so i was just telling the guys that i was jotting down some notes on a big yellow paper those were the old yellow pads my father who was a cpa he used to use these old yellow pads when they were finally replaced by laptops by computers but in the olden days the accountants the cpas used to write out everything by hand until obviously the computers came along and today they just punched an information and it does everything i had this big white yellow pad and i was writing down the notes of a few thoughts i wanted to share tonight and then i realized i can't find my keys so i'm running around the house looking for the keys and i got so worked up and i called my wife where are the keys finally i find the keys outside in the car so i just jump in the car because i'm late because i don't want to ruin my reputation of coming on time and i came running down here and as i'm walking into the school i realized oh my gosh on that whole craziness of looking for the keys i forgot my notes of the class at home and i know why i know why the et cetera wanted it to happen this way because anytime i go out to give a class along the lines of what you're about to hear tonight and if i would have to give a title to this class it would be the art of war sun tzu no this is the art of war tonight i want to talk about the war against the yetzerhara the war against addictions the war against what we're going up against the streets society social media and the breakdown of morality
