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
what will 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 in 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 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’re doing it doesn’t matter what it
is you can eventually turn it you could
eventually become a master on the only
way to become a master of something be
really with it and then you’ll be able
to get a good fee for whatever it is so
don’t don’t worry too much that’s the
everybody’s somebody’s interested in
everything and anything you can be
interested in you’ll find others 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 and doing things you don’t like and
to teach your children to follow in the
same track see what we’re doing is we’re
bringing up children and educating to
live the same sort of lives we’re living
in order that they may justify
themselves and find satisfaction in life
by bringing up their children to bring
up their children to do the same thing
so it’s all retching no vomit it never
gets there
and so therefore it’s so important
consider this question what do I desire
