Beyond (Remake)
What do you desire?
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 the 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 say you want to teach in a riding school?——
Ur..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!
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 you do really like what you are doing
It doesn't really matter what it is
You can 't eventually turn it-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 will be able to get a good fee for whatever it is
So you don't worry too much
That’s everybody is, somebody is interested in everything
Anything you can be interested in you will find out very soon
But it's absolutely stupid to spend your time doing things you don't like
In order to go on spending things you don't like,doing things you don't like
And to teach our children to follow in the same track
Here what we are doing
Is we are bringing up children and educating them
To live the same sort of lives we are living
And so therefore it's so important to consider this question:
What do I desire?
