We will talk more about NordVPN later in the
video but for now let’s get on with how

5
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:23,410
to find your inner genius from the philosophy
of Friedrich Nietzsche.

6
00:00:23,410 --> 00:00:28,170
Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher
who was definitely a genius.

7
00:00:28,170 --> 00:00:33,641
He started to learn Greek alphabet and to
play piano when he was only 3 years old, he

8
00:00:33,641 --> 00:00:40,220
was one of the brightest students and at age
of 23, he was the youngest Professor of Greek

9
00:00:40,220 --> 00:00:41,970
Linguistics.

10
00:00:41,970 --> 00:00:48,370
He was a very close friend of the famous composer
Richard Wagner and with other famous personalities

11
00:00:48,370 --> 00:00:53,580
and he later became one of the greatest philosophers
of all time.

12
00:00:53,580 --> 00:00:58,380
He wrote several books, including “Thus
Spoke Zarathustra”, “Beyond Good and Evil”,

13
00:00:58,380 --> 00:01:03,640
“The Birth of Tragedy”, “The Twilight
of the Idols” and his teachings continue

14
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,110
to shock the world, even today.

15
00:01:06,110 --> 00:01:13,460
For Nietzsche, history itself is a process
of creating geniuses; each genius is somebody

16
00:01:13,460 --> 00:01:17,610
who creates the mental world in which his
successors will live.

17
00:01:17,610 --> 00:01:23,800
In other words, the history of the world follows
the work of the geniuses.

18
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:29,200
Although Nietzsche’s life took a tragic
turn, he created a new mental world to inspire

19
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:30,970
generations.

20
00:01:30,970 --> 00:01:36,360
His teachings inspire everyone who dreams
of becoming a genius, helping them to find

21
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,630
that inner voice to guide them throughout
their life.

22
00:01:40,630 --> 00:01:46,720
According to Nietzsche, if you don’t cultivate
your inner genius, if you don’t own yourself,

23
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,630
you have lived a life of “laziness.”

24
00:01:50,630 --> 00:01:56,100
Certain steps in life can only be walked by
you and only by discovering that inner genius

25
00:01:56,100 --> 00:02:02,550
can you walk that path, so to help you uncover
your own path, in this video we bring you

26
00:02:02,550 --> 00:02:09,590
7 ways in which you can find your inner genius,
from the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche.

27
00:02:09,590 --> 00:02:11,420
1.

28
00:02:11,420 --> 00:02:17,440
Be yourself
Nietzsche says “Be yourself!

29
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:24,170
All that you are now doing, thinking, desiring,
all that is not you”.

30
00:02:24,170 --> 00:02:29,650
According to Nietzsche, life is hopeless and
meaningless without a true liberation from

31
00:02:29,650 --> 00:02:32,440
the chains of opinion and fear.

32
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:39,120
If we remain captive in those chains, we would
be dreary, wandering aimlessly in life.

33
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:44,950
As Nietzsche said, nobody can build the bridge
on which we must cross the river of life,

34
00:02:44,950 --> 00:02:47,170
but ourselves.

35
00:02:47,170 --> 00:02:52,400
Discovering more about ourselves helps us
in better understanding our strengths, our

36
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:58,290
hidden talents, our inner genius, and the
source of our creativity.

37
00:02:58,290 --> 00:03:04,340
The best way to know all of these is to ask
yourself: “What have you truly loved thus

38
00:03:04,340 --> 00:03:05,340
far?

39
00:03:05,340 --> 00:03:12,340
What has ever uplifted your soul, what has
dominated and delighted it at the same time?”

40
00:03:12,340 --> 00:03:17,430
Analyse all of these and you will unveil the
direction you need to take to unleash the

41
00:03:17,430 --> 00:03:19,470
power of your inner genius.

42
00:03:19,470 --> 00:03:26,599
No matter who you are, what your profession
is, on which place on Earth you are, you should

43
00:03:26,599 --> 00:03:32,629
be able to know what you really love doing
in life, what makes you really happy.

44
00:03:32,629 --> 00:03:37,349
For example, you may find out that what you
truly loved was when you volunteered for a

45
00:03:37,349 --> 00:03:43,400
humanitarian cause, what uplifted your soul
was the happy ending from your favourite movie,

46
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:48,000
what has dominated and delighted your soul
at the same time was when you were at work

47
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,879
in a leading position, maximizing the resources
of your team.

48
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:57,440
Based on these findings, that person would
be happiest if they take a direction in which

49
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:03,849
they can be a leader of a community, a position
from which they can make a positive impact,

50
00:04:03,849 --> 00:04:07,090
helping the people in that community.

51
00:04:07,090 --> 00:04:09,920
Here would lie their genius.

52
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:15,300
In the same way, any of us can answer the
questions regarding what we really love, what

53
00:04:15,300 --> 00:04:22,600
uplifts our soul, and use that to find our
own direction and unleash our inner genius.

54
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,339
2.

55
00:04:24,339 --> 00:04:31,080
Be a genius of the heart
Nietzsche says “Genius of the heart whose

56
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:37,610
voice can climb into the underworld of any
psyche, upon whose touch everyone departs

57
00:04:37,610 --> 00:04:46,289
richer, richer in himself, cracked wide open,
more delicate, fragile, and broken, but full

58
00:04:46,289 --> 00:04:48,490
of hopes”.

59
00:04:48,490 --> 00:04:54,589
Nietzsche considered himself the last disciple
of Dionysus, the God of Wine, fertility and

60
00:04:54,589 --> 00:04:57,370
madness in Greek mythology.

61
00:04:57,370 --> 00:05:03,559
He saw Dionysus as a gateway to the depths
of human psychology, a way to understand the

62
00:05:03,559 --> 00:05:06,169
essence of human desires and emotions.

63
00:05:06,169 --> 00:05:13,369
In psychoanalysis, a Dionysian experience
can be considered as a way to release subconscious

64
00:05:13,369 --> 00:05:16,270
desires and bring them to the surface.

65
00:05:16,270 --> 00:05:21,059
For example, a subconscious desire can be
the desire to be romantically involved with

66
00:05:21,059 --> 00:05:25,680
someone you are not supposed to, like someone
who is already married.

67
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:30,229
The more we become aware of what is inside
our subconscious, the more we can control

68
00:05:30,229 --> 00:05:31,229
it.

69
00:05:31,229 --> 00:05:37,069
The more we can control it, the more likely
we are to make good decisions, and therefore

70
00:05:37,069 --> 00:05:41,419
the more psychologically healthy we become.

71
00:05:41,419 --> 00:05:47,040
Being like the God Dionysus as Nietzsche described
him, is not for everybody: It is for those

72
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:52,630
who dare to descend into the abyss of the
human psyche like Nietzsche claimed he did.

73
00:05:52,630 --> 00:05:58,899
But, a more superficial self-analysis can
still be useful for the majority of us.

74
00:05:58,899 --> 00:06:05,270
According to neuro-psychoanalysis, free association
might be a great tool through which we can

75
00:06:05,270 --> 00:06:08,659
perform self-analysis on our own psyche.

76
00:06:08,659 --> 00:06:14,089
By free association, we can dissect our most
intimate thoughts and feelings, we can go

77
00:06:14,089 --> 00:06:21,330
deep inside ourselves, and, by bringing subconscious
desires to the surface, we can release our

78
00:06:21,330 --> 00:06:26,169
Dionysian nature and become “geniuses of
the heart.”

79
00:06:26,169 --> 00:06:31,309
One method through which we can perform free
association is journaling.

80
00:06:31,309 --> 00:06:36,219
If we write in our journal every day, without
censoring ourselves, we can come to a deeper

81
00:06:36,219 --> 00:06:41,610
understanding of what bothers us every day
and we can even find solutions to our most

82
00:06:41,610 --> 00:06:43,649
personal problems.

83
00:06:43,649 --> 00:06:49,110
For example, if you are stuck and unable to
make a major life decision, say marrying your

84
00:06:49,110 --> 00:06:54,869
partner, choosing a better career or moving
to another place, it can help to write the

85
00:06:54,869 --> 00:06:58,089
reasons you would or would not take each path.

86
00:06:58,089 --> 00:07:04,050
Evaluating their pros and cons, as well as
your emotions towards them can help you make

87
00:07:04,050 --> 00:07:08,710
a more informed decision that’s best for
you in the long run.

88
00:07:08,710 --> 00:07:13,979
The more you know about your subconscious
self, the more you know what makes you happy,

89
00:07:13,979 --> 00:07:16,619
what activities make you more creative.

90
00:07:16,619 --> 00:07:22,289
Our inner genius has everything to do with
our creativity, as in our creativity lies

91
00:07:22,289 --> 00:07:28,729
our potential for growth and for leaving our
legacy on the world.

92
00:07:28,729 --> 00:07:30,669
3.

93
00:07:30,669 --> 00:07:38,399
Protect your genius from the herd
Nietzsche says “What we’ve called universal

94
00:07:38,399 --> 00:07:45,119
values, what we’ve called truth, has always
only ever been the personal expressions of

95
00:07:45,119 --> 00:07:49,099
those who promoted them”.

96
00:07:49,099 --> 00:07:55,699
Because we live in a society, we are blinded
by certain standards and rules, we obey certain

97
00:07:55,699 --> 00:07:59,330
moral codes which control our behaviour.

98
00:07:59,330 --> 00:08:06,309
Although these invisible rules give us security,
they also limit our individuality and creativity.

99
00:08:06,309 --> 00:08:12,520
As Nietzsche argues, we are controlled by
a herd morality, which was created by the

100
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,259
ruling class in order to control the poor.

101
00:08:16,259 --> 00:08:22,639
These societal values, what is good and what
is bad are not given by a supernatural being

102
00:08:22,639 --> 00:08:28,529
like God, but rather, they are concepts invented
by the ruling classes.

103
00:08:28,529 --> 00:08:34,300
Although many of these values have a positive
influence over society overall, it is important

104
00:08:34,300 --> 00:08:39,300
to be more aware of them and investigate the
way in which they control us, in order to

105
00:08:39,300 --> 00:08:46,320
educate ourselves, to become who we truly
are and to find our inner genius; the source

106
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,470
of our individuality and creativity.

107
00:08:50,470 --> 00:08:55,770
Millions of us are trapped in traditional
religions and prejudices and, in our attempt

108
00:08:55,770 --> 00:09:00,680
to free ourselves, we can encounter tough
opposition from people who kill their own

109
00:09:00,680 --> 00:09:06,800
creativity and dreams in order to conform
to society and who feel insecure seeing other

110
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,970
people pursuing their creative dreams.

111
00:09:09,970 --> 00:09:14,330
For example, if you are a young woman living
in a country which encourages women to be

112
00:09:14,330 --> 00:09:19,700
only housewives, then you would likely face
a lot of backlash and opposition when pursuing

113
00:09:19,700 --> 00:09:21,890
a career in science.

114
00:09:21,890 --> 00:09:27,510
According to Nietzschean philosophy, you should
protect your inner individuality as a scientist

115
00:09:27,510 --> 00:09:34,680
and your creative spirit as a whole by continuing
to practice science in spite of the opposition.

116
00:09:34,680 --> 00:09:39,800
Although you may never get the recognition
and respect you deserve, your inner creativity,

117
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:46,190
your genius, is the most important life force
you have to fulfil you in the long run.

118
00:09:46,190 --> 00:09:50,840
Even if you are not allowed to go to school,
you can borrow science books, keep up to date

119
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:56,720
with developments in the news, and of course
follow some of the many amazing science communicators

120
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,720
right here on YouTube.

121
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:04,410
To protect your inner genius, you must stop
blindly following society’s rules as they

122
00:10:04,410 --> 00:10:11,030
are not based on universal truths or values,
they are all relative.

123
00:10:11,030 --> 00:10:13,400
4.

124
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:20,890
Genius is no accident
Nietzsche says “Do not talk about giftedness,

125
00:10:20,890 --> 00:10:23,030
inborn talents!

126
00:10:23,030 --> 00:10:27,940
One can assume great men of all kinds who
were very little gifted..”.

127
00:10:27,940 --> 00:10:34,210
We live in a society which considers a genius
as being a rare phenomenon, which takes luck

128
00:10:34,210 --> 00:10:39,741
like being born in a special culture or in
a special family, with a certain status, or

129
00:10:39,741 --> 00:10:45,580
being born ‘gifted’ at, say, music, art,
maths, and so on.

130
00:10:45,580 --> 00:10:51,920
We often feel that they achieved the status
of genius by accident, a miracle, or luck.

131
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,620
We never look at what it is behind their success.

132
00:10:55,620 --> 00:11:00,800
This mentality of seeing a genius might prevent
us from actually becoming one.

133
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:06,850
There is a huge difference between what society
considers being a genius and what being a

134
00:11:06,850 --> 00:11:09,910
genius really is.

135
00:11:09,910 --> 00:11:15,420
Following society's way of looking at geniuses
as rare phenomena, as accidents which happen

136
00:11:15,420 --> 00:11:20,450
only in certain professions or circumstances
might compromise your endeavour to develop

137
00:11:20,450 --> 00:11:21,770
your own inner genius.

138
00:11:21,770 --> 00:11:28,160
Therefore, it is important to disregard what
is popular and focus on what ignites your

139
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:29,700
own flame.

140
00:11:29,700 --> 00:11:34,550
If the thing that really excites you is making
anime art using ancient printing techniques

141
00:11:34,550 --> 00:11:40,420
or dumpster diving for old technology to restore
or upcycle, then great!

142
00:11:40,420 --> 00:11:45,930
Get out there and do it and ignore the haters
telling you to stop because it’s not ‘normal’.

143
00:11:45,930 --> 00:11:50,450
Not to mention ignoring your inner voice telling
you to feel embarrassed or shameful because

144
00:11:50,450 --> 00:11:54,310
your interests don’t conform to current
trends.

145
00:11:54,310 --> 00:12:00,860
Conforming almost never matters, and ultimately
is less likely to lead to your personal happiness

146
00:12:00,860 --> 00:12:04,960
than pursuing the things you know bring you
joy.

147
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,220
5.

148
00:12:06,220 --> 00:12:11,870
Don’t resent geniuses if you want to become
one

149
00:12:11,870 --> 00:12:19,400
Nietzsche says “Our vanity, our self-love,
promotes the cult of the genius: for only

150
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:27,800
if we think of him as being very remote from
us, as a miraculum, does he not aggrieve us...”.

151
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:33,770
We use the words “gifted”, “genius”,
“one of a kind” because we want to protect

152
00:12:33,770 --> 00:12:38,740
ourselves - we do it to shield our own egos.

153
00:12:38,740 --> 00:12:44,150
We might consider it too hard to be like them,
that it seems too much like hard work, so

154
00:12:44,150 --> 00:12:45,950
we say it’s impossible.

155
00:12:45,950 --> 00:12:50,480
Often, when we decide someone is a genius,
we automatically put a barrier on our own

156
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,380
future endeavors.

157
00:12:52,380 --> 00:12:57,320
We think we might never get there, that we
are incapable of doing that, so we called

158
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,290
them “geniuses.”

159
00:12:59,290 --> 00:13:04,610
We think those people had an unfair start,
that they were born with that particular talent,

160
00:13:04,610 --> 00:13:09,620
they were born in that certain country, in
that certain family and so on.

161
00:13:09,620 --> 00:13:15,650
We wish we were more like them or at least
wish we had those same advantages at the start.

162
00:13:15,650 --> 00:13:22,810
In this way, we do not take responsibility
for our life and instead blame external factors

163
00:13:22,810 --> 00:13:23,810
for our failures.

164
00:13:23,810 --> 00:13:27,670
Instead of seeing genius as an out of reach
target, we need to start evaluating their

165
00:13:27,670 --> 00:13:33,110
journey to see how they achieved the status
of genius, to count the number of hours of

166
00:13:33,110 --> 00:13:38,530
work they put in, to evaluate the decisions
they made in life and so on.

167
00:13:38,530 --> 00:13:43,410
Take Nietzsche, for example; You can call
him a genius, but if he hadn’t studied so

168
00:13:43,410 --> 00:13:47,930
much Greek linguistics and Greek philosophy,
he wouldn’t have been appointed to Basel

169
00:13:47,930 --> 00:13:52,160
university, he wouldn’t have become part
of Richard Wagner’s inner-circle of famous

170
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,370
artists and writers.

171
00:13:54,370 --> 00:13:59,690
All his great achievements were accomplished
not because of some innate natural ability,

172
00:13:59,690 --> 00:14:04,990
but through effort and determination in spite
of his fragile physical structure and his

173
00:14:04,990 --> 00:14:07,320
psychological vulnerabilities.

174
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:13,190
Therefore, if you feel a particular intense
interest towards a field, you need to put

175
00:14:13,190 --> 00:14:17,160
in all the effort you can to pursue that career.

176
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,790
For example, imagine you work in a company
and you have always envied a colleague who

177
00:14:21,790 --> 00:14:24,670
is an admired manager in your branch.

178
00:14:24,670 --> 00:14:30,240
You find yourself despising him and assuming
his success is pure luck because of his innate

179
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:35,480
talent to talk to people - a talent you believe
you don’t share.

180
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:41,060
So don’t try and play that game - Instead
of fixating on how they are ‘better’ than

181
00:14:41,060 --> 00:14:47,070
you, you should focus on what you do better
than them; Invest more time and energy into

182
00:14:47,070 --> 00:14:53,470
your work itself, into time management and
self-discipline and you could become successful

183
00:14:53,470 --> 00:14:56,360
in your own individual way.

184
00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:02,290
Everyone’s genius is unique so trying to
measure your genius with another is an unfulfilling

185
00:15:02,290 --> 00:15:05,060
waste of time.

186
00:15:05,060 --> 00:15:07,130
6.

187
00:15:07,130 --> 00:15:13,470
Learn to be diligent
Nietzsche says “All had that diligent seriousness

188
00:15:13,470 --> 00:15:19,670
of a craftsman, learning first to form the
parts perfectly before daring to make a great

189
00:15:19,670 --> 00:15:20,670
whole.

190
00:15:20,670 --> 00:15:25,980
They took time for it, because they got more
pleasure from making something little or less

191
00:15:25,980 --> 00:15:29,960
important, than from the effect of the dazzling
whole”.

192
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:36,050
There are definitely people who appear naturally
gifted and are better at a given activity

193
00:15:36,050 --> 00:15:38,210
than most other people.

194
00:15:38,210 --> 00:15:43,320
For example, even as a child Nietzsche showed
a great talent for music and demonstrated

195
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,160
great intellectual capabilities.

196
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:51,640
However, these raw ‘talents’ were not
enough in isolation: Talent is just the gateway

197
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:56,779
to success, it is not success in and all itself.

198
00:15:56,779 --> 00:16:02,000
Nietzsche took the necessary steps to perfect
them, until he became an excellent musician

199
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,930
and composer, and a great scholar at the University
of Basel.

200
00:16:06,930 --> 00:16:12,790
It is easy to say he was a genius, but if
he hadn’t perfected his talents, hadn’t

201
00:16:12,790 --> 00:16:16,800
focused his energies on music, literature
and philosophy, we would have never heard

202
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,170
about him.

203
00:16:18,170 --> 00:16:23,020
This kind of person appears to us as a genius
because we never saw them grow up or what

204
00:16:23,020 --> 00:16:25,300
they have been exposed to.

205
00:16:25,300 --> 00:16:30,480
When we use the word ‘genius’ or ‘gifted’
to describe an extraordinarily talented individual,

206
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:36,650
there is an underlying implication that devalues
any of the deliberate practice and effort

207
00:16:36,650 --> 00:16:41,910
that went into crafting the skill that the
individual is now an expert in.

208
00:16:41,910 --> 00:16:47,180
We do not take into account that a ‘gifted’
musician spent most of their life playing,

209
00:16:47,180 --> 00:16:52,410
listening to, and composing music, we just
call them a genius in order to avoid daring

210
00:16:52,410 --> 00:16:55,960
to do the hard work they’ve already done.

211
00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:02,029
Those people are not superhuman; all that
separates them from us is their diligence

212
00:17:02,029 --> 00:17:04,679
to achieve greatness.

213
00:17:04,679 --> 00:17:11,419
Mastery can take many years to achieve, but
‘genius’ can be obtained by many of us.

214
00:17:11,419 --> 00:17:17,319
We all have different passions, what we usually
call a hobby, but we rarely cultivate it to

215
00:17:17,319 --> 00:17:21,329
the fullest due to our low level of self-confidence.

216
00:17:21,329 --> 00:17:26,860
We all have the qualities necessary to become
a genius, but not all of us have the right

217
00:17:26,860 --> 00:17:28,390
attitude.

218
00:17:28,390 --> 00:17:32,840
Before you declare for example that you are
a terrible writer, you should practice writing

219
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:40,679
a lot; Short stories, novels, articles, screenplays,
Harry Potter fanfiction… anything your heart

220
00:17:40,679 --> 00:17:46,220
desires, all the while perfecting your style,
comparing it with experts in your field and

221
00:17:46,220 --> 00:17:49,720
learning from the critique you receive.

222
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:55,840
There is no shortcut, greatness requires your
time and energy.

223
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,140
7.

224
00:17:57,140 --> 00:18:03,289
Be grateful and “clean”
In our final quote from Nietzsche for this

225
00:18:03,289 --> 00:18:10,799
video, he says: “A man who possesses genius
is insufferable unless he also possesses at

226
00:18:10,799 --> 00:18:16,679
least two other things: gratitude and cleanliness”.

227
00:18:16,679 --> 00:18:23,640
In spite of his daring and sometimes acerbic
philosophy, Nietzsche was a gentle and sophisticated

228
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,149
human being.

229
00:18:25,149 --> 00:18:31,549
Moreover, he was a very talented poet, piano
player and composer, possessing great artistic

230
00:18:31,549 --> 00:18:32,980
skill.

231
00:18:32,980 --> 00:18:39,059
Nietzsche valued his friendships to extremes
and he never compromised himself for money.

232
00:18:39,059 --> 00:18:43,909
He can be considered a good example of a grateful
person because of his track record of being

233
00:18:43,909 --> 00:18:50,159
a great friend, and a clean person because
of his pride to never compromise himself for

234
00:18:50,159 --> 00:18:51,299
money.

235
00:18:51,299 --> 00:18:56,049
Gratitude and cleanliness can act as major
boosters for your success in life.

236
00:18:56,049 --> 00:19:00,539
The more grateful and clean you are, the more
people will gather around you and will be

237
00:19:00,539 --> 00:19:07,889
transformed by your mastery, and therefore
the bigger impact you can have in the world.

238
00:19:07,889 --> 00:19:13,580
For example, imagine you are a skilful programmer,
one of the best in your field.

239
00:19:13,580 --> 00:19:18,149
Instead of becoming arrogant due to your success,
Nietzsche advises you to maintain a sense

240
00:19:18,149 --> 00:19:23,899
of gratitude, to continue giving your best
in your work and being gentle with your co-workers

241
00:19:23,899 --> 00:19:25,419
and collaborators.

242
00:19:25,419 --> 00:19:31,710
Also, keep yourself clean and do not try to
force your way towards further wealth or recognition

243
00:19:31,710 --> 00:19:36,690
if it compromises your integrity or is against
your better judgement.

244
00:19:36,690 --> 00:19:41,929
It may not feel good in the short term, like
a wilfully missed opportunity, but by doing

245
00:19:41,929 --> 00:19:47,360
so, in time you will be proven right, attracting
more admiration from the people around you

246
00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:53,549
which will automatically propel you towards
more success.

247
00:19:53,549 --> 00:19:58,149
As we said at the beginning, this video is
brought to you by NordVPN.

248
00:19:58,149 --> 00:20:02,960
Each time you access a website, you start
by connecting to your internet service provider,

249
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:07,610
and they redirect you to any websites that
you wish to visit, which means they can see

250
00:20:07,610 --> 00:20:10,239
and log everything you do online.

251
00:20:10,239 --> 00:20:14,830
They may even sell your browsing history to
advertisers, government agencies, and other

252
00:20:14,830 --> 00:20:16,350
third parties.

253
00:20:16,350 --> 00:20:21,740
This risk only increases once you log on to
any public hotspot, either in hotels, cafes

254
00:20:21,740 --> 00:20:27,389
or at airports, since anyone with basic hacking
skills could access your passwords, banking

255
00:20:27,389 --> 00:20:32,379
details, credit card numbers, and any other
private details you send every time you go

256
00:20:32,379 --> 00:20:33,379
online.

257
00:20:33,379 --> 00:20:36,820
Here’s where NordVPN comes into play.

258
00:20:36,820 --> 00:20:41,539
NordVPN protects your information by hiding
your IP address and encrypting all the data

259
00:20:41,539 --> 00:20:46,440
you send or receive by tunneling your internet
traffic through a specially configured remote

260
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:47,440
server.

261
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,669
The encrypted data then looks like gibberish
to anyone who intercepts it.

262
00:20:51,669 --> 00:20:54,409
It is impossible to read.

263
00:20:54,409 --> 00:20:58,480
