0:08.0	and I'm Justin Malik, your personal narrator, reading to you every day, including holidays,
0:12.6	from the best blogs or articles I can find. And I'll get right to our next article and continue
0:17.7	optimizing your life. We have what it takes by Sid Savara with Mark and Angel.com.
0:27.3	Day 1. The very first day of class I walked in and addressed my students. You'll be
0:34.8	graded on your homework, weekly quizzes, and two exams. I do not play favorites, I do not

1:58.0	but Albert stayed in his seat. I pulled him aside after class. Albert, I hope you understand the
2:04.3	situation. You could easily pass this class if you took a different section. You know that I
