Starting from 3 minutes and 48 seconds, you will hear the great sage Wisdom from Robert De Niro. I've noticed that the most impactful Wisdom are usually the simplest.

YouTube has become TV with unlimited channels
YouTube has become TV with unlimited channels. I subscribe to YouTube premium so I must be careful not to get sucked into the black hole of unlimited channels.

The perfect way of naturally talking to digital assistants
When Google Assistant/ Google Artificial Intelligence/ Siri/ Watson or any other Natural Language Machine Learning assistant has reached its peak of talking to us (humans) as other humans do, this is the perfect example of what that would be like...until the 41-second mark. Haha.

Keep on Asking
Keep On Asking
"And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you." (NLT) ( Luke 11:9 )
The power of persistent prayer is incredible. Strength rises up in your voice as you continuously seek God's answer to your prayers. Rest assured that He will always answer: through fulfillment of your prayer, a firm "no," or by guiding your heart in a different direction, causing you to no longer seek the answer to that prayer. Go ahead and pray a specific prayer daily.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
I saw the film. I am humbled and proud to say that I was completely wrong. The problem with the trailer was that it was different, new, un-bombastic and did not give anything away, so I did not know what do expect.
The movie is one of the best written movies of the year. Tarantino has done it again. This is a man that has never made the same movie twice. He makes a different kind/genre of a movie each time. Complete originals. Give this man the Oscar for Best screenplay right now. This is going to be the first non-action movie that I will go and see in theatres more than once. I've only seen Avatar and Black Panther more than twice in theaters.
Once Upon A Time in Hollywood will be my second because there is a lot to unwrap. It would help if you knew the background stories of these real life characters though like Steve Mcqueen and Bruce Lee. It would put the scenes into context.
In a Tarantino film you will never know how a scene will play out until Tarantino shows you. You can NEVER guess. He is in complete control of your mind when you watch his film. Wow. Wow. Wow. I am going to post this on my blog folarino.blogspot.com OMG!!!!!!

My favorite scene in all of Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Reasons:
1. It shows the characteristics of each character. This is why they are called "characters".
2. It shows an actually reasonable way to discuss the serious issue.
3. It's funny.
4. It is very smartly written.
5. The cascading list of licensed debate moderators on the phone.

Twitter has made people better at English
Twitter has made people better at English for two reasons:
1. Because people are limited to 280 characters per tweet, they are forced to be economical with words. Most especially when Twitter had a 140 character tweet limit, and you could not do multiple linked tweets like you can do today. Because of this word limits, people are forced to be creative and have their idea expressed in just 2 or 3 sentences.
2. Because of 'likes', 'retweets', and 'comments', people have the incentive to say something of value. Something that will make the reader want to spread what they've read to others.
So, Twitter has made people more creative with words in both length and value, and in my opinion, has made people better with English.

Best lesson on Artificial Intelligence
Best lesson on Artificial Intelligence from the Stanford Ph.D. person that began the Neural Net and Artificial Intelligence program at Stanford. He wrote the syllabus. The class was 150 students the first year. It quickly became 700 in later years.
He created that Stanford class around 2009.
Elon Musk calls him the best Neural Net expert in the world. He works at Tesla to make Tesla cars drive themselves. Autonomy. His part, the second part begins at 1:51:46

Diamonds are created from Coal under pressure
Meaning, one of the most expensive objects is created by dirt under pressure. How does that translate for me?
I have to put myself under a certain level of pressure, for me to create something good and of great value.
So, I do not feel good while learning or working, it is alright. The results will show later on. Delay your gratification for great success and true satisfaction

"How To Be Confident" by Kayla Day from the movie Eight Grade
How To Be Confident
By Kayla Day from the movie Eight Grade (actually written by Bo Burnham)
One thing a lot of people think about confidence is that you are born with it...either you are confident, or you are not. You know, just like how some people are tall - you're either tall or you're short. But, it's not like that actually.
Confidence is a choice.
The really awesome thing about confidence is that you can just start acting like it, even if you feel like you don't have any. For example, I used to not be confident, at all. But then one day, I'm like, I wanna be confident. So then, I just kinda started acting like it, and then it made me feel good, and then I just actually started being confident without, like, trying.
And like, a big part of confidence is being brave. And you can't be brave, unless you are scared. So, for those of you are being scared about being confident, it's actually a big part go confidence, is to be scared and that's normal. Cos you can't be brave without being scared. So, go out there, and just like be confident. And if you don't feel confident, just do it anyways. Make yourself confident.

In Education, we need a class on how to turn Data into Information, Information into Knowledge, and Knowledge into Wisdom
"There needs to be a class, possibly taught every year on what it is to analyze knowledge, information, how to process facts, how to turn data into information, information into knowledge, and knowledge into wisdom. Because it is wisdom that you need to invoke when you are a leader" - Neil deGrasse Tyson
