- I don't want you to just watch and learn from me
and not take any action.
- Who is Dan Lok?
- Dan Lok.

(dark orchestral music)
- Hello my name is Aliona
- Hi Aliona
- Hi everyone, hi Sifu.
So my question is when you were talking about
all this metaphor,
the a-ha moment what I had
very deep is how can we get rid of pennies in the world
and make sure that they are not made anymore?
- You can't.
- I'll think how I can do it.
- How you would get rid of them in your life
so they don't come in your life anymore?
- Knowing that they will come,
the minute you think they won't come?
That's when you lose the battle.
It's knowing that they're always there.
And knowing that someone is stacking pennies
in front of you all the time.
Then it's our job,
example: with an intense experience like CIB?
We move stacks of pennies.
(clicks tongue)
like that.
HTC,
stacks of pennies.
You can think every week is like one penny, right?
Everything that helps you stay plugged in,
hold yourself accountable, seeing other role models
beliefs, relearning, it's constantly.
I came back from the castle, right
just came back from the castle seminar.
In a few months, December, I'm going back
to the castle again, why?
I need to?
- [Aliona] Remove stacks of pennies.
- Sifu has pennies too.
Because there are certain things in front of me
that I don't see.
Sometimes it could be a story.
sometimes it could be a quote.
Sometimes it could be a speech.
Sometimes it could be a lesson.
Only when you know and you could
remove pennies for yourself, then yes,
maybe you could help others.
Only if they deserve it.
Round of applause
(round of applause)
- [Aliona] Thank you.
- Sifu doesn't save people,
I don't save people.
I only help people who swim towards me.
And they better be swimming pretty fucking fast.
Because I don't wait,
life is too short.
Life is too short.
There are enough people on the planet
who want, need, get it, who deserve my help?
I can spend my lifetime helping those.
I don't give a shit about people who don't give a shit.
I don't give a shit about people
who don't give a shit about themselves,
who don't give a shit about me,
who don't give a shit about us.
Life is too short.
Why spend my time, my life convincing these people?
I don't need anything from them.
They don't want my help, they don't want my help.
And not saying, "Oh yeah, I need your help."
It's not that.
Actions.
Because desperate people, write it down
Desperate people do desperate things.
Hurt people hurt people.
Hurt
people
hurt
people.
Life is too short.
The great thing about planet is
there are a lot of people.
Stop spending time
giving a shit
to people who don't give a shit.
If you care about their dreams more than
they care about their dreams something is wrong.
Something is fundamentally wrong.
And you know what?
These people, they don't appreciate it anyways.
It's a waste of fucking time.
You get pissed off because
you are not happy you can't help them.
They get pissed off because you are trying to help them
and they don't want any help.
They like things the way things are.
That's them, that's their life to live,
not my life.
It's very black and white for me.
