youtubers out there who've really made a difference in my youtube life as you
regulars know by the way I keep looking at the screen I should be looking here
hear that you're they're not there that's I'm looking at myself sorry
if you regulars know I've been doing this since August the 12th this is
December the 20th so it's four months eight days that I've been a youtubers
I'm just a rookie at this a kid I know nothing and I knew
absolutely nothing when I started doing this I mean nothing I watched youtube
videos I didn't know how to make one and I have learned a zillion things Derral
Eve's and I'm gonna forget people so bear with me there are there are about
eight or ten influences that I follow all the time and I I just I just without
them I couldn't do it power power University my software boy I
director power director University Malik you're great he shows he shows us how to
work our software what does this button do what does this button do how do you
put this together with that I still know nothing about power director because
it's so complex there's so much to do on this editing I'm not an editor as you
can plainly see I talk into a camera and I kind of post it with a few pictures
it's terrible so I'm trying to improve as best I can as desperately as I can
who else oh I want to say hi to and just say thank you to you know just the
people out there who give back I really really folks out there know that I'm
sharing my stories of my lifetime my experiences and if it helps any of you
you know in your life great I'm thrilled that that to me is a massive compliment
my travel experiences is I think where I can really talk to you where I can I
hope motivate you or help guide you I suppose I mean I know I'm known as a bit
of a motivator with my former employees I used to have a couple retail
businesses and I still am in touch with these kids who work for me over the
years I once had a sports card store that I ran in a shopping mall in 1992-93
and I had six kids working for me at that time who were about 18 to 21 years
old and none of them quit they would never leave the firm I'd have trouble
paying them from week to week because business at the end was really declining
when the sports card market took off and then it crashed it really crashed and I
was scrambling to find a ways to pay these kids there
wages knew they wouldn't quit they just wouldn't leave kept coming back in and I
catch up with the paycheck and here we go again the next week I'm behind again
unbelievable I'm friends to them to this day it's
unbelievable it's inspiring now their parents with children and oh my gosh
things have changed and so I I hope I've been a positive influence on their life
or at least out how to not run a retail business just don't do what Bruce did
it's so simple so much fun the other thing I want to mention today I noticed
a little thing on Twitter this morning somebody posted a little tweet talking
about cruise ship sizes and stuff and that got me thinking I'm gonna do a more
detailed thing on this but I've been on a number of cruise ships and it's sort
of how big they are and how small they are and I've been able to kind of
compare you know between a 4500 type ship like 4500 passenger ship versus
maybe a 2,200 passenger ship and there's pluses and minuses on both sides I've
been on a haul in America's oyster dam and I've been on the Norwegian DG aid
those are ships in that 22 to 2500 passenger capacity and then I've been on
the Explorer of the Seas or El Caribbean ship that's huge and I've been on the
Norwegian epic which is 4200 4,400 passengers so those are 2 renal rather
large ships and and both of them have things going for him but what I notice
about being on a cruise ship is group ship is only as big or as small as the
area that you're on in any one point in time on the cruise ship I mean you know
if you're walking the promenade deck along the outside which I love to do by
the way if I'm not on the promenade deck three or four times a day something then
we must be having bad weather because I love to walk around the ship especially
when it's moving I just get such a kick out of that when you're walking the
promenade deck you know you got 900 feet down this side and 900 feet down this
side it doesn't matter if the ship holds 5,000 people or or 2,000 people it's 900
feet of walking just to go down the length of these cruise ships
I love doing that and watching the waves crash over the side and you know the way
that we're looking out over the sea or in the back of the ship I love being at
the back of the ship and watching the wake from behind as we you see the water
turning up and all the white foam that comes to the surface and it's over over
the distance you see the waves slowly you know leveling off again as the ship
has passed and looking way back way out the the waters all blue again and as if
there wasn't a ship there the evidence of a ship is gone it's a it's really
fascinating to me I just love watching that why one of my earliest childhood
memories when I was six years old my parents my sister and I we were coming
back from Europe to Canada on an ocean liner and I remember I've never
forgotten this my father was holding me in his arms and we were towards the back
of the ship up a couple of decks so we could look down the back of the of the
ship and then the wake behind it and I remember as a trial just staring out
into the distance and as a six-year-old you know a half a mile distance seems to
be five miles to an adult you know it was just endless and seeing the North
Atlantic you know the waves of the North Atlantic going along and it really was a
stunning sight and I've never forgotten it
my dad and I must have been out there for three or four minutes I suppose to
me it seemed like an hour but what a fantastic view and to this day as an
adult I I just love doing that and of course brings back memories of my father
wonderful times fantastic experience anyway I think that's gonna be it for
today again thank yous - for those out there who give back and make us laugh
make us happy inspire us motivate us get us going garyvee just came to mind
