:25:01
I had this funny... well,
horrible dream the other day.
:25:06
I was having this awful
nightmare, that I was 32,
:25:11
and then I woke up, and I was 23!
:25:13
So relieved...
:25:14
And then I woke up for real,
and I was 32.
:25:17
- Scary!
- It happens.
:25:20
Yeah, time goes faster and faster.
:25:21
Apparently, it's because we don't
renew our synapses live to 20.
:25:24
So, it's pretty much
downhill from then on.
:25:27
I like getting older,
you know, it feels...
:25:30
I don't know,
it feels more immediate.
:25:32
You know, like I can
appreciate things more.
:25:35
No, me too, actually.
I really love it.
:25:38
I was once a...
:25:40
...a drummer in a band.
:25:41
You were?
:25:42
Yeah, we were pretty good, actually.
:25:44
But the lead singer guy,
he was just so obsessed
:25:47
with us getting a record deal.
:25:49
You know, it's all we talked about,
it was all we thought about,
:25:51
getting bigger shows,
:25:52
and everything was just...
focus on the future, all the time!
:25:54
And now, the...
:25:55
... band doesn't even exist anymore.
:25:57
Right, I'm looking back at the...
at the shows we did play,
:26:00
even rehearsing,
... it was so much fun!
:26:03
Now I'd be able to enjoy
every minute of it.
:26:06
Can I have a trier?
:26:07
Well, your book has been
published, that's...
:26:10
that's pretty big deal, and you've
been all around Europe with it.
:26:13
Are you enjoying
every minute of it?
:26:15
- Not really...
- Not really?
:26:19
Do you have another one of those?
:26:20
Yes, of course.
:26:23
Here.
:26:26
In my field, I see these people...
oh, sorry... coming to it with big
:26:31
idealist visions of becoming the new
leader that will create a better world.
:26:35
They enjoy the goal,
but not the process!
:26:37
Right.
:26:38
But the reality of it is that the
true work of improving things
:26:41
is in the little achievements
of the day.
:26:43
And that's what you need to enjoy,
just take my field.
:26:45
What, what do you mean, exactly?
:26:46
Well, for example, I was working
for this organization that helped
:26:48
villages in Mexico.
:26:50
And their concerns was
how to get the pencils
:26:53
sent to the kid in these
little country schools.
:26:56
I was not about big
revolutionary ideas,
:26:58
it was about pencils!
