1
00:00:02,370 --> 00:00:05,220
What makes you itch?

2
00:00:05,220 --> 00:00:07,640
What sort of a situation

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,089
would you like?

4
00:00:11,089 --> 00:00:12,110
Let's suppose!

5
00:00:12,110 --> 00:00:15,899
I do this often in vocational guidance of students.

6
00:00:15,900 --> 00:00:16,800
They come to me and say

7
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:24,039
"Well uh... we're getting out of college and we haven't the faintest idea of what we want to do."

8
00:00:24,039 --> 00:00:26,570
So I always ask the question:

9
00:00:26,570 --> 00:00:30,599
"What would you like to do if money were no object?"

10
00:00:30,599 --> 00:00:35,690
"What'd you... How would you really enjoy spending your life?"

11
00:00:35,690 --> 00:00:40,100
Well, it's so amazing, as a result of our kind of educational system crowds of students say

12
00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:44,200
"Well, we'd like to be painters. We'd like to be poets. We'd like to be writers.

13
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,520
But as everybody knows, you can't earn any money that way."

14
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,940
Another person says "Well I'd like to have an out of doors life and ride horses."

15
00:00:51,940 --> 00:00:55,720
I say "Do you want to teach in a riding school?"

16
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:56,710
uh...

17
00:00:56,710 --> 00:00:59,490
let's go through with it "What do you want to do?"

18
00:00:59,490 --> 00:01:03,300
When we finally got down to something which the individual says he really wants to do,

19
00:01:03,300 --> 00:01:06,490
I'll say to him, you do that,

20
00:01:06,490 --> 00:01:07,890
and uh...

21
00:01:07,890 --> 00:01:10,010
forget  the money!

22
00:01:10,010 --> 00:01:11,960
Uh... because

23
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:13,600
if you say that,

24
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,840
getting the money is the most important thing,

25
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,120
you'll spend your life

26
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,170
completely wasting your time.

27
00:01:21,170 --> 00:01:24,600
You'll be doing things you don't like doing in order to go on living

28
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,150
that is to go on doing things you don't like doing,

29
00:01:27,150 --> 00:01:30,220
which is stupid!

30
00:01:30,220 --> 00:01:32,340
Better to have a short life

31
00:01:32,340 --> 00:01:34,260
that is full of what you like doing

32
00:01:34,260 --> 00:01:39,400
than a long life spent in a miserable way.

33
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,600
And after all if you do really like what you're doing, it doesn't matter what it is,

34
00:01:44,370 --> 00:01:48,299
you can eventually turn it... you can eventually become a master of it.

35
00:01:48,299 --> 00:01:50,190
The only way to become a master of something's

36
00:01:50,190 --> 00:01:52,259
to be really with it.

37
00:01:52,260 --> 00:01:56,130
And then you'll be able to get a good fee for whatever it is.

38
00:01:56,130 --> 00:01:58,950
So, you don't do worry to much that everybody's...

39
00:01:58,950 --> 00:02:02,229
somebody's interested in everything.

40
00:02:02,229 --> 00:02:05,410
And anything you could be interested in you'll find out this way.

41
00:02:05,500 --> 00:02:07,289
But it's absolutely stupid

42
00:02:07,289 --> 00:02:10,000
to spend your time doing things you don't like

43
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,000
in order to go on spending things you don't like for doing things you don't like

44
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,749
and to teach your children to

45
00:02:14,749 --> 00:02:17,099
follow in the same track.

46
00:02:17,099 --> 00:02:18,649
See what we are doing,

47
00:02:18,650 --> 00:02:21,879
is we're bringing up children, and educating them

48
00:02:21,879 --> 00:02:24,649
to live the same sort of lifes we're living

49
00:02:24,650 --> 00:02:28,400
in order that they may justify themselves and find satisfaction in life 

50
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,739
by bringing up their children

51
00:02:30,739 --> 00:02:32,249
to bring up their children

52
00:02:32,249 --> 00:02:37,300
to do the same thing, so it's all retch and no vomit, it never gets there.

53
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,909
And so, therefore it's so important,

54
00:02:42,909 --> 00:02:44,499
consider this question:

55
00:02:44,499 --> 00:02:48,800
WHAT DO I DESIRE?

56
00:03:03,478 --> 00:03:07,700
be the change you want to see in this world
