00:00When thoughts of your personal success stop mattering to you, you say there is something
00:06more important than my personal success, then you have really succeeded.
00:10It has to be so big that you forget about your failures, your happiness, your sadness.
00:17Somebody comes and tells you, but you are sad and you say, Oh, am I sad?
00:20I just forgot that.
00:21Somebody comes and tells you, you have not had meals since the last 36 hours.
00:25You say, Oh, am I hungry?
00:27I just forgot that.
00:28I was so engrossed in something large, in something meaningful, that I totally forgot
00:35my personal appetite.
00:37It just vanished.
00:38Now that you have reminded me, I've also started feeling hungry.
00:42But for the last 36 hours, hunger didn't matter.
00:45I didn't even know that I was hungry.
00:48All of my attention was dedicated towards something broader, larger.
