Good luck. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 One year ago, I decided I want to become a football referee, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 um, it's not because of the money though I only get paid 20 euros per match. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 So, I won't really get rich by it rely. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Now, I decided to become a referee for 2 other reasons. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 One, do things go cheap? Two, because I wanted to learn 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 How not to take things personally? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I can see some people nodding, you're probably thinking being a referee 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 is a perfect environment to learn how not to take things personally? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Isn't it? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Because, expectators hardly ever shouted encouraging or positive things. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 No. What do they shout? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Come on, come on. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 [Loser, Are you blind?] Yeah, good good. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 As a referee, I am discabed goat. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Apparently, I'm always wrong. It's always my fault. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 And I wanted to learn how not to take all of this personally. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Because I really struggle with this. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 For example, when I drive slowly because I'm trying to find this specific location. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 And somebody is just driving behind me, I feel hunted, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 especially when they start honking, and flashing their headlines. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 [Sigh] 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I take personally. I know, I shouldn't. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 But it just happens, do you see what I mean? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Or when somebody cancels an appointment last minute 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I get the feeling that I'm not important enough. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Again, I take it personally. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Even professionally. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I'm a public speaker like tonight, this is what I do, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I give keynotes speeches and I really like it 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 as long as I can draw my audience into my story 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 because the very, the very moment I see somebody is not paying attention
