[00:00.21]What do you desire?
[00:02.64]What makes you itch?
[00:05.60]What sort of a situation would you like?
[00:11.40]Let's suppose,I do this often in vocational guidance of students
[00:16.20]They come to me and say
[00:17.68]Well, "we’re getting out of college
[00:20.39]And we have the faintest idea what we want to do"
[00:24.36]So I always ask the question:
[00:26.87]"What would you like to do if money were no object?
[00:30.84]How would you really enjoy spending your life?"
[00:36.60]Well,it's so amazing as the result of our kind of educational system
[00:38.97]Crowds of students say well we'd like to be painters
[00:42.96]We'd like to be poets
[00:43.71]We'd like to be writers
[00:44.66]But as everybody knows you can't earn any money that way!
[00:47.93]Or another person says well
[00:49.80]I'd like to live an out-of-doors life and ride horses“
[00:52.23]I say you want to teach in a riding school?——
[00:56.16]Ur..Let's go through with it
[00:58.27]What do you want to do?
[00:59.89]When we finally got down to something
[01:01.64]Which the individual says he really wants to do
[01:03.95]I will say to him 'You do that!
[01:06.79]And forget the money!
[01:10.47]Because if you say that getting the money is the most important thing
[01:17.14]You will spend your life completely wasting your time!
[01:21.73]You'll be doing things you don't like doing in order to go on living
[01:24.92]That is to go on doing things you don't like doing!
[01:27.60]Which is stupid!
[01:30.58]Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing
[01:34.77]Than a long life spent in a miserable way
[01:39.75]And after all,if you do really like what you are doing
[01:42.52]It doesn't really matter what it is
[01:44.78]You can 't eventually turn it-you could eventually become a master of it.
[01:48.81]The only way to become a master of something is to be really "with it".
[01:52.59]And then you will be able to get a good fee for whatever it is
[01:56.49]So you don't worry too much
[01:58.40]That’s everybody is, somebody is interested in everything
[02:02.49]Anything you can be interested in you will find out very soon
[02:05.86]But it's absolutely stupid to spend your time doing things you don't like
[02:10.24]In order to go on spending things you don't like,doing things you don't like
[02:13.38]And to teach our children to follow in the same track
[02:17.52]Here what we are doing
[02:19.80]Is we are bringing up children and educating them
[02:22.23]To live the same sort of lives we are living
[02:39.28]And so therefore it's so important to consider this question:
[02:44.83]What do I desire?
