00:00

Thank you We sneak in determination in school work last

00:06

month All right we're about to tell you something that

00:08

you will not believe it won't make one bit of

00:10

sense but it will be true It's not that you

00:13

might actually enjoy eating fish when you're older or that

00:16

your parents were kind of cool when they were younger

00:19

Kind of cool that don't push your luck there bob

00:22

No what we're about to tell you is even more

00:24

unbelievable than all of that So listen up Buckling down

00:28

and given your homework your best shot is actually easier

00:31

than not doing your homework at all All right look

00:34

we know that homer can be hard and we know

00:35

that sometimes takes a lot of determination to get through

00:37

it When it gets hard you probably just want to

00:39

quit right Well let's See how that scenario plays out

00:42

huh Well here is not doing your homework Maybe you

00:47

go outside and play more realistically You sit inside and

00:50

play on the computer Sounds easy right But here's the

00:53

thing the next day in school your teacher well isn't

00:55

happy Maybe you're sensitive tension which means you can't hang

01:00

out your friends and maybe down the line You flunk

01:03

a class and have to take it again which means

01:05

you're no longer in math with all your buddies and

01:07

maybe way down the line Those poor grades aren't good

01:09

enough to get you in the same college is your

01:11

friends if any so instead of getting that job you've

01:14

always wanted you're stuck working three jobs just to make

01:17

ends meet How's it going there bob picking up garbage

01:20

on the side of the road for a living Come

01:23

on give me some of that It all happened because

01:25

you thought it was easier to not do your homework

01:28

but really what's easier buckling down and persevering through your

01:31

homework getting it all done or working three minimum wage

01:35

jobs for the rest of your life with everyone kind

01:37

of you know looking down again It's our joint well

01:41

that's what we thought so next time the great outdoors

01:43

is calling for the great internet whatever send it to

01:46

voicemail and take a stab at your homework instead Get

01:49

it done You might be surprised where that path leads

01:52

yet But we're not sure if any path that leads 00:01:54.126 --> [endTime] to a pencil Enjoyment of fish The right path
