Welcome to Positive Masters where we develop our mindset and passion projects. In this Youtube video, let's study and work together for three 45-minute Pomodoros (study and work sessions). The background sound for this study and work video is a beautiful flowing stream. For those of you who don't know me, I'm a lawyer, small business person, and retired politician from Hawaii. My passion projects are writing fiction and creating content about mindset and mental health. I'm happy to have you as my study and work partner. Together, we can push through our ups and downs in our quest to improve ourselves and create value for others. We can't control outside influences, but we can control our effort to learn,...
Welcome to Positive Masters where we develop our mindset and passion projects. In this video, let's study and work together for three 45-minute Pomodoros (study or work sessions), so we can take another step toward our goals! Since I was working in the afternoon on Saturday May 8, 2021 after watching the University of Hawaii Men's volleyball team win the NCAA National Championship against Bringham Young University, my energy level wasn't at its peak. Plus, for afternoon work and studies, I usually dedicate light work that don't take too much brain power such as technical and logistical work. Yet they are very important work. Therefore, for my three Pomodoros (study and work sessions), I worked on branding copyright and behind...
Aloha! In this Youtube video, let's study and work together for three 45-minute Pomodoros (study or work sessions), so we can get a step closer to our goals! In the first two Pomodoros (study and work sessions), I worked on the fourth draft of my sci-fi and fantasy screenplay. In the third Pomodoro (study and work session), I created audiograms from my fifth podcast episode "5: Positive Masters Show - Get Better Sleep." I spent hours handpicking each song in this video from the catalogs of music I purchased the licenses for while I studied and worked on my passion projects. The vibe I got from the lofi and chill songs had to blend well with my concentration on my...

I recently watched The Florida Project on Netflix, a movie by Sean Baker about the innocence of kids making the most of their lives despite being poor. I cried. No matter what problems you have, there's so many other people facing tougher challenges. What an amazing movie, with both playful humor and heart-wrenching drama! The link to the preview of the The Florida Project is below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwQ-NH1rRT4 My heart melts for the children going through so many difficulties. Resiliently, many of these kids are still able to find ways to have fun. In my second novel, I wrote about the adversities the children in Iraq faced after the invasion by the U.S. I'm still pitching this story to the literary industry. I...
