Quotable Quotes
9.01 - 9.10: “Confidence does not only come from outside; it’s internal knowingness that who you choose to be is the valid way.” (Jacky)
11.25 - 11.27: “Life... opens up to people who are confident.” (Leaha)
13.04 - 13.10: “Sometimes, getting your nose bloodied in life or in business can be a very very valuable asset if you look at it from what you’ve learned.” (Greg)
17.41 - 17.52: “If I can be myself and help other people be themselves, the world will have... very few problems. Why we have problems today is because we’re not ourselves so we’re always trying to be other people.” (Jacky)
27.09 - 27.14: “If you’re not compassionate towards yourself, what makes one think we can be compassionate with others? We don’t know how to.” (Jacky)
39.19 - 39.27: “To be free from our mind is one of the... critical parts in our life that’s why they call it overthinking, they don’t say over-feeling.” (Jacky)
58.24 - 58.30: “Society has evolved technology-wise, but personal life-wise, not as much.”
Takeaways
The Charismatic Movement (6.45)
Jacky laments that “in society, we’re very caught up in what we can see rather than the things we cannot see”. You need not be the most talkative person to exude palpable energy. For him, being charismatic means knowing oneself and owning oneself, and radiating energy from the centeredness of the self.
