when i first started nas daily i didn't
want it to be a travel vlog i didn't
want it to be about hotels or beaches or
whatever i wanted nas daily to change
the way you think i wanted nast daily to
be full of ideas that just cannot escape
your brain
and this is why i love the following
video it's a collection of four ideas
that i cannot stop thinking about and
you are going to fall in love with them
i hope you're ready for a complete life
makeover
[Music]
what i'm about to say will anger some
people
because you can't learn how to swim
without jumping in the deep end of the
pool
let me explain
most people who want to learn how to
swim or learn anything new they enter
the water step by step they go in slowly
they ask questions they hesitate and by
the time they're halfway there
they quit
[Music]
two years ago i did not know how to use
a camera
but i wanted to learn so instead of
going to film school for two years ask
questions and hesitate i bought this
camera and made terrible videos every
day with it and after hundreds of days i
became an expert at this
[Music]
[Applause]
i jumped from the deep end of the pool
even if i hesitated in the beginning
this experience has taught me to become
an expert at anything you have to go all
in trust me you'll come out from the
shallow end knowing how to swim and how
to win
that's one minute see you tomorrow
this is a rock and this is water if you
pour water on a rock nothing happens but
if you pour water on a rock time after
time after time
sorry cut the video
i need to tell you something you are not
subscribed to nas daily youtube channel
that's why you need to subscribe before
the end of the year 2022 we want to get
to 10 million followers and please
please please subscribe so we hit our
goal and reach many many more people
the next video is going to be even
better so please subscribe thank you so
much back to the video the rock
eventually changes i can't believe i'm
making this video but here is a
confession when i was a kid i loved
eating meat and all my friends did too
because meat was our favorite dish and
vegetarians
i hate it because life is too short not
to enjoy meat
until one day something crazy happened i
found a girl online and i liked her i
took her on a date and all of a sudden
she says
i'm vegetarian i thought to myself crap
i like this girl but eating out with her
is going to be difficult
day after day after day we would go on
dates and she would order avocado and i
would order steak and she would whisper
vegetarian
i disagree she ate her own and i ate
mine
but her small influence on my food was
like water hitting my rock and after
hundreds of meals and hundreds of waves
my rock started changing and one day i
woke up and realized that i no longer
eat meat i was shocked i don't know why
i stopped because i love steak but when
all my friends aline and my best friend
aegon ordered vegetables day after day
after day i gave in and changed my diet
[Music]
you might think this video is about food
but it's really not it's bigger than
that this video is about the people
around you because they change and shape
you in ways that you cannot control if
your group of friends drink alcohol you
will eventually drink alcohol if your
closest friends are athletic you will
become athletic if your closest friends
want to succeed in life you will succeed
in life even if you're a rock and your
friends are water sooner or later they
will change you for better or for worse
it actually goes both ways i learned a
lot from spending time with nuts i'm a
lot more ambitious now and i use my time
much more efficiently i use every day to
do something to work towards my goals
i stopped eating meat because of my
friends but the bigger picture here is
that you should be careful who your
closest friends are because sooner or
later you will become
them
see you next week
this video is a true story
for tens of years humans have been
trying to run a mile in under four
minutes so many runners tried to break
that record and none of them could
everyone thought it was impossible
until one day in 1954
one guy with no proper training ran so
fast that he finished a mile in three
minutes and 59 seconds
one second shorter than four minutes he
became the first person in the world to
do so yes
now you may find that interesting but
what happened after was way more
interesting immediately after people
realized that running a four minute mile
is not that impossible so they ran
faster and faster and faster and in no
time thousands of people could run a
mile in under four minutes in fact some
could run it in 3 minutes and 43 seconds
17 seconds shorter than what used to be
impossible
now you may think this video is about
sports but it's really not this is about
role models because they are more
important than we think see the minute
someone breaks the impossible our mental
block is gone and we tell ourselves if
they can
then we can it's no longer impossible
and this isn't just sports i saw this
everywhere around the world
when isaiah in compton los angeles hi
i'm isaiah and i'm a 17 year old pilot
became the youngest african-american
pilot to fly around the united states he
made the kids in his neighborhood
believe that they too can fly and become
pilots for them skies became the limits
literally
even here at nas daily with these videos
succeeded on facebook many people
realize that they too can make videos
and now they have millions of followers
after learning about the four minute
mile i fully understood how important
role models are bad role models can ruin
us and set a bad example good role
models can change our lives that's why
it's important to have a successful
black president it's important to have a
woman astronaut because for every win
thousands more are created
[Music]
oh my god i finally understand it
work expands to the time
allowed for it work expands to the time
allowed for it
this idea changed my life and i think
it can change
yours
let's say you want to write a letter and
the deadline is 10 pm you get a shower
you spend one hour looking for the
perfect paper another hour looking for
the perfect pen another hour thinking of
the perfect words and another writing
them
by 10 pm your letter is done
but if you only had 10 minutes to write
the letter you'll skip the shower you'll
find a piece of paper find a pen write
it down and you're good to go
it's the same letter
one took ten hours to make another took
ten minutes to make and this is work
that expands to the time allowed for it
it's called parkinson's law and it's a
real thing it's not procrastination it's
not laziness it's unnecessary work that
we do
simply because we have
time this isn't just you and me this is
entire companies if the deadline is next
month we work every day we add many
people to the project for one month to
finish it but if the deadline is next
week magically we can finish the project
in one week i saw this happen at my
company when something is not urgent we
take our time
we have uh lark to be the emergency
emergency project today get ready
everybody we put 10 people to work on
one project and in one month we do
something we could have done in one week
this is how big companies die
work expands to the time allowed for it
this is a big idea if you give yourself
less time to do something
you will do good work
no hours spent finding the perfect pen
no hours wasted in meetings no
unnecessary work
so instead of finishing something next
year next month or next week remember
parkinson's law
most likely we can finish it
tomorrow
that's more than a minute
see you
tomorrow
[Music]
