You can either finish what you start.

0:04.7

You can either say, you know what?

0:07.1

I said I was going to do this and I'm going to do this even if it takes me longer.

0:10.4

No matter what it is, I'm going to keep my word to myself, you can do that.

0:14.5

You can push through, which PS is the best thing to do.

0:18.5

Or you can slow down your yeses slow down your yeses meaning if you're going to
