: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!
:27:00
I see the people that do the real work
:27:02
and what's really said,
in a way, is that...
:27:03
the people that are
the most giving, hard working
:27:06
and capable of making this world better,
:27:08
usually don't have the ego
and ambition to be a leader.
:27:12
They don't see the interest
in superficial rewards,
:27:15
they don't care if their name
ever appear in the press,
:27:18
they actually enjoy the process
of helping others,
:27:21
they're in the moment!
:27:23
Yeah, but that's so hard!
:27:24
You know, to be in the moment,
:27:25
and I just feel like I'm...
:27:27
designed to be slightly
dissatisfied with everything...
:27:31
You know, I mean, like...
always trying to better my situation.
:27:34
You know, I satisfy
one desire, and it just...
:27:37
agitates another, you know?
:27:38
Then I think:
to hell with everything, right?
:27:39
I mean, desire is the fuel of life
:27:41
I mean, do you think
it's true that if...
:27:45
if we never wanted anything,
we'd never be unhappy?
:27:47
I don't know...
:27:48
Not wanting anything,
isn't that...
:27:51
a symptom of depression?
:27:53
Yeah, that is, right?
:27:54
I mean, it's healthy to desire, right?
:27:57
Yeah...
:27:57
I don't know,
:27:59
I mean, it's what all those
Buddhist guys say, right?
