So, here's the question. Let's say you had you won the lottery. No, you okay. Excited. Won the lottery. >> Won the lottery. You cash in how much for the lottery? How much? >> 500 500 mil. >> Okay, Mo. We're good. >> We're good. We'll take it. Let's see. What's your imagining? It's good. 500 mil. So, Mo goes to get Mo is a great guy. Mo goes to cash in his lottery ticket and they tell him, "Listen, here's the 500 J. Not so fast. You have to dress in a clown suit." You know clown, you know the clown outfits with the red nose, the whole G, right? You have to dress like that in a month and you can't tell anyone why are you wearing a clown outfit. That means you're coming to Shu, you're getting you're going nice coffee, you're doing crazy things, going to the gym. You have to wear it. >> What? There's not anyone. Anyone wouldn't do it. And everyone would do it. Cloud, you're going to sh legit. You're going to the dome. You're doing everything. How about Jerry? He's not going to let you in for sure. But but now why everyone would do it? Oh, what happened to the canasaur theory? I care what people think. All of a sudden, you don't care what anyone thinks. You're dressing like a clown in the middle of Brooklyn and all of a sudden you don't care what people think. So what's the shock? Why do you care what people think in this case? Why? I was really >> cuz the reward is so great. When the reward is so great, I don't care what you think. When you understand what growth means is when you understand what getting close to Hashem is and the reward for that. I don't care what you think. I don't care what you think. The I have 500 mil in my pocket. Think I'm gonna care what you think. I'm not going to give that up. When you can understand the reward, we know you'll dress up like a clown. You'll dress up like a clown. You'll go to the weddings in the clown costume and you'll be and everyone's making fun of you, killing you. They're going crazy. Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo the Clown. No, they're starting hiring you for bar mitzvah. No, all of a sudden what? Well, all the all the all the guys are killing. Look at this. here this guy cuz you know I have 500 mil in my pocket. I don't care what you think but that's how we really are. We have 500. We have much more than that. Getting close to Hashem is everything. This world, next world, eternity. I'm going to give that up for what some guy that doesn't know about what he's talking about is going to think about me.
