dear zemiros,
let me help you out, you suggested to reb yankel the following:

may i humbly suggest a book for your reading pleasure before you do KRSSH?

now reb yankel would probably switch the order from shema and then krssh, because then he can say it with more kavana and fall asleep with a book. and this is what he means: NPB, new pleasure book, just like you suggested.
i love you all

Yankel,
I agree with Lavi's question that stayed unanswered. Do you have any short term ambitions?
I will take it further? Do you have long term ambitions other than lust related issues?
I know you have been trained into thinking about one day at a time, but you have to have some long term goals also. what are you driving for?

N is for a two letter word (or three if you add a "T" at the end

P is a four letter word (not porn) with "ing" at the end

B.....IS NOT FOR BANANA!!!!!

Short Term - Become Moderator (עיי, פה)

Long Term - Become Administrator

It seems to me that soooomeone is avoiding a tough question.
Are all your shiafas and goals in life having to do with lust and the cleansing of it?
No other goals and drives in life?
Goals in learning? Goals in making money? goals in saving the world (besides GYE)?
It's great to have you here on the forum. Perhaps you being a moderator will make things even better. I have no idea what the administrators do (don't they get burnt out by the time they reach so many posts?). Your hashpaah and help to the oilam is imposible to measure. Only when you get up there will you really be able to tell how many heilige neshomos were helped through your chizzuk and participation.
But is that really your biggest goals in life? (Unless as I said at the beginning, you are avoiding answering the question)
If you have no answer indeed perhaps it is time to think about it.
with love,
unanumun

Ok, Ok, Ok! At least laugh first at the attempted joke, then we can go further!! A little sensitivity for a good friend!!

The reason I haven't yet posted an answer, or at least that you didn't realize that I posted an answer, is because I haven't had time (Heh, it's easier to write about love than about my goals in life!!). Wisecracks are quicker.

I guess I'll answer first (since you're so desperate ) and if you mean something different you will clarify.

The quick answer is no, I don't have long term ambitions in anything specific, besides for living one day at a time.

I don't know exactly what one day at a time means to you, but to me there is never a stirah to one day at a time, there can't be, because that is the simple truth of my life, it is purely fact.

That being said, at this present time I am learning how to live life, maturely. I am doing what I can (and therefore, need) to do at the point that I am right now. Learning the things I am being told I should learn, doing the things I am being told to do. Will that ever change? I haven't the slightest idea. Will there be a time when I will be a maagid shiur, a rosh yeshivah, a mashgiach, a rav, a rebbe, or a business man of any sort? I haven't the slightest idea, and I'm not "aiming" towards any of them, for I don't have anything telling me that that's what I should be aiming for right now.

Truly, I have few real ambitions regarding GYE, nothing more than I'm doing now, if anything I know that I need to be very careful how much I'm here. Of course I'd love more attention, but that's not an ambition of mine.

Feel free to ask more if that wasn't clear, or if you disagree (if you dare )!!
