| What makes you itch?
|
| What sort of a situation would you like?
|
| Let’s suppose,
|
| I do this often in vocational guidance of students,
|
| they come to me and say,
|
| well, «we're getting out of college
|
| and we have the faintest idea
|
| 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 be writers,
|
| but as everybody knows
|
| you can’t earn any money that way.
|
| Or another person says well,
|
| I’d like to live an out-of-doors life and ride horses.
|
| I said you want to teach in a riding school?
|
| 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 will say to him,
|
| you do that and forget the money,
|
| because,
|
| if you say that getting the money is the most important thing,
|
| you will spend your life completely wasting your time.
|
| You’ll be doing things
|
| you don’t like doing in order to go on living,
|
| that is to go on doing things you don’t like doing,
|
| which is stupid
|
| And so, therefore, it’s so important to consider this question: What do I
|
| desire? |
