5 questions:


1. will the decisione violate any morale or ethical principles?
2.who will be effected by my choice
3.what will happen if I do this?/what will happen if I don't do this?
4.would i do this if someone that I really respected knew about this?
5.does this lead me to my path of excellence?

Sometimes i can say really offensive things without meaning it...today i said something really bad, like really bad. I was racist to indian people and i really regret it. I feel like a horrible person.

[ljlemon]

I feel like this will help in my future relationships and with my family and friends thank you

i tend to speak without thinking, and after i say something i realize what i said was rude or inappropriate. i need to learn to think about what i’m saying and how it affects other people and who i’m talking about. the big takeaway for me is asking myself what will happen if i do this because when i say awful out of pocket things, i don’t think about what will happen. i don’t realize until after i do something that it was inappropriate.

Those are some really wonderful takeaways Dr Paul! Thank you so so much !!! Apart from positivity, my two other favourite themes that reoccur in your talks are abundance and excellence ! And the wooden chain! It’s GOLD 🌟....

Thank you tommorow I’m going to try this at school I’m in grade 7 and I want to be better I’m dirty a lot I make random noises to be funny but it just annoys people I’m sometimes pretty rude so tommorow I’m going to think about what I do thank you again

[jkka]

Thank you so much for this video and replying all. I wasn’t diagnosed with ADHD until I was a teenager (about 14 years old) and I have other things that affect my impulse control like a mild intellectual disability and I wish it was so easy and I can’t wait to read your reply

[ZomexFox]

I never take into consideration about how I'm making others feel which leads to me making them uncomfortable without realizing it at first. I really want to stop and think because I don't want to make the same mistakes over and over again

Every day I do something I really regret I have so many problems with saying stuff people hate me I need help

[rockysavage]

Life lesson learnt: never post anything immediately :') always stop & wait/think

[omokok]

I say so many offensive and racist things, (without knowing how severe the words are) to people without knowing that it actually hurts them...

[tecumseha]

Gonna share this one with the family! Great ideas. 👍

[anichols]

Thank you. Powerfully simple concepts that even adults can use to help reduce impulsiveness while working on developing how to learn to think before acting.

[Brock]

I said something in a YouTube livestream. It potentially could have made someone uncomfortable so they ended the stream, which obviously was completely justified. This video will help with no longer doing the stupid thing I did. Thanks.

[MarilouDPille]

Right, think before you say an ethical words so that you will not be hurt because the word penetrates deeper into your mouth

[yaboicatman]

I have Impulsive Type ADHD and not thinking before I act is definitely a huge issue with me
