01:24
things get rough all right good it doesn't mean  pretending everything's perfect that's not what  
10
84280
10760
01:35
it means it doesn't mean pretending everything's  perfect instead it's about looking for
11
95040
8640
01:43
Solutions rather than getting stuck on the
12
103680
7800
01:51
problems rather than getting stuck on the  problems it's about looking for Solutions  
13

everything's perfect instead it's a about looking  for Solutions rather than getting stuck on the
17
146720
8320
02:35
problems for example if you're running late to  an important [Music] meeting you're running late  
18
155040
12080
02:47
if you are slow if you are late running  late I'm trying to explain running late  
19
167120
8440
02:55
you probably already know what that means it  just means you are late if you're running late  
20
175560
5480
03:01
to an important meeting because of traffic  because of because of because of because of
21
181040
6760
03:07
traffic instead of thinking my whole day is  ruined instead of thinking my whole day is  
22
187800
11040
03:18
ruined don't don't do that this sentence  continues you notice there's no period so  
23
