[00:12.25]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?
