If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).

A

All right, you were operated this high-tech thing. We would do something different today and hopefully everybody will pay attention. Okay, I'm going to give you some my only experience to share with you that I think you would thank me. 10 years from now, all right, it said, I was born in China and came to this country. I just had the interview with a young man over there. He asked me say the: why do you pay attention to language you so much I say to me it was a necessity. Survival necessity.

A

You know when you go to China or Chinese people. If you understand those language is totally different right, property is the only ancient hieroglyphics is still in practice and we cannot change it, but by the way, I hate it. When I was young, okay I still hate it. I, don't like Chinese language very much, because it's so hard I'm not going to fresh this on the screen. By the way, can you see a little bit right? These are the language. Okay! You I want you to appreciate that you guys all including me now so easy.

A

We tax each other right texting, guess what Chinese people couldn't do that? How do you do that now? You probably do not know that you already have that software there. If you go to that setting you can set the language in Chinese. Add to it. What happened is on that little texting scream. You cannot see very well, but it just assumed okay or whatever assume right here. You can push that after you said there is a a group earth looking I count right there.

A

You can push that and then you push again and then you push again and it give it to you a little screen tiny little screen. Can you see a little bit? You say if you cannot see you there, you know what I'm talking about. Then you see okay, I'm, going to pick up a very simple word: okay, look at here. Can you see that that thing it's a little rectangular and you make a bar okay watch this?

A

Okay, if you cannot see very well just assume, okay I thought that I'm going to do say I'm going to draw here, go down. Do you see just right there and then the smart computer intelligence? It will say: do you mean that you know just like your your Sperry? Do you mean, but instead of that you put all this lettering comes out. You know. I cannot spell very well so now, I'm, so terrible, just say: yeah yeah!

A

That's what I wanted it just hit there just auto spelling for me, but now here is just Auto picture for you all right. It will popped up some images. It looks like that so I I can see. You cannot see so I'm going to just push the that thing right there. Now once you push that thing right there, and then you select. What does that mean? That means you either right and then you select in the confirm or you can buy F abet, achill, meaning that word is tomb pronounces.

A

So how do you do that? You just say so so maybe Z H om G and then they were popped out. The picture not not Z H om G is not the language. Okay, it's not the Chinese language. Now don't do that! I'm! A current American people went to the street and with the Chinese you know, I'm going to spell for you, Chinese people don't spell Chinese people. Look at the picture. Can you draw a picture? They're American people cannot draw that picture. I only had the first a grade of Chinese.

A

You know you cannot do that. So so you you type. Let me give you a demonstration. Okay, so our young people, you know on the on the bus or or on the subway I, just got back from New York. You know the everybody to to to to to to you know, use a finger like to do doing like that. They do all right, the Chinese young man or the young girl. It goes like this. Did you to choose?

A

Did you choose okay, your spell's, the hom that this software will pop out the image? And then you have to click that to choose. You got it so double work! That's why Chinese people don't like to text me they're. Very much like you guys, because it's a cup of work spell II, choose spelling click, spelling click, so every one of this word I did feel sorry for me right. So I wrote this how much now this is a phonetic thank God. You know this. Is this Steve Jobs or whatever Apple, even put all the pronunciation?

A

So you see all this is the pronunciation? Don't worry about that, but I'm going to tell you this I want to make a point. Why I'm doing this? All because you guys is going to live in this age, would be more and more artificial intelligence to help your life, which is a great but don't take it literally. If you take a literary, what happened you said: okay, intelligence is so great I, don't even have to study Chinese, because now I can take this Daniel me.

A

This guy wrote this ok, just assume I did ok, alright, all the grandma everything's, pretty ok, the Chinese! So no problem about it. It couldn't be that bad, so I take this a copy paste that you see severe now this young lady did that for me copy paste it on we're with Google right. That is, a google translator. Now someone is good with the robot sound I want you to someone. Can we all read it this, ok, very quick! Ok! Can we do that? Alright, let's, let's see what the Google says?

A

Okay, how about does anybody you can read? You can't do that? Alright, okay, you do you. You do a little bit and I pointed the other person to do. Okay, continue, okay, pay attention! All right! Compare tension! Okay, you started from the beginning, read a little bit louder, so everybody can.

B

My father and what time to persuade me what to do? There is no such shock in this village, but I said in the article that there is no sweatshop in this village. I said it's my opinion repeated. If you beat these two, you can stop.

A

You come here, yeah read aloud. Er continued continued, our um yeah. Where was that just just to pick up us somewhere said I, don't okay, I! Don't.

C

Agree with this statement is my opinion repeated. If you read these two articles carefully, you can. It is a very simple fact at the time in the world is the truth on one occasion and in another reality it is deviated from reality. My own worldview is still improving and improving, and now I am more satisfied. I realised life as a circular or spiral, hopefully upward stay away rather than a straight flat road. That means a certain point on the spiraling path of life.

C

The so called the idea that the store is not in this village is realistic, but when the path of life leads you to the same position, you're likely to have another chance. If the reader can combine these two articles and read them, you can come up with a truth that I want to say don't, say anything think about the reality and imagine the future and the whole picture. Surprised and misfortune in life must be analyzed calmly and rationally, so as to be confident, optimistic and down-to-earth.

C

If you feel that your life is full of contradictions, you can solve the conflict with this style. I hope that there will be no contradictions and everyone's like only completely smooth, while.

A

A whole may call a go-go sounds like a lling or a very holy God. Is speaking, that's what the Pogo did. You probably got some ideas so that Chinese guy was say. Trust me that chang-keuk I was not talking like that.

A

That was just Google Google. Did that now I give you something you will laugh at it, but you can appreciate that when you travel to China to the villages, villages, those towns, beautiful towns, they have because now China is very commercial right and that they find out a lot of foreign tourists.

A

But these people, just like you, look at the English like a Greek, see real nice English and they want it to have English signs everywhere, but they did not understand English right. Just like you guys, don't understand the Chinese. So if you go to.

A

Google say the okay I'm going to put my English there and then Google will give me the Chinese and beautiful fonts and spend a lot of money with this. A graphic artist or printing shop made a fancy-looking sign. Put it everywhere, guess what those English would be equivalent to two just like that Chinese to that English and that when they put it there in Chinese there they were popped out. Those kind of funny thing and in China, give you example: I went to a bathroom.

A

They were asked us not to waste the water, but they used that word to save you. No, you save water, but it's a wrong word in Chinese. They put us somewhere. It's like a you save money like a you, take a water, you know, take it to your office and put it in your drawer right then conserve. So you you have to be careful. The machine only can do that now, but you gotta some idea. All right. Let can you do my email. I gave it the first to editing okay.

A

First, the editing draft is this like that, but I will have someone who can pronounce a lip. That gentleman was really good can pronounce a louder. Someone can read that final editing voices, so we would actually know what did that Chinese paragraph was all about. Can you read yeah yeah, you do it? Okay, oh, don't give it to him. He is good. Let him a very sure very sure, read a little bit louder, so everybody can hear yeah.

D

He was trying to persuade me to move on if I missed an opportunity. Another true or false, miss this village missed the shot. I said I no longer agree with the saying, like contradict myself. If you believe my two are the most carefully, you will discover a simple back. Something may be true on one occasion. Right may be totally false at another time in.

E

Another reality.

D

I am in the process of, however, I happily discover life is a circular or spiral. Hopefully, upward is their way rather than a straight flat down. That means that a certain point on the spire like that applied to this ideology, so-called messy, that's this belly- miss fish shop is only partially correct because when the spiraling path of life leads you to the same perspective, you are like me to have another chance to see and do the same thing.

A

Continue yeah continue to finish this.

D

Together they can come up with the true which truth which I want to emphasize. You don't give anything and absolutely conclusion, think about the reality and imagine the feature, and now, as the bigger picture surprises you, misfortune and life must be analyzed with Tom and rationality, so you can be confident top domestic and down the earth as well. If you feel that your life is full of contradictions, you can solve the conflict with this manner. Thinking I wish there will be no contradictions and everyone's right all.

A

Right now we can understand much better, but how that Google Translate turned into this paragraph. Of course, I got a help from your library and everybody else, but I did it the first diversion so I did. The first version is to show you that we really have to have imagination, correct imagination, creative thinking in order to get the accurate meaning of that. You cannot just take it literally from that artificial intelligence and I believe that problem will continue to exist, because why? Why is like this in this world?

A

The language invented in China in that region, by the way, your common sense, the Chinese language with the Korean kanji Japanese words they're, all related just like when we look at the Latin system of the language of the French, the English German, or all these kind of things maybe can take into the ancient Latin words related, but these two in the ancient they even did not know each other. They were exist and coexisted on this earth, and then this is a common sense.

A

When I came to United States right I said: oh, these people are, you know your human beings. You cry, you laugh and I'm a human being too, but we never really thought. Okay, most people never thought, but I had a to that time. Very so, what's actually your brain if a physical substance of the thoughts is your vocabulary and you say ah democracy, democracy and then you said: oh, hey, Daniel! You came from China right, maybe you don't know very much about democracy.

A

Let me look at the dictionary you find out two words: do you even the Google that time dictionary had a pronunciation, so you said yeah so yo to you, you know phonetically, they spelled for you. So you came to Daniel to me, say: hey you from China right. Let me tell you, let me tell you a little bit about the to you.

A

Have you ever thought? The word that to you in my brain is the same feeling as the vocabulary: democracy in your brain.

A

D

A

Of that you don't have to, but I had a every day, not only one worried but bunch over words every day sentences.

A

So when you go to another culture, you really have to think like you today, you are landed in China bunch of people. Well, it's not a big deal. You have seen oriental people look like me, but then you say all so many of them. They look like that, but more important. You have to say these people, their brain inside the del brain. Can you fresh it back to those Chinese words?

A

This is thing that stuff in our brain is not that stuff. That stuff is machine Google and the other word to find the one. That's us! That's fun your library and understood this. So these things we at least have to pay attention to, and I really think in this world, all the conflicts and so called the cultural clash. Is this stuff? It we don't understand, very well I'll, give you another thing or I: don't want to be part of two political, but I. Think it's a okay that just talking about democracy right.

A

So it's a deal. It's a two different words yo. What is literally okay, great I have a thing to hear. Now you know Chinese, you know one. You already got it. Okay looks like this.

A

Is it there's your work? Oh yes,.

A

A

Very sensitive words, but it's okay, that's the two words in the dictionary is democracy. But let me give you a little bit picture. You don't have to know the language. Okay, you you just needed to know the picture that that's what the Chinese language is all about. So here, do you see it?

A

Okay, let's this this apart. Without that that part is a word, move, meaning two eyes: how do you know it's a to isolate, Saturn a 90 degree. Look at this I'm thank God I'm, an artist!

A

Well, that's the little eye! That's the little eye, and here is the nose and forget that that alien okay here is the mouth in the and then in there you know you got it so I have I you see when I was a younger I. Look really nice had a lot of hair yeah going down. Iii cannot do this anymore. I lost the hair right. I still have some, but so you go so right here. You know y'all man, oh.

A

You know I'm touch like that. All right, so now watch this okay, I'm. Having my eye look at you. hmm That means self self confidence, so that word itself got it okay. Let's do this way? Okay! That way, we also have another word. It looks like this now we all were farmers right agriculture, so that word is a field right, your great-great-grandfather, you know all the generation above before the Industrial Revolution, we were all farmers. So please connected right.

A

So just give you a little bad year now from your generation, um you really needed to have a creative mind: okay and the jobs, industrial computers. Everything like that, so look at the whole picture. My book, these are my two bestest sailors, this book, you have it in the library, but my desk is over there on your way out. You can pick up an information. This book are tight, entitled thinking outside the box, but I don't want you it's about my timer I I. Think you can hear me on this.

A

This book you go to I have gone through a lot of seminars. Talking about what is thinking outside the box, you can Google actually got a lot of YouTube seminars talking hours about what it is thinking outside the box and then you after the seminar, then one so I- think you're thinking outside the box. That content is not a rocky science. Okay, I, don't want to talk about it. I wanted point out is that success is a habit, success habit.

A

So this book is from day one to exercise your mind. Your mind would be exercised this way and answer your question: how many words there 50 words there: what were they for 50 days to form that creative thinking thinking outside marks, habit happy now? What this is is all about that I use a good example.

A

I gave it to a previous time other students, so I did this I'd taken people so name, for example, a very long name doesn't matter how long I don't want to erase other people's stuff say if I'm going to do a word, Elizabeth. Okay, you live that Beth.

A

The game of this book is any words you take all the letters to make a picture. The wisdom that I have now to share with you through that many years is that your life is a picture. Your life is not writing a word. If your life is writing a word I need it just write more neat.

A

That's it say if I write really neat and then look at that, what is it it's inside the box if I have all the freedom to have all the letters in the air all these letters I have to follow the rule. If inside the box, I have to shifter that I first L I z, but remember your life is a picture. You have all the freedom you can control. You can create now watch this now.

A

It's a circle pretend it's a circle, no longer a box anymore, yeah five minutes I will get done. The whole thing only takes to one minute: that's good, because if you have that ability it doesn't take it too long. I don't have to watch rush. Okay, watch this I'm going to take the eye. Now, a lot of people already surprised why you did not start it with the Z. Now I have the earth with the water now I'm going to take the leaf, L and then I have a zigzag path.

A

Then I take the a this way. Why not and then I'll take the B? It's the music I. Take the e this way. Now you see the e I turn into a little bird and put this onto a tall bridge. I'll move the H to here. I made a little house. That's my life! If I'm a young lady, your life is just like that. It's all up to you. So now you go home, find all those letters. What are these letters 20 years of planning, make a long story. Very. Very short.

A

This is my life on Amazon I came from you, China, no money, no mommy daddy a little bit older than you I finished. Two colleges on scholarship become a teacher, but forget that this older man just saved my daughter, my daughter was born in this country did not born in China born in this country. I did not have a wife did not have a girlfriend, but I found a beautiful young lady just fortunately got married, but she was a pretty but no money same new immigrant and I had this little baby. What happened?

A

I did not know how three years old scared me to death that time we struggle, but by the time she was 40 years old accepted by UVA went to college at age 40 and she is a medical doctor today.

A

That's all my story to share with you. I don't have a lot of time, but to take a questions right.

B

A

Minutes anymore, for one two questions: yes,.

A

The box is the outside of the words. If you write really need a look at all those printed words it's inside a box and usually, if you want to write a really need you self-consciously, to put all those you probably build a box of first then you put there really neat nothing wrong with that. I was in 90% of people right and don't manage that unnecessary. Manage that as your life, nothing wrong with that. You really need life 90% over us. We do that, but I had the no luxury to do that.

A

I'll, give you a quick example. The D called them me say the Daniel, your English is so poor I think it's a good idea. You only take a two courses sociology in the religion, I told the ding audaciously I say. Excuse me, sir, that time if, according to you, take up two courses, it were took me 16 years and the scholarship will run out so I had to do to ps3 math some painting drawing in music to do these courses in order to buy some time for you to learn.

A

English then I put the reading courses later. That was a creative thinking, but everything is inside of this book. Okay, my life, it's inside of this book and if you are interested grab the information on my desk, you can go to Amazon to take a look all right. Thank you very much.

A

Just just to lock out to my email, so people will now get onto it just just a lock out. Thank you very much.

D

A

Just close the website I could think it's just a lock that out. Yes,.

E

When you spell out something to them that just really represent, do you really want to use a picture now? The way, for example, you spell out Elizabeth? Have you actually tried that type of thing before with the Chinese and pictures and as it actually worked, they actually being able to understand it? Well.

A

I had a Chinese background, therefore, I have advantage to turn. Elizabeth is a spelling world into a picture because the Chinese, the language, our pictorial, language right so totally different. A system of the in the alphabetical language, alphabetical languages we presented the sound, it's not necessarily say hey here is the move. Here is the Sun, and here is the dollar sign, or here is the candle light. We don't think like that. It's this is just a photo represented the sound, but the Chinese mind is more visual, so it is it they're learning.
