to it so
you're in Houston right?
That's correct.
Did the recent hurricane floods
cause a lot of issues for
your clients?
Well you know here's the interesting
thing. We had one client
that we had we had several that did take
on water. You know some several feet
over the playground.
And this wasn't the first
time this past hurricane.
We've had people going all the way back to 2008
with the hurricane that hit.
The floods in Baton Rouge in 2016
had several customers flood.
And interesting enough I'll
I'll I'll tell you almost every
playground.
Most of the rubber is still there
even after having several
feet of water.
Over the top of the playground.
And it's because our product does not
float.
And so it's not
going to really
disappear.
Now the only drawback there is some issues
that were caused
with the hurricanes where
some people had problems
with you know contaminated
water getting on a playground so
they had to go through different steps to remediate
to get this rubber clean
or either top dress it
and all because they had other contamination
issues. But as for the rubber moving
that's one of the best things is that there
was a playground that I had to see
with my own eyes to believe it.
It flooded in 2015 2016
and 2017 three
times. About three to four feet of
water on top of every
every playground each time.
It was two to three different playgrounds
on site.
And I walked in to look at it
and I couldn't believe it I mean the playground
probably would've passed specification.
That's amazing.
Now it is
really interesting because you have
this unique product. It does
hold up really well
but I think some people would wonder
if they go about financing
the product because if you're going to build a big playground
costs could get
could add up.
Would there be any kind of
less warranty
or other issues if they finance
the product?
Absolutely not.
No. If you finance it
pay cash credit card in any way
it does not change.
The terms at all whatsoever.
OK great. That's excellent.
So what do you see as
an average warranty for
say the other kind of rubber
playground surface out there rubber tire
mulch?
So the tire mulch will have
a similar warranty as us.
You know they are going to be pretty close
in the timeframe against degradation.
Once again you know they're dealing
with vulcanized rubber the same as
I the difference which you see
with their rubber though is you know
they're warranting
a paint coating
sometimes for 12 years on
average.
And if you read the fine print you know they're saying
that all of the paint won't come
off or half of the paint won't come
off. I mean they're telling you the paint
is going to come off.
I mean it's no secret you can ask people
over time you know the paint
will come off of
tire mulch. You know it's you know I
always tell people if you could find paint
that's going to stay on rubber
and not come off I'd love to know
because we would implement that.
But it is
difficult to get paint to stay on rubber
and not to bleed off on the
kids.
And is your product painted?
It is not you know that's one of the big differences
you know we choose not to paint the product
just because we know that over time we
don't want the coating fading
on the product.
Sure sure. So
what are some issues other than
the paint fading that people might
have with rubber tire mulch
instead of say the Jelly Bean rubber?
So one of the big things kind of just to
touch on that painting you know a lot of the reason
why they paint tire mulch is because
it's so filthy to begin
with. And you know we have a little higher durometer rubber
it doesn't leach
and so we really don't have to paint it.
And that that should be noted you know
because tire mulch
if you don't paint it you're going to have kids running
around with black
streaks all over their clothes
and this stuff is just filthy.
And then a lot of the issues
that I hear customers coming
back and buying my product after
they have purchased tire mulch.
Or perhaps maybe a
something I hear you know someone looking
for an alternative is wire
because these guys you know they find wire
and you know these tire
guys you know they're not saying 100
percent wire free they are saying 99.99 you
know they're
guaranteeing it's going to have some wire in it.
And so it's
a real issue you know whether you get
a lot or whether you find it it's
in there embedded.
And ultimately
that has that has been a big
difference between the tire
company and us is that we can
truly say this is a 100 percent wire free product
because we never had any to begin
with in the product.
Sure
and for the other type of
play surfaces how
does the Jelly Bean warranty line up
compared to those that someone were to install
poured-in
or a natural surface etc..
How does the Jelly Bean warranty line up against
those?
So you know if we're going to go
with like the bottom line
you know you're really not getting a warranty on a wood
mulch product because you know it's going to
rot as soon as you put it down.
You got to keep adding it
and then you step up into like
the real higher end stuff above
what I would consider you know the three times
the price that the Jelly
Bean rubber mulch falls is like unitary
surfacing. You know some of it
you know could be less like pour-in-place.
You're going to see warranties on that product
like it's three to five years on a
pour-in-place product.
Now the challenge
with it is you know that's
usually not a DIY fix
that's something someone has to come back
out
and mix up some some
binder and rubber together
and fix and let me give you an example.
You know there's a very
large school district that we do some
work with and they had purchased
quite a bit of pour-in-place before
we became a business.
And you know they shared
with us that they basically had someone
running around in a circle fixing pour-in-place.
Now this is a big school district.
But they got a guy that you know
every few months has to go somewhere
and just kind of do a repair to it
you know and the stuff just picks off it's just
one of the issues that's why it's typically
only warrantied for three to five years.
You get into a little higher end surface
like a tile a tile
is going to be manufactured under
controlled circumstances
in a factory.
And so you're going to get a better
finished product
but ultimately tiles do buckle
and they have issues as well.
Even the best tiles you know they'll have
like a 15 year prorated
warranty.
So say you make it to year 14
and we determined that you know these tiles
aren't functioning
and that there is some flaw.
You know you may get like a 10 percent
discount on
the
purchase of a new tile system
or so.
So it's not you know
a true
15 years you know hey we're going to replace
the whole thing.
You know it is a prorated
warranty on a lot of the tile systems
and some of them aren't even near 15
years. A lot of tiles are only warrantied for
about five years
and then I'll touch on turf
as well.
You know a lot of turf.
Some of it. Eight to 10 years you see in
the marketplace.
You know turf has its own issues
as well.
You know you do
have to make repairs whatnot for
it but it's
a lot of money to have to
possibly replace it in eight to 10
years.
Right. And I was going to ask is there
any product like Jelly Bean on the market
I mean do you have a competitor
or anything?
There's really not.
And the reason why
is because you know
we have a small amount
byproduct material
and you know we
look at a lot of other rubbers that
is close to spec
but if we can't guarantee they didn't have
contamination
and that they don't have red list chemicals
and they don't have anything that a child
is not safe to play on
filate free sterile latex free
you know all these things you have to take into consideration.
And so it really limits
the type of rubber supply of
rubber that we could use.
And you know if we were to go out
and just buy this rubber
and do it I think we would be almost
ten times the cost.
And so it is
just very difficult to find
suitable rubber so I think
that you know we kind of have
a hard time you
know in the marketplace finding
more and so it is a limited
supply issue
and therefore you know that's the reason why
there's not more people doing it
and that's why you know we have
a hard time keeping up
with orders at times.
That's fantastic. It's a good problem to have if you are a
business.
Yes it is.
OK. And then last question for you
that I just thought of what you're talking about that
does the warranty cover indoor installs
if anyone were to install this inside?
It certainly
does.
Ok Because people
And that's a good you know a good a good note.
You know I mean we are
to my knowledge the only loose-fill product
that is certified in the state of California
to go indoors due to the fact
that you know we do have a rating on the product
that shows that
it meets the indoor air quality standards
to not emit VOCs.
And so you know there are products
that are unitary that
have that standard.
But to my knowledge
there are no loose-fill products besides
ours that meets that standard.
Right. Right.
Well Nick this has been wonderful.
I really appreciate your time to explain
the warranty for Jelly Bean rubber mulch.
Thanks Clark.
Thank you.
All right bye bye.

Making the Most Out of LinkedIn – Enhancing Your Digital Resume on LinkedIn - Duration: 4:24.
What's up Fish Fans!
My name is Marcus.
You're watching Marketing Madness, the Blue Fish vlog!
Our goal is to address common questions that business owners may have about marketing,
sales, and business.
In this episode I'm going to give you seven tips for making the most out of LinkedIn
Many of our clients, friends, and business associates are overlooking LinkedIn.
I know it is not as dynamic as Facebook, and can you believe they do not even offer stories
like Instagram!
However, LinkedIn is still a significant platform and should probably not be ignored.
Your LinkedIn Profile serves as your digital resume, accessible to all.
Tip #1 Personal Profiles We think many of you are missing the boat
if you are not active on the LinkedIn Platform.
You may even need to pay for the premium membership.
With this access, you can see every user that looks at your profile.
It is amazing how many people go and look you up after meeting them at a networking
event.
Knowing this profile view could potentially lead to a business relationship, wouldn't
you want to put your best foot forward.
Shoot for 100% completeness of your profile.
Add new skills, achievements, and examples of your work.
Publishing articles is a great way to establish credibility in your space.
Tip #2 Company profiles Next, let's ensure that you have created
a page for your company.
Take the same amount of time to fill in all the details and try to have your profile shooting
for 100% completeness.
Your Company Page should offer ample opportunities for prospective customers to learn more about
your company, the people who work there and engage with relevant content.
Tip #3 Define your audience and goals As with any marketing related objective, you
should have clear-cut goals.
Think about what your goals are going to be on this platform.
Are you looking to make new connections and build relationships, generate new leads, raise
brand awareness, or all of the above?
Once you have this in mind, your goals will be easier to accomplish.
Let's say that your company manages social media accounts.
A great way to establish credibility is to create conversations around successes you've
seen or experienced.
People are always looking for tips, tricks, or hacks.
This is a great place to share them.
Tip #4 Optimize your company page for search An effective company page has an audience.
Whether folks are searching on LinkedIn or not, a well-optimized page can help gain visibility.
Your company pages are designed to be SEO friendly.
Make sure to hit on the following points: Insert keywords into your description, link
to your company page, and share relevant content.
Tip #5 Add company page followers When platform users follow your company page,
your updates appear directly in their LinkedIn feed.
So the idea, like other platforms is to have a good following so that your reach is extended.
Here are some tips for adding followers: Start with your employees.
They are your biggest advocates.
Make sure they follow your pages and share your updates and content.
Ask them to like, comment, and tag on any posts made to the company page.
Next, promote your page offsite with your email signatures, newsletters, and blog posts.
Anywhere you put out content, add a link to your LinkedIn profile.
Tip #6 Publish engaging content LinkedIn loves when people publish original
and engaging long form content.
Think about the knowledge you own that your targeted prospect would find valuable.
This is where relationships can be formed.
While it can be tempting to push your product or offering on these platforms, don't.
Tip #7 Consider Promoting your best content When you create and publish an update that
is getting a good response, that usually means the market is finding your content valuable.
A good tactic here is to promote this post.
If your current followers find this material useful, chances are this is an excellent time
to capture more of the market, being it highly likely that others will engage as well.

How do you explain a rare disease? - Duration: 1:55.
The enzyme is like a pair of chemical scissors and basically we've got lots of
chemicals in the body which needs to be kind of chopped into little pieces and
then we use them or lose them through different excretions and in these
patients they just don't have this pair of chemical scissors so Hunter is an
abnormality of a sulfatase enzyme so actually work in the whole field of what
we call inborn errors of metabolism. My name is Chris Hendriksz. I was in the
fortunate position that I had a child with a rare disease myself so I
retrained in pediatrics in the United Kingdom and then started in ultra rare
disorders. For me it was a fantastic opportunity just to create more disease
awareness. The general physicians, the general anaesthetists, the ENTs, the nurses,
everybody to have that little bit of an idea that it allows me to offer my
expertise so when they get that first patient we could actually help them. We
all know that we're all very visual so I think using a visual tool to draw people
in and then structure the whole concept that you're gonna get little bits of
information kind of teasers which kind of leads you up to this ultimate Grand
Rounds. I think it is just amazing when you look at that amount of interaction. I was
blown away when I saw the figures. I kind of thought if everybody has a friend we
will end up with 500 people and then when I got the stats I actually fell off
my chair nearly because I really didn't expect that we going to have
that much people who actually interacted with the content. The thing I like about the
app is that you're able to meet a lot of mentors which are willing to teach you
and get instant feedback on the comments you've made. You've got this opportunity
that it doesn't matter who you are you could speak to the world expert and ask
your opinion your view and things like that and that's the beauty of Figure 1.

Why do we need to own past sins of the Church? - Duration: 2:04.
"Do you not also teach yourself, you who preach
"against stealing do you steal, you who say that people
"should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery?
"You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?"
and maybe someone
at this point is willing to say no, I don't.
Hey, Apostle Paul, I've never robbed a pagan temple
in my life, that's not me.
I haven't committed adultery, I haven't, I can go
through the list.
Now I realize some people have an issue with this,
that's not me.
But Paul says no, it is us and as us, we have to
address the issue and it's not appropriate to respond
by saying well, that's not my personal issue.
It is our issue together and so look at this
punchline here, he says in verse 24, as it is written,
"God's name is blasphemed" among the gentiles or the goyim,
that is the nations.
"God's name is blasphemed among all the nations
"because of you."
We just have to let that line sit with us for a minute.
Let's not move on too quickly.
The name of God, the reputation of God,
the honor of God is blasphemed among the nations
and we can't just point at them and say
you see, I told you.
They're so bad.
He says yeah, well it's because of you.
It's because of how you have lived.
When some of you live this way and the word is out there,
then you collectively have to own this and see
what the church, in this case, the people of Israel
in the first century.
People of God in the 21st century, what is people's
relationship with Jesus, with Christianity, with God
in light of how we've lived.

Celebrating Strides - How Are You Involved in Issues That Are Important to You? - Duration: 3:47.
I am actually really involved on campus so I actually serve as student body as president
so I am always trying to go everywhere and make that sure I kind of have a little bit
of everything so these people know I want to be an involved student.
I actually volunteer at a children's hospital, so it's always nice to see the kids there
and to be able to feel like I am helping them make their day and get through whatever they
are going through in the hospital.
I actually tried to improve awareness by mentioning that I do have Autism.
I want to actively try and get out there in the world and show hey I'm Autistic I can
do all the same stuff you can and even more!
I did participate in a few marches.
There was the woman's rights march that was in Dallas and I went to that I'm
also a part of my neighborhood's watch program and so anything that goes on within
that county.
Si Beta um the is the national society in psychology here at TCC and we do a lot
of community service for that for instance this semester we are going to the special
Olympics and we do we act as cheerleaders for that.
I went to a public call with Chief Hall of the police, the new Dallas police chief to
speak about what is going on in the community of where I reside in and what changes that
she can make.
But I do try to be a voice and be active in what is going on.
I am a little older so I've done a lot.
I've worked for the American cancer society for 9 years.
I started my own mentoring program where I worked with I do work with communities
and churches.
Like Martin Luther King I want to die empty, Martin Luther King he said I want to die empty
knowing that I've given out everything as far as service.
So I think it's just something that is innately in me to serve.
I'm getting involved with in a lot of things here in TCC started with movement to get people
to follow and recognize others.
It only takes one person to get out their comfort zone in order to lead a group of others.
I want to be a police officer because first I think I can change people's different
perspectives and also I just wanna get the bad guys off the street basically.
I just start with my own close knit friends and try to sit down with the males of our
friends and figure out what is it?
How can we do better?
Like what, we try and pick at each other's brains to figure out what really is the
problem, like what is it all stemming from?
If we all like looked out for one another instead of ourselves oh my goodness.
The things that could happen for us in a good way because that if I was more worried about
you than myself and then in turn if you are worried about someone else like me instead
of yourself you know it just it would spread it would spread and you know that's, that's
a good disease to be honest.
Don't wait for tings to get better make them better because the people who took a
stand are the people we remember not the people who remained silent.
I may not know everything I do not know everything and I'm not going to but as long as I can
stay informed in the best way that I can and have a good overall sense of knowledge on
what is going on in the world then that's all I really need.
I don't need to be right all the time.
It really feels good to know that if I'm able to help even one person around me you
know I did good.
Just one person everyday good and as long as I remember that there is a lesson every
day in everything then my whole day was not wasted.
