What to Do When You have been Friend Zoned

I know a lot of you come to these tapings with your friends. It's so adorable. You look so cute. Just by looking around, I can also tell that some of you have that friend that you wish was your permanently naked friend. Yeah, that's right. Which is why tonight we're talking about the friend zone! Yeah. These two know what I'm talking about. You know what I'm talking about. -[ Laughs ] -Yeah, laugh awkwardly. Okay? [ Laughs ]

What to Do When You have been Friend Zoned

Now, if you don't know, the friend zone is when you're told someone would be lucky to date you... by the person who will never date you. The friend zone is that awkward limbo between dating and not dating, and the whole time you're like, "This isn't great. How did I get here? And why can't I leave?" It's like Forever 21. It's like going to a job interview and being told you have all the qualifications for the job... but they're going in a different direction. And if you don't know you're in the friend zone, I'll tell you how you can know, okay? If you're making a pact to get married if you're still single at 40, you in the friend zone [ Laughter ]

And you're gonna drink way too much at his wedding, girl. [ Applause ] Wait. Where did the term "friend zone" even come from? I heard it started with Ross and Rachel's relationship on "Friends." You know what I'm talking about, right? But I think it goes back even further, to the Trojan War. Yeah. Right around the time Helen of Troy told King of Sparta, "Hey, I think we're just better as friends. Also, what's up with the giant wooden horse?" [ Laughter ] Hey, you watch this show to laugh, but sometimes you're going to learn. Okay?

Deal with it! Check this out. This recent study revealed men are consistently overestimating women's attraction to them. While women -- I know. Shocker. While women are consistently underestimating their guy friends' feelings. So basically women are humble and men are just Drake. [ Laughter ] I mean, seriously. Serena, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj. Drake has gotten sidelined harder than Lonzo Ball with the Lakers. You know what I'm talking about? [ Cheers and applause ]

There are perks to being in the friend zone. I mean, you get a friend! That's someone who can teach you how to talk to women, how to listen to women, and, more importantly, how to make women think that you're listening. It's very important. Okay? Besides, once you've been in the friend zone, you can't unsee what you've seen. Think about it. If you watched Amanda scream at a delivery man, cry during "The Notebook," and steal toilet paper from a restaurant, would you still want to date her? Me. I'm Amanda. I'm that girl. [ Laughs ] Now, look, there's a part of me that thinks the whole "friend zone" thing is a myth.

The friend zone is like a strip club. A dark place invented by men for men so they can pretend that women who don't want them do. [ Laughter ] You liked that, didn't you? Hashtag relatable. Now, let me tell you a secret. All the guys here, can I get a show of hands? Raise your hand if you're a guy. Cheer real quickly. Cheer. [ Men cheer ] You noticed the testosterone when I said, "Cheer." [ Roars ] Let me tell you a little secret. If you want to get out of the friend zone, just get into a relationship. Because women always want what they can't have. It's true. It's like, growing up, I always wanted a talk show, but I couldn't get one, so I started going out with YouTube, and suddenly NBC was like, "Damn, she's fine as hell!" [ Cheers and applause ]

But if you're in the friend zone, you should probably just get comfortable in there, because transitioning out of the friend zone is sort of like hosting the Oscars. You have to wait to be asked, which could never happen. But if it does, it could all go away when they find your old tweets. [ Audience ohhs ] For me, the friend zone's gotten even more confusing since I started dating girls, okay? I've always been really into the sisterhood, but sometimes I'll meet a girl I want to date and accidentally call her "sis."

Once that happens, I've permanently quarantined myself in the friend zone. It's like a receding hairline. As soon as it starts, there's no turning back. Sorry, LeBron. [ Audience ohhs ] I'm from Toronto. Go, Rapts. You're probably thinking, "No way, Lilly. You're too smart, beautiful, and humble to be put in the friend zone." And thank you. You have a great judge of character. Thank you. [ Cheers and applause ] But believe it or not, I've had plenty of guys friend-zone me. I know. They're crazy. Seriously, I can't tell you how many times I get invited over to watch a movie... [ Clears throat ] ...and we actually watch the whole movie. I'm like, "Dude, I do not care what happens to Charlie and his stupid factory. I'm trying to get you to find my golden ticket. Okay? You know what I mean?" [ Cheers and applause ] The thirst is real!

How to Find Easy Jobs in Upwork ?

In this Upwork tutorial, I'm going to show you how to find easy jobs on Upwork that require little to no experience. Hi, my name is David from freelancerinsights.com where we believe you should never stop learning. Upwork is a gold mine for freelancers that are experienced or people who are advanced in their careers. It is also a good place for beginners that have little to no experience of the online working space.

How to Find Easy Jobs in Upwork ?

Now, the reason why I'm saying this is because, you can get work that is entry-level kind of work or beginner friendly that requires no experience. And some of these work is just basic things that you do every single day. Here are some simple tactics or keywords that you can use to get these simple jobs. Now you can either use terminologies when doing your such like newbie, newbie friendly. And when you search for such terminologies on Upwork, basically what you're searching for is work that can easily be done by freelancers.

Now you may need to put the job or the search term in quotation. Or let's just change the friendly to "newbies welcome" to search for the-- an exact word. And the reason why I'm doing this is because it's something that I've done and I know this works. So for example, there's this potential job posting that says possible income, $250, $350 per month, ongoing position available, newbies welcome. Basically, the characteristic of this job is that it's going to be low paying.

It's going to be highly competitive, and what happens is that you can easily get hired for these kind of work. And these work is to just try to help you get feedback, get work history so that future potential clients can easily hire you based on the feedback they are seeing and the job history that they are seeing. Secondly, these easy jobs can be based on something like a language. Let's say if I look up the word like Somali. And what happens is some of these jobs are easy to do if you know the dialect. For example, there's this job posting video editor who speaks Somali.

I need to edit a short clip that is spoken in Somali. I have a rough translation in English and I will give directions of what to edit. So basically it's 23 hours ago, and the job is less than five applicants- the proposal that is. So what I'm trying to show you is you can use language based, you can even look for a location and let's say maybe a search term, like, let's say, "tour guide"..."Tour guide". For example, you don't want to go anywhere from your place. This is location based kind of work and a tour guide. Let's say you are in Prague and a particular company's hiring locals to show people, connect people, do fun things.

You know the way Airbnb, does their own thing? You can also look for tour guides as a key term when searching for these jobs. So basically what I'm trying to show you is there's an easy way to find these easy jobs on Upwork. Just by using simple terms that you do every day. We can even look for something like no experience -experience. And see what we'll get, how many jobs, we see if there's any person posting that kind of work. So basically, you can see- now this one is just saying, if you apply and you have no experience, we will report to Upwork. So basically that's a no go zone. huh. This one is saying the client has no experience in that zone.

I'm looking for someone to help me get my blogger site. I have no experience embedding images or sites. So basically it is a client that needs- and is saying that they have no experience. So it's an easy way for you as a freelancer to also get this kind of work if you have the experience embedding images or sites. And basically the client wants you to screen share and walk through them as you teach them. Now, some other particular term that you can use is, some of these, you look for keywords like training.

For example, these particular job posting, has the words, "full training provided". Like the client is willing to train you. I'm planning on training you from the ground up in everything you need to know about... So basically some of these jobs, you just need to use some keywords. Look at-do you know the dialect, the language being spoken, the language the client needs, the kind of work the client needs, and you'd be easily on your way to getting your first job by just doing simple searches, and these such as can also guide you to create your portfolio or sample items that you can use on Upwork.

I hope this video has been easy enough for you to follow and you can start getting these easy jobs even if you are a beginner on Upwork or have little to no experience. In the next tutorial, we're going to be looking at categories of easy jobs on Upwork that require little to no experience. Here, we're going to take a deeper dive into some of the jobs that I've seen and most of them that you can easily get hired for. Thank you for watching this video. Until next time, never stop learning.

How to Build a Daily Drawing Habit

Hello and welcome to Verbal to Visual. My name is Doug Neill and today I'd like to share some things that I've been doing lately to become more and more comfortable with drawing - a daily habit that I've worked into my morning routine that helps me to slowly build my visual vocabulary over time and also serves as a bit of a warm-up to get me in the mode of sketchnoting, of visual note-taking, that I stay in for my work day.

And that's the specific type of drawing that I'll be talking about here. Not so much the artistic side of drawing, but more drawing for the purpose of taking notes on something that you're learning, or maybe drawing out a presentation that you're going to give. So here's a pretty simple three-step process that you can use to get yourself set up for this type of daily drawing habit. A good starting point that I've found to be helpful is actually giving yourself a dedicated space to do this daily drawing.

How to Build a Daily Drawing Habit

When I first started working this bit of daily drawing into my morning routine, I decided to get a new, somewhat special notebook. I picked up this large one from the local bookstore and decided to make it my dedicated drawing warm-up journal. And the size was important for me. In this notebook each page is 9 inches by 12 inches, and the way I use this on a daily basis is by filling one of those pages every morning. I use a large black marker to do that. I don't do any pencil sketches first, so the drawings are by no means perfect, but I do like them. And that actually brings us to step two in this process.

You'll want to pick a source material to pull from while you do these drawings. So for me, I'm not imagining these images here. I've selected a couple of sources that I like to use, to have a visual reference to look at as I recreate those drawings. One of my go-to's in that realm is a website called The Noun Project. It's a large collection of icons of varying degrees of complexity. Sometimes I just scroll through the latest and pick ones that I like and draw those, other times I'll try to find a particular designer with a collection that I enjoy and I'll draw from those.

What I like about using that as the source material is that in many cases that simplistic style of icon - those are the types of images that I enjoy weaving into the visual notes that I take. So there's a decent amount of transferability in terms of the types of images that I'm practicing drawing. Another source of things to draw is an app called Wordraw. That app simply gives you a random word to draw and I often will use that, in combination with a Google image search of that word, to find the style of it that I'd like to draw.

And for me, I like the randomness of it, of not knowing what word is going to come next. That kind of keeps it interesting, but I still get to choose via that Google Image Search, sometimes adding the word icon or cartoon after it, I get to pick the style of that object that I'd like to recreate in my drawing. So The Noun Project and that app are my current go-to sources for the things that I draw. Another thing that I've done in the past is actually use the outside world as source material, going on a walk and just looking for singular objects that I can draw.

And in that case I might use a smaller, more portable notebook. And that gives me the opportunity to practice viewing an object, breaking that real object down into relatively simple lines, and recreating that in my sketchbook. Right now, though, I like incorporating this drawing habit into my office space here, and into my consistent morning routine. And that brings us to step three in this process. I think it's helpful to pick a spot within your day to put this drawing habit. For me it happens early in the morning, kind of right at the beginning of my work day because I use it as a warm-up of sorts, just to get me drawing sooner rather than later since that's a big part of the work that I do, doing a lot of sketchnoting throughout the day, and also teaching sketchnoting.

So consider where in your day you might like to place this habit. When you have all three of these things in place: a dedicated notebook or space where you do your drawing, a set of source material that you can pull from, and a dedicated spot within your day to do this drawing - having that in place just sets you up for success, to actually establish and maintain this habit from day to day and week to week. And I've found that it's a habit that kind of builds on itself, partially because it's fun to look back through this journal to see the drawings that I've done in the past, to remind myself that this is a skill that I'm okay at and can keep developing, and that kind of gives me motivation to keep filling a new page each day.

I've also found that this notebook has kind of turned into a resource of its own, a resource that I can use when I start sketchnoting with new materials. For example, I'm spending more and more time using the iPad and Apple Pencil combination of tools. I've got a course that I'm working on that looks specifically at digital sketchnoting. And to increase my comfort with this particular tool set, it's been nice to reference those sketchbook pages and recreate some of the icons that I particularly like, those that I might be most likely to use in a future note-taking session.

And I can imagine the next time that maybe I choose to do some large-scale sketchnoting up on the wall, I can also turn to that notebook to find some images that I might want to draw, just to get comfortable standing and drawing on the wall. So in addition to continuing to fill that notebook with new images each day, I also see opportunities to use it as a resource in other contexts. And with that I encourage you to establish your own daily drawing habit, especially if you're interested in sketchnoting but maybe not yet super comfortable with the idea of drawing.

This is a way for you to kind of establish a baseline level of comfort with the act of drawing, to slowly build that skill over time and also to kind of prep you for the sketchnoting you might do later in the day or maybe even immediately after doing this drawing habit. It can help you overcome that hurdle of discomfort with drawing, get that out of the way so that you can then just focus in on the thing that you're sketchnoting. I hope that the three steps that I outlined here help you build that daily drawing routine into your day.

And if you would like a PDF download of a recap of those steps and also the examples that I've shared, then come check us out on Patreon. I'm actually doing kind of a soft launch of a new Patreon account specifically for these videos that I make about sketchnoting that to me kind of fulfill a different role than the courses that I make at Verbal to Visual. I enjoy making these kind of stand-alone lessons that allow me to address specific topics that might not fit into a particular course. So the idea with this new Patreon is to provide some follow-up resources connected to each of these videos to make it a little bit easier for you to put into practice the specific thing that I share.

These videos will continue to be free, but if you want to tap into those extra resources and also just to support the further creation of these types of videos, Patreon feels like a good place to do that. So go check that out if you want to kind of get in on the ground floor. I think in a couple of videos I'll do a more detailed description and kind of launch of that, but if your interest is already piqued then do go check it out. Thank you so much for watching this video, good luck building your own daily drawing habit, and I'll see you again soon. Till next time.

How to Eat Vietnamese Cassava ?

Today I introduce to you how to process Vietnamese cassava tubers This tuber is very well boiled or steamed In the past, Vietnam was still poor and had no rice to eat, so Vietnamese people used this cassava root to mix with sweet potato or some rice to eat to reduce hunger. The easiest way is to peel and bring it to a boil or steam it. I truncated before peeling.

How to Eat Vietnamese Cassava ?

This manioc tuber is the underground part of the cassava plant, I have a picture of the manioc tree for you to check out. To peel this root, cut a knife in a spiral around the bulb. There. Always easier to peel the cassava tubers. Very easy to peel. You boil this tubers on the dotted line, or you steam this tuber with coconut water and spread more grated coconut over the tubers. Eating will be very delicious This is cassava tubers after peeled off Some of these tubers have black borders that have been dug up for 2-3 days but do not affect the quality of the bulbs Eating these black-edged bulbs is usually enjoyed by older people because they feel fatter and more plump.

I rinse the water to wash the cassava root out I took water to prepare steamed cassava tubers. I put a tray to put the tubers in. Cover and put on the stove.

How to Trade During a Market Crash

So we live in an era of extreme volatility in the markets, and depending on the day, you might hear a stock market crash coming, stock market crash resolved. People love to kind of talk about the apocalyptic ending of Wall Street. It almost reminds me of the trend in zombie movies, except its come to Wall Street. But today I wanna talk about why as a short term trader, you literally do not care about a market crash.

Hey everyone, Lead trainer with StocksToTrade, Tim Bohen here. Be sure to subscribe and like the video. We drop a lot of tips, how tos, we even do live videos, where we break down the trade of the day and then quite often stuff like today, where we're talking about more macro, big picture ideas. So be sure to ring that bell to be notified as soon as the next video hits. So, today I'm gonna talk about the market crash.

How to Trade During a Market Crash

Whether it is or isn't coming, I literally don't care, and you as a short term trader shouldn't either. Now, I wanna re-phra, or extrapolate, I guess I would say. I don't want the market to crash. We've been in an amazing bull market since 2008, 2009 and it's been a wild ride, great for trading. I don't want it to crash, but the simple fact is at some point there's going to be a pull back, and am I laying awake at night worrying about this, planning for it, et cetera. And the answer is, no, because the great thing about low price stocks and the great thing about short term trading is you're trading volatility. There's going to be big moves no matter what.

I think back to when I got started actively day trading. I actually have a lifelong history in finance. I was interested in stocks in the fourth grade, but I came to the markets in 2007, to trade short term, because of the big moves. So you should always know your stock market history. Go back to 2007, 2008, so the financial crisis, Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, I mean we had some extreme moves, and it was one of the best times to trade because you would see those huge drops, and those bounces, and those huge drops, and those huge moves back. So volatility is what we love, as short term traders.

Don't be like the old guys, that want to buy and hold, and hope this stock is higher forty years later. That's not what we do, and I don't think that's the way you grow a small account. I mean, if you've got a thousand dollar, a two thousand dollar account, you can't buy one stock and wait twenty years for it to double. In twenty years from now, you'll have a four thousand dollar account. By the time you, inflation, fees, et cetera, you're probably, you might be break even at best. You're probably, to be honest, with a small account, you're probably negative in twenty years, because of inflation and fees, and interest, and everything else.

So, I don't care because when market crashes happen it brings volatility. And there will always be trading. There will be no end to the stock market. It will always be here. Well, barring the joke in the beginning, if there is a true zombie apocalypse. We do need electricity, we do need computers, to trade, but trading has always been around. You go back to the early beginnings of mankind, if I had a fire, and you had a dead animal, we would trade my fire for your meat. It's ingrained in humans to trade. Many of you trade everyday, and you might not know it. You might be like, well Tim, I've never placed a stock market trade.

I don't even have a brokerage account. Well, I'm willing to bet you've had a job at some point. Whether it's mowing lawns, or doing tech support, or a lawyer, you're trading your time for money. You've got a finite resource, your time, your life, and you're trading it for another resource. So it is deeply ingrained in humans. That's why we see bitcoin run, that's why we see weed stock runs, et cetera. So my point is, in summary, don't be afraid of the stock market crash. Learn trading now, you can learn every day. We've got a, the StocksToTrade YouTube channel. We've got hundreds of videos here. We've got the SteadyTrade podcast. There's millions of books, there's all these assets out there. Study, learn, there's always opportunity in the market every trading day, and it doesn't matter if the stock market goes up, or goes down, if you have these skills, you can trade it.

Um, you know it's driven a lot by the media. You know, the media thrives on uncertainty, and they like to scare you about a lot of things. So, just drop a yes or no below. I'd be curious if you're concerned about a stock market crash, or if you're just ready to trade it no matter what happens. Thanks a lot, and we'll see you in the next video.

Important Home Buying Process and Tips

Everybody hears the words location location location and that shouldn't just mean the address on the street it should mean the neighborhood and the community that you are buying into so my suggestion is if you feel like you have found that location that you love and you want to live in go check things out. So here we are at the secret trail in the seascape resort this is a deeded access trail from seascape to the homes that are in this neighborhood and it is a lovely Beach we're gonna take you to it but this is a beautiful area you don't want to miss it.

Important Home Buying Process and Tips

Here we are at the beach. We just walked down the path which is maybe like 100 feet from the parking lot at seascape resort and the beach is essentially private not a lot of people use it which is amazing because all of our most of the other beaches in Santa Cruz are super crowded, so that also makes this one of my favorite beaches in Santa Cruz. So another thing about the way that I like to conduct my business with buyers is I like to honor their time now some of my buyers are coming from out of town and some people are in town but regardless most people work and have lives so one way that I incorporate technology and saving my clients some time is by utilizing FaceTime or video text and video messages so that I can show them around a home if we are able to FaceTime they can ask questions or have me slowdown in areas and that either will confirm that they want to see the home in person or allow them to say that they're not interested.

It's a great time-saving tip and it works really really well. Hi there! Shemeika Fox here, your Santa Cruz real estate expert, and I want to talk a little bit about staging for the buying process now when I consult sellers I absolutely recommend staging for several reasons one reason is that when a buyer walks into a home they can get a better sense of the space they can see how furniture is laid out they can imagine their own furniture in the space and they feel like they're at home.

When the space is empty, you focus on the empty space so I always advise that my sellers stage their home. And as a buyer since I am talking about the buying process I like you to imagine yourself in the home and enjoy the beauty of the staged house but then visually remove the staged items; remove the accessories so that you can actually see the space in its totality without the accessories getting in your way so that you can understand the space and really know what house is that you're buying. Shemeika Fox signing out.

Your Santa Cruz real estate expert. Here to help! My goal is to make the fear and the unnerved go away and make it fun and a positive experience so this is my buyer's guide and if you want more information on it you can click the link below and it will take you to my website and you can download the free pdf and always also feel free to make an appointment with me because I can go over everything in person. Wait, I didn't do. I want to do it over I didn't like any of that.
