1981 before I was
born before all of you were born um 1981
was a very special year does anybody
know what came out in
1981 no one the first personal computer
came out in 1981 created
by
Mor IBM IBM came out with the first
computer in 1981 and can you imagine
until then computers were only located
in universities only extremely wealthy
people had a separate room that hosted a
huge
computer and 1981 IBM came with the
first computer so now IBM wanted to make
it exciting so they joined forces with
kellogs and they said that they're
putting two free tickets which will earn
you a computer in rice Christy boxes
across the United
States and that's what they did
and can you imagine how many boxes of
Rice Krispies were bought in that week
two weeks people were buying Rice
Krispies they're eating it day and night
just to get the first chance to get the
first
computer one day Tuesday afternoon
Little Johnny 10 years old comes home he
saved up a few dollars actually a few
cents back in the days and bought
himself a box of catalogs and some rural
town in Wisconsin and inside he has a
ticket to a brand new computer
the New York Times all came down excited
wow Little Johnny won three days
later Scott who's 85 lives in a farm in
Nebraska buys himself his first box of
catalogs since he's been five and he
opens up and he wins
also so can imagine little little Johnny
the day arrives the computer arrives
through
ups and the whole all the media is
outside his house this they drop off
this box with the first computer ever
used by a person in his own house and
little Johnny is so excited his parents
help with his computer and he excitedly
rushes into his room puts it down on the
desk plugs it in G doesn't turn on he
tries this he tries that 5 10 minutes go
by he can't this computer is not turning
on he's getting upset more and more
upset you can imagine the media outside
with all the cameras trained and every
window everywhere waiting for it to come
out and show how excited he is with the
first computer half hour goes by 45
minutes go by goonish suddenly they hear
a window breaking computer comes flying
at one window 3 seconds later the mouse
comes out a different window 5 seconds
later the keyboard comes out a different
window and you hear screaming from
inside this stupid company IBM can't
produce a normal computer it doesn't
turn on it's worthless it's not worth
the plastic and he's screaming and he's
mad the media imagine New York Times
next day highlights IBM a scam worth
nothing and you can imagine Fox News had
the opposite that the boy was too stupid
you can imagine the media was going live
withi two days later the computer rides
in Scott's house in Nebraska 85-year-old
he's so excited since he's a little kid
he's heard of the idea of computer he's
so excited to open the open a box with a
computer and if he's
psyched again get to this time to come
with helmets cuz they don't want to get
hit by a computer K he brings the
computer in same thing 10 minutes later
go 10 minutes go by scats doesn't turn
plugs it in nothing's wor he says how
foolish I am IBM the famous IBM created
the first computer and the 10 figure had
to turn it
on we're all little kids created us we
had so much we were so happy remember
when you were 5 years old we driving the
bike down a mountain backwards
blindfolded incoming traffic you were
mischievous you had ideas you you you
had that inner you made people laugh
around you you had aspirations remember
the aspirations we all had one guy man
one guy's going to be a billionaire one
guy be an Asin the fourth guy's going to
be all three put together everyone had
the dreams the aspiration what what am I
going to turn out to be I'm going be
this guy I'm going to be that we had
aspirations we had these great ideas we
had such laughter we had such
happiness and then what happens is we
turn 13 14 15 and what happens we ENT
Shana and life slows down a bit we start
getting complicated we start having
self-doubt who are we what are we worth
who am I we start craving Independence
we don't want we don't want to listen to
anyone is bad my parents don't
understand my understand me and then we
start doubting ourselves we start am I
am I am I worthy am I someone that's
worthy for for show am I worthy to live
who am I what's the purpose and you
start questioning yourself you start
doubting yourself you start pitting
yourself and then some people
unfortunately lose that that inner that
inner spark that we have in
kids but we forget that's not like that
the I created a perfect computer we
either could be the child who says his
computer's messed up IBM is a scam and
throws the computer out or we could be
the Za and says
iish the designer of this computer was
the iish himself our father and Sh
created this computer he didn't make a
mistake the design of this computer
cannot make mistakes I wish is perfect
you created us yes I know we downloaded
some things we should have downloaded we
caught some viruses right we we didn't
update certain certain things and the
computer's slowing down it's not working
properly but don't forget the IBM
computer was still created by the iish
it wasn't created by by a scam it was
created by the perfect Perfect Design
designer so sh ask me what's the purpose
of sh ask me why are we here sh ask me
is the time we go away from our daily
life go away from and come out into
nature to figure out to refigure out who
are we
what's to rekindle who we are and to
ReDiscover that the design of our bodies
the design of the design of who we are
and where we come from it's perfect
there's no mistake there was no mistake
and I know he's hiding in a corner
somewhere
most to build this beautiful
organization together
[Music]
with and they believe in this mission to
help B ReDiscover the the inner inner
fire that we some of us lost and we and
learn new things that we weren toward
download new programming and they they
paid they spay so much money to the most
amazing speakers we have question on a
question in relationship is the perfect
person he's here for you 24/7 any
question any time there's no questions

about marriage ask our most
amazing any question you have if you
think of you can speak to cats maybe you
could help me with that you need to go
to B of wine you can ask R we have
everything covered here
so I want to end off with a very famous
quote I'm saying it's famous but maybe
it's not maybe you never heard of it
it's a very very deep quote and it took
me a few minutes to cap it it goes like
this the five colors make a man blind
the five tones make people deaf so I
read this line I was confused what does
it mean what does this line mean I
thought into it that which trained that
there five colors right trained this
what it is it's five colors we trained
is five tones right if you do music
there five tones you know voice training
there five tones we train that's what it
is and everyone accepts it and I realize
that people accept that they're five
colors this is this is who I am K this
is how I was created I'm like this this
is who I am that's why I know to be and
that's who I am you limit yourself to
five five six things and
z and that makes people blind you don't
see yourself properly you don't see
yourself and you don't see yourself in
in a p proper perspective who you are
cuz you're seeing yourself so limited
and so like scientifically I'm five
things this is who I am I'm limited this
is why hasm created me and z now I'm I'm
excused that makes us
blind so the shabas me is about making
us have more than five colors we're way
more than five colors we're way more
beautiful than five colors there much
more shades of us there much more there
much of a purpose to us so I wish
everyone
properly I wish I I say with 100%
sincerity I wish I had this opportunity
to send the crowd like this and had real
renowned speakers open my heart so I
want to introduce our
first guest all the way from
America who's going to open our hearts
and is known with his background through
hisis through his through his therapy
through everything to open a person's
mind so be open-minded and ReDiscover
yourself
