00:00Even before you turn 17 or 18, you are already stuffed with very toxic concepts that fun
00:07and work are mutually exclusive.
00:09What a bad concept this is.
00:11If fun and work are mutually exclusive, then work can never be fun.
00:14And if work can't be fun, then you are condemning yourself to very loveless kind of work.
00:19But work you will, for a dozen hours a day.
00:22How will you bear those hours of work then?
00:25In frustration, in strife, in conflict.
00:27Choose your work so that you don't have to look for fun elsewhere.
00:31When the work is just to follow the crowd, how can work be fun?
00:35Fun does not lie in ingratiating yourself.
00:39Fun lies in standing bravely in front of challenges.
00:44That's the only fun possible in life.
00:46There is something that you thought you couldn't stand, but you anyway decided to challenge
00:51it.
00:52And you found that you are more powerful than you thought.
00:55That's fun.
00:56That's adventure.
00:57What else is there?
