Morning.

Dwayne here, Dry Creek Wrangler School.

Let me ask you a question.

At what age should you have it all together?

At what age should you have it all figured out?

I get a lot of mostly young men on the channel, and they're from 17 to 35, 36, 39,

and they lament that they're at a place in their life and they don't have it figured out, and they don't have it all together.

and they wonder what's wrong with them because they don't have it figured out.

They don't have it all together.

Of course you don't have it all together.

You're not supposed to have it all together.

You're not expected to have it all together.

Anybody looks at you at 26, 27, 28 years old and says, hey man, what's wrong with you?

How come you don't have everything figured out?

They're a fool.

Knowledge and experience and wisdom takes time.

Wisdom comes from experience, and experience takes time.

The more experience you have, the more you learn from that experience, the wiser you can get.

If you haven't lived long enough to have a broad enough portfolio of experience, then you can't expect to have knowledge and wisdom.

We are told by society today, and it's inferred by movies and television programs,

that by the time you're 26 or 27, you should be graduated from college, you should have a degree, you should have a good job, you should have a wife, and you should have it together.

We watch these programs, and this movie, it's an hour and a half long, And within an hour and a half, a person goes from a goofed up teenager to someone who's just settled and got it all going on.

And they get the job.

They put their childhood bully in his place.

They get the girl.

Fade to black.

And we're left to imagine the rest of their life.

And what we imagine is left with the last thing that we see.

Man, they got it together.

Of course, we don't consider the fact that if you turn the TV off and watch the news, you'll see those same actors show up in the news again and again making stupid mistakes and they ain't got it together.

A pine tree grows and matures very fast.

An oak tree grows and matures very, very slow.

But which one lasts longer?

And which one is stronger?

Which one shelters more critters and more birds?

Which one, when it's done and over and it's cut down, which one is more valuable for the lumber?

People don't go out and say, I'm gonna spend extra money for some pine furniture.

They want oak furniture.

Um, there's a lot of sentiment expressed on the channel.

Um, boy, Duane, I sure wish, I wished you'd have been my dad.

No, you don't.

Um, no, you don't.

Um, there's sentiments expressed on there, expressed on there, um, that, you know, I'm flattered.

I'm flattered, but I know better.

I don't take it serious.

Nobody bursts from their mother's womb ready for the world.

Nobody bursts from their mother's womb aged and mature and wise.

And I'm not wise.

I'm not saying I'm wise.

I just say that happened.

That's why that happened.

So man, maybe we ought not do that.

I don't know.

To me, that's a kind of a, a shallow, easy definition of wisdom,

but I I'm 55 years old and I'm just now starting to get a little bit figured out.

there's a a song that ian tyson sings and if you like cowboy music and you're not familiar with ian tyson you

ought to look him up but he's got a song called the old double diamond and it's about an old cowboy

that the ranch he's worked on for years is getting sold and there's a a uh and he He says on there,

he said, when I first hired on to the old double diamond, I was a darn poor excuse for a man.

Yeah.

Mama's laughing back there.

I edited that for you.

It says, I never learned how to aim when the spirit was tame.

I couldn't see all the cards in my hand.

Well, son, a lot of what your difficulty is right now is you have not yet learned how to aim.

while the spirit is tame and you can't see all the cards in your hand it's not saying the cards aren't there

it's just you haven't matured enough to see them and there will come a time you keep going and you keep learning and you

keep growing uh that one day you'll look down and the card you needed was there and it's been there all along but that ain't gonna come for a while

and my encouragement to you is stop being so hard on yourself you know one of the

things i have um encouraged my wife in for years and she's a

very natural mother all right and she has a natural tendency to take

care of people and to worry about stuff and i've had to tell her over the years, look, that's not your burden to carry.

That's not your burden to carry.

You have enough burdens at your young age that are rightfully yours for you

to worry about carrying that you don't need to worry about carrying the burdens that are going to come when you're 50 or 55 or 60.

You can't even begin to think about having things figured out and having it together until you're in your 50s.

Just don't even worry about it.

You've got to have maturity.

And maturity comes with time.

And maturity is not something that you can gin up artificially.

is not something that you can be responsible for, for not being ginned up artificially.

You don't even know what I have to do.

You have to live.

You just have to live.

You just have to act your age.

If you're 26, be 26.

Stop trying to be 56.

It's not expected, and it's a burden that you don't have to carry.

You're a young couple, and you're going through some things, and you're like, man, we must be the worst couple in the world.

We must be the worst um

married folks out there this has got to be man we just ain't got it of course you ain't got it figured out when you hit 30

you still ain't 30 years of marriage you still ain't gonna have it all figured out my wife and I are still trying to figure stuff out

um and we just take it as it comes and we learn and we mature and we grow and it takes time but you'll not get there if you quit

fellas you'll not get there if you quit if you just say forget it you know i just i can't be the man that i wanted

to be well of course you're not right now you will not be the man that you want to be until you grow into it you have to grow into it so the whole point of this video

is just to encourage you, chill out, man.

Just chill.

100

You guys that are contacting me and saying, man, I got a degree and I just lost this job.

101

Listen, and I'm not making light of it, okay?

102

Let me just put it in perspective, all right?

103

I've got five grandbabies.

104

Now, one of those grandbabies is,

105

let's say that grandbaby is 14 months old and they're learning to walk okay and so they're kind of they're just in a diaper you've seen

106

it you know they're just in the diaper and they're going across the kitchen floor to mama and they're kind of weaving a little bit and

107

that their little fat feet and their little fat thighs are just kind of thunk thunk thunk and all of a sudden

108

they're like oh oh and they got the bubble butt out here the bubble stubby tummy out here and they got the big old diaper in the back so they're not balanced

109

all right and so they lose their balance and they're like oh oh oh bam and they fall down and land flat on their butt

110

and they look shocked and they look surprised and then their face screws up and they start crying bloody murder

111

that's the worst thing that has ever happened to them in their life it's like it's like a disaster of apocalyptic proportions because it's all they've ever known

112

and you've just gone through a breakup and it's the worst thing you've ever been through and

113

it's a disaster of apocalyptic proportions because you haven't had the time and the experience yet to develop

114

worse and to turn around and look at that in relation to the realities of a long life well lived and one day you're going to try and look back and you're going to say

115

that really wasn't such a disaster and in fact that was probably the best thing ever happened to me some of you

116

you lost your job and you thought that job was it and it was a good paying job and you went four years

117

of college in order to get the degree to get that job then you got the job and then COVID happened and or layoffs and different stuff and now all of a sudden you lost that job.

118

It's the worst thing you've ever been through.

119

And so all of a sudden you're sitting there and you're thinking, man, I thought my life was together.

120

Now it's in shambles at my feet.

121

No, it's not.

122

No, it's not.

123

It's not.

124

It's all right.

125

It's all right.

126

You're not supposed to have it together.

127

All right.

128

Those who go to college, get out of college, get a job and stay in that job until they retire, then retire and buy property down in Florida.

129

That's an anomaly.

130

That's not normal.

131

It happens, but it's an anomaly.

132

Uh, and, uh, and most of those people, you know, they might be really good people, but they ain't got cool stories to tell and you don't get wisdom.

133

You don't get wisdom past a certain point by living that life.

134

Okay?

135

So,

136

two or three years ago i uh i made a whole series of really really bad decisions

137

really bad decisions um and uh and it brought me to the point at 50 over 50 over 50 where i was like

138

I ain't got it together.

139

I'm not mature.

140

I'm not grown.

141

I'm not the man I'm supposed to be.

142

And I started working on it.

143

And the man that I am today, the father that I would be today, if children were to come along today, that's not the man I was before.

144

And that's not the father I could have been before.

145

Okay?

146

A blade does not become strong.

147

It does not become tempered.

148

until it's been through the fire.

149

Until it's been through the fire several times.

150

And this is just your first or second time through the fire.

151

And there's a lot of hammer work that has to take place.

152

And then you're going to have to go back in the forge again.

153

And it's hot.

154

And it melts you down.

155

And you're uncomfortable.

156

And then life is going to pull you out.

157

And it's going to put you on anvil.

158

And it's going to hammer on you some more.

159

And you're going to say, well, am I done yet?

160

Am I sword for the ages?

161

Uh, no.

162

No, you're not.

163

You're not done yet.

164

Alright?

165

So just chill.

166

Just chill.

167

Continue to have fun.

168

Now, by fun, I'm not recommending you go out, drink your brains out at the bar and do something stupid, but my goodness, go hunting, go fishing, get a mountain bike, go hiking, go to the gym,

169

go hang out around a barbecue fire with friends and just act silly and act goofy and be your age.

170

Be your age and just embrace the process.

171

And don't look for what you are supposed to be fully, completely polished, sharpened, edged, tempered at 26 or 36 at 46.

172

You've got a lot more forge time left.

173

you've got a lot more hammer blows left.

174

And it takes time.

175

But if you will patiently embrace the process, then by the time you get up in years, you can be a man that you're proud of.

176

Okay?

177

So this is just an encouragement to just chill out.

178

Just chill out.

179

Embrace the process.

180

You say, Duane, what process?

181

Life.

182

life.

183

Embrace the journey and the process of life.

184

You only get stronger hiking by going uphill.

185

Nobody gets stronger hiking by just going downhill.

186

Alright?

187

Alright.

188

I'm going to get in trouble here if I don't do this.

189

Eric Stockaby, fourth generation and Aberrant.

190

This is my first 10 of this and it's actually Rustica,

191

which is a very old tobacco and it's a pretty heavyweight tobacco mixed with Sweet Virginia and a little bit of Darkfire Kentucky, which I'm very fond of.

192

It's a very robust, very interesting, very flavorful mixture.

193

But if you are a, what's the word I want?

194

Aromatic smoker, it's probably not going to be for you.

195

But that's what we got going on here.

196

So, again, guys and gals, just hang in there.

197

I'm rooting for you.

198

and we'll catch you guys next time.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
