Interpreted, it says, \u201cYou big dummy, of course, you deserve the best, why would you think otherwise?\u201d We all want the best, but what is the best? Is my best the same as society\u2019s? As yours? I\u2019d venture to say no, and it\u2019s the difference in opinion that makes all the difference in the world.<br \/>\nEvery year I host an anti-Oscar party where a group of my film snob friends and I watch a film that would never have a chance at winning an Oscar. * We do this because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If we don\u2019t agree that <em>The Artist<\/em> (2011) deserves Best Picture then we are free to form our own opinions and free to think differently, argue, and offer our thoughts.<br \/>\nThinking differently\u2014outside the box, critically\u2014is more than simply being contrary to popular thought, but making sure you have an informed opinion. Perhaps too often, we are easily trapped by the easy answer to why? \u201cBecause.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ve always felt this way.\u201d<br \/>\nBut because I\u2019m worth it and you\u2019re worth it, we need a bit more. You can\u2019t have a solution to a math problem without the work, so similarly, how can you have an opinion without reasons? And the remarkable thing about opinions is that they\u2019re entirely your own. Recommendations and advice can create new and exciting opportunities especially when others fancy you an expert in a specific field. If you find yourself \u201cI don\u2019t know\u201ding, you need to dig in and understand who you are as an individual and what forms your thoughts, ideas, and opinions.<br \/>\nChoices in life are important and must not be taken lightly. If you tell someone your favorite pizza is pepperoni, bacon, and jalape\u00f1o, I encourage you to understand what it is about those toppings that appeal to you.** Pretend you were encountering a member of the anti-bacon-pizza lobby. How would you defend it?<br \/>\nI urge everyone who is reading this to find an hour (impossible, I know) to turn off the music, turn off the Netflix, and just lay\/sit\/stand in silence and see where your mind goes. See what crosses your mind and you\u2019ll be amazed at what you might find. Maybe you\u2019ll finally get the gumption to try a new hobby, maybe you\u2019ll finally get that joke your co-worker told two days ago, or maybe you\u2019ll learn something important about yourself.<br \/>\nUsing this technique over the years, I learned that I enjoy making barn quilts, should probably lose weight and drink less, and even made big life choices such as choosing not to go back to school and instead turning my talents towards building a portfolio and learning on my own.<br \/>\nSo, take some time to get to know yourself, because only then can you truly give meaningful advice to others. You don\u2019t buy a vacuum from a salesman because you need a new vacuum. You buy it because he has convinced you he knows what he wants and likes in a vacuum, and you agree with his opinion that <em>this<\/em> vacuum has now become the best option.<br \/>\nWith all this will come character and a thick skin for feedback from other strong-minded individuals who enjoy the challenge of a debate. Remember, it\u2019s a jungle out there, and we all need to survive and have passion for life, because you, me, and everyone else is worth it.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n**And so you all don\u2019t have to ask, it\u2019s because the spices of the pepperoni blend amazing with the extra spice of the jalape\u00f1o, and I\u2019m just a sucker for bacon\u2019s crispy pork fat. Put it all together on a thin crust and you have entered Crunchy Flavor Town.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-3836 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/etereman.com\/remanu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/RU_AMegow_blog.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"169\" \/>In The Video Guy&#8217;s Reman U debut, he explains that he, you, and I are all worth it.
