00:00Ambition is a very stale thing. It's a dead thing.
00:04Do not forget where it comes from. It comes from your past in the jungle.
00:08You are conditioned to be desirous.
00:11And social forces just encourage you to be even more desirous
00:15of the same things that you have been wanting since a million years.
00:19Same things. Let's do something new.
00:22As young people, no? Or do you want to live the same life
00:25that your ancestors in the jungle were living?
00:27The monkey wanted a fruit, you want an orchard.
00:30Is that fundamentally different thing? Please.
00:32They were running after female monkeys then.
00:35And even today you are running after the female monkey.
00:37Maybe in a Ferrari.
00:38And the female monkey was attracted towards the alpha monkey then.
00:42Even today the female monkey is attracted towards the alpha monkey.
00:45Who is the alpha monkey today?
00:47The one with the Ferrari and the money.
00:49It's also monkeysh.
00:50Can we live fresh lives, new lives?
00:53Or do you want to continue that same animalistic tradition?
