MoneyWhat if...
Adapted from Alan Wilson Watts (6 January 1915 – 16 November 1973)
No Objectwere?
STUDENTS COME TO ME ALL THE TIME AND SAY:
„We’re getting out of college and we haven‘t the faintest idea what we want to do.“
STUDENTS COME TO ME ALL THE TIME AND SAY:
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?
WHAT DO YOU DESIRE?
WHAT MAKES YOU ITCH?
WHAT DO YOU DESIRE?
WHAT SORT OF A SITUATION WOULD YOU LIKE?
WHAT MAKES YOU ITCH?
WHAT DO YOU DESIRE?
YOU SEE... AS A RESULT OF OUREDUCATIONAL SYSTEM CROWDS OF STUDENTS SAY:
“We’d like to be painters, we’d like to be poets, we’d like to be writers, ...
YOU SEE... AS A RESULT OF OUREDUCATIONAL SYSTEM CROWDS OF STUDENTS SAY:
... But as everybody knows you can’t earn any money that way.”
OR ANOTHER STUDENT SAYS:
OR ANOTHER STUDENT SAYS:
„I’d like to live an out-of-doors life and ride horses.”
I SAY: „You want to teach in a riding school?“
OR ANOTHER STUDENT SAYS:
„I’d like to live an out-of-doors life and ride horses.”
LET’S GO THROUGH WITH IT:
WHAT DO YOU REALLY WANT TO DO?
LET’S GO THROUGH WITH IT:
WHEN WE FINALLY GET DOWN TO SOMETHING
WHICH THE STUDENT SAYS HE REALLY WANTS TO DO
WHEN WE FINALLY GET DOWN TO SOMETHING
I WILL SAY TO HIM:
WHICH THE STUDENT SAYS HE REALLY WANTS TO DO
WHEN WE FINALLY GET DOWN TO SOMETHING
YOU DO THAT
AND FORGET THE MONEY
YOU DO THAT
BECAUSE, IF YOU SAY THAT GETTING THE MONEY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING...
THEN YOU WILL SPEND YOUR LIFE COMPLETELY WASTING YOUR TIME
BECAUSE, IF YOU SAY THAT GETTING THE MONEY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING...
YOU’LL BE DOING THINGS YOU DON’T LIKE DOING
YOU’LL BE DOING THINGS YOU DON’T LIKE DOING
IN ORDER TO GO ON LIVING, WHICH 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
BETTER TO HAVE A SHORT LIFE THAT IS FULL OF WHAT YOU LIKE DOING
AND AFTER ALL
IF YOU DO REALLY LIKE WHAT YOU’RE DOING, IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT IT IS,
AND AFTER ALL
YOU CAN EVENTUALLY BECOME A MASTER OF IT
IF YOU DO REALLY LIKE WHAT YOU’RE DOING, IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT IT IS,
AND AFTER ALL
IT’S THE ONLY WAY TO BECOME A MASTER OF SOMETHING...
TO BE REALLY WITH IT
IT’S THE ONLY WAY TO BECOME A MASTER OF SOMETHING...
AND THEN YOU’LL BE ABLE TO GET A GOOD FEE FOR WHATEVER IT IS
SO DON’T WORRY TOO MUCH
AND THEN YOU’LL BE ABLE TO GET A GOOD FEE FOR WHATEVER IT IS
ANYTHING YOU CAN BE INTERESTED IN...
ANYTHING YOU CAN BE INTERESTED IN...
YOU WILL FIND OTHERS WHO ARE ALSO INTERESTED
BUT IT’S ABSOLUTELY STUPID TO SPEND YOUR TIME...
BUT IT’S ABSOLUTELY STUPID TO SPEND YOUR TIME...
...DOING THINGS YOU DON’T LIKE
BUT IT’S ABSOLUTELY STUPID TO SPEND YOUR TIME...
IN ORDER TO GO ON SPENDING MORE TIME
...DOING THINGS YOU DON’T LIKE
DOING THINGS YOU DON’T LIKE,
BUT IT’S ABSOLUTELY STUPID TO SPEND YOUR TIME...
IN ORDER TO GO ON SPENDING MORE TIME
...DOING THINGS YOU DON’T LIKE
...AND TO TEACH OUR CHILDREN TO FOLLOW IN THE SAME TRACK.
SEE, WHAT WE ARE DOING IS
WE’RE BRINGING UP CHILDREN AND EDUCATING THEM TO LIVE THE SAME SORT OF LIVES WE ARE LIVING
SEE, WHAT WE ARE DOING IS
IN ORDER THAT THEY MAY JUSTIFY THEMSELVES
AND FIND SATISFACTION IN LIFE
IN ORDER THAT THEY MAY JUSTIFY THEMSELVES
BY BRINGING UP THEIR CHILDREN...
AND FIND SATISFACTION IN LIFE
IN ORDER THAT THEY MAY JUSTIFY THEMSELVES
TO BRING UP THEIR CHILDREN...
BY BRINGING UP THEIR CHILDREN...
AND FIND SATISFACTION IN LIFE
IN ORDER THAT THEY MAY JUSTIFY THEMSELVES
TO DO THE SAME THING.
TO BRING UP THEIR CHILDREN...
BY BRINGING UP THEIR CHILDREN...
AND FIND SATISFACTION IN LIFE
IN ORDER THAT THEY MAY JUSTIFY THEMSELVES
SO IT’S ALL RETCH, AND NO VOMIT
IT NEVER GETS THERE
SO IT’S ALL RETCH, AND NO VOMIT
AND SO,THEREFORE
IT’S SO IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER THIS QUESTION:
AND SO,THEREFORE
WHAT DO I DESIRE?
