Global okay this could be the final episode of theas ran our last 10 minutes of the ramban's letter to his son the Ran's letter to each and every one of us and the ran ends off telling his son read this letter I'm writing you once a week and don't do it any less than that consistency constancy now did the ran think so little of his son did he think his son had such a poor memory that he had to read a letter once a week you write an email to your child and you say do me a favor reread this email printed out you got to look at it every single week they go off to Yeshiva Seminary College you write him a letter and you say read it once a week why is the ran telling him read the letter once a week and the obvious answer is just like the introduces famously is with the worst introduction of all time if you want to sell a book what does he say in the beginning of his book that was our last 10 minutes of meeting we learned the entire missil together and if you want to listen you can find it all online and make sure to donate to be us online.org Global because you enjoy and benefit from it but the ran writes can you imagine trying to sell a book and the introduction to the book you say I say nothing new no novel ideas nothing impressive nothing that hasn't been said before now buy my book but that's how begins his book I say nothing new nothing Earth shattering nothing breathtaking but says the here's the key the things that are the most important and the things that we know already we're most likely to forget and neglect and they are the things that need to be most Forefront in our mind in our mind ask anyone in this room how much sleep you should get we all know should we be eating the extra cookie or the cookie at all we all know should we speak negatively about others we all know should we hit seven snooze buttons procrastinate struggle get out of bed we all we know the most important should we ever raise our voice lose our patience with our family we know the most important thing things and the ones who say it best and motivate us the most aren't saying something new but they're saying what we need to hear in a way that we can hear it and so ran is telling his son repetition repetition repetition karar Kazar motivation motivation motivation not because I'm saying anything new but because the things that are the most important are the easiest to neglect we need to hear them often so therefore read this at least once a week and not anything less than in order to fulfill it now again continues to his son that word that magic word maybe sums up everything is the ultimate conclusion to an email to a letter why do I want you to read this most Sons many sons many children not yours or mine but others you know their parents tell them something life left lessons motivation that okay all right I got it okay enough I heard you so thean is telling his son don't give me a I read it don't even put a check mark next to I read it once a week until you execute on it until you fulfill it until you follow up with it then what are we doing over here so the whole reason read it once a week and no less in order to put it into practice and what is he putting into practice the formula that we've spent a long time learning namely condition yourself to never get angry never raise your voice always speak calmly serenely never if you train don't try to manage anger the way to avoid anger is to always speak calmly in Le of anger the Unbound rights your heart is filled with an which is theid it is the greatest of all MOS to feel a sense of of humility and modesty to recognize there's AEM who runs the world then you'll never get angry because everything's according to his plan and instead you'll be filled with and the whole formula the ran is telling you really telling each and every one of us so don't just read it how many books are collecting dust on our shelves that we read it and said wow what a book that changed my life and an hour later we forgot what it says and we forgot to put it into practice the ran says read it once a week like Glen Gish read it once a week once a day how often do you read it once a day to live it now that word happens to be the beginning of our light here on our says Tam doesn't mean 247 to be a mmid is not 247 to be a Masid is whatever you allocate at Whatever frequency on whatever schedule be consistent don't miss be consistent we just interviewed we put it out today our new behind the beam zie samit game-winning Championship shot knocking Yu into the NCA tournament player of the year of his division three extraordinary basketball player even bigger Ben Tor in the base medish after he won that shot it went Al not only the video the fadeaway 3 but then in the Bas Med an hour later the zei S so we interviewed him his schedule up at 5 he is tumid tumid a mass he learns 10 hours a day practices ball four hours a day also squeezes in school you've got to be a rigid disciplined scheduled tumid and those who said to him one of the questions I asked how do you balance ball and being a Ben Tor and there were those who wanted to make him feel guilty dropped the basketball thing and when he did he said so then he just found himself being lazy and his learning was lazy but when he was driven and rigid following and pursuing the skill that God gave him in life it overlapped not only from being his best and having ins satiable drive on the court but also equally in the Bas medish when he wants to give up he said on second seder or night Sater because he's tired he says what do I quit in the middle of the fourth quarter if I don't quit in the middle of the fourth quarter when he wants to take off his filling and leave daving early he says what do I take off my sneakers in the middle of the fourth quarter before the game's over they never do I'm not taking off my Fillin either tmid Rashi says tmid doesn't mean 247 t means to always be consistent to never give up in order to find success in all now the ran doesn't say to his son so you're successful in the B medish so you're successful in the sh so you're successful in your so you're successful no every one of us will leave sh and we have a d d might take us to the supermarket to the gym to the boardroom or the operating room or the courtroom or wherever going in life so to find success by the way some of the hardest room in the world is our living room with hard the dining room these are the hardest rooms in the world to put this into practice to never raise our voice to live with humility to make space for others to surrender and recognize it's all Fromm to have success in whatever D wherever our journey is taking us next and to Merit that is reserved for the righteous and every read every day that you read my letter again the ran you know you could read this and be like wow how desperate is he to make his letter famous he he wasn't he didn't post his letter on Twitter he didn't sell his letter
