but instead you hit it on the

06:40

foot or your

06:43

knee

06:45

okay all right so that was fun I love

06:48

learning new things no matter what it is

06:51

but I always ask myself like why beating

06:54

bloodborne without dying or spinning a

06:56

Frisbie or Slinky what like what's the

06:58

point uh but I think besides the obvious

07:01

one of it it just being fun I think it

07:03

no matter what you teach yourself the

07:05

best skill that I've learned from doing

07:07

different things is the confidence of

07:09

knowing that if I put in the time

07:11

eventually I will get it and there's

07:13

something very powerful uh about having

07:16

that confidence so I think no matter

07:18

what you learn stick with it even if it

07:21

seems kind of pointless at least for a

07:22

little bit I think having that

07:24

confidence to knowing I can do it is one

07:26

of the most valuable skills of all so

07:28

Slinky as fun as it is I might just be

07:30
