Salutations.
It is now 6:33 AM EST for me.
Before I begin, I want to inform you of an item I purchased, in case you are following that. As always, not obligating for you to buy anything. This is the item I purchased for myself from Amazon.com:
adidas Alliance II Sackpack, Multicolor, One Size
—
It’s only about $17 dollars each, and Prime shipping is available. There are 22 colors to choose from, but I chose Multicolor. To me, it looks grey. I purchased 3 of them, 2 to use during the week, and 1 extra just in case. Even though it still is smaller than a normal? sized backpack, it’s the biggest bag that I actively use. I purchased it in order to put my drinks in. Recently, I am considering putting a pair of pants in it in case it rains heavily where I live as I’m going to work. I was thinking of buying some sort of waterproof/water resistant pants as I go to work, and then changing those pants when I am at work. Sometimes it can rain very heavily where I am at. According to Amazon.com, as of now, there are 23,973 total ratings, 2,519 with reviews. Here is a quote from one of those reviews:
I spilled orange juice all over my previous backpack last November, it was indeed old and I was due for a replacement. I needed a smaller backpack that could fit a couple 2 Inch binders, a Chromebook, an iPad Pro, pencils, pens and 3 notebooks. I also wanted to have a cup holder.
Now, I originally didn’t want a drawstring bag until I found this one, it was on sale for $10 or so, plus it was made by a familiar brand that i trust to make quality products, and somehow they managed to squeeze 2 cup holders on the bag!
Trust me, this bag is well made. The strings are not strings, they are basically ropes for how thick they are. The zipper on the front is big enough to where it won’t be snapping off anytime soon. And somehow it managed to fit all of the items I listed above.
Great bag!

I’m going to look for that music video and trailer now. Soon after I prepare them later today, I’ll type it in. So, if you are there, I’ll see you then.
—
It is now 8:38 AM EST for me.
The music video that I watched for the 1st time earlier today and recommend for this advice is called ‘SHOOTING STAR’ by XG. I found it by using one of the publishers from my ‘Watch later’ list on my signed-in youtube homepage. The publisher is ‘InMusic Official’. Search and select it on www.youtube.com, then select ‘VIDEOS’, then select ‘New Songs Of The Week (January 27th, 2023) | New Music Friday’. It has 1.5 thousand views and was published 15 hours ago. A video clip of ‘SHOOTING STAR’ starts about 1 minute and 43 seconds into that video collection. Here’s a quote from wikipedia.org about ‘XG’:
‘ XG (/ɛks-dʒiː/; acronym for Xtraordinary Girls) is a Japanese girl group based in South Korea.[2] The group was formed by Xgalx, a label of Avex, and is composed of seven members: Jurin, Chisa, Hinata, Juria, Cocona, Maya and Harvey. ‘
—
And here is a quote from a review from link www.kpopwise.com found by searching in www.google.com for phrase ‘xg shooting star music video reviews’:
‘ The music video shows the members as cool interplanetary girls who bring unique musicality. Cutting-edge production, a fantastic vibe, and unlimited creativity are the elements that make this MV resume and reinforce XG’s power and uniqueness. ‘
—
Here is a quote from the lyrics to song ‘SHOOTING STAR’:
Baby if I give it my all will it pay off
Working overtime no days off
All these shooting stars in the dark
All these shooting stars in the dark
Make a wish
—
To watch music video ‘SHOOTING STAR’, search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘xg shooting star music video’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with 4.4 million views. It was published 3 days ago by publisher ‘XG’.
In my opinion, the music video has a lot of visual scene changes and synchronized dancing, it gives focused attention to individual members, and it allows you to ‘keep thinking’. In my opinion, you can’t give attention to all of the singers simultaneously as you watch it for the 1st time, encouraging you to watch the music video several times to give attention to more of the singers. I only watched it once and I have no intentions of watching it again(that’s just how I do it, no offense), but I still recommend it for this advice. In my opinion, it’s visually entertaining to watch. Of course, I may change my mind and watch it again later. I just don’t see a reason to watch it again right now.
—
The movie trailer that I watched for the 1st time earlier today and recommend for this advice is called ‘DOG GONE’. I found it from one of the lists in my youtube signed-in homepage. Just select publisher ‘Movie Coverage’ from www.youtube.com, select ‘PLAYLISTS’, and from category ‘Created playlists’, select ‘View full playlist’ from selection ‘The Best DRAMA movies’. DOG GONE is #28 from that list. Here is a quote from publisher Netflix about the movie:
‘ A young man and his father begin a desperate search to find their beloved dog Gonker on the Appalachian Trail before it’s too late. Based on an incredible true story, Dog Gone is the adventure movie of the new year – only on Netflix January 13. ‘
—
The movie trailer from Netflix was published Dec 13 2022, with over 516 thousand views. The movie stars Rob Lowe as John Marshall.
I didn’t watch the movie, but I like the movie trailer because it’s easy to watch. 2 adults looking for a dog, and the movie looks well made. Various types of people, various types of personalities, willingly helping the 2 find their dog. Plus, celebrity Rob Lowe is one of the main characters. With all of the ‘crazy'(no inappropriate references intended) movies he was in, it’s a refreshing change of pace to see him in this light.

It is now 10:00 AM EST for me.
So, here’s the study plan: This idea I estimate will take 3 lists to explain, 3 Saturdays. It’s going to be a little bothersome for me to explain it, since I’ll probably make more ideas while I explain this one, and I won’t be able to type those new ideas in. In this list, I’ll try to ‘sell’ the idea to you, then you decide whether or not you still want to learn it. I’ll introduce to you the basic idea, and several stories meant to give you more depth to help you learn it. The 2nd list by intent is to give you more strength to use it, and the 3rd list focuses on adding more strategy so that you can use the idea. I’ll now begin the 1st part of this idea. In case you are new, or for a refresher, I never typed this new idea in before. It’s all in my head, and I invented it within the past week. Of course, it uses elements of past ideas, but that’s a given to me.
—
Know:
I’m going to gather the 4 illustration references now. That should take me maybe 10 minutes or so. I’ll continue typing soon.
—
It is now 10:29 AM EST for me. I found all 4 illustration references using Amazon.com. They’re all available streaming from Amazon.com. I just have 1 tab for the Amazon.com video, but I opened 4 imdb.com tabs, one for each reference.
Here’s the definition of ‘know’ that I’m using from www.dictionary.com:
to be cognizant or aware, as of some fact, circumstance, or occurrence; have information, as about something.
—
The idea called ‘Know’ is to help you manage better how you give credence to your sense of knowing as it relates to mild to moderate experiences with instigation and it’s inadvertencies. Of course, it is my belief that people in general manage their sense(s) of knowing, but when knowing is experienced as it relates to experienced instigation, if you actually had a preferred ability to manage your sense of knowing, let’s say that one example says that you wouldn’t have major troubles experiencing instigation. For most mild forms of instigation, experiencing instigation shouldn’t cause you too much distress, since your ability to manage your sense of knowing is preferred. The purpose of idea ‘Know’ is to improve your ability to manage your sense of knowing as it relates to mild to moderate forms of instigation. If that is something that you may find useful, then maybe you’ll choose to continue to read this idea.
I’ve collected 4 illustration references for idea ‘Know’. I’ll type all 4 in 1st, and then explain them. I think that might be easier for me to do. The 1st illustration reference is in a scene from the movie ‘Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens(2015)’, a conversation between Maz Kanata(Lupita Nyong’o) and Finn(John Boyega). The reference is edited and used in relation to advice. According to Amazon Video, that scene starts 1 hour, 1 minute, and 8 seconds into the movie. Here is the quote:
Maz Kanata: ‘If you live long enough… you see the same eyes in different people. I’m looking at the eyes of a man who wants to run.’
Finn: ‘You don’t know a thing about me. Where I’m from. What I’ve seen. You don’t know the First Order like I do. (edited) We all need to run.’
—
The 2nd illustration reference is in the movie ‘Freejack(1992)’ starring Mick Jagger as Victor Vacendak, and Esai Morales as Ripper. The illustration is a conversation between Vacendak and Ripper. You may watch more of the references for all 4 illustration references, in relation to advice with inapproprieieties removed, if you choose to. According to Amazon Video, that scene starts 22 minutes and 23 seconds into the movie. Here is a quote:
Ripper: ‘ …And frankly, I’m surprised you would even test me.’
Vacendak: ‘I’m not testing you, Ripper. I’m testing the machine. And it works.’
—
In this 3rd illustration reference, keep in mind that it has been edited with inapproprieities removed in relation to advice. That means that I’m going to give it a different circumstance for it to exist in when I explain it later in this list, but for now I’ll give you the basic quote. The scene is in the movie ‘Casino Royale(2006)’ starring Daniel Craig as James Bond, and Eva Green as Vesper Lynd. The scene according to Amazon Video starts about 1 hour and 17 minutes into the movie. Here is the quote:
Bond: ‘You want to do what to me?’
Vesper Lynd: ‘You’ve lost me completely.’
(As they are walking away, two men are watching them, reacting to what Bond said.)
—
The 4th illustration reference is in episode 3.11 ‘Poughkeepsie, Tramps and Thieves’ from crime mystery tv series ‘Veronica Mars(2007)’. It’s when Keith Mars(Enrico Colantoni) is talking to college students Claire Nordhouse(Krista Kalmus), Fern Delgado(Cher Ferreyra), and Nish Sweeney(Chastity Dotson). Again, you may watch more of the episode if you choose to. The quote starts, according to Amazon Video, the scene starts 22 minutes and 41 seconds into the episode. Here is the quote:
Keith Mars: ‘Don’t look at each other and don’t you dare lie. Where’d she go? Would you rather talk at the station, with your lawyer?’
Nish Sweeney: ‘What, are you kidding? Mr. Mars? Is this some kind of a joke?’
Nish:(talking to the 2 college students) ‘He’s not a cop. He used to be. He’s a private eye. Do you two ever watch the news?’
23 minutes and 8 seconds:
Nish: ‘First of all, I don’t have to say anything. And second of all, I’m pretty sure what you’re doing is illegal.’
—
It is now 11:35 AM EST for me.
I’ll explain them in the order that I typed them in.
When Finn said quote:
Finn: ‘You don’t know a thing about me.’
—
Finn was choosing to dismiss all of that sense of knowing Maz Kanata said.
—
When Ripper said:
Ripper: ‘ …And frankly, I’m surprised you would even test me.’
—
Ripper was expressing a disappointment when his boss caused him to take a test. His boss clarified the sense of knowing actually used:
Vacendak: ‘I’m not testing you, Ripper. I’m testing the machine.
—
And here’s the refurbished circumstance based on what Bond said to Vesper Lynd:
Bond: ‘You want to do what to me?’
—
Let’s say that there’s this school gathering, where students and faculty are attending. Bond also said that to Lynd:
Bond: ‘You want to do what to me?’
—
One of the students, a girl, looked to see if everyone was OK, and then continued to talk to her schoolmates. The teenage students took it upon themselves to turn what Bond said into a joke, and several of the teachers voted for one of the teachers to talk to Bond about what he said. Bond later apologized to that teacher, saying that he will be more considerate in the future.
It’s a mix with what happened in the movie, and the story I made up. In the movie, Bond said in so many words that what he said was a lie, and that lie caused 2 men to look at them walk away, leaving the room. So, to Bond and Vesper Lynd, that sense of knowing that Bond verbally said was a lie, but to those who heard him say it, it caused them to stop what they were doing, and to look at what they are doing, 2 different forms of knowing, and one of those forms of knowing is a lie.
—
Now, when Keith said to Claire and Fern quote:
Keith Mars: ‘Don’t look at each other and don’t you dare lie. Where’d she go? Would you rather talk at the station, with your lawyer?’
—
Later, Claire and Fern will dismiss what Keith caused them to do, interact with Keith in a serious manner. Once it sinks in more, Claire and Fern will dismiss the seriousness they used when talking to Keith Mars:
Keith Mars: ‘Don’t look at each other and don’t you dare lie. Where’d she go? Would you rather talk at the station, with your lawyer?’
—
It is now 12:15 PM EST for me.
So, to review, ‘You don’t know a thing about me.’ , ‘I’m not testing you, I’m testing the machine.’, ‘You want to do what to me?(ambiguous)’, and the 2 college women dismissing the seriousness they used when talking to Keith Mars, believing at the time that he was an actual police officer.
—
I’m going to type in 4 stories for depth to use idea ‘Know’. They’re made to be in that order.
—
It is now 12:56 PM EST for me.
I had to start the Apple TV+ subscription again in order to give you the reference for the 1st story. The scene is in episode 1.2 ‘Preparing to Live(2021)’ from sci-fi tv series ‘Foundation’. According to Apple TV+, it is the speech that Hari Seldon(Jared Harris) made to those that work in the laundry room. The speech that I’m quoting starts 42 minutes and 7 seconds into that episode. Here is the quote:
Hari Seldon: ‘It’s going to be a long journey… We face challenges. Many more will follow, but I am confident in the success of our endeavor and the principal reason for that is you, all of you. I approved the passenger manifest, each and every name on it… ‘
—
That’s the scene that I used to make the 1st story. The idea for this 1st story is that people learn to manage their job related liabilities, and when they expose you to certain liabilities, you lack their experience to interact with such liabilities. I imagined a workforce based on a situation that is like managing how hotel rooms are maintained. The employees who maintain such situations, they talk amongst themselves about the liabilities involved with their jobs. I imagined that they even negotiate amongst themselves as to how such unavoidable liabilities would be handled. For example, certain duties, even though such duties are assigned to employees specifically, they can still assign amongst themselves the working of such duties. I even imagined a card game where many employees use such liabilities as currency. They are entertaining the assigning of certain liabilities amongst themselves. As they are playing that card game, if you choose to, you can imagine the song “La Isla Bonita” by Madonna being played. Here’s a quote from the lyrics:
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby
—
I don’t think that I watched that music video.
Also, if you need to take a few days off, or you want to avoid working a certain task, you can always make deals with other employees, exchanging certain duties to make that work. The point is that they are talking amongst each other about their job related liabilities, and they all have experience managing the interaction with such liabilities.
—
The 2nd story uses a younger version of celebrity Adrian Pasdar. Here’s the story: There’s a man who’s about to retire and go to Italy. He purchased a house there years ago, visited the place several times, and he’s preparing to live there by learning to speak Italian. What he’s doing at work is talking to all of the workers in Italian. Even though almost all of them don’t speak Italian, they try to accomodate him, since they’ve known him for years, and they know he’s getting ready to retire. I imagine that man talking to someone in Italian, and that other worker is actually able to respond to a few of his words, plus they all know what their jobs are, and can ‘fill in the blanks’ most of the time.
That’s the job situation that new employee Adrian Pasdar entered.(Let’s use his real name in the story.) As Mr. Pasdar is trying to talk to that man, that man is only speaking Italian to him. Adrian Pasdar initially tried to say to him in English that he doesn’t speak Italian. Pasdar talked to a few of the employees, and they did explain to him that he’s getting ready to retire and move to Italy, but the answer that Pasdar was looking for was to enable that man to speak English so that he can communicate with him. After making that effort, Pasdar ‘went over his head’, so to speak, and talked to his boss about the problem. Later, you may imagine Adrian having a meeting with that man, and that man said sadly to him ‘You should have talked to me about it.’ That’s when Adrian Pasdar regretting talking to his boss about the matter, and that he(Adrian Pasdar) should have made more of an effort talking to the other employees about that man’s locked in Italian speaking situation. The lesson is to consider making more of an effort to talk to the other employees. Take them out to dinner and talk to them. Why not? Isn’t that what restaurants are for, business lunches and dinners? Otherwise, if you talk to your boss about the manner, you might experience something about that other employee that may cause you to experience regret. Well, anyway, it’s just a story for you to think about.
—
The 3rd story uses celebrity Tom Cruise and the likeness of the character Rexor(Ben Davidson) from the movie ‘Conan the Barbarian(1982)’. You can just search for phrase ‘conan the barbarian rexor’ in www.google.com, and select ‘Images’, and you’ll see Rexor.
So, here’s the story: Employee Tom Cruise is looking at this computer generated schematic projected on some sort of plastic like material, like a bendable screen. As he is studying it, he notices a small area that has a different color, indicating that such a task has to be resolved in order for the project to be successfully processed. He wonders if his division team could just dismiss it, since it’s easy to resolve otherwise. Another employee with the likeness of Rexor informs Tom Cruise that they can’t just remove it. That is why that particular part of that project is highlighted with another color.
The story is meant to emphasize how I imagined how simplified projects are presented in order for a fast, concise resolution to occur. One example as to how that looks, let’s say the colors used are basically computer generated blue, but that color is meant to be distinguished from the blue, let’s say red. Colors can be changed, but it’s the distinction that is important. You can’t just remove the red, so to speak, and then say ‘It’s finished.’ That’s why that indication light is shown. It has to be resolved, or it’s not considered processed acceptably.
—
It is now 1:56 PM EST for me.
Essentially, it’s the 4th story. The 4th story, in my opinion, is everything. It’s the reason why I’m still typing. I don’t want to believe that I can just close this list now, and it’s done. I have to type it in in order to finish it with some degree of satisfaction. I didn’t think I’d ever type past 2:00 PM again, and yet here I am about to do just that.
All right. Here’s the beginning setting: About 10 years ago, a company division created an acceptable solution for something, but it involves some difficulty to achieve. They presented their results to management, and it was approved.
10 years later, a new employee that looks like a younger Adrian Pasdar is given a project assignment, and even though it promises a defined acceptable difficulty rating, as he looks at the details, there is a lot more work involved that clearly contradicts it’s assigned difficulty rating. He could process those project assignments within his means, but that means that he has to interact with those difficulties, difficulties that are not supposed to be in his assignments.
The solution is that, if he interacts with the employess that are partially involved with those projects, it can only get better. I believe that, for certain details, Adrian Pasdar can even remove certain difficulties with the solutions created by other employees.
And so, when I invented that description, I used a scene in episode 1.3 ‘Adar’ from adventure series ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power(2022)’, streaming available from Amazon.com. The scene starts about 5 minutes and 45 seconds into that episode. Here’s a quick plot quote from wikipedia.org:
‘ Galadriel and Halbrand are picked up by a ship captained by Elendil who takes them to Númenor, an island kingdom ruled by Men. ‘
—
I imagined Elendil and his crewmen as one of those division groups in that ‘Adrian Pasdar’ story. When one of the company employees needed help, Captain Elendil(Lloyd Owen) would metaphorically bring them aboard and help them with their job related issues. Of course, being helped by Captain Elendil is one thing, being one of his crewmen is another. Their stories, how they became crewmen to Captain Elendil, is what is recommended to be used. Just imagine one of those men being brought about Captain Elendil’s metaphorical ship. Even though the new one’s all believe in some sort of self reliance, the one’s that become crewmen learn to upgrade their sense of humility, humbleness, areas in relation to advice that you want to improve. So, when you think about that scene, I also recommend you imagine listening to the theme song music of ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’, the one that they show near the beginning of each episode. So, basically, all of this is to help you use the theme song of ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ when using strategy ideas. In the beginning, you may imagine yourself being Captain Elendil, bringing others aboard who need help, but it’s my experience that the original Captain Elendil will last longer because he’s in the episode, and he does a lot in the show to establish his presence. To help ‘Captain Elendil and his crewmen’ scene work, you may also use that scene from the movie ‘The Batman(2022)’, when Batman is offering his hand to help those stuck in some sort of water ditch. The movie is available streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts 2 hours, 37 minutes, and 30 seconds into the movie. He is holding a torch while offering his free hand to the others. It takes them a little while, but they eventually accept and use his help.
—
It is now 2:29 PM EST for me. I am closing this list now. Next Saturday, I plan to give you the ‘Strength’ ideas for idea ‘Know’, unless I change my mind again. So, if you are there next Saturday, I’ll see you then.
