| 0:05.0 | need noise because you are calm, you not need to be distracted because you are focused. |
| 0:08.5 | If you can be those three things, still, calm and focused, you automatically have presence |
| 0:13.4 | simply because nobody else has those three things. |
| 0:19.4 | Work on your game. Work on your game. Work on your game. Work on your game. |
