Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “This is the most important thing I can teach my kids”.
What are some important lessons? You teach your kids oh run with scissors. No, that’s bad luke yeah, who taught you that! Wasn’T me um man, i don’t! I don’t know. I guess there’s like there’s a few things that i’m super hard-line about, like one of the things that i will say to my kids, constantly is nothing worth doing, is easy uh whenever they complain that something takes a long time or is hard i’ll. Basically, just like it’s like it’s one of my stereotypical dad responses like yeah. Well, if it was easy, it wouldn’t be worth doing so good thing. It isn’t because otherwise you’re wasting your time like that, that’s sort of the the rationale: if it’s easy anyone can do it. So if it’s hard, then you know, put your head down and get at it.
Um embrace the suck yeah. Another big one is manners, cost nothing. I don’t actually phrase it that way, but i am an absolute nazi when it comes to please. Thank you.
Excuse me. I have witnessed this yeah, i’m i’m like brutal. When it comes to that stuff, i will i will. I will pretend my kids don’t exist if i do not hear please uh, you know, even like men, they’ll be like hurt and crying and want me to pick them up and i’ll. Be like. Oh, my oh for real, though that i haven’t witnessed for real, though, and the reason for it is that it costs nothing and means everything to other people.
So, for me, it’s less about the actual words and it’s more about taking that fraction of a second to be appreciative or be grateful or acknowledge that you’ve done something that you you shouldn’t have, or or whatever it is, and it costs absolutely nothing and makes you A more pleasant human being to interact with so um so that that’s a big one, it’s just it’s it’s just part of the overall just be respectful to other people. Um, i don’t know i mean there’s just there’s not much other than just like. Don’T be a jackass, i guess um, the old, wise words of bill and ted yeah yeah be excellent to each other. Right like it’s uh.
Oh, i mean one that i harp on a lot. I guess is your siblings for life figure it out um. You know we don’t really. We don’t really tolerate them speaking to each other, disrespectfully um like if they oh, a whining is another one.
So if they, if they whine about anything, you know, one of my big ones is like. What’S the purpose of what you just said, will it make this faster? No, okay, will it make us all more comfortable? No, okay. Well, then, stop um, and it’s i don’t know. My kids are amazing because that kind of stuff actually works and it definitely wouldn’t have worked on me.
I was awful like you couldn’t go to a restaurant with me. I was like bouncing off the walls like that makes sense. Yeah thanks for that, no problem. I’Ve been around linus’s, kids, they’re very well behaved.
They are so kudos all right. Next one comes from mcgregor um and they say he says they say he hi linus. I work for a t-mobile dealer and was wondering if you’ve ever thought about doing a video like secret shopper, but for cell service providers instead of pc retailers. We’D love to the problem is that there are so many facets to a service provider that are uh device. Specific i wanted to raise legion specific sorry. I wanted to rage it tell this last show yeah yeah, i mean and, like i still think, they’re the best option locally for internet because of shaw’s whole fake fiber thing and stuff yep. It was yeah. I’Ve had good experiences.
I’Ve had bad experience with every telco. I just when your company’s that big too it’s the the chance you get someone really good versus a chance. You get. Someone really high is there’s like such a huge pool of people that that could land on. I don’t know, yeah .
