Life Advice for the Next Generation— Fireside Chat Ep. 331 | Fireside Chat

hi everybody Dennis Prager with the fireside chat thought the fireside chat takes place once a week so I I'm sure I've share this with you but I don't expect you to remember everything I've said it would be a little silly but I have this theory about life that life goes by by the week not by the day not by the month or year the fastest unit of time to me is the week and and one proof is how rapidly the fireside chat comes up isn't that something it it doesn't it feel like didn't we just do a fire side chat anyway just a thought random thought as they say random has become a popular word among the young welcome so I'm going to do something very different I don't think you unique but close to Unique I will simply take your questions CU there are so many that I don't get to and they all raise or nearly all raise some big issues so it's as if I had opened up with some opening comments which I do 99% of the time so let's begin with the video question right okay take it away hello there Dennis my name is Josh from Nicholasville Kentucky I'm uh reaching out to you today because I'm a huge fan I love what you're doing um anyway my nephew has a birthday coming up he's also a huge fan of yours uh we watch uh your show frequently I've been writing down words of wisdom and and uh just anything that I think is important in this journal here uh by the way with this Fountain pin good man and uh I want to pass it along to him on his birthday and like I said I've just been putting you know tidbits of wisdom and things that I think might help him along in his life as as a young man and my question is do you have any words of wisdom that that you think most young people need to hear today um and also could you just wish Ben a happy birthday thanks for all you do love you and appreciate you God bless a brief comment on on the last thing and then a longer comment on earlier things that you said my wife has pointed out for some years now how touched she is when men say that they love me and I get that a lot and I am touched by it as well it's not common for men to say to to another man unless perhaps it's you know a father or or you know a brother or something but it's or or certainly a son but certainly not for a non-relative or non very very very close friend I'm I'm moved by that fact and it makes sense to me I hope that doesn't sound arrogant but if it does I live with it I I I I prefer honesty to sounding right uh uh Warren is I've ear I've earned your love to be honest I do believe that but it it still is interesting to me what prompts that statement in a man I don't I don't know exactly I what touches a man to say to someone they never personally met I love you it's it's interesting isn't it by the way I'm not so sure that when women say that to me it's all that different now that I think of it they they don't know me either and you know we're not we're not talking romantically it's an interesting question what prompts people to love a public figure so if let's say you you love uh a a a very popular musician singer let's say that's different though they they're loved for their art their performance so anyway this is something I do think about and I just want you to know that it it touches me and here's a corollary that's also interesting a reminder at this time as I do every week that the rest of the fireside chat and there's some really great questions coming up is at prageru.com we don't trust big Tech to allow us to have our content on for the indefinite future it's very sad that I say that but it is true so we are trying to have people start by watching for example the fireside chat at prageru.com so please do that but at any event go there now if you would and download the prageru app to have the easiest way to access our content See you at prageru.com
