OPPENHEIMER Director Taught Me a Secret | Oscars 2024 SamuelDaram 2023-10-03 | Christopher Nolan's OPPENHEIMER is a masterclass in not just filmmaking in the 21st century. OPPENHEIMER gifts us with many secrets to what makes a successful creator. In this video, I discuss one important line of dialogue that comes from the character Niels Bohr, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist who is played by Kenneth Branagh. "Can you hear the music?" is the question Niels Bohr poses to Robert Oppenheimer. Can you hear the music? Can you read music? This is a great discussion about the role of pure talent over everything else such as conventional education and training.

A Book Steve Hasnt Read? Book Tag | Steve Donoghue Book Tag (NEW) SamuelDaram 2019-11-28 | A Book Steve Hasn't Read? Book Tag. In a world of over seven billion human beings, one man claims to have read every single book that has been published. And this man is Steve Donoghue, the Dr Samuel Johnson of YouTube! To honour Steve Donoghue's influence on BookTube, a fellow BookTuber, Matthew from Mayberry BookClub created this Original Tag: "A Book Steve Hasn't Read?" The challenge is to try and guess at least ten books that Steve Donoghue might not have read. This video is my response. If you want to know the eleven books that I think Steve would certainly not have read, do please watch this video. And if you feel that this video is adding value to your life, please subscribe and keep watching my other videos. When you watch this video, click that 'thumbs up' button and do leave your comments. The Original Tag from Matthew at Mayberry Bookclub: youtube.com/watch?v=3GR64NIAkW0 Remit: Pick ten books that Steve Donoghue might not have read. Steve Donoghue's first response to Matthew's Orignal Tag could be watched here: youtube.com/watch?v=8w8ueXmHNRY If you are going to make this video, do please give credit to its creator, Matthew by mentioning him in your video and putting the link to his channel in your Description. The Description should contain the Original Tag's remit or questions. Copy and paste it from the Original Tag's channel. Could we please maintain these good manners and custom for all the Tag Videos? Thank you! If you are not sure who created an Original Tag, try searching on YouTube. What is the second biggest search engine in the world? The answer: YouTube! If you are spending a few hours making a BookTube video, why not spend at least sixty seconds giving credit to the BookTuber who dreamed up an Original Tag? Now, let's use this Tag Video to pay tribute to the most influential BookTuber of this decade. Watch my video to find out why Steve Donoghue means a lot to me.

Best BookTubers of The Year: Volume One (2019) SamuelDaram 2019-09-17 | Best BookTubers of the Year: Volume One - The Best BookTubers On The Booker Prize 2019.Booker Prize 2019 has given us a neat dozen of twelve BookTubers who have so far entertained us with their inimitable views about this prestigious literary event. I want to use The Best BookTubers of the Year to discuss the benefits of having a mindset of abundance. A person with a mindset of scarcity feels that that there are not enough opportunities in the world. So, he'll be reluctant to support and cheerlead other artists. An artist with a mindset of abundance feels that there is a place for everyone. And she would be swift in helping and cheerleading her fellow creators. For a person with a scarcity mindset, comparison is the mother of jealousy. For a person with an abundance mindset, comparison is the mother of inspiration. The artist with an abundance mindset would be inspired by others' success while a person with a scarcity mindset would be deflated. These twelve BookTubers take on the challenging task of reading and making videos about this year's Booker Prize. Most of the novels are demanding in many different ways. Do please check these channels. If you feel that they are offering you value in terms of information, education, entertainment and inspiration, do please subscribe, like and comment to help their channels grow. When these BookTube channels grow, we grow and succeed in that process.
