What makes you itch? |
| [00:15.23] |
What sort of a situation would you like? |
| [00:20.88] |
Let’s suppose, I do this often in vocational guidance of students, |
| [00:25.73] |
they come to me and say, well, |
| [00:27.90] |
"we’re getting out of college |
| [00:29.82] |
and we have the faintest idea what we want to do". |
| [00:33.80] |
So I always ask the question |
| [00:36.28] |
"what would you like to do if money were no object? |
| [00:39.11] |
How would you really enjoy spending your life?" |
| [00:45.49] |
Well, it’s so amazing as a result of our kind of educational system, |
| [00:48.91] |
crowds of students say well |
| [00:50.63] |
we’d like to be painters, |
| [00:51.81] |
we’d like to be poets |
| [00:52.92] |
we’d like to be writers |
| [00:53.97] |
but as everybody knows you can’t earn any money that way |
| [00:57.24] |
Or another person says well |
| [00:58.60] |
I’d like to live an out-of-doors life and ride horses |
| [01:01.49] |
I said you want to teach in a riding school? |
| [01:06.32] |
Let’s go through with it |
| [01:07.23] |
What do you want to do? |
| [01:09.11] |
When we finally got down to something |
| [01:10.82] |
which the individual says he really wants to do |
| [01:13.10] |
I will say to him |
| [01:14.21] |
you do that and forget the money |
| [01:19.89] |
because, if you say that getting the money is the most important thing |
| [01:26.36] |
you will spend your life completely wasting your time |
| [01:30.83] |
You’ll be doing things you don’t like doing in order to go on living |
| [01:33.95] |
that is to go on doing things you don’t like doing |
| [01:36.72] |
which is stupid |
| [01:39.75] |
And so, therefore, it’s so important to consider this question |
| [01:45.40] |
What do I desire? |
