Whatever you do in life. Be on time. Doesn't matter what everyone else is doing. Be on time . Builds discipline.
I darn well almost lose my mind. I get to work 15-20 minutes early so I am ready, signed, made my coffee and ready to answer the phones at 9am. Meanwhile, my team turn up at 9:01 or 9:05. I’m already answering calls. A lot of them are habitually late to return from their lunch hour. I’m not the boss so I can’t say anything to them….but I know the boss notices
If you're not early, you're late.
Dependability is the number 1 thing on any job site. Competence is useless without dependability. No matter how much more experience other men around you have, if you’re always dependable and on time, it automatically puts you in a league above. It’s the easiest thing a young man can do. Show up, and show up on time.
Also call as soon as you realize you might be late, it’s miles ahead of just showing up.
I heard long ago from an old boy...if you're 15 minutes early you're on time, if you're on time you're late.
"I have lived in good times.
I have lived in poverty.
In all situations, I have learnt to live in contentment."
My grandpa raised me and had me pulling weeds at 5 years old , mowing at 8 years old and driving a tractor at 11.
I now own the largest landscape maintenance company in my county.

Greetings from Russia, Dewayne. Not only guys from the US and English-speaking countries are watching you. Your thoughts and advices don’t have any borders - it works everywhere. Thank you for influencing on men’s half of the world. You’re doing great!
With respect,
Alexander, 23 y.o, Moscow, RF.
Brazil here, too!
God bless you brother, I hope you and your family are safe.
Argentina here
Germany too :)
Singapore here!
Love your words dewayne. You have had a positive influence on this 26 year old young man over the past year
i like the vibes of his videos, old school!
I am a decade younger and I am glad I found this channel
I wish I had access to this channel when I was 16!!! Good on you!
Writers advice: "When you start writing, don't start with a blank page, think thoughts onto paper, then edit." You'll find if you truly have something to write, you've written most of it already in your head. The blank page can be daunting, but thoughts of truth, from a sound mind, flow like a river. Shalom Cowboy!
I think this is something I needed to hear. I have been wanting to get into writing, but I had found it difficult when it came to anything besides creating characters for D&D. Perhaps I'll keep writing material or a recorder (besides my phone) the next time I go on one of my walks where I think out loud.
As a 23 year old female, I didn’t have a strong father figure growing up apart from my older brother (who we jokingly nickname Clint Eastwood😆) Dwayne, these videos are gold. They’ve drastically helped develop my inner masculinity, and I think a lot of young women nowadays are yearning for a healthy masculine figure to help them build a strong foundation to withstand the trials and tribulations of life. Never mind chasing hedonism and figures like Andrew Tate. We need the voice of the Father while traversing the wilderness.
I’m an older female and value listening to this man. He enforces my belief that there are still good men in this world.
Yes! I’m 26 year old lady, and 100% agree. I’ve had to rely on myself a lot, and Dwayne has helped me so much as far as masculine guidance. Especially because many people in my life don’t really vibe with how I approach things. I guess integrity is lame 🤣. And by feeling some sort of support around the values I hold in these areas, I feel like I’ve also been able to embrace the feminine aspects of myself, as I see how important their role is too! He’s really the masculine figure that so many of us needed.
Yess.. 100%👏🏻👏🏻💌
very well said, young lady. We( both men and women) all need both an assertive, can-do type Mother and Father figure to learn from and emulate. I've often thought it was not enough to tell kids that it's important to both(m/f) contribute in and outside the home so they know this is how you maintain a healthy respect for your mate and your home; whether its men doing laundry or cooking or taking out the garbage I think its important for them(the kids to see it all).
All these chicks looking for daddy... And they always seem to end up with some abusive guy who beats on them. Y'all bring these "tribulations" on yourself by expecting some man to solve everything. Chasing after bad boys for the CHALLENGE of trying to make them into something they clearly aren't. What would you think of a guy who had a female role model show him how to get in touch with his softer side. Umm...ya. Crazy, right? You're doing the same thing, just the polar opposite. Like a moth to a flame.....chicks are addicted to drama. On a side note, if women made more effort to KEEP a good man around, then you wouldn't be without a daddy in the first place. But I digress. I'm sure everything wrong in the world is the fault of a man. smh
When my son was getting lippy with his Mom during his senior year in high school of course I put a stop to it and got him a summer job helping service septic systems in the southern Texas heat. Quitting was not an option.
He is grown with his own family now and has told me that's the best thing me and his Mom ever did for him.
Good talk Dewayne. Thank you.
@edreed8811 Installing septic systems is what I do every year for hundreds of customers… The work is hard and dirty but damn if it ain’t honest. The best part, as silly as it sounds is I feel the earth and the weather in a way most do not. I know Mother Earth in an intimate way from all of the digging I do and the time spent outside with Mother Nature through all seasons. Glad your boy got to experience it. Cheers mate.
How was quitting not an option? What was your plan if he refused?

That's a great quote to humble yourself "the universe was here way before" we will never be superior the universe and the Creator.
The fact that you've been able to mention just how many younger people are contacting you directly for advice on a wide array of important topics, and the fact that you have taken each opportunity to patiently spell out thorough explanations and personal wisdom to their benefit, is a wonderful thing to see. It really lends itself to helping me wake up every day, looking forward to being in this world and believing that things are getting better.
Young men and woman are learning about this economy everyday. Dwayne is a blessing to this platform.
The world is what we make it. I'm trying to make a better world by strengthening the bonds between my coworkers. Solidarity and community is what we need in this world.
Any generation after millennial is lazy. Hell, most millennials are lazy to begin with. I know several people in their 30's still living at home and their boomer parents allow it. I think the boomers spoiled their kids too much, and now every generation after that is doing the same. As I said in another comment, I tried paying a 15 year old (a friend's son) $120 for 6 hours of work moving wood and the lad stayed inside playing video games instead. I play games too, nothing wrong with that. But the fact is he would have rather leeched off his parents instead of making his own money.
@@AllergicFungus I like how this this broken-record "lazy damn kids" horseshit is the first thing I saw after waking up to go work 8 hours of overtime, on a Saturday, at the tail-end of my fifth straight 60 hour work week. I wouldn't want to move wood for you either, you miserable bastard.
Things will only get better if you make them better for yourself , god helps those who helps themselves is the saying . You don't need to believe in god . I think it's a great saying .
Bad parenting is emotional and psychological torture by mentally immature parents. It's not bad parenting to prepare them for life, it's not bad parenting to teach them discipline and emotional control. Thank you Dewayne, once again for these nuggets of wisdom.
Sorry to say but that's me through and through , my dad was insane and my mum was a teacher and I turned into a drug addict and alcoholic . I've done many jobs over the years , I can do more or less anything if I put my mind to it . Hard work sure does pay off tho . I kicked the drugs but I'm still addicted to the booze . Dads long gone now but mums still around shes old as fck . amazing really she had terminal cancer . The shit they put me through I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy .
Man, my parents didn’t teach me much to say the least. They enabled me and treated me like I was helpless.
Took me decades to realize I was in control.
@@HiGlowie Sorry to hear that , at least the old man tought me to hunt and build a bit also how to make booze and about electronics . Also I learnt how to kayak because of him and also music . He was a very smart man , but he was a fcking drunk .
Emotional neglect is insiduous. I'm just coming to in my 30s. @@HiGlowie
That’s why I think a lot of people find the lyrics in Her’s song “What Once Was.” “I bet their mother let them know what they’re about to face.” The singer grew up without her he died very young because of a drunk driver. Just have to be there for friends who have no one and offer support. 🤝
I'm 56 now. I started just as you discribe, but on beef and sheep farms in southern (temperate) Brazil. I got no payment, but I got the greatest value: chance, trust and experience. It made a strong base to build upon. We didn't even think of getting payed to learn. The opportunity to be around those who knew their onions was all we needed.
I’m 26 and working in construction for a little over five years before leaving to go into trucking. Was the best thing I ever did it made me physically strong. It taught me discipline it taught me how to hustle. I learned a lot of valuable life lessons over those years. I watched a lot of men come in and crumble when my boss would get on their ass about something . Now my boss was pretty nice compared to other dudes that I’ve met in the field. This one kid quit by telling me instead of my boss and then he started talking all this shit about my boss so I put him in his place. It didn’t get physical, but I won’t take people disrespecting somebody behind their back to my face.
I grew up without a father and my mother had a hard time raising and providing as a single parent. I don’t blame her for anything. I know she did her best. Needless to say I felt alone. Did a lot of growing up alone. Learning and figuring it all out alone. With that said, I want you to know
I appreciate your talks of wisdom and advice so much. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Same here my friend. I’ve learned many life lessons later than most and unfortunately the hard way. It’s ok though I’ve still faired better than many others who were raised with more. And I learned quickly to seek out people like Dwayne who are worth listening to
This man has taught me to appreciate the little things in life these days and just live a day at a time
Thank you Dwayne. If every parent would’ve parented like you did 20 years ago, we’d be in a different world a day. God bless.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I'm 59 I just enjoy here you talk and we have the same values good videos
I really wish this man was the President of the United States,and I wish everyone would hear and apply his wisdom on the regular. Thank you sir for the knowledge.
Coming from a 19 year old, I understand why people generalize generations, especially gen z, but there’s a reason for everything. I hear a lot of people trash talking gen z but they don’t understand how the parents and the teachers and media and culture are what’s causing it. They grew up in a totally different time I don’t think they understand the reality of what’s really going on.
Also, not all gen Z is what you see on the media. Lots of teenagers using technology to there advantage and getting ahead. There’s plenty that are all ready millionaires.
I myself started my own business when I was 16 detailing cars. I think that is what you should be telling kids to do. Knock on doors print some business cards and wash someone’s car for $20-40. Start learning how you can provide more value and get license and insurance and start charging more. I was AB honor roll all through school but it’s all a waste of time and programming in my opinion. College is a scam. Learn to provide value, have a good character and you’ll be fine.
A growing minority of younger Gen Zs are actually turning their back on tech and social media. It's a very interesting development. I wish we would do it as whole and reclaim our humanity from the Silicon Valley dweebs who hijacked it. I'm only on UA-cam now, nothing else. Seriously considering making my next phone a 'dumbphone' too.
It's not even that they don't understand, they don't WANT to understand. That would mean taking at least partial responsibility for it. "Children are a map of their parents," regardless of age.
I love and miss my grandma, she was a great storyteller like Dewayne.
She had a really hard and adventurous life from the beginning, had to live in a very harsh environment to learn in school, was a very hardworking, active person, had to raise 5 girls alone in a little mountain village after her husband died, had also very difficult relationship with him.
I was always very excited when she was telling one of her stories and I told her to write a book about all of it she also liked the idea but earlier this year she was diagnosed last stage stomach cancer and died soon. Dewayne really reminds me of her and I feel very calm and relaxed when I watch his videos. Thank you for that and wish you very beautiful life.
Dewayne, I highly recommend that young boys consider the Boy Scouts to learn about the outdoors. I owe a lot to Scouting and feel absolutely comfortable in the outdoors and finding my way in nature. There are a lot of dedicated men who mentor young boys and teach leadership skills. I’m an Eagle Scout and believe Scouting made me a better man and self sufficient adult in town and the wilderness.
My father passed when I was 11, and I feel like a big part of me is missing, like I’m missing a lot of information that he could have possibly told me, and it’s very confusing, not having a father figure in my life has affected me in so many negative ways, and I’m scared, I miss my father and I miss the things he could have taught me
"Leaves of Grass" by Walt Whitman is also an amazing book of poetry.
"To my other favorite W.W. It's an honour working with you. Fondly G.B."
Never a truer word said. At 17 I joined the Army, I was soft and unprepared, at times it was the worst experience of my (then) life. I wished my parents would of taught me these lessons. Thank you for passing these truths on Dwayne.
Love you man. The best therapist in the world
This was posted the day before my aunt died. I can’t explain how unprepared I was, how it broke all of my family. I can’t think without crying, she lived with us longer than my father who passed away when I was young.
I stayed with her the last 2 weeks of her life.
Before a reckless speed driver ended her whole life with one hit.
She passed in her place, she didn’t even flinch. My head hurts, my brain feels like it’s falling, like it’s shaking, I feel chocked and crying is so tiring.
My mom cries and everytime I see her it’s devastating.
Life is so short and ridiculous. Life is so stupid. Please never fight, please never make yourself unhappy for someone else.
Please pursue love and kindness, please please never let someone leave the house while you’re angry at them. Please never think a life problem is worth it.
There is nothing that could have prepared my family for such news.
We can be prepared for Armageddon itself, but never prepared for death when it robs.
I always watched your videos for comfort.
Can you help me? Can you tell me what takes away this feeling?
How can I go to school again? How can I get used to such tragedy?
What is there to do? Where do we go from here? Where do we go after greif?
I can empathize with you on this. It's still fresh for your family, so you have a lot of work ahead of you. The grief of loss never gets any less painful. But, unfortunately, death is a part of life. The older you get, the more you'll experience it. You just have to work through it in your own way. There is no "one size fits all" answer for dealing with loss. Just appreciate the memories you've shared and continue with life in a way that your aunt would be proud of. When I lost my mother, very suddenly, the pain felt unbearable for quite some time. But, I realized my mother would want me to keep living my life in a way that would've made her proud (if she was still here). At times, I make decisions and I can feel her presence. Maybe not literally, but in my heart. Work through your pain and continue to grow as a person. You have my deepest condolences.
from a 66 year old whose lost both Parents and had a challenging time getting along with an emotionally depressed and often manic Mom. What you've written suggests you've learned quite a lot and matured relationally from someone(quite possibly your aunt). I can understand the level of pain you have felt and are likely to feel in the future because of your emotional closeness to your aunt, but know this: that the pain (of a "hollow ache") you have been experiencing will gradually diminish over time and by seeking to honor your aunt by dovetailing your interests and hers I am willing to bet you can make any hard memories you had of her a whole lot more bittersweet.
And bittersweet memories and experiences this side of heaven are the best I believe we as humans can hope for.
Best Wishes in your future endeavors.
No better way to start a Saturday morning than to listen to you Dewayne. Set me up for the weekend. Best wishes from here in Norway.
everytime I sit down to listen to this channel, I pull out my grandpa's old hand made pipe -my most prized possession, and dangle it with my teeth the way he did.
If I've ever felt a connection to someone in my life who has passed, I felt it here.

@@JonGardner omg how did I mess that up, one of my fav movies
I'm 61 now. As a kid I was always working after school and weekends. Splitting wood for people , washing cars,, cut grass, carry shingles for a roofer in the neighborhood, paint a shed, work on lawnmowers for people. I always had pocket money and when I went to work full time I was pretty handy at a young age.
Good points you mention!
Dwayne, thank you sir. You have helped many folks including myself in times of peril and confusion. As a young man some old fashioned hard earned wisdom from an older man is much needed in this convoluted modern world.
A few years ago I was depressed and alone. Now I’m out here ranching in the Alberta Rockies, sitting on the Athabaska river with a mountainside view enjoying a whisky with the horse and dog after a long day.
Seeing his videos i realised a few things. Old school, means step by step, taking your time, don't rush. In modern days everything we do we do in a rush. Like we are rushing towards death. In stillness we will find our center. These times only show us that we may have the power to rush, but it is necessary?. Next time someone tells me i am old school and i am only 35, i'll respond with: good luck when your last bill comes.
Swim coach from Australia here - your videos are invaluable as a resource for young teenagers struggling with maturity, my squad watches you religiously now! Thankyou.
Dewayne, you made me laugh. This reminded me of conversations my dad would have with me when I was a teenager. He would periodically get me what he called ‘experience jobs.’ One was planting trees after forest fires the other was building fence on my uncles ranch… by myself. I learned two things. Don’t buck up on my dad. Second was, hard work made me a better person. Keep it up. I love listening because it reminds me of sitting around on the porch listening to the old cowboys talk about life.
I’m 18 Japanese uni student.There is few people around me who travel the world solo, but I realized it’s what I love through my first solo travel to Vietnam. It charged me a lot. I keep going and being myself🧘🏼♀️🤍
Excellent advice. Most jobs I had when I was younger was going to places asking for a job, they say "we dont really need anyone" and I would tell them Ill grab a broom and start sweeping which usually landed me the job after. I went to college, it was great to get a foothold with science but I think not EVERY person needs to go to college. If you want to pursue a job that's different from the standards, definitely go to college.
God bless you dwayne
I have been a finish carpenter for 20 years now. Wish someone would come clean up my jobs. I usually end up doing it just because I hate a messy job😂😂
These videos are amazing to all who find solace here, it's a proverbial camp fire of knowledge.
TRUTH!!! Real-life principles aren’t learned by a “hack”. They are absorbed over time through perseverance.
Sounds weird unless you've done it but the process or act of reading some books is pleasurable in and of itself. Apart from reading the story, just absorbing the words is soothing and pleasurable. Moby Dick is one of my examples. Sounds strange I know but it's true for me anyway.

When did you go from feeling like a boy to a confident fearless man? I’m 22 and I feel like a scared little boy way more than I should sometimes. Even if I hide it. But I want to not hide anything I want to evolve and feel more secure.
The thoughts of weakness leave last, until then you just have to keep pushing forward. Even if you're afraid.
I smarted off to my dad when I was 5 and i he tore my butt up and i never back talked him again 😂😂😂😂 love that man
To all my fellow young men, if you’re here you’re on the right track. Hang in there guys.
I was 18 years old and put myself on a roofing jobsite. most brutal work ive ever experience but loved it and learnt alot
Sir, I love to start my fire with a cup of coffee & Light a good cigar and share my here and now moment with you. Thank you to be you 🌞
I'm not 17, from back east, or wanting anything to do with horses. But the things you talk about ring true with folks all over and that's the value in it. I was in the military and now I work in management in IT for a school. I can't tell you how advantageous it's been to stop and ask myself, "what would Dewayne do?", ESPECIALLY because I'm the only one doing that. The average IT person has a certain way of going about things, and when they get shaken, they get shaken good. Being the person to stop and have a cooler head in those situations is huge. It's been an important asset for me. It also helps to have that humility because not everyone has had the same experiences. I've been through a lot of unpleasant and stressful situations, and so when a project doesn't go my way it's easy to think "at least my hands aren't starting to get frostbite". Not everyone has that. Some folks have never been camping, lost a sports game, missed a meal, or whatever. So it's always good to be the one with a cool head and a sense of direction.
I was single mom most my childrens lifes and I have 4 boys now 16 17 18 23 my oldest is serving overseas in military and I retired a few years ago from military and now 40 and have a farm. I got married to a good man like yourself 5 yeara ago. All this to say how much I appreciate everything you do and say because I knew as a woman I couldn't teach my sons what they needed to learn from a man and especially father figure. I never had men in my boys lives other than few football coaches who ever spoke to them or took interest. It means so much to mothers to have male role models and mentors in our sons lives and especially someone who is like how we are and way taught. I grew up with grandparents and great grandparents and even great great grandparents and big extended family and have none left and its what I believe wrong with lot of young people by not having older people who teach you and that respect that was natural in our elders we just had. Thank you for being here as maybe only man or real man these young men have to listen to or learn from or look up to. My husband is just like you in many ways and grew up like I did and thankfully is the hardest working man Ive known. Very old fashioned as I am which is hard with kids these days. I have been homeschooling the youngest and last in school as schools today arent teaching them anything and filling them with things to go against how raised and morally corrupt. I grew up and barrel raced and 1st jobs in western stores around cowboys. I have been considered strict parent and didn't do electronics or cell phones or anything but now older and 3 out of house the bad influences have been so hard for them and us. Having kids pull away from you and way rasied has been heartbreaking but understand its life and have to figure it out and even fail to learn. We just pray have taught them well enough that they will remember or use that . Ive been talking to them about people and life and world since little. One has chosen university but I'm not particularly happy because of things you mentioned and not what it was when I was in nor is military anymore. I work and teach young soilders and glad not who I went to war with . My husband is very talented and in trades and very successful and push boys to go route he did. He has done lot of things and all helped teach him lot of skills. Our farm and life here in south east isnt same as the ranches I was on out west. Teaching my kids hard work and responsibility has been something I am happy and proud of. I have loved listening to you for a while now and glad that you have young people listening and reaching out. I cant wait for your book to come out and will be looking for it. Degrees mean nothing but being a life long learner and reading has always served me well. God bless.
Always grateful for your wisdom.
Being an older man, Your words are truth. Life is a building block. Life experiences is your guide/ teacher. Take care Dwayne. Thanks.
You are 💯 correct about kids working. I started at 14 and have never stopped. My daughter started when she was 16 doesn’t grasp the concept of dealing with people you don’t like as well. I’m guilty of being too soft as well but I know the importance of teaching her the lessons of a hard days work. I certain appreciation comes along with it. Not to mention strength.
The guy fixing up our house has worked since he was old enough to rake leaves. Hauled 5 gallon buckets of dead chickens at age 12. Busted his azz and bought his first house at 21. He just turned 30. Proof that not all young people are lazy and entitled!
Relationships are important. I heard that and didn't disregard it but didnt take it seriously at the time. Everything comes from somewhere. People have disagreements. But nobody starts from a hateful relationship. You never know what is circling around the corner. Just be strong. Be Strong and keep going. Nothing is fair. I hope someone picks it up before i did.
If I can make a request, could you cover how to deal with and if there's any shame in having a mental illness? It's pretty stigmatized in men's circles even though men off themselves more than women. A positive message about addressing mental illnesses would be helpful to the young men in your audience.
Mister I love your videos too much it’s giving some hope
That is true
Spot on. (Im the same age as Dewayne.) Listen to this advice. Having spent 30 yrs in manufacturing, the work ethic and personal development advice is absolute truth.
My 22 year old son said “YOU WATCH DRY CREEK WRANGLER!?”😂 apparently he’s been watching you for a couple months. He’s says you’re going viral. 😂great video 👏
Thank you D’Wayne for this wonderful video!!
Reminds me of an old book called “Why A Students Work for C Students and B Students Work for the Government” by Robert Kiyosaki.
Beautiful words Dwayne. Young men need to listen!!!!
Nearly spat out my drink!
"Different face, name, country, but they're the same character. And you'll be like I know what this is..."
So true and funny haha! Brilliant video, thanks once more mister, God bless!
Another nice talk, Cowboy Mr Rodgers. 🤠
The old squeeky chair makes this video. Reminds me of my 88 year old wheat farmer neighbor. He has the same chair he sits in while telling old stories and sipping on whiskey
Can't wait for the book. This guy is a treasure.
Man, Dewayne- I dont always agree with every take you have, these last two episodes are just gold. You are doing such a service in this one to young people...saying with respect and being incredibly realistic on how a myriad of experiences can add to what you are as a whole and how they get you there. Well done sir!
Dewayne, if you were to read Longfellow in your signature firm-yet-gentle, charming voice, and play it over videos of your horses and the backcountry out by you, it would be enjoyed by many people. Most folks just arent exposed to poetry anymore, and its a crying shame. I memorized entire poems of Longfellow in grade school, and it shaped my perspective of the world. I know youre plenty busy with everything else but I just thought Id put that bug in your ear...
Dewayne strikes me as an old Wild West version of Jordan Peterson- GO CLEAN YOUR STALL! 😂❤
My dad always told me that a strong mind, a strong arm, and a strong heart make a strong man
I’m going to check out y’all’s biscuit episode!
I just found you the other day and I really enjoy listening to your outlook on life.
You can tell that the King James Bible is a major influence in your life. God Bless you!

Im a 22 year old young man from Cashel, Tipperary Ireland. Going to get me some tobacco, coffee and a notpad as i listen to this w
Mans wisdom. Blessings recieved.
As a 25yo, I completely agree with all of this. I didn't know jack squat at 19 or even 21 and I still don't but I sure in the hell have learned a lot in the past 7 years to tell me I wasn't anything. Especially this year finally finishing college, the death of my girlfriend, and starting my career, I have learn a lot and have a lot to work on.
Appreciate you taking the time to shed some wisdom with us again Dewayne, I wish you well partner.
I think the biggest thing about college is that it’s a glorified scam in many ways. Besides the sciences, medicine and law there is honestly no point in my opinion. It just puts you in lifelong debt, Robs you of 4 years that could otherwise be spent doing as you said, gaining experience. Me and my wife were just speaking how we’d actually prefer our kids NOT to go to college and instead learn a trade and gain life skills. Was cool to see you talk on that in this video. Especially the additional problems of college indoctrination, group think and how most kids come out with this inflated ego and thinking they absolutely know everything when in reality. They don’t.
Dwayne thanks for sharing your thoughts and philosophy with us. Your videos motivate me to be a better person
Thanks, and I can say Amen! my dad instilled in us boys at a young age to work and I’ll be forever grateful, farming, construction, sawmill, you name it we did it,
Well said no matter how old or young life is a journey and what is put in is what makes the man and what and how much you will grow or not god bless and thank you for sharing this
Indeed. It's hard these days to find high school or college graduates who will stick with a job and finish it. Once the interesting stuff is done, they want to go home. It's lack of life experience, which just leaves me shaking my head.
I am advising my grandson to listen to you since he is graduating from high school and is uncertain about his future. Thanks for your advice and example.
The universe has been here way longer...
I Love It !! Always here for a nice lesson..

Nature
As a fond mother, when the day is o’er,
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to be led,
And leave his broken playthings on the floor,
Still gazing at them through the open door,
Nor wholly reassured and comforted
By promises of others in their stead,
Which, though more splendid, may not please him more;
So Nature deals with us, and takes away
Our playthings one by one, and by the hand
Leads us to rest so gently, that we go
Scarce knowing if we wish to go or stay,
Being too full of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the what we know.
If only I had someone in my life to tell me things like this, everything would be different, thank you for being that person for many other people.
Wow you talk about awe inspiring speech! I am 58 and work at the largest online marketplace warehouse. Most jobs at my warehouse is mostly physical. We need people for the holiday season and I am shocked and dismayed at what young people will do. I have got to say this year we have a lots that need a stronger work ethic. If phones were money they would be multi millionaires. These young people need guidance along with discipline every action has a reaction. We’ll have a good day and always be safe and thankful for everything and everyone in your life.
muscle memory also as a metaphor no we don't store memory in our muscles but instead of thinking about it we get a habitual exercise down that is easier and faster as we calibrate ourselves towards being better than a day one would be used to.
Hello, I like listening to you talk in the mornings because it brings me wisdom and calms me down. You say a lot of important stuff that's not talked about enough! I'm 24 yr old woman from Germany, not at all going into your kind of lifestyle and yet it resonates. I agree that young people need to be prepared for what's to come (chickenpox,...) and for sure the school ain't doing it.. though telling young people "that was a stupid thing to do" multiple times could potentially lead to trauma, especially coming from a person they're close to. Just like to add that! Have a good day!
I will buy your book and hope there's an audiobook with you as the narrator. Love your voice and style.
This man’s wisdom is a treasure
This may be your most important and needed video that you have made. Thank you.
As a library worker I look forward to adding your book to our collection.
I'd also like to add - your school or public city/county library has got plenty of books, audiobooks, and other resources on horses, horsemanship, animal husbandry, agriculture, plant science, and first aid - all for FREE, and all mostly in the same section of shelves. It's a great way to get background knowledge that will come in handy down the line.
Dewayne, thank you for your content. it really hits home.
Hope and Helps For Your Nerves is the second most important book I've ever read. It's from the 1970s. It's simple and yet surprisingly applicable even today.
I tell you what.... when I was waiting for the job I WANTED, I took a job I didn't, while I waited for that phone call. I told the boss up front. " I 'm waiting to hear from such n such, but I need a job now." He was "cool" with that. Meanwhile, I learned a lot from the experience I gained while working at that job. I learned to APPREICATE what actually went into do that job, that I had no idea about before. EVERY job I have had, from cleaning tables to caring for the elderly, taught me something and prepared me for the NEXT job, which led ot my final job before I retied. Mistakes and all, I looked at the experienced i gained as invaluable.
Thank you for your words, and thank you to all Vetrians who are reading this. Without you, this video wouldn't exist. 🇺🇸🙏
Thanks Dwayne, iam 67, an iam learning a lot from you
When i was younger, i never thought i would be a stern parent. But now that I've been one for 15 years, i couldn't even imagine raising my girls all soft and as a push over. Kids NEED boundaries, discipline, the occasional swift kick in the ass, AND love and support. I keep my girls in line, and they tell me they love me every day. Not a bad trade off.
Thanks Dwayne always have my morning coffee seein your videos.
To all the folks here, the art o war is an amazing book to carry everwhere cuz is a small one, but if you ask me what to read that is nice, go save some spare change and buy all of Tolkien's book, all are amazing but if you want to wake up you're sense of adventure, read as many mane times posibles The Hobbit, ohh good lord, since i read it i want to get old and live like Bilbo.
Don't be slave of your phone, buy a nice analog watch, and start to get a discipline to watch it and ask yourself what can i do every 10 minutes.
I ordered one of the armored tumbled brass lighters a couple weeks ago, and got it pretty quick. Fits the Zippo pipe lighter insert perfectly, which is no surprise. As stated, it's a little heavier than standard zippo. They came out really nicely.
“It’s a metaphor stop being a smart ass” this man is my hero.
love these videos, helps knock me back to the earth. What a treasure Dewayne is for young men
Thank you for this episode and all of the episodes! May God continue to bless you and your family!
Ive never met a cop that doesnt think he or she deserves immediate respect and transparency. Lots of cops will try to abuse your rights. Why should we have to impress them or a judge? They can convict or charge someone based on the law, not whether they make a good impression on them.
You missed the entire point.
Feels like your making the world a wonderful place to be, thank you 💖
