    Why smart people fail…

     

    INTELLIGENCE

    Intelligence is not Enough!

    Most people have an IQ in the 90 - 109 range. You're considered a genius if your IQ is 132 or above. Chris Langan has an IQ of 195, the highest known IQ in the US. He started talking at 6 months and by age 4 could read and comprehend books. His IQ puts him in the same class as Sir Isaac Newton and Michelangelo. He's in his mid-forties, and he works as a part-time bouncer at a bar and lives in a one-room house on $6,000 a year.

     

     

      — 4 Make priorities a priority! 

    there is a glut of smart people who run around and do lots of stuff but with no direction or priority. 

    It is like the guy who knows how to invest, he studies the tables, charts, the market the overseas yen and euro and watches the tech market… studying the new insights and break throughs… and never sets a priority to invest. The best investors do not invest the most, or make the best choices…the best investors make it a priority to invest on a regular basis. You may know it all, but unless you know how to set priorities to get things done and a time line to get things done… you will fail. One of the greatest pick items I got from 7 habits of highly successful people is writing down the roles I play in my life, and then right down goals, to dos and priorities to get them done. 

    There will always be things to do

    There will always be important and less important

    But there will always be the same amount of time for everyone AND…

    There will always be those who know what is most important and know how to set a date on a given timeline to get it done. 

     

     

      -  5 Bad attitude, arrogant, complainers pessimistic… you missed it! 

    There are some people in scripture who are not named by name, they are not named by nationality, they are not named by male or female… there name is simply Murmur’s and why? because they are murmurs! That is what they do… you know what else they are not called? Successful! 

    THIS IS THE…  the only disease that makes everyone around you sick except the one who has it. 

     

    There is an old saying that goes like this “some people are so full of what is right, they can’t see what is good”. The idea is that some have attitudes so focused on the negative and such poor attitudes they only see what is right but by pointing out what is wrong. Did you catch that? There is nothing that can drive a person crazy then hearing someone tell you what is right by pointing out all that is wrong… I have worked in churches my whole life…and if I had a dollar for every time I heard a staff member say “well at our old church they did it this way”… 

    IT IS NOT THAT WE DON’T APPRECIATE YOUR INSIGHT INTO WHAT IS WRONG… IT IS JUST SIMPLY THAT YOU SEE EVERYTHING AS WRONG.

    I refuse to be around whiners and complainers… won’t do it.

     

     

      — 6 The network of one is a network of none

    How many smart people don’t need anyone else… it is a sad but startling reality. I see so many people who think they don’t need help, they don’t need to be your friend, they don’t need to reach out and build relationships because they are special and unique due to their giftedness. It is almost like a kryptonite they feverishly and knowingly hang on to. 

    I have never met a single successful person who has not had an amazingly webbed network. In fact successful people may just simply be successful because they know how to network more than any other skill they possess. Think on that for a second… whatever you are lacking can be made up by your ability to network!

    God did not create everyone equal. There are plenty of really athletic people who rarely have to work to play professionally… and then there are some who have what it takes and still never hit the field… Hmmmm? Today we are talking about why smart people fail to succeed! 

     

     

    Why smart people don’t succeed.

     

    There are math geniuses who sell mattresses at the mall.

    Computer geeks who work grub hub.

    Brilliant surgeons living on the street panhandling 

    Former CEO’s who now work selling phones at ATT mobile

     

    I know lots of really really really smart people who live a life of semi disappointment… almost - shall I say it? Failure.

     

    Not that any of these jobs if you work them are failures… my son who is a math wiz works for a verizon store… but albeit he loves his job and every year is top of the company in sales and has continually moved up the ladder in the company..

     

    But my point is many truly smart people live dumb lives! 

     

    Why?

     

    They don’t realize that smarts aint enough. Here are just the first of 3 things smart people need to understand in order to actually live up to their potential. 

     

     #1 You gotta have a skills that pays the bills.

    Sure you are smart… but do have a skill that warrants people lining up to hire you to use said skill. 

    Some skills fix problems.. the bigger the fix the bigger the skill is needed and you get paid accordingly.

    If you can fix a leaky pipe… you will get paid appropriately. 

    Can you save a marriage? You will get paid appropriately.

    Can you invest money to make someone millions? You will get paid appropriately. 

    Can you perform brain surgery? You will get paid appropriately.

    Failure comes when you think smarts equal skills. 

    THEY IN FACT DO NOT! 

     

    Does your skill help people enjoy life more?

    Can you write a song a play a movie a code?

    If you can write really good songs you can get paid really good. If you can write really good books you will get paid really good.

    Your skill is your limit. 

     

    To many smart people never put this together… they read book after book, get degree after degree but never actually achieve a high level skill. 

    Many times we call these people teachers…

     

    #2 you are ugly… no no no not looks. you are just an ugly person to be around. You have bad manners, you don’t act graciously, you cant say thank you, you cant apologize -your are just rude. You have a chip on your shoulder like everyone owes you because you are smart.

     

    Guess what? people like dumb nice people… they don’t like rude smart people. How many smart people have undone their own potential because people just don’t want  to give them any breaks… because…well… they just don’t like them.

     

     

    #3 unsuccessful smart people won’t shut up.

    Many times smart people like to argue because they are smart and they know everything… ok, maybe you do… but we don’t care. We don’t want to be corrected every time we share our opinion. We would rather you just shut up, listen and share your opinion graciously without making us feel stupid or belittled. 

    Really smart people who fail in life think they can impress others by showing them just how really smart they are. I will impress them by constantly correcting them, one upping them and letting them know how wrong they are when they talk.

    You know why successful people rarely argue? it’s pretty simple actually… they are to busy getting things done. It is like rearranging deck chairs on the titanic… 

    One of my pet peeves is when I am done preaching and someone comes up to correct my theology or argue a point of how they see scripture… and I ask them how many people have you won to Christ this week, month year? If they say none… well then I am done with you. Like Jesus did with the pharisees… in Mark… just walk away.

    5 beautiful truths for a full life

     

    1. the truth will always be less popular, less flashy and will bother most people. Be truthful anyways. And in todays world the truth offends more people then lies society tells us. 

     

    John 8:32 You will know the truth and the truth will set you free. 

     

    the greek word there means seeking out the truth. It is the same word phrase used when Mary is told she will become pregnant with the Messiah. She asks how will I know this truth. She is actively seeking truth. 

     

    Seek the truth is not enough in todays world… you have to be willing to share it to an ugly world that will hate your for it.

     

    Share it anyway! - in love!

     

    2. Don’t seek peoples approval as much as you seek peace. the best way to protect your peace in life is not a day on the beach with a drink and your toes in the sand… Sorry David Lee Roth. Because you can still have “Those” people in your head. Get rid of people who cause strife, pain, who are argumentative. They won’t understand why you cut them out and you don’t have to explain. When a child is drowning does the parent first choose to explain why he is going to pull him out? NO. The child is dying, just pull him out! Some of you have spirits and souls that are dying due to the people you are around… pull yourself out of those relationships and don’t worry about explaining why. 

     

    Gal. 1:10 Am I now trying to win the favor and approval of men, or of God? Or am I seeking to please someone? If I were still trying to be popular with men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.

     

    3 - Understand your greatest advantage is that you will never quit. And in fact the more you fail the more dangerous you become- Because your learning… Do you want to quit learning, quit failing, do you want to quit failing quit trying… do you want to quit trying… die.

     

    The recent crypto boom I saw more people panic, buy, sell, buy then sell again…

    This is the mindset of someone who gives up. 

    Buy your coin and hold it.

    Start your business and run it. If it goes under, start another one.

    Gymshark, the teenager started like 9 business online and they sucked… but one caught on and he sold it for 1.4 Billion dollars.

     

    Gal. 6:9 And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.

     

    4 - Do what you love… BTW that is not sitting around the TV or computer screen killing time.

    Most men who are overly productive in life have learned a secret. It is not that they have the perfect job using all their talent and skills… but rather they have the perfect outside life using their talents and skills.

    I have a friend who is a carpenter… but his passion is raising money for individuals and non profit businesses and ministries. Now how much can you raise while being in construction… well he has raised over a 3 million.

    It is his passion to help people get out of debt, raise money for Godly projects and teach people to dream big. He does not love construction… but it is just his job not his life. 

    Curtis Martin the HOF running back… never liked football. He just simply saw it as an ends to a means to do what he really was called to do! 

     

    Ecc. 5:18-20 Even so, I have noticed one thing, at least, that is good. It is good for people to eat, drink, and enjoy their work under the sun during the short life God has given them, and to accept their lot in life. 19 And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life—this is indeed a gift from God. 20 God keeps such people so busy enjoying life that they take no time to brood over the past.

     

     

     

     

    5 - be motivated by your potential and by the disaster of possibly being average.

    I recently heard an interview with a Jewish rabbi. He asked the interviewer a question… He said does God want you to have great sex (odd question from a Jewish rabbi) and he went on to answer his own question. It says no where in the bible that God wants you to have awesome sex… but he has given you the tools to have awesome sex if you simply use them. He then went on to ask Does God want you rich… well it is truly hard to find a verse that says God wants you rich… however he went on to say - he has given you the tools to become rich if you are willing to use them. 

    What am I trying to say? We have more potential than we can ever even imagine. If you are stupid and have youtube you can make a million dollars in todays world. 

    Potential and perseverance combined makes for great sex and lots of money. 

     

    Phil. 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. 

     

    Strength GK = ability, gives me the tools

     

    Don’t blame God for these things:

    Bad relationships: he has given you the tools

    Bad finances: he has give you the tools

    Bad sex: he has given you the tools

    Don’t blame God for bad friends: he has given you the tools

    Don’t blame God for bad health… he has given you the tools

    it is all in your potential.

    Are you deceived?

    God please let me win the 500 million dollar lottery. If I win I will pay off the church debt, start some orphanages, tithe to my church, give money to the poor… I will also buy a new house, and a house in Florida… oh and in Montana on a mountain with some really cool snowmobiles and a huge jeep and a hummer, and for my Florida home I’ll get a Lambo and a Ferrari and the home will be on the ocean… You know I should probably buy a home in the Caiman islands as well…

    Man Im going to have to cut back on how much I give the church- I mean God doesn’t want the church to solely depend on just my income…others may not tithe then and they will miss out on his blessing… and this is how deception works.  

     

    Are you deceived? 

     

     - has anyone warned you about behavior that does not line up with scripture?

     

     

     - Have you knowingly excused your behavior regardless of what scripture says?

     

     

     - Are you having sex with someone other then your spouse?  Why is this important? The chemical cocktail is a powerful brain numbing and dumbing tool used by satan. 

     

     

     - Are you blaming your current situation or sin on your spouse or boss or parents etc… 

     

     

     - Are you describing events as if they were to powerful or God ordained to fight against? 

     

     - When asked questions do you typically defend your opinion and or ask questions back.

     

     

     - Is your speech filled with weak and vague explanations. Clouded in obscure lingo and ideas?

     

     

     - Do you lack detail in your circumstances when asked by others about it. 

     

     

     -  Do you blame God or your circumstances for your actions and decisions? 

     

     

     - Is what you are doing clearly stated as Godly in scripture. 

    Gods word has a lot to say and is also absent on a lot of things… and we many times assume things are ok or not ok based on his silence on issues. 

    However, if you know what you are doing is clearly wrong in scripture. You are deceived by your own intentions.

    Pantera WALK 

    Can't you see I'm easily bothered by persistence

    One step from lashing out at you

    You want in, to get under my skin and call yourself a friend

    I've got more friends like you, what do I do?

    Is there no standard anymore?

    What it takes, who I am, where I've been belong

    You can't be something you're not

    Be yourself, by yourself, stay away from me

    A lesson learned in life

    Known from the dawn of time

    Respect, walk, what did you say?

     

     

    5 Reasons walk away.  

     

    JESUS DID

    Mark 8:11 When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had arrived, they came and started to argue with him. Testing him, they demanded that he show them a miraculous sign from heaven to prove his authority.

    12 When he heard this, he sighed deeply in his spirit and said, “Why do these people keep demanding a miraculous sign? I tell you the truth, I will not give this generation any such sign.” 13 So he got back into the boat and left them, and he crossed to the other side of the lake.

     

    AVOID THE APPEARANCE OF EVIL

    Prov. 26:11 As a dog returns to its vomit, so fools repeat their folly.

     

    That word there fool actually comes from the root word “evil”.

     

    You need to talk away from arguments with a fool… 

    Garth define fool. simple: in this context it is someone who is arguing their opinion in arrogance and without the intent to learn anything.

     

    To the outsider who is just simply watching… they may have no information about the argument so they do not know who is right or wrong. But they will see who is not evil by the person who simply chooses to walk away and not argue. 

     

    TO PROTECT THE PEACE 

    Psalm 119:161 

    Powerful people harass me without cause,

        but my heart trembles only at your word.

    162 

    I rejoice in your word

        like one who discovers a great treasure.

    163 

    I hate and abhor all falsehood,

        but I love your instructions.

    164 

    I will praise you seven times a day

        because all your regulations are just.

    165 

    Those who love your instructions have great peace

        and do not stumble.

     

    Did you catch this: He is being harassed but he walks away and does not stumble. 

    WHY? to protect the peace. 

     

     

     

    YOU HAND SOMEONE OVER TO SATAN

    1 Cor. 5:5 Paul is not even with the church of Corinth. And he does not feel the need to go there in order to hand someone over to satan. NOW LISTEN… this is kind of a big deal. I would think anyway. This is the only time I can find in scripture handing a person over to satan… but Paul does not even go there. He simply states what should be done and leaves it there. 

     

    So in a sense he doesn’t even walk away… it’s not even worth his time. 

     

     

    MARRIAGE COVENANT BROKEN

    Matthew 5:32

    Jesus says when a spouse breaks the marriage covenant by having sex with another person you can divorce.

    **I find it interesting that Jesus doesn’t say… his grace will heal, love covers a multitude of sin, Patience wins in the end etc…

    HE COULD HAVE SAID A LOT OF THINGS THAT SOUNDED BIBLICAL. But he doesn’t - he says “walk.

    Now I know a lot of marriages that have healed through those terrible situations…

    BUT HONESTLY… AS A PASTOR… Most do not. only about 3% make it.

    I think it is an act of grace for God to say… walk.

    There are some great verses in the bible on sowing and reaping… but here is one you may have missed. 

     

    Matthew 7:12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you

     

     

     

     

     

    RELATIONSHIPS

    Relationships , the iron law whenever you see an unhappy unsuccessful person in life you will almost always see someone who is trying to live outside the law of sowing and reaping. It’s accurate to 99% degree in relationships and life whatever you sow in relationships you get back we see this in parent child and we see it in marriage.  

     

     

    It’s easy to see in the realm of finances and health, but it is just as real in the realm of relationships. 

     

    If you have a great life it is because you have great relationships. 

     

    But here is something you need to look at when it comes to sowing and reaping in relationships.

    Any relationship (especially home relationships) are like personal hygiene. You must care for every area of your body.… You don’t just wash your hands and think everything else is ok. Can you imagine a surgeon showing up for surgery and he is dressed in raggedy clothes, with poop on his shoes, wet paint on his shirt and greasy hair and lice… but he is like…”hey I washed my hands!”

     

    You can’t get away with just saying “hey I provided for the family” that is not good enough.

    “Hey I took my kids to church”

    “Hey I haven’t watched any porn”

    You must sow into all areas of your relationships. 

     

     

    Jerry Rice

    He played for Mississippi Valley State University, in Itta Bena, Mississippi, a virtual unknown. He was once asked, "Why did you attend a small, obscure university like Mississippi Valley State University in Itta Bena, Mississippi?" Rice responded, "Out of all the big-time schools (such as UCLA) to recruit me, MVSU was the only school to come to my house and give me a personal visit."

    Theological definition

    Grace is the dimension of divine activity that enables God to confront human indifference and rebellion with an inexhaustible capacity to forgive and to bless.

     

     

    **Your view of Grace determines how fulfilling and meaningful your Christian walk is.

     

     

     

    Why it’s misunderstood, because it has two types of definitions in Scripture.

     

    What it is: unmerited undeserved unearned kindness and favor of God

    What it does: The divine enablement to live a life for God

     

     

     

    What is Grace?

    Culturally this word was always used as someone who is superior in standing giving a gift to one who is inferior in standing. But there was always a 3rd party as well. Someone in need, someone who had and someone who purchased.

    An example from their time:

    You see a single mom who is in need of groceries.

    You go to the farmer who has the food

    You buy it from the farmer and give it to the mom.

    Someone in need

    Somone who has

    Someone who pays…

     

     

    Faith, grace and the Law

     

    The difference between faith and grace?

    Grace is the faucet that was provided by God… you did nothing to earn that faucet… its just there in the bathroom. You don’t have to leave money behind when you wash your hands, you don’t have to feel guilty, you don’t have to work a few hours at the restaurant to pay them back… but how do you get the water out of the faucet? Faith… you don’t see any water coming out… but you simply put your hands down there and the water starts…

    God I don’t deserve your grace outside of accepting Christ death for me. But in faith I will walk in it. 

     

    OT - demands righteousness - The Law

    NT - Provides righteousness

     

     

    We need grace - unmerited favor in every area of our life.

     

    Law = Performance, being graded, earn

     

    WORKS is so tricky…

    When you are in a relationship you don’t ever want to feel like you have to earn their love…

    BUT - 

    As soon as you get into a fight you quickly tell them all the things you have done! - works! 

     

    Our sin nature is programmed for a works mentality. 

    But we simply rest in Gods grace…

    I can’t earn it, I don’t get rewarded by it

    I simply ask God for more of it.

    Think of all the things in the world today that are built specifically on the basis of speed, pain free, easy… but what really means is we lack patience, peace and joy. 

     

     

    John 14:27 “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid. 28 Remember what I told you: I am going away, but I will come back to you again. If you really loved me, you would be happy that I am going to the Father, who is greater than I am. 29 I have told you these things before they happen so that when they do happen, you will believe.

    30 “I don’t have much more time to talk to you, because the ruler of this world approaches. He has no power over me, 31 but I will do what the Father requires of me, so that the world will know that I love the Father. 

     

    So don’t be troubled or afraid.

     

     

    but I will come back to you again. - This is speaking of the Holy Spirit. Not just his few appearances after his resurrection. 

     

     

    He has no power over me, - Jesus was God who laid down his humanity and lived life on the earth by the power of the Holy Spirit. Proving to us that we also may live without fear, through the power of his Holy Spirit and not worry about what or where the world is headed. 

     

    When Christ is in us, satan has no power over us. Oh don’t get me wrong we live in a sinful world and there is sickness and disease and greed and pain and problems… but they have no power over us. What do I mean? They have no affect on my belief or walk in Christ. 

    Oh I may have sickness… I have had 3 cancers a brain tumor, a broken neck, paralysis and more… but that has no power over my mindset, my spirit, my effectiveness in my walk with Christ, it has no affect on my faith and ability to live and walk in victory over those things.  My God does not lie… I may not see the break through I want to see, I may die of cancer or I may have pain or problems… but they have no power over me… when I die, I live forever. In my pain God carries me, in my sickeness God heals me, in my problems God never leaves me… They are powerless to affect my walk, my relationship with God. 

    What does God say… they will not affect my peace!

    Lets talk about success, excellence and potential.

     

    The human body has so much potential…

    If all the muscles in the body combined to lift an object, it could lift something over a ton.

    Over the last 100 years we have gotten faster beyond our wildest imaginations in running, swimming, jumping..

    we have also gotten fatter. The heaviest we can get is 1400 pounds. 

    The human eye can detect over one million colors.

    Our minds are beyond the capabilities of most of our own rationalizations. We can remember over 1 million gigabytes. We truly have not capitalized on our potential in most areas of our life. 

     

    But how do we maximize our potential. 

    and to be honest this has always been a deep desire of mine. I want to reach my potential in physical, mental and spiritual abilities… what a horrible thought to get to heaven and realize I was capable of so much more. 

     

     What is success… well as soon as you ask that question the problem arises of simply “what is success” Right? I mean what is success to me may not be what you view as success…

     

    So what is success… now you may not agree with me, but thats the point behind this definition of success. Ok here we go: Success is measuring yourself against other people. 

    Now you say, but I can measure myself against losers and seem like a success. - YEP! AND you can measure yourself against the elite in any area and feel like a loser. So it is up to you to understand that success is not the point.

    *all this to tell me that? - you bet. 

    Because here is where we are going. 

    Excellence is measuring yourself against your potential. Excellence over success, moves you closer to your potential. 

    If I simply try to do things the best I can… not perfection, we are not shooting for perfection (that is a lose lose situation) but rather working towards excellence… getting better and better… that is the catalyst - the engine if you will to tapping our potential.

     

    I love what Jim Rohn said years ago… why make a million dollars? Because of what it will make out of you as you try to make a million dollars. 

     

    When God looks at you what does he see? 

    you probably think disappointment or sin or judgement or disapproval - but I think scripture points to the fact that he sees potential. 

     

    Genesis 1:26 in the Amplified Bible which says:

    “Then God said, “Let Us (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) make man in Our image, according to Our likeness [not physical, but a spiritual personality and moral likeness]; and let them have complete authority. . .”

    The Living Bible in Genesis 1:26 says:

    “Then God said, `Let us make a man—someone like ourselves, to be the master of all life upon the earth and in the skies and in the seas.”

     

    Now thats potential! 

     

    Get your eyes off of success and onto potential.

    I just recently heard someone say Leadership is overrated… in fact they said the world needs more followers. While I understand this point, I would fight over the opinion that everyone needs to be a leader. 

     

     

    2 Samuel 11 famous story… David is supposed to be out in battle but instead stays home… goes out at night and from his deck sees a woman bathing…

     

    And she’s wet, and soapy and curvy and voluptuous and drop dead beautiful… the sun is setting and the light from her lamp is glimmering off of her skin…

     

    Garth - why so much detail. Well this is what satan does… right? he blinds our invisible and supernatural senses with the physical and tangible senses. 

     

     

    So much to be said.

    Bathsheba… knew what was going on

    She did not put up a fight

    She followed Davids lead

    She set the bait…

    But….

     

    David acts impulsively… 

    David acts impulsively…

    David acts impulsively…

    nope it wasn’t that he sent for Bathsheba - it’s that he wasn’t where he was supposed to be. He was supposed to be out in battle leading his men. 

    From that one decision… and what was that decision? 

    Choosing not to lead…

     

    His whole life and legacy take a dive.

     

    He gets called on the carpet… by the prophet Nathan

     

    And look you know people talk right?

    David was from that point on known as 

    “that guy”… or “that king” 

     

    Prov. 5:8 Stay away from her!

        Don’t go near the door of her house!

    9 

    If you do, you will lose your honor

        and will lose to merciless people all you have achieved.

    10 

    Strangers will consume your wealth,

        and someone else will enjoy the fruit of your labor.

    11 

    In the end you will groan in anguish

        when disease consumes your body.

    12 

    You will say, “How I hated discipline!

        If only I had not ignored all the warnings!

    13 

    Oh, why didn’t I listen to my teachers?

        Why didn’t I pay attention to my instructors?

    14 

    I have come to the brink of utter ruin,

        and now I must face public disgrace.”

     

     

    Look they didn’t just talk about David messing up, they talked about how David got Bathsheba’s husband murdered… and he knocked her up and now how his family is falling apart.

     

    From what? Not leading! 

     

    Nathan tells David a story and says a rich guy who has everything has some guests stop by and instead of taking one of his own sheep and butchering it for the guests, he takes the one sheep the poor old guy down the block has… David is ticked…

    5 David was furious. “As surely as the Lord lives,” he vowed, “any man who would do such a thing deserves to die! 6 He must repay four lambs to the poor man

     

    Hey hold on… why do you think David is so mad…

    Same reason you get mad at things… guilt.

    We overcompensate for areas we are ourselves guilty… trying to prove our righteousness by our anger… 

    Anyway…. 

     

    2 Sam. 12

    7 Then Nathan said to David, “You are that man! The Lord, the God of Israel, says: I anointed you king of Israel and saved you from the power of Saul. 8 I gave you your master’s house and his wives and the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. And if that had not been enough, I would have given you much, much more. 9 Why, then, have you despised the word of the Lord and done this horrible deed? For you have murdered Uriah the Hittite with the sword of the Ammonites and stolen his wife. 10 From this time on, your family will live by the sword because you have despised me by taking Uriah’s wife to be your own.

     

    A legacy lost from leadership loss

     

    Don’t be that guy.

    Lead yourself first!
