Last week I gave a talk at college, presenting my master thesis. I had not given a presentation for... 2 years?! I practiced giving the talk 3 times, made some slides and went for it.

I noticed that I had taken on various Tylerisms and Jeffy behaviour for my presentation which comes from watching the videos all the time, I guess.

After the presentation I received 3 rounds of applause by the students and one girl said "That was the best presentation I have seen so far at college". An older man approached me after the talk to congratulate me and suggested to work further on the topic for a doctoral thesis. My professor high fived me and stressed what a successful talk I had given.

Props man! I actually love public speaking. It's terrifying but awesome at the same time.

Well done! All of the speakers at RSD are great but I like Jeffy the most b/c of his unique brand of humor and delivery.

I think it's actually good to model yourself after successful people when you're starting something new. A lot of people say BE YOURSELF! And that's all fine and dandy, but it can definitely be very beneficial to propel yourself in the right direction from modeling people who know what the fuck they're doing!

Owen Cook: "Everyone told me I couldn't master the game, they said I couldn't build RSD, they said I couldn't do all sorts of shit. Those were their limitations, not mine. I don't have limitations because I choose to focus on what's possible, not on what supposedly can't be done...Ultimately to be the best you have to be hungrier, more focused, willing to die for the shit. I'm willing to go to that length because I'm disgusted by the experience I had in my first two decades of life and can't stand other people not having a rope to pull themselves up. I've been given more blessings than I ever asked for or deserved and have no reservations to go to any length to cultivate and offer the gifts I feel forming within myself on a daily basis in return for that."
