Summary

Happy Warriors are not tennis balls floating down the gutter of life. The one reliable definition of male. Let’s say a genie pops out of the lamp and offers you a ‘re-do’ of the ten years of your life; from when you were thirteen until the time you were twenty-three. Yes or no? I’d wager that you’d take up the genie’s offer. You won’t be surprised to hear that over 90% of the population agrees with you. Wouldn’t you love to re-make the many crucial decisions of those ten years but with knowing what you now know? Imagine how your life would be different if you knew when you were a teenager exactly what your own human nature was like and if you knew the importance of overcoming it and you knew how. If you knew the impact of clutter and chaos back then and you overcame procrastination and knew how money worked back then, how might your life be different today. So do a tremendous favor to a young person of your acquaintance. This show is about the magical ten years in life; ages 13—23 years-old. These are the years in which subsequent success in life is rooted and, sadly, the years in which the origin of future failure can usually be found. Here are the step-by-step success strategies that young people should follow for positioning themselves for everything good in life. The show is not about the importance of being cool. It is not about learning how to rap or tap dance and it is not about social media. But it is about sex and money; the two areas in which most men have the most regrets. Here are the things you wish you knew when you were between 13 and 23 years-old. The show starts with William Shakespeare and ends with Rudyard Kipling; those two very unpopular dead white guys knew a thing or two! Have you noticed lately that too many people get a thrill from bossing you around? I start off this show by explaining why. Learn how to get rid of bad habits. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The more the world changes, the more we find comfort in the things that never change.

This is Rabbi Daniel Lapin on demand on the Blaze Radio Network.

0:13.2

Welcome, everybody.

0:15.2

Welcome to the Rabbi Daniel Lapin show, where I, your rabbi, reveal how the world really works.

0:28.2

Thank you for being tuned in to one of the very few shows in the entire digital universe that

0:36.0

accepts absolutely no hush money whatsoever.

0:40.9

We speak freely on this show about the topics you really care about, and not just the things

0:49.4

you care about today, but the things you care about yesterday and the things you'll care about tomorrow,

0:55.5

with almost no exception, with very few exceptions, the show is not tied to specific events.

1:05.3

And one of the features essential for life success and just as essential for understanding how the world

1:17.5

really works is to fully understand the downward pulls in human nature.

1:28.4

The way the good Lord created us,

1:31.4

or for those of you who prefer to follow the idea that human beings are here

1:38.4

because of a lengthy process of unaided and random materialistic evolution, in that case, a quality that we've evolved.

1:49.8

You see, the point that you need to know the reality about our natures is really far more

1:57.1

important than where you believe those natures originally derived.

2:03.7

But the important thing to realize is that we have certain pulls towards the bad and the

2:13.8

destructive and the negative.

2:15.0

And as I'm going to tell you later in this show, there is a beautiful quote that Catherine Hepburn

2:23.3

speaks to Humphrey Bogart in an old movie called African Queen, where she really does tell the

2:29.8

truth about nature and how absurd it is for anybody to excuse bad behavior by saying, well,

2:39.5

it's natural. I'm just behaving naturally. And we've got to recognize that, yes, we do have
