0:00 Work, you go to school

And this is the best DJ lesson ever, part two. Right, in part one I discussed about the real world. In part two I'm going to do exactly the same. So, you get up in the morning, you go on Facebook or you surf the web or you put the news on. You have your breakfast, you go to work, you go to school or you just sit there in front of the telly. Let's go back a little bit. You get up, you check out some form of information.

Let's say the news for example. Hmm, the news. Let me ask you a question. What is news? News is information. It's information. Information.

Information is... Just as it is information, it's items that you look at or people tell you, you take that in and they're passing on information to you. So, why is it that the news, most of it, is bad news?

Think about it. Again, have an open mind. Why is it all bad?

Surely there are good things going on around the world. There has to be. But why is it? Why is most of the news bad? There's a car crash here. Planes just dropped out of the sky.

1:45 It's because by giving you bad news, you feel down

It's because by giving you bad news, you feel down. You feel low. You feel depressed. You feel anxious. You feel as though you need help. And then all of a sudden, governments come along and say they can help you. They don't literally say that. They can help you. Very clever. They do it in a very cunning and sly way. But, you know... You get a cough. You get a cold. You go to the doctor. The doctor prescribes you some sort of tablet or pill.

No.

Let's go back quite a few years. All right? Mortality rate. Yeah, things change. But you didn't have a pill then. Rubbed a herb on you. Well, yeah, brewed some sort of, I don't know, went outside. You got a couple of plants. You stuck them in a teapot, drank it and hopefully you got better. No, I'm a firm believer in everything in this planet is here for a reason. On this planet, it's here for a reason. And any sort of ailment you can get can be pretty much cured by what we've got here.

3:07 The doctor gives you some pills

Let's go back to the doctor thing. The doctor gives you some pills. Now, mostly Western medicine is there for one thing and one thing only. To cure the symptoms. To get rid of the problem that you're getting from the serious problem that you've got. So, for example, I said this before. I'm asthmatic. They're not curing my asthma. What they're doing... Is they are relieving it continually. So I'm never going to be... Well, if I continue going to the same doctors, they're never going to say here is something that will take the asthma away. We're just going to give you something that will relieve the asthma. So why are they doing this? Why don't they cure me?

It's because they don't make any money then, do they? What's the point in making you better completely? And then you're walking away from that doctor's surgery or the hospital.

And they're not going back. Because you're not going to be having any tablets rattling inside of you. Which means that someone down the line isn't going to be making any money out of you. That's not very good, is it? That's not a good business sense. Good business is based around keeping your clients. Keeping the group of clients you have. So, take that. You're not on board. You work, you're self-employed. You have your clients. You want to keep them. You want to keep those clients close to you, don't you? Because you make money off them. Let's look at the bigger and the broader picture.

From a country's perspective, you don't want to get rid of your clients, two-thirds or three-thirds of the country. You want to keep them. Because the less you've got, the less money you're going to make. Wake up, world. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
