[Music] you go to C job in English says a person was created to work what does it mean to work you have to toil you have to work hard so the says what do you have to work hard for he says the three most important things the three most important things you have to work endlessly your whole life one you want to live in you want to live in is you have to work hard for it why because this is a special land that if if you don't act appropriately according to what Hashem has for you the land will vomit you the reason why all of us are here in America is not because we're allim it's not because of that it's because at some point either us ourself or the previous generation our parents grandparents somebody made a mistake to such extent that the land vomited him could be our parents grandparents or a thousand years ago whatever it was the reason why am is in the exile for the last couple of thousand years is because the land vomited us but there's also a good part of it part of the mission of the last generation before mashia is to actually get the whole world to do chuva especially the people that want to convert to Judaism so put all four corners of the world as all says why why because there's going to be go that want to convert to Judaism in all four corners of the world and it's our job to be a light to the nation and help them convert but the point is is that a person needs to make sure that they realize that to live in there's no free lunch it's hard to live in but if you want to achieve it already expect it for it to be hard second thing that's hard says if you want to learn T you want to learn t don't think that you're learning math that if you just remember a few formulas in your head length times width times height the uh diameter squared pi times this you remember a few formulas in your head oh you're no my friend doesn't work that way T you have to learn day and night every day all the time if you want to have a chance of being a you want to just be an average Joe you want to just know to just enough to get by you still have to learn every day you got to it day and night you learn a little bit in the morning a little bit at night you learn the you learn the you learn what you need to learn you'll be okay but if you think that you're going to learn whenever you have time once a week once a month once whenever you feel like it you think that's going to be get you by says not possible not possible why it's not enough created you in the world in order for you to learn to every day some more some less depends how high you want to get to as far as your servitude of a but nonetheless every single human being must learn T every day I started with 15 minutes a day now 15 minutes may not seem like much and it's not but when you make that commitment every day that no matter what just like I eat and breathe every day I'm going to learn 15 minutes a day now everybody in the world has excuses I had more I had a business I had Health crisis I had all the excuses in the world not to learn 15 minutes I was a very busy person nothing's changed about but somehow I found a way to learn 15 minutes a day eventually I said you know what maybe 30 minutes maybe I could do 30 minutes but every day not 15 minutes today 7 minutes tomorrow next week I'll do an hour to make up for it no no 15 minutes minimum if I could do more more but never less just like I never breathe less I'm never going to learn less the 50 minutes is the threshold I could do more if I can but 50 minutes the threshold eventually I increase it to 30 minutes and then eventually more and so on and so forth point is every human being Jew or otherwise needs to do the same thing if they want to have a chance of learning T third thing says now has two places I always like to mention both to you G and G that's G you want to get there hard work G easy business easy don't do anything don't listen to Hashem drive on Shabbat go with go dress IM modestly eat whatever's in front of you do whatever is act like an animal G guaranteed all your money back ganeden ganeden you want to go to ganeden hard work why because the reward of ganeden is eternity that means you work your whole life 70 80 90 years you work hard but then your reward your prize is forever you never have to work again so for such a prize takes a little work how much is 70 80 years out of Eternity nothing nothing so that's the point says you want to go to heaven you want to go to about the good part it's hard work but it's only hard for 78 years after that it's easy after that it's easy so if you look at the uh the toil as in the right way like you are say you know what when is giving me a test in essence what is he trying to do says he's trying to elevate me he trying to make me a better version of me he's trying to give me more reward that's the right way to look at it but since naturally we want an easier life we say Hashem okay you know what give me a test but not too much go easy on me as if hm doesn't know as if hasm doesn't know so that's that's part of the reason but I'm sure there's other Tam other things we can say next question bring you back to [Music]
