if you're serving AEM serve him like where you're not just serving him for a award of some kind you're serving him without any award that's the highest level where even like job said even if you were to kill you still do it why because that's the highest level that's the ideal level what is this like if a father has two sons again and one of them really really loves the father and every time the father even hints that he wants something the kid immediately goes and gets it the father wants a coffee he runs and he gets him a coffee father wants somebody to go get milk he runs and he gets milk the father wants a book or paper or this or that he runs and he does everything right away the other son doesn't really like his father that much so he doesn't run anywhere and the father says listen It's upsetting that I don't see him I ask him for coffee he doesn't do it say okay you know what okay takes out his wallet he goes okay if you go get me coffee I'll pay you five bucks oh for five bucks sure he runs to the place gets some coffee thank you love you ABA he doesn't really love ABA he loves the $5 ABA wants paper ABA wants this ABA wants that every time it's for a payment so now when the father is going to do his review one day he's going to think about you know who do I really want to give my inheritance to the one that milked me for money every single time I asked for something every coffee cost me five bucks every ride cost me 20 every everything had a payment or the one that did it just because I asked him to just because he loved me who am I going to give my inheritance to well the one I paid him all this reward okay I love him he's great he's fine he's my son at least he did it he's not a terrible son where he didn't do it even after I paid him but the one to did it just because obviously I want to give him more so antigonos is telling you if you're already going to do it do it at the highest possible level shoot to be like Abu shoot to be likeu shoot to be like no complete with Hashem the greatest of his generation go for the best just like you want you go go to work you don't go to work because oh I want to make a basic living and be half homeless my whole life no you go to work to be multi-millionaire you want the next idea is going to be Microsoft the next idea is going to be Google that's what you think everybody thinks that everybody thinks their next idea is the greatest thing since life's bread that's why they go to work Napoleon used to say I want all my soldiers to want to be commanders any soldier who doesn't want to be a commander I don't want him to be my Soldier because if he doesn't want to be a commander then he's definitely not going to be a good soldier either you have an opportunity to be the greatest of great so an is telling you I learned from my shimik the greatest of his generation the one that was around prophets at all times the one that made uh Alexander the Great bow to him Alexander the Great the guy that runs conquer the whole world bow to him on all four I learned from him something amazing he's telling you if you're going to serve Hashem go for the whole pie and serve him out of complete love not just because you're going to get an award do it just because it's the right thing to do it's the right thing to do to work on your midot it's the right thing to do to not be angry and work on yourself to realize that there's really never a reason to be angry ever the only reason you're angry is because you have GAA you have pride you think that the world needs to run according to your tune and if it doesn't run according to your tune you're angry that's why the calls that idol worship you've made yourself a you think that the world should run according to your tune and if you think the world needs to run according to your tune you're a mini God you have a problem there's no share of the world to come to somebody as a mini God so someone that knows this is okay it's dangerous to have anger I have to work on myself I have to work on not being angry why am I angry why do I get upset every time the baby cries why do I get upset every time my wife wakes me up in the middle of the night with a question why do I get upset because this is this happened all these different things that happened to your life everybody has their you know little things pet peeves that annoy them why does it annoy you why does it make you so angry I mean it's it's mindboggling sometimes how big things don't matter but small things make you want to destroy the world like Hashem did with the time of Noah I tell you personally before Tor if I was God I would destroy the world every day every day I had like I would get upset at these small things and I would literally want to just destroy the world like this guy came late sir you just made a million dollars today I don't care but one of my employees came in six minutes late what do you care that he came in six minutes late my whole world changed because the guy came in 6 minutes late you made money you did this do make a difference but that's the thing when you have no real purpose in life you make small stupid things your purpose so someone that wants to serve Hashem and get to the highest level has to know this obviously a track of how to get there you have to work on these mid you have to work on your character traits which is the reason why we're doing this whole series to begin with but he's already telling you from the beginning listen the Torah is not of the mindset that you're not able to do something the Torah will never tell you that you cannot be the most righteous person of your generation the Torah will never tell you that you're not able to be a the Torah will never tell you that you cannot do anything that's will get you the greatest ever Torah is the opposite he's starting the mishna the first three Mish it's not like somewhere in the m maybe it's less important shom but the point you get my point here the opening the Mish with this lesson that telling you listen if you're going to already service God be like abah already be like Noah be like Moshe go for everything why are you settling for just one little Diamond okay so you do really good do the prayer too not just theing why just the prayer act accordingly be a walking SE learn some T also why just learn T fulfill it too do what it says in the Torah why just fulfill the Torah when you're in private do it in public show people why it's a great thing to be a Jew and why you're proud to be a Jew why you want to die to be a Jew go for the whole thing don't settle for half of modesty like sometimes I have women that ask oh is this modest like you know they send you a picture of some clothes or or or they give you you know a question is this shirt modest is this thing if you're asking if it's modest obviously you realize there's some problem there if you're asking obviously it's not clearly modest right right on no yeah I wants to do it but you want someone to sign off that it's okay you want me to sign off so I can go to Gom instead I don't want to go to Gom for you you're not going to go to Gom for me no one wants to go to Gom for anybody else so why do you want me to sign for it you know it's modest or not same thing with people listen is this a kosher deal they sign a deal with somebody clearly not Kosher not legally and not ethically is this kosher you're asking me because you know it's not not that I'm telling people don't ask me questions ask me as many questions as you want that's how you learn but most of the time you know the answer your conscience knows the answer why because your study the same to that I studied inside your mother's womb it also studied the Torah we know the same Torah you know what's right and wrong everyone knows what's right and wrong so the first thing you got to ask yourself am I really am I being am I full of it if you're already going to do it do it
