0:00.0	The energy that you had in the body at 16, you will not have it at 30.
0:06.5	If you just invest in your body as you age without knowing what's happening,
0:13.1	you have to invest in other things. Then you will see you can be whatever age and still be
0:19.6	vibrantly energetic. Did you fall in love with your neighborhood girl any time?
0:33.8	No? Okay. Suppose you are 16 years of age and there's a very pretty girl in the next door.
0:43.3	Do you have to focus on her?

2:21.0	them. That's how they are. But for you, a certain evolution happens. Not a small amount,
2:31.6	not a small amount of evolution. Though today scientists say,
2:42.4	between you and the chimpanzee, the DNA difference is only 1.23%, but 1.23% of what they're talking
2:55.6	about is from an amoeba to a chimpanzee. If it is 98.77%,
