This is the Warrior Kid podcast number 43, Ask Uncle Jake.

And this podcast is based on the five Way of the Warrior Kid books, way of the warrior kid,

Mark's mission, where there's a will, the field manual, and letters from Uncle Jake.

And the books are about young Mark, who faces a lot of problems that kids everywhere face.

But luckily for Mark, he gets help solving those problems from his Uncle Jake, who was a Navy

Seal and who stays with Mark in the summertime.

And there's also a movie coming out this year that does a great job showing the journey

of a warrior kid.

And this podcast is for kids to hear some more lessons from uncle Jake and

also to get the chance to ask uncle Jake some questions but before we get into the questions

I want to talk to you about an important virtue for warrior kids now as we, virtues are characteristics that you develop over time that make

you the person you are. They help you make decisions. They shape the way you think and they shape

the way you act. And we know that Mark learned important virtues that helped guide him. Things like respect and humility

and helping others and working hard, encourage, and discipline. Those are all virtues that Mark

learns. But there's another important virtue that I want you to think about. It is something

called temperance.

Temperance.

And what temperance is,

it means controlling your behavior so you don't go overboard with something.

You don't go crazy with something.

Going overboard and doing something too much

is usually not good.
