01:00:59,375 right to it because it's 33 01:00:59,375 --> 01:00:59,875 so true. 34 01:01:00,875 --> 01:01:01,791 Quote, "The older you 35 01:01:01,791 --> 01:01:03,291 get, the better you get. 36 01:01:03,833 --> 01:01:04,708 Unless you're a banana." 37 01:01:06,125 --> 01:01:07,625 No truer words were ever said. 38 01:01:08,125 --> 01:01:09,625 That was from Betty White's character, 39 01:01:09,791 --> 01:01:11,750 Rose Nylund, on The Golden Girls. 40 01:01:12,833 --> 01:01:14,833 Alright, moving on to today's teaser 41 01:01:14,833 --> 01:01:15,958 quote for the book review. 42 01:01:16,625 --> 01:01:19,416 That is, "You can make more friends in 43 01:01:19,416 --> 01:01:20,791 two months by becoming 44 01:01:20,791 --> 01:01:22,458 genuinely interested in 45 01:01:22,458 --> 01:01:25,041 other people than you can in two years by 46 01:01:25,041 --> 01:01:25,708 trying to get other 47 01:01:25,708 --> 01:01:26,916 people interested in you." 48 01:01:28,041 --> 01:01:29,750 Okay, as you know, we'll go ahead and 49 01:01:29,750 --> 01:01:30,833 unpack that here in just 50 01:01:30,833 --> 01:01:31,708 a minute during the book 51 01:01:31,708 --> 01:01:32,375 review segment. 52 01:01:32,916 --> 01:01:34,500 But first, let's go ahead and jump into 53 01:01:34,500 --> 01:01:35,833 our usual dose of fun 54 01:01:35,833 --> 01:01:36,916 and historic facts from 55 01:01:36,958 --> 01:01:37,666 this day in history. 56 01:01:38,250 --> 01:01:41,625 Today's news facts are for January 13th. 57 01:01:41,625 --> 01:01:44,750 In 1888, the National Geographic Society 58 01:01:44,750 --> 01:01:45,666 is founded in 59 01:01:45,666 --> 01:01:47,875 Washington, D.C. and they founded 60 01:01:47,875 --> 01:01:50,416 it for the increase in diffusion of 61 01:01:50,416 --> 01:01:51,583 geographic knowledge. 62 01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:53,625 I don't know that my geography skills are 63 01:01:53,625 --> 01:01:55,250 better because of that, but I know I love 64 01:01:55,250 --> 01:01:56,583 looking through National Geographic 65 01:01:56,583 --> 01:01:57,750 magazines when I was younger. 66 01:01:58,250 --> 01:02:01,875 Okay, moving into 1943, Adolf Hitler 67 01:02:01,875 --> 01:02:04,583 declared total war against the Allies. 68 01:02:05,416 --> 01:02:07,166 This was essentially Hitler's way and his 69 01:02:07,166 --> 01:02:10,125 effort to turn the tide by mobilizing all 70 01:02:10,125 --> 01:02:11,791 of Germany's available resources, 71 01:02:12,250 --> 01:02:13,000 including civilian 72 01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:15,125 manpower and industry, and he used 73 01:02:15,125 --> 01:02:16,208 it all to fight the war 74 01:02:16,208 --> 01:02:17,750 on an unrestricted means. 75 01:02:18,166 --> 01:02:20,500 That means there was war with no limit to 76 01:02:20,500 --> 01:02:21,291 do whatever it took 77 01:02:21,291 --> 01:02:22,500 to achieve victory, no 78 01:02:22,500 --> 01:02:23,416 matter what the cost. 79 01:02:24,500 --> 01:02:28,291 Okay, in 1986, on a latter note, the NCAA 80 01:02:28,291 --> 01:02:30,833 adopted the controversial Prop 48. 81 01:02:31,583 --> 01:02:33,458 This required all incoming student 82 01:02:33,458 --> 01:02:34,666 athletes to have minimum 83 01:02:34,666 --> 01:02:35,958 academic requirements to 84 01:02:35,958 --> 01:02:37,541 be eligible to play college sports. 85 01:02:38,166 --> 01:02:39,875 And consequently, they actually increased 86 01:02:39,875 --> 01:02:41,791 those standards again in 1992. 87 01:02:43,166 --> 01:02:46,083 In 1995, the first all-female team 88 01:02:46,083 --> 01:02:47,750 competed in what's 89 01:02:47,750 --> 01:02:49,291 essentially the oldest international 90 01:02:49,458 --> 01:02:50,625 competition of any sport. 91 01:02:51,041 --> 01:02:52,208 They competed in the sailing 92 01:02:52,208 --> 01:02:54,000 competition, the America's Cup. 93 01:02:55,166 --> 01:02:58,458 In 1999, Michael Jordan retired for a 94 01:02:58,458 --> 01:02:59,291 second time from the 95 01:02:59,291 --> 01:03:00,958 Chicago Bulls, saying that he 96 01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:02,791 had lost the drive and the desire to 97 01:03:02,791 --> 01:03:04,416 continue playing at such a high level. 98 01:03:05,500 --> 01:03:08,208 And lastly, in 2000, Microsoft Chairman 99 01:03:08,208 --> 01:03:09,250 Bill Gates, he stepped 100 01:03:09,250 --> 01:03:10,583 aside as the chief executive 101 01:03:10,625 --> 01:03:12,625 officer and promoted the company's 102 01:03:12,625 --> 01:03:13,250 president, Steve 103 01:03:13,250 --> 01:03:14,666 Ballmer, to his position. 104 01:03:15,125 --> 01:03:17,000 At the time when he stepped aside, Bill 105 01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:19,250 Gates' net worth was a mere $60 billion. 106 01:03:20,458 --> 01:03:22,208 Today he's worth $160 billion. 107 01:03:23,333 --> 01:03:24,291 Okay, let's go ahead 108 01:03:24,291 --> 01:03:25,125 and move on to birthdays. 109 01:03:25,416 --> 01:03:26,333 Again, happy birthday. 110 01:03:26,333 --> 01:03:28,416 If today is your birthday, you share a 111 01:03:28,416 --> 01:03:30,541 birthday with Julia Louis-Driver. 112 01:03:30,958 --> 01:03:32,250 She's 64 years old today. 113 01:03:32,833 --> 01:03:33,583 Absolutely love her. 114 01:03:34,375 --> 01:03:35,791 Patrick Dempsey, he's 59. 115 01:03:36,291 --> 01:03:38,625 Orlando Bloom is still a young 48. 116 01:03:39,125 --> 01:03:40,833 And Liam Hemsworth, he's 35. 117 01:03:41,875 --> 01:03:43,750 Okay, now on to the music of 118 01:03:43,750 --> 01:03:45,916 the 80s and the 90s and 2000s. 119 01:03:46,208 --> 01:03:48,500 The number one song on this date in 1994 120 01:03:48,500 --> 01:03:50,333 was "Hero" by Mariah Carey. 121 01:03:51,291 --> 01:03:52,208 Carey says this song is 122 01:03:52,208 --> 01:03:53,500 about finding your own strength. 123 01:03:54,125 --> 01:03:56,125 And Mariah needed that strength because 124 01:03:56,125 --> 01:03:57,666 as of 2023 at least, 125 01:03:58,208 --> 01:03:59,458 "Hero" was Mariah's most 126 01:03:59,666 --> 01:04:01,541 performed song with over 127 01:04:01,541 --> 01:04:03,833 505 known performances. 128 01:04:04,458 --> 01:04:05,750 And remember, if you check out Morning 129 01:04:05,750 --> 01:04:06,875 Cereal's Instagram page, 130 01:04:07,250 --> 01:04:08,375 you can hear snippets of all 131 01:04:08,375 --> 01:04:09,250 these number one songs. 132 01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:11,416 And the number one movie on this date in 133 01:04:11,416 --> 01:04:14,083 1975 was "The Godfather Part II." 134 01:04:14,625 --> 01:04:15,750 This is a classic and it's 135 01:04:15,750 --> 01:04:16,958 definitely in my top five movies. 136 01:04:17,500 --> 01:04:19,125 You may know there was a lot of drama 137 01:04:19,125 --> 01:04:20,416 around who would direct the movie. 138 01:04:20,750 --> 01:04:22,000 Essentially, they ended up going with 139 01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:24,083 Francis Fort Coppola, who directed the 140 01:04:24,083 --> 01:04:25,166 original "Godfather." 141 01:04:25,500 --> 01:04:27,458 But he insisted on the flashbacks and he 142 01:04:27,458 --> 01:04:28,166 took home an 143 01:04:28,166 --> 01:04:29,958 outrageous paycheck for the time 144 01:04:29,958 --> 01:04:33,000 of $1 million, which apparently he had 145 01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:33,916 asked for as a bluff. 146 01:04:34,666 --> 01:04:36,958 Another fact, Marlon Brando and Robert De 147 01:04:36,958 --> 01:04:38,541 Niro are the only actors 148 01:04:38,541 --> 01:04:39,875 to have both won Oscars 149 01:04:40,250 --> 01:04:41,625 for playing the same character. 150 01:04:42,416 --> 01:04:44,083 And lastly, I'll need to fact check this, 151 01:04:44,458 --> 01:04:45,375 but Robert De Niro 152 01:04:45,375 --> 01:04:46,791 only speaks eight words 153 01:04:46,791 --> 01:04:48,458 of English playing the role of Vito, 154 01:04:48,791 --> 01:04:49,458 given the character 155 01:04:49,458 --> 01:04:51,041 almost exclusively speaks in 156 01:04:51,083 --> 01:04:51,416 Sicilian. 157 01:04:52,625 --> 01:04:54,458 Okay, let's move on to some personal 158 01:04:54,458 --> 01:04:55,500 growth in the book review 159 01:04:55,500 --> 01:04:56,583 segment of Morning Cereal. 160 01:04:56,791 --> 01:04:58,208 As you know, this is where we take a few 161 01:04:58,208 --> 01:04:59,208 moments to reflect on 162 01:04:59,208 --> 01:05:00,375 lessons learned from the current 163 01:05:00,375 --> 01:05:01,083 book we're reading. 164 01:05:01,583 --> 01:05:02,958 And currently we're reading through Dale 165 01:05:02,958 --> 01:05:04,000 Carnegie's "How to Win 166 01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:04,833 Friends and Influence 167 01:05:04,875 --> 01:05:05,416 People." 168 01:05:05,416 --> 01:05:06,958 It's a timeless book that is consistently 169 01:05:06,958 --> 01:05:07,750 on all the must read 170 01:05:07,750 --> 01:05:08,833 lists and it's packed 171 01:05:08,833 --> 01:05:10,750 with rock solid advice and actions for 172 01:05:10,750 --> 01:05:11,708 all of us to use and 173 01:05:11,708 --> 01:05:12,750 build healthy foundational 174 01:05:12,833 --> 01:05:13,958 concepts to live by. 175 01:05:15,083 --> 01:05:17,625 Okay, last week we finished up part one 176 01:05:17,625 --> 01:05:18,333 of the book, which was 177 01:05:18,333 --> 01:05:19,250 entitled "Fundamental 178 01:05:19,416 --> 01:05:21,541 Techniques in Handling People," where we 179 01:05:21,541 --> 01:05:22,375 learned Carnegie's 180 01:05:22,375 --> 01:05:23,458 first three principles. 181 01:05:24,625 --> 01:05:26,625 Principle number one, don't criticize, 182 01:05:26,791 --> 01:05:27,750 condemn, or complain. 183 01:05:28,583 --> 01:05:29,833 People see things from their own 184 01:05:29,833 --> 01:05:32,000 perspectives, and criticism only 185 01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:33,583 increases the space between 186 01:05:33,583 --> 01:05:35,166 what you want and what they want. 187 01:05:35,541 --> 01:05:37,333 So be disciplined in looking to 188 01:05:37,333 --> 01:05:39,083 understand other people's perspectives. 189 01:05:39,750 --> 01:05:41,291 And also remember to 190 01:05:41,291 --> 01:05:42,375 look for the good in people. 191 01:05:42,916 --> 01:05:44,666 Okay, principle number two was give 192 01:05:44,666 --> 01:05:46,500 honest and sincere appreciation. 193 01:05:47,375 --> 01:05:48,333 Of all else, people 194 01:05:48,333 --> 01:05:49,625 want to feel important. 195 01:05:50,208 --> 01:05:50,833 Giving sincere 196 01:05:50,833 --> 01:05:52,541 praise, not empty flattery. 197 01:05:52,833 --> 01:05:54,375 It's something you can freely give and it 198 01:05:54,375 --> 01:05:55,666 fills the strongest of 199 01:05:55,666 --> 01:05:56,666 the desires and people 200 01:05:56,666 --> 01:05:57,541 to feel important. 201 01:05:58,041 --> 01:05:58,750 So give honest 202 01:05:58,750 --> 01:06:00,458 appreciation and give it often. 203 01:06:01,625 --> 01:06:03,333 Principle number three, arouse in the 204 01:06:03,333 --> 01:06:05,041 other person and eager want. 205 01:06:05,625 --> 01:06:07,625 We all do what we want, so be disciplined 206 01:06:07,625 --> 01:06:09,958 to see others' perspectives and take the 207 01:06:09,958 --> 01:06:12,416 time to find the balance of what others 208 01:06:12,416 --> 01:06:13,916 want with what you want, 209 01:06:13,916 --> 01:06:15,166 such that you will both 210 01:06:15,458 --> 01:06:17,791 eagerly pursue a mutually beneficial 211 01:06:17,791 --> 01:06:19,166 outcome for the both of you. 212 01:06:19,791 --> 01:06:20,541 So that was the quick 213 01:06:20,541 --> 01:06:21,666 summary of part one. 214 01:06:22,125 --> 01:06:23,500 And now that you know the fundamental 215 01:06:23,500 --> 01:06:24,625 techniques for handling 216 01:06:24,625 --> 01:06:26,375 people, we're ready to move on 217 01:06:26,375 --> 01:06:28,416 to part two, chapter one, which is 218 01:06:28,416 --> 01:06:30,083 entitled "Do This and 219 01:06:30,083 --> 01:06:31,500 You'll Be Welcome Anywhere." 220 01:06:32,041 --> 01:06:33,875 Carnegie starts the chapter by suggesting 221 01:06:33,875 --> 01:06:35,000 we take a lesson from 222 01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:35,791 the world's greatest 223 01:06:35,833 --> 01:06:37,791 winner of friends, and you 224 01:06:37,791 --> 01:06:39,083 may be living with him or her. 225 01:06:39,541 --> 01:06:41,416 You'll know him right away because when 226 01:06:41,416 --> 01:06:42,583 you get within 10 feet of 227 01:06:42,583 --> 01:06:43,916 him or her, she'll begin 228 01:06:44,041 --> 01:06:44,916 to wag her tail. 229 01:06:45,250 --> 01:06:46,625 And if you stop to pat him, he 230 01:06:46,625 --> 01:06:47,750 practically jumps out of 231 01:06:47,750 --> 01:06:48,833 his skin to show you how much 232 01:06:48,833 --> 01:06:49,583 he likes you. 233 01:06:50,208 --> 01:06:52,083 And Carnegie points out that she has no 234 01:06:52,083 --> 01:06:54,250 ulterior motives, she doesn't want to 235 01:06:54,250 --> 01:06:55,541 sell you on something, 236 01:06:55,916 --> 01:06:57,125 and he doesn't want to marry you. 237 01:06:57,125 --> 01:06:58,041 It's just pure, 238 01:06:58,250 --> 01:07:00,125 unadulterated affection and love. 239 01:07:01,083 --> 01:07:02,458 Carnegie points out that dogs are the 240 01:07:02,458 --> 01:07:03,625 only animal that doesn't 241 01:07:03,625 --> 01:07:04,625 have to work for a living. 242 01:07:05,333 --> 01:07:07,250 Chickens lay eggs, cows give milk, 243 01:07:07,625 --> 01:07:08,541 canaries have to sing. 244 01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:11,166 But a dog makes their living by giving 245 01:07:11,166 --> 01:07:12,333 you nothing but love. 246 01:07:13,416 --> 01:07:15,416 Carnegie had a dog as a child, Tippi, a 247 01:07:15,416 --> 01:07:17,208 yellow-haired pup as he describes him, 248 01:07:17,458 --> 01:07:18,583 and he was the light 249 01:07:18,583 --> 01:07:20,125 and joy of Carnegie's childhood. 250 01:07:20,958 --> 01:07:22,583 And just like our dog, a miniature dog 251 01:07:22,583 --> 01:07:23,625 sound, when mommy comes 252 01:07:23,625 --> 01:07:25,208 home, our dog absolutely 253 01:07:25,333 --> 01:07:27,458 loses her mind, running through the front 254 01:07:27,458 --> 01:07:28,333 window, then to the 255 01:07:28,333 --> 01:07:29,375 garage door, then back 256 01:07:29,375 --> 01:07:31,083 to the front window, fast as she can run. 257 01:07:31,750 --> 01:07:33,083 Perhaps similar to your dog. 258 01:07:33,291 --> 01:07:35,166 And no doubt, you've seen how happy dogs 259 01:07:35,166 --> 01:07:35,916 are to greet their 260 01:07:35,916 --> 01:07:37,125 owners, and some strangers 261 01:07:37,166 --> 01:07:38,125 too for that matter. 262 01:07:38,916 --> 01:07:39,416 And that's how 263 01:07:39,416 --> 01:07:41,000 Carnegie's dog, Tippi, was too. 264 01:07:41,541 --> 01:07:43,416 Tippi was Carnegie's greatest companion 265 01:07:43,416 --> 01:07:44,666 for five years, until 266 01:07:44,666 --> 01:07:46,375 one tragic night, Tippi 267 01:07:46,375 --> 01:07:47,958 was tragically killed by lightning. 268 01:07:48,708 --> 01:07:50,041 I don't laugh because that's funny, I 269 01:07:50,041 --> 01:07:51,041 laugh because it's sad, 270 01:07:51,041 --> 01:07:52,083 and a very quick turn in 271 01:07:52,083 --> 01:07:53,583 the book that I didn't expect either. 272 01:07:54,208 --> 01:07:56,625 But Carnegie says that Tippi, and nearly 273 01:07:56,625 --> 01:07:58,375 any loving dog for that 274 01:07:58,375 --> 01:08:00,083 matter, never read a psychology 275 01:08:00,208 --> 01:08:01,333 book on how to win friends. 276 01:08:02,166 --> 01:08:03,958 They know it, and they do it by instinct. 277 01:08:04,625 --> 01:08:06,750 And Carnegie says, "You can make more 278 01:08:06,750 --> 01:08:08,625 friends in two months by becoming 279 01:08:08,625 --> 01:08:09,708 genuinely interested 280 01:08:09,875 --> 01:08:12,208 in other people than you can in two years 281 01:08:12,208 --> 01:08:13,208 by trying to get 282 01:08:13,208 --> 01:08:14,458 other people interested in 283 01:08:14,458 --> 01:08:14,708 you." 284 01:08:15,125 --> 01:08:16,875 He repeats this quote, making the point 285 01:08:16,875 --> 01:08:18,166 that showing genuine 286 01:08:18,166 --> 01:08:19,500 interest in someone else will 287 01:08:19,500 --> 01:08:21,375 make you a friend faster than trying to 288 01:08:21,375 --> 01:08:22,750 get someone interested in you. 289 01:08:23,708 --> 01:08:25,625 Carnegie refers again to the fact that 290 01:08:25,625 --> 01:08:27,458 people are looking out for number one. 291 01:08:27,833 --> 01:08:29,208 They are interested at their core, 292 01:08:29,416 --> 01:08:30,458 interested in themselves, 293 01:08:30,791 --> 01:08:31,958 morning, noon, and after dinner, 294 01:08:31,958 --> 01:08:32,875 as Carnegie puts it. 295 01:08:33,875 --> 01:08:35,291 Here's the easy test to prove that. 296 01:08:35,291 --> 01:08:36,750 When you look at a group picture, whose 297 01:08:36,750 --> 01:08:37,875 picture do you look at first? 298 01:08:38,416 --> 01:08:38,958 Yours of course. 299 01:08:39,458 --> 01:08:41,375 And that's because instinctually, we are 300 01:08:41,375 --> 01:08:43,625 interested in our own wants and desires. 301 01:08:44,291 --> 01:08:45,833 But if we simply try to get people's 302 01:08:45,833 --> 01:08:47,208 attention to impress them 303 01:08:47,208 --> 01:08:48,000 and to get them interested 304 01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:51,083 in us, Carnegie says, "You will never 305 01:08:51,083 --> 01:08:53,583 have many true, sincere friends. 306 01:08:54,291 --> 01:08:55,416 Friends, real friends, 307 01:08:55,416 --> 01:08:56,625 are not made that way." 308 01:08:57,625 --> 01:08:59,625 This immediately makes me think of social 309 01:08:59,625 --> 01:09:01,791 media, all those Facebook friends that we 310 01:09:01,791 --> 01:09:03,416 have and how we make posts to 311 01:09:03,416 --> 01:09:04,791 show how interesting we are. 312 01:09:05,416 --> 01:09:07,500 But would we consider those thousands of 313 01:09:07,500 --> 01:09:08,500 people true friends? 314 01:09:09,250 --> 01:09:10,791 How many of them would take a bullet for 315 01:09:10,791 --> 01:09:12,375 you, be there for you when you're in the 316 01:09:12,375 --> 01:09:12,791 hospital? 317 01:09:13,416 --> 01:09:14,875 I'd venture to say that that number would 318 01:09:14,875 --> 01:09:16,625 be much less than a few thousand. 319 01:09:17,625 --> 01:09:19,541 But that handful of people, those few 320 01:09:19,541 --> 01:09:20,500 that are true friends 321 01:09:20,500 --> 01:09:21,833 that would actually be there, 322 01:09:22,250 --> 01:09:22,583 why? 323 01:09:22,791 --> 01:09:23,583 Why is that? 324 01:09:24,125 --> 01:09:26,041 Well, it's because you've shared genuine 325 01:09:26,041 --> 01:09:27,000 moments with them 326 01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:28,291 throughout your entire life 327 01:09:28,291 --> 01:09:29,333 and you've taken a real 328 01:09:29,333 --> 01:09:30,708 interest in each other's lives. 329 01:09:31,166 --> 01:09:32,625 Not just simply showed them 330 01:09:32,625 --> 01:09:34,083 pictures of your last vacation. 331 01:09:34,625 --> 01:09:35,583 As Carnegie says, "Real 332 01:09:35,583 --> 01:09:36,916 friends are not made that way." 333 01:09:37,791 --> 01:09:39,375 So we'll end today's book review segment 334 01:09:39,375 --> 01:09:41,583 with another quote Carnegie repeats twice 335 01:09:41,791 --> 01:09:42,458 because he believes 336 01:09:42,458 --> 01:09:43,750 it's so rich with meaning. 337 01:09:44,458 --> 01:09:46,750 He quotes psychologist Alfred Adler, who 338 01:09:46,750 --> 01:09:47,875 you'll remember from Psych 339 01:09:47,875 --> 01:09:50,041 101, from his book entitled 340 01:09:50,166 --> 01:09:51,625 What Life Should Mean to You. 341 01:09:52,125 --> 01:09:55,250 And he says, "It is the individual who is 342 01:09:55,250 --> 01:09:56,750 not interested in his 343 01:09:56,750 --> 01:09:58,166 fellow men who has the 344 01:09:58,166 --> 01:10:00,333 greatest difficulties in life and 345 01:10:00,333 --> 01:10:02,666 provides the greatest injury to others. 346 01:10:03,666 --> 01:10:06,208 It is from among such individuals that 347 01:10:06,208 --> 01:10:08,041 all human failures spring." 348 01:10:08,833 --> 01:10:10,708 All right, there's a lot in that quote 349 01:10:10,708 --> 01:10:11,375 and we'll definitely 350 01:10:11,375 --> 01:10:12,583 unpack that more tomorrow 351 01:10:12,583 --> 01:10:13,625 as we continue to make 352 01:10:13,625 --> 01:10:15,125 real progress in our book. 353 01:10:15,625 --> 01:10:17,250 And we'll hear more stories and 354 01:10:17,250 --> 01:10:18,625 strategies from Carnegie on the 355 01:10:18,625 --> 01:10:19,541 importance of showing 356 01:10:19,625 --> 01:10:20,875 genuine interest in others. 357 01:10:21,750 --> 01:10:24,416 Okay, go out, make some friends today or 358 01:10:24,416 --> 01:10:25,041 make some friends this 359 01:10:25,041 --> 01:10:26,541 week, but remember to take 360 01:10:26,541 --> 01:10:28,166 a real interest in other people. 361 01:10:29,083 --> 01:10:31,125 These true friends, they're the ones that 362 01:10:31,125
