Why are these questions so stupid
Haha I know I kinda get tired of them. But they just help to spark conversation. They are trying to generate as much data as possible.
Yea! They need better
Can you think of any better ones?
What was for dinnerolz Dinner*
Haha Dinner was chicken pot pie today.
Homemade?
It was just a one from the store though. We didn't make it homemade because we were lazy today. But the hommade ones are way better.
Oh? What's did titoy get ghem?
What? I think you were typing to fast.
Where?
Oh haha we got them at Winco I think. Thats where we always go shopping.
Oh, was it frozen
Yeah it was frozen. So like it wasn't the best dinner. I know we are bad examples. But it's been a crazy week. Usually we are not like this. Usually we plan and have homecooked meals all the time. Next week we will start again haha. What did you guys make for dinner?
Wow, I lost the respect from my hero's! Haha joke. Doesn't matter, haha. Frozen  pie is bomb! Coming from Asians who don't know how to make them haha We had Korean noodles!
Oooo ouch haha just kidding! We will get back on the wagon soon! Ahhh I love those Korean noodles where do you guys get them?
Haha. I was messing! Asian markets have all sorts
Oh yeah we need to go to the Asian market more. .They have really good food. Asians just know how to put more flavor into food that us Americans. We could learn a thing or two from you.
Hmm, yeah. Asian spices can be very good and flavorful But I just like my burgers and steak
Seriously! Way better than American Spices! All we have is Ketchup. Yeah Burgers and Steak are the bomb. What is your favorite steak place that you've been to?
Ruth's Chris In pArk city
Oh sweet. I've heard good things about that place. What makes it so good?
My fav restaurant
We need to go sometime!
It's so expensive though.
Really like how expensive for a plate?
Loan and I spent almost 300 dollars there for the two of us
No way. Thats crazy. I've never heard of a restaurant that is so expensive. Was it worth it?
Yeah. It was so good! Definitely worth it for special dinners but maybe once or twice
Yeah like for a really special occasion, like an anniversary dinner. Because that is a lot of money to spend on food. That is like our grocery bill for two months haha.
I had a steak and lobster. My steak was like 2 lbs. best steak ever! It literally is so juicy and melts in my mouth
two pounds!? How did you eat that much? That is like eating a baby cow.
Yeah, we went for our anniversary
But yeah I can imagine that it would be super buttery and delicious and melts in your mouth.
Bro, I throw down! Hah. I finished that and my lobster and the 4 cheese potatoes with the best cheese cake ever They age the steak for months with special seasoning and butter before cooking g it
wow that sounds like a crazy meal. What are you serious? That is intense.
Yea. It was the best steak
That sounds awesome. The best steak I had was at the Melting Pot in salk lake. Salt Lake. It was a Fillet Mingon and you cook it in this really flavorful broth and it melts in your mouth with so much flavor.
What made it good? And how much? And big? I need some steak now!
Yeah it was so good! So it's like $50 per person and you get a lot of food but probably not as much as Ruth's Chris. But you get Cheese Fondue and then you get all the meats, and then they bring you this chocolate fondue with tons of stuff to dip in it. I know we need some steak haha!
That sounds bomb! Man, I need steak bad! Haha!
Yeah dude! Did you go to the gym tonight? That would explain why you are hungry.
No, loan wasn't feeling to great so I stayed home and hung out with her
Oh that is good. I'm sorry she isn't feeling well. Did you finish all your homework ?
Thanks. No, haha I just realized I forgot to do one that was due earlier today. Haha! Ugh! I'm so tired of homework
I know man I hate homework it's so dumb. But yeah I guess that it is supposed to help you get better grades. But grades are so overrated.
They really are! Good grades are only gonna help me maybe get a better 9-5 job working from someone else. It's. It gonna help me be a millionaire Not*
Yeah seriously. The education system is so broken. It teaches you to work alone and to follow all the rules and basically trains you to be an employee. But yeah if you want to be successful you have to work with other people (something that the schools call cheating) and be creative.
It really is! There isn't a single job that makes you work alone!
Seriously!
Exactly!!!! Wow, you make too much sense!
So like I dont' understand why the schools are messing people up and charging money for it.
Dang!!! That is good and powerful! Haha
Haha yeah seriously! The schools teach you to ask how, but in life you need to learn how to ask who.
I understand the money part but not why we Are still taking tests that doesn't help us in real life
Yeah totally. The tests dont help us at all. No one pays you to take a test. They pay you to solve problems.
With other people! Exactly
Yeah totally.
Yea. Ugh I hate it!!!!!
I think that schools should be more group oriented and focus on doing project together instead of just learning how to take a test. Because like the most common question is "what do we need to know for the test." But really we should be asking what do we need to learn for life? ALso you learn a lot of things that have already been solved. We need to be learning things that haven't been solved yet so that we can go and contribute to solving them.
ExActly! And tests can be okay if it's not worth 70% of our grade. That should be on group projects
Yeah seriously. Test should be to learn what we need to improve on, not to dictate our performance.
Exactly! Working to solve problems with others is how it should be done.! Make that worth 70% Exactly! Gosh I hate school!!
yeah seriously. Haha I dont like it sometimes either. But I have to go for so many years to become an orthodontist
My tests determine "if I'm smart" and that is depressing and a confident killer when I know I can solve problems better than the next guy! It's so dumb.
Yeah seriously! Plus in real life you dont have to have everything memorized. You just need to be able to work with people and do your research and then Apply the information.
Exactly! Wow, school is basically just a business! It teaches false and inefficient worke experience and the. They charge 6 figures
How much longer do you have in school?
I think til end of next year
Yeah seriously it is a buisines! Okay so you are getting pretty close! Thats awesome!
I'm ready to drop out now! Haha
Haha well do you even need a degree for what you want to do? Because you want to do real estate and own companies right? You can do that without a degree. But I'm not saying you should drop out, I'm just asking why you are in school if you dont want to do it?
Right. It is just for a back up.
Oh I see. That makes sense. Well it's always good to have a backup!
Yeah, but it sucks
I wonder what I would do as a backup if We dont get into dental school. I would probably work and save money and then reapply the next year. The only probably is that it would be a ton of money to reapply.
Is that a a high chance?
But some people reapply like 3 times before they get in
How much?
It's not a super high chance.
Wow, I didn't know that's a thing
It's like 2k - 3 grand to apply depending on how many schools you apply to.
Whoa!
Yeah haha it is a thing. It would be really hard especially after putting in all that work to get in and take the tests.
Dang. That sucks. That's competitive
yeah it is very competitive. A lot of people want to go into debt to be doctors. I just wish it wasn't so much money.
dang, some people can go through school without a complaint, and those people are great employees. But for us, we see that it isn't worth it in the end. Makes me think
Yeah. Totally. I wish there was a way to be an orthodontist without school. like just learning from someone else. That would be the life. But school is important in my case because you are going to be working on people's bodies and mouths and you dont want to mess up.
It really is! That is true. And you gotta know all of that stuff. I can see why it's good odor dr and lawyers...
Yeah. And it really is a good job once you get there and you can make a good living and help a lot of people. But I would never want to work in a hospital. There is far too much Bureaucracy.
Like how?
Well there are just a lot of rules and laws right now that are restrictive.
Sht are some examples What
LIke you have to follow all these laws and they mostly just care about money and not about helping the patient get what they actually need.
What's an example?
So for example, if I go to the doctor with a problem that is caused by me being lazy and not eating healthy foods, then they will give me medicine to help me but they wont act actually teach me about how to eat healthy and change my lifestyle to treat the cause of the illness. They just want to put a mask on it.
Oh, I got ya! Yeah, that makes sense
They want to sell the drugs that the Pharmaceutical company gives to them.
Yeah, money is the driver
Unfortunately. My teacher said that the health care system is like putting more ambulances at the bottom of a cliff when people drive off. But that a better way is just to build a new road that doesn't go close to the cliff.
Yeah. I mean, I'm driven by money and success... but I know that school for me isn't gonna make me millions! I'm just doing it just to say I've done it Wow, that is a great comparison
yeah totally! What do you think drives people besides money? Because a lot of people are driven by money but then they dont have the courage of the determination to keep going because money isn't that strong of a motivator. I think those that are driven by a cause or a purpose go much further.
That is true. I think it's success. People want to succeed and to me, I think the people who are the most successful has that goal of being successful. People say they are
Yeah I see that.
Doing it for a cause isn't fully doing it for that. They say that more cuz it brings in more money
Oh haha they just are using it as marketing.
Selfishness is stronger than selfless causes
I think it's true that some people do do that.  But I also think it's true that some people really do care about causes and will do everything they can to support them.
Yep, it's marketing. I mean people do do it for others and causes but that isn't stronger than ones own wanting to see their business succeed
Well yeah because we are mortal and human selfishness is stronger but for Jesus it was the love he had to all of us that motivated him to do everything. So selfless cause was stronger for him.
Yeah, and that is because he was part god and is able to have infinite love for others over Himself. And you're right, for humans, it is tougher
What does success even mean though? Like some people think success is money but other people think that it is in relationships or in reaching some other type of goal.
Success as not failing. We don't ever want to fail and so even though we are doing something good we don't want to fail so that is why so many companies get into so much
I think success is just becoming your best self in all areas. But I also think success if learning from your mistakes and getting up to tray again after you fall.
Trouble trying to stay afloat even non profits
But dont failures lead to learning and ultimately success? So in order to be successful you need to fail. The problem is when you quit. Quitting is way different than failing.
Yeah, it does, I think failure is a great thing. But when one starts a company or a project, failure is the last thing they want to happen because so much is already invested I think quitting is worse than failing
Yeah that is true. But they are afraid of failure then. If you are not afraid then you are more likely to get back up if you do fail. Yeah quitting is definitely worse. If you quit then there is no chance and you become the reason that you fail. But if you keep trying there is always a chance.
But people just don't wAnt to fail. And the real people with real characters pick themselves up and that's who we hear about in the business world
Yeah totally. Those are the motivational stories that everyone loves and they inspire them to overcome their own challenges. A lot of really successful people have big challenges. I think it makes them strong.
So the fear of not failing after starting something passionate is what drives people to keep going I agree! Apple was on the brink to failure but now it's the first ever company to have reached 1 trillion
Its hard work though. You get tired and you just want to start over. Yeah Apple is a great example.
Yeah. It really is
I also really like the story of Amazon and Mcdonalds and all the big companies. They all started very small and were dedicated and worked hard over time. I think it's funny how some people say that being an entrepreneur in the easy life and they just work from home and go on vacation all the time. Being an entrepreneur is reall
Yeah. It's amazing how amazon wAs just selling books
really hard work. Like they probably work harder than anyone else. I know right! Now they sell literally everything and own so many other companies.
Those people who think that are gonna be great. Lolz. 1) it's not easy. Those business guys worked 80 hour weeks to get things going and basically work every position 2) of they think it's so easy, why don't they do it... that's why they aren't gonna be succesful
Yeah seriously they have to wear every hat. They need to know accounting and marketing and operations and sales. It's crazy how much they do. They dont go for it because they are afraid. They are afraid or they just belive in themselves. Also some people are legitimately afraid of success. Like they self sabotage themselves so that they don't become successful because they are afraid of being successful.
Exactly but they say it's easy... haha. Funny people! But what drives me is the challenge! I'm addicted to challenge and being something more! I am motivated by being in contr Control and not having to answer to anyone else. And I am motivated in doing things better.
Yeah that is a good motivation. I hate having to answer to someone else it is the worst. I think I am motivated by that too.
I'm motivated by ideas and creativity
I also like the challenge of becoming something better and learning more things and improving. Yeah I love talking about new ideas and thinking about new ways to do things.
Exactly, and I think having your own business and investment never sees the end to learning
Yeah because there are always new challenges to solve.
When working for someone else, we don't get a chance to express creativity it when we do, we are still restricted and have to answer to someone else and so you are still in Box
Yeah I agree. Plus you are working to help someone else build their dream. So like instead of doing what you want you are helping someone else do what they want. And yeah we all need opportunities to express our creativity.
Exactly, and there isn't anything wrong with that if you are someone who is okay with that. Those are the people I want to work for me b/c nothing will slow them down while w Willingly work for me
Yeah seriously. The world needs people like that. But I just want to be able to do my own thing and be creative and do things that I want to do. I want to have free time to work on hobbies and projects and not have to follow someone elses schedule.
Agreed 100%
Thats my least favorite part of having a job for someone else is that you have to follow their schedule and if you want time off you have to get it approved. Like it's my life and I dont want to be on a leesh.
Right!
But to be that type of person you also need to be self motivated because some people if they work for themselves they wouldn't do anything they would just sit around and do no nothing because they aren't self motivated. So for those people it is probably good that they have a job.
You speak the truth! I am hating my job right now! Cuz even if you do well, you are not 100% secured ! Either you get let go or you face the company failing like my job True
Yeah seriously that is so terrible if the company is failing and you get laid off. It would be ver stressful. But if you own your own business or stocks or real estate then it is a lot more secure.
Yeah, I hate my company and bosses so much that I hope it fails! And that is what they get for not listening to me or my team who new what was gonna happen They are stupid and regret not listening to us now
Yeah haha seriously! That is their own fault. Haha well I guess they will learn the hard way. What job will you go to if you leave this one though?
Yep, and they just announced that they are on their last breathe of air
No way, they are going to close their doors soon?
So, we are on clean up duty to try to fix and maybe make things better
Thats crazy. Do you think it will work?
And when they are in that process I hope you he a job by then and I'll quit when they need me the most Haha
Haha that is brutal.
No, and even if it does, they will face this again!
A company is nothing without it's people.
Yep!  Nothing without us and that is something they failed to see! I am glad I had this learning opportunity to learn from so many mistakes that this company has Dien Done*
Yeah I totally agree. Everything that looks bad can be turned into a learning opportunity. If we let it be.
Yep! I agree! Learn every where I go
Yeah that is so good. Like you can even learn from little kids if you pay attention. Kids have so much to teach us. Or maybe to remind us.
The company has already lost two of the best employees. And is losing me, and 3 other big employees in each dealer Trent! That is true! E What have you learned from Ollie
That is crazy yeah they probably wont survive. What do companies do when they can't sustain themselves? Do they just sell all their assests and call it good? Oh that is a good question.
They will either, 1) operate in the short run of their Variable cost is less than their fix cost Or 2) shit down if fix cost are cheap per than Variabel costs. The. They will do their best to sell everything to prevent losing as much money as they can
Oh that is cool! I didn't know that about companies. From Ollie I learned to love everyone and to not be sad for very long and to learn a new thing every day. I also have learned to be more happy in the small things in life.
Oh, that's good! Yeah, babies are awesoem!
Yeah they are they are so nice and innocent and they are so smart too.
She's are you at now on points They really are
Yeah totally. So do you have any classes tomorrow? Also what time do you want to go to bed. Dont let me keep you up too long.
Nope just working at a place I hate! Haha.
haha well not for much longer!
I'll stay up till whenever cuz we want you to win then we are next haha
Okay dude. Sweet.
I just applied to a Busienss Analyst position Yep
Where did you apply? Which company?
Vivint This position is flexible with school
Oh that is good. Where is it located? just in Lehi?
The one in Provo
Oh they have one in provo? Where is it? Is it by the riverwoods?
Provo, Lehi, Lindon Haha Yeah
So what would your responsibilities at Vivint be?
I'll be working with the managers and sales team to build reports and come up with sale strategies
That sounds awesome! I think you would be really good at that! You are a natural born leader.
Thanks, I appreciate that complement! That's one of my favs! Haha
what is your favorite? Have you ever heard of the doorbell ring?
Yeah, it's more of a strategic and creative  role which is what I like doing Lolz, my favorite complements? Nope, what is that?
Yeah that is awesome! Sweet! Sorry this might be random but for some reason Vivint reminded me of this crazy story i heard today
What was it
I went to an event where this guy was selling the doorbell Ring, I guess amazon bought it. It is a video doorbell and it also has other security features as well. Anyway this guy was an installation guy and the reason he got into the business was because someone broke into his house while his wife was home!
Wow,  ice! See, see this is what gets me excited about. Iskenss, creatively
She caught him in the kitchen and apparently they chatted for a minute before he ran out the door. Isn't that nuts! To chat with the guy who is robbing you! It could be a Saturday Night Live skit or something! In fact, it probably is!
Wow! awesome Yeah, I guess home security sales cuz it can be very beneficial
Yeah it is the scare tactic.
Yeah. It really is.
Okay that was a tangent but I think this new job sounds exciting! When do you hear back? Did they tell you? Everyone I know that has worked for Vivint, really likes them!
Nope. They just posted the job, so it might be a while til I hear back cuz they want to have more applications in then they start calling their favs for interviews. I hope I a Idk, much about them! Haha I hope they are good! I heard they pay well
Well pay is a big plus! And it will be nice that you won't have to drive as far. I would hate to be stuck at the point of the mountain during rush hour. I wonder when the construction will be finished up there. But that is good that you applied quick. I think that shows initiative on your part. Hopefully they see that.
That is a huge factor! I don't want to make that commute anymore! I would save 2 hhours a day where I can do something else Instead of making that commmute Like homework and the gym
two hours! I had no idea it was that much! That is a huge amount of time! Those are important things. I still need to get the membership to the gym. I am determined.
I've been in almost every position within a company. I am hoping this will give me a ton of experience and knowledge for my own business 1hr up, 1.5 back Yes! SAturday!
It totally will. Experience is invaluable. You just can't be taught that, you have to have the hands on experience. I don't know if I already asked but are you guys watching the BYU football game on Saturday?
100% agree!
I don't know what time it is at. I haven't looked it up. But I want to see the freshman quarterback play
We haven't had plans for it! Why is he playing? Was just planning on doing homework
I'm not sure if he is playing but that one game that he did play, he crushed it! I should probably catch up on homework. I have been distracted this week. Obviously haha
Really? Didn't know. I haven't watched them in weeks Haha
I just saw the score. I am pretty sure it was the homecoming game that he started in. It is kind of sad that our senior quarterback had to get replaced with a freshman half way through the season. I would feel so embarrassed!
Why did he get replaced? Just from sucking? Haha Yeah I would too
I think so. He really did suck. He was really slow with decision making. Which is basically the only thing you have to do as the quarterback
True! True! Yeah, I'm glad he is gone! He was really really really over rated
Did he get a lot of hype? I hardly know anything about him. We watched one game last season and then we started rooting for Utah because BYU was so terrible. We aren't very loyal fans apparently. This year we have been better.
Yea, he is way over rated! Slow and just plain suck! Haha I am have never been loyal! I only root for the someone who is good!
Since I am graduating in April, we have been trying to be more involved in the sports. We went to a woman's volleyball game and they were so good!
Why waste time and emotional stress over a sucky athlete
haha that is so funny! I am glad I am not the only one!
BYU's women volleyball is really good
So true! They really are. Do you know if the men's volleyball team is good?
Nope, our men sports are good period haha
I wonder why that is.
Our women's basketball is good, volleyball, and dance has been the best in the nation for many many years
Oh the dance team is so good. I have never seen them in person but I have seen their videos and I can't believe how good they are! No wonder they always win
Cuz 1) good athletes don't want to go to BYU and have to live the honor code. 2) coaches know that so the good ones go some where else to coach. They are really fun to watch live! Best part about BYU's football haha
Yeah that makes perfect sense. If I was a good athlete I would probably do the same thing. Hopefully we can make it to a game this year!
Yeah, most athletes grew up partying and. Or living a BYU honor code so why agree to live it if it's not a standard you believe in, ya know. Yeah, better soon or it will get to cold
Okay today was freezing! I think this is going to be a really cold winter. last year we got spoiled with hardly any snow but I don't think that will be the case this year. I hate the snow. especially having to drive in the snow. Utah is hard enough to drive in without snow.
Predictions has it it's just not gonna be cold but harsh
what does that mean?
Heavy heavy snow and cold cold weather
NOO!!!! That is the worst news that I have heard all day!
Yeah, that's what all of the farmers have been saying. Haha, that was the worse news I have heard all of Monday
Although it will be fun to make snow angels and go sledding with Ollie. I wonder what he will think of the snow. The farmers need to fix this! haha I wish it could be that easy.
He might like it! He seems like he likes everything haha! But it will probably be enjoyable for as long as it is bearable! Haha to "the farmers need to fix this" That's good K, my phone is about to die, it's at less than 5%.
Yeah which probably just means for December.
Has it ended yet? Since it's nov 2? Yeah, I am not to excited about this snow! W When do we start our points?
I don't know when that chat ends. It could be tomorrow afternoon. What do you mean start our points?
Ah got cha! As in when the new round starts
They keep it a secret for some reason. I wish they would tell us. It is just so much stress. I seriously feel like my blood pressure rises when I chat. I was literally doing stretches earlier.
It really is!!! Man, if I do t win this iPad next round, I'll be possed Haha!
I will help you.
Yas! Thank you, we appreciate it! Do we know what kind of iPads we will win?
It would seriously be the least we could do. IPAD PRO
Yas!!!!!
I'm guessing probably the newest version It will be so great! What would you use it for?
That would be nice! They just came out with it this week or last! I don't knowl You?
I heard that they are coming out with a new pen too. Apple is so great. I don't know how they keep innovating. Good think though. I want to give it to Taylor so she can work on her art and graphic designnig I wonder how they came up with the name Apple. It is so simple but yet so perfect.
Did you know they only come out with little things at a time. They have all of these ideas planned and patent already but they keep its d release them out but by bit cuz they Have such a huge impact with their brand and it's so loved that they can do that and still make so ichnmoney Yeah, I don't know! I am curious
That is genius! Seriously!
It really is! Man, another reason why I love the company
They are revolutionizing everything and we all buy into it. I mean people stand in line for hours to get the newest phone which really only has a few new features. It is pure GOLD I wonder if they will come out with new products anytime soon.
Haha, exactly! I went from iPhone X to IPhone Xs
I want to upgrade but i have to resist. Got to save for Dental School. I just wish it could be December already so we can find out if we got in already. It is so stressful not knowing where we will live next year.
Oh, that's just next month
That's right! Time is moving really fast!
Yeah! Maybe just one more year of school Yass!!!! Hey, I'll chat with you again tomorrow! Gonango to bed got to work tomorrow
You have one year left? Okay have a good night!
Maybe. Not sure! Idk how to find out haha Thanks!
talk to you later!
