What makes you itch?
What sort of a situation...
you would you like?
Let's suppose I do this often in vocational guidance of students
They come to me and say well,
Ah,
we're getting out of college and we have the faintest idea of what we want to do
So I always ask the question,
What would you like to do if money were no object?
How would you really enjoy spending your life?
Well, it's so amazing as a result of our kind of educational system,
crowds of students say well,
we'd like to be painters, we'd like to be poets, we'd like to writers,
but as everybody knows you can't earn any money that way
One other person says I'd like to live an out of doors life and ride horses
and said he wanted to teach in a riding school
Ahhh! Let's go through with it, what do you want to do?
When we finally got down to something which the individual says he really wants to do,
I'll say to him, you do that!
and forget the money...
because if you say that getting the money is the most important thing
you'll spend your life...
completely wasting your time.
You'll be doing things you don't like doing inorder to go on living that is do go on doing things you don't like doing...
which is stupid!
it's better to have a short life,
that is full of what you like doing
than a long life spent in a miserable way.
And after all, if do really what you're doing,
it doesn't matter what it is
you can eventually turn it... err... you could eventually become a master of it
The only way to become a master of something is to be really with it
and then you would be able to get a good feel for whatever it is
so don't worry too much that's ... everybody is...
somebody is interested in everything
and anything you can be interested in, you'll find others as well
but it's absolutely stupid to spend your time doing things you don't like
inorder to go on spending things you don't like and doing things you don't like
and to teach your children to follow the same track
see what we are doing...
is we're bringing up children and educating them
to live the same sort of lives we are living
inorder that they may justify themselves and satisfaction in life by bringing up their children
to bring up their children to do the same thing
so it's all in retro-no-vomit it never gets there!
and so, therefore it's so important to consider this question,
what do I desire?
