Description:
Committing to your schoolwork is great. Until it starts asking where you’ve been all the time, and telling you you don’t work hard enough, and it could’ve been with anyone else, but no, it’s with you… Then it just gets kind of weird, clingy, and uncomfortable.

Except it hopefully won't result in two kids and a
- 00:23
dog on the line committing to doing your homework whether
- 00:28
you're making that commitment to your teacher your parents your
- 00:31
friends your tutor or even yourself basically a promise And
- 00:35
by keeping promises you build trust on by breaking them
- 00:38
you lose it So uh why bother You might ask
- 00:43
Well here's the thing about building trust trust equals freedom
- 00:46
Let's Look at this scenario tommy here promises his mom
- 00:49
he'll finish his homework But when tommy's mom leaves he's
- 00:54
faced with a choice to do his homework or tio
- 00:57
not do his homework that is the question After all
- 01:00
there are fun things happening outside of his room So
- 01:02
which is tommy Choose atta boy tommy But in the
- 01:06
interest of showing both sides of the story let's create
- 01:08
an evil untrustworthy twin of yours There are those who
- 01:12
call him jimmy's faced with the same choices as tommy
- 01:17
you work or to play and we're sure we have
- 01:20
no idea home my what a surprise but there couldn't
- 01:24
possibly be any negative repercussions from kimmy's decision right Well
- 01:28
fast forward to the next Tommy and timmy asked their
- 01:31
mom if they can hang out there Buddy dave's place
- 01:34
let's Ignore the fact that tommy's mom would probably totally
- 01:36
freak out if her son had suddenly been cloned and
- 01:38
we'll take a look at what hap Well would you
- 01:44
look at that tommy's Mom just gave them an entirely
- 01:47
unscripted answer But more importantly since he followed through with
- 01:50
his commitment he's become more trustworthy End therefore he's afforded
- 01:53
more freedom And what about timmy Wow what a natural
- 02:01
and honest depiction of what would happen in this exact
- 02:04
situation if it were in real life Well it looks
- 02:06
like it's important to follow through with commitment to school
- 02:08
work It'll please your teachers and parents and it's beneficial
- 02:11
to be seen as a trustworthy person And not is 00:02:14.47 --> [endTime] a freaky evil clone Is that right
