the pros and cons the cons let's talk about the cons why people stay away from that field they say it's no good they say that you don't retain much you're learning so much you don't retain it's a good time very good taino and to that i say if every day you retain one idea one concept you learn one new halacha just for that it's worth it they say you go too fast we're going too fast i learned in yeshiva we did 2 daff in six months what's this adafide business so when i was in the five towns i was introduced to that over there who spent his entire life up until recently in and he went out to the workforce he's in his 40s went out to the world and his wife told me that it doesn't really have time to learn tyro so i started shooting i said no maybe she joined the daf go too fast it's way too fast for me so i said okay i'll make you a deal if you could answer this question then you don't do the death so besides the carbon pesach and pesach how many carbonus is one mukhiv to bring on pesach uh didn't know the guy that's been learning his whole life i don't know he said you heard about carbohydrate yeah yeah i know i said how many are there i don't know you darwin you didn't know well he didn't keep his end of the deal i don't think he's not going to join us what else they say lumbus you gotta you gotta learn with london you gotta learn slow you gotta understand it's true i learned my whole life slow and lumbus but at the end of the day people are working and they're not learning at all so at least put some terror in your life and here's the biggest aide sahara the biggest aid sahara is you miss a deaf it's inevitable it's going to happen there's a simcha or a lane or something else you can't learn and you miss a daf or two and what happens is the azaren says you got to make it up and you start you try to make it up and it doesn't work you start falling behind even more and even more and eventually fall off the bandwagon and imagine it comes to see him ashas instead of making a scene on 2711 daf you don't make a seem at all why because in this yuma you miss three death that perfectionism is what kills daffy and what throws everybody off the bandwagon and so many people told me that this idea of no matter what if you missed five daf seven half we had one of the guys in the khabur his brother was lifted at a very young age and he sat shiva for seven days and he told us that immediately after shiva he jumped on board to where the daf is holding like we preach every day and barak hashem by the time succumb was over he made all the seven dhafa that's the way to do it you jump ahead and it's not just that you saw it in the abilities you saw it in all of life many people came over and said you know you saved my time mikro because what happened was back in the day they would miss one parasha and that was it they're done with mikra so you just skipped that parachute see this minus one parachute what's the big deal it's good for diets because you ate that one doughnut you're done with the diet so you continue right there you saw it in life now what are the pros my favorite saying taffy me is not about the duff it's about the yami the consistency of the daf to be consistent every single day to learn torah no matter what it's an amazing thing it changes your life when you learn entire every single day you don't have to worry about your habrusa not showing up you don't have to worry about over sleeping there's no harusa you're doing the daft everybody's going to adapt the consistency you're doing it on your kipper and you're doing it in disney world you're doing it on sundays you're doing it everywhere any place you're always learning every day no matter what you're learning it's an unbelievable thing if i wasn't doing the dive right now i wouldn't be learning because i showed up from america just a few hours ago but you have to do the daf the consistency um right over here it's guaranteed to change your life it's guaranteed to make you a better person ask anybody the number one comment that i got in america now people came over to me you changed my life i didn't change your life the torah changed your life when you learned tire every day your life changes you become a better father a better husband a better business person a better person and the actors the unbelievable actors that it creates within the shear when truly gordon in lakewood lost his eight-year-old son the amount of akhtas that was shown he wrote us an email that that's what kept him going during shiva people drove four hours in each direction to get to see him a lebavature from crown heights that never met him drove two hours to see him the emails the the somebody sent the kayak for his son the the computers the the gifts the the whole camaraderie the actress was unbelievable and it's not just him when stephen suckler was in the hospital the 40 year old with covet there were people that called him twice a day and he said that brought him back to life so the actress the camaraderie is unbelievable and it's not just our death it's any daft that you learn you can go to any show in the world and pick up a sheer there and it unites clyde's role as a whole and especially our share that we have such after such a variety of people you should have seen in muncie from the pasture gas there's a secret of the pious the long beards no beards this keeper that keep up it didn't matter we were all there doing one thing learning torah dancing in the same circle it was unbelievable tremendous after this mr prophet sas i just want to finish off the list there shaas includes everything as tyson says it includes naveem xuvem halakha aggada everything so when you learn the daf you're learning all of torah nigla mister everything and as i mentioned before every single daf almost has something new in it a new concept a new allah a new idea i'm scared to say this one last time i said it i got a nasty email i said 90 of people that are traveling are doing that for me unfortunately i was on a on a flight i didn't see anybody learning so i can't so i'm gonna i'm gonna go up it's 95 he was all mad at me it's like who told you you did you did a research no i didn't do research just common sense tells me that when you're learning lumbus and that's you usually don't bring your clients or both bears on the plane i've never seen but those guys typically don't even travel okay whatever it is 60 of the people whatever you want to say but you see guys with the gemara in online in an amusement park it's always taffy me guys and that's a very important thing about the vivi and also as i mentioned i stuck it in but there's nothing like starting off the day with daffodil amy and if it's not the start the middle but nothing like having that daft it makes you feel so much better all right fine
