  1. Okay then, a big locker room slap on the hiny from me.
  2. Please give him a big sloppy kiss for me
  3. My problem is with the emphasis on "figuring out what it is" or applying the notion to career to begin with. I would say everyone DOES contribute something unique to humanity.
  4. "Everyone is special and unique and has a special gift for the world, your job is to figure out what that is!"
  5. You can be anything you put your mind to!!! Reach for the stars!!! Just do it!! Follow your dreams! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Profesion does not bring you happiness. Ecclesiastes, Aurelius 'meditations'
  6. That's a less judgmental way to put it, yeah that's probably better just not as blunt to understand as easily.
  7. I don't think I'd say it does matter to love your work. "Find what you love to do" No, seems "emotional guidance" usually comes from a toxic workplace "Find what career you love"
  8. Do you known many people that worked out west? Cali, arizona, seatle? Everything I hear and see from most of those companies looks like an almost continuous party.
  9. Another job you might leave is with toxic customers, I pair that with toxic workplace. If you can't take it at this time in your life then definitely leave.
  10. I have had fun 9-5 jobs and loved being with my coworkers like that.
  11. What would be an example? An environmentally conscious person working for an oil company, working in a toxic workplace, of course leave that. To me it comes off as "ohhh, don't mess up and choose the wrong career, choose the right one! What matters most to you?" Which just puts young people into analysis paralysis and doubt. Like take spiritual meme for example, he works software, got in with a toxic company, and Is now considering being a yoga instructor instead. He obviously has software interest and passion, but that seed of doubt planted makes him think the issue is his compatability with software and not his company. If you go through college for some profession there's enough "love" there. If you follow that you will always be seeking "love" from your career and never get it. You guys watch the office? They sell printer paper, would you work there? Is it because your heart is set on selling paper? What work might someone not love?
  12. This discussion reminds me of something else I often like telling people. In America strangers ask what you do for a living, in western Europe they don't, conversationalists say it is a terrible question and I concur, it puts peoples guard up thinking whether the other person doesn't respect them or 'I'm better than them'.
  13. But do you see how that subliminally says 'what you do matters'? Like, "don't do a boring job". It's bs to me, I could have the time of my life flipping plain tasteless burgers for 50 years, try to have fun with your coworkers and customers, work part time do yoga and park meditation 2 hours a day, whatever.
  14. I always say that, I hate owning stuff, the maintenance, storage, guilt of not using it,.. .
  15. Who would work if they didn't need to? If you're doing it because you love it, why do you charge?
  16. Yeah, but most people are not career centric and actually only care about what they do for a living because they've been conditioned to. It seems most people would be happier if they just found a good group to work with doing literally whatever, and then taking care of the basics in life more rather than fostering an aspiring career. Focus on diet and lifestyle, career is just toting water and chopping firewood, doesn't matter whether you're doing it on a unicycle or in a porsche. What really matters what anyone makes? It's all just dust.
  17. 22:18 "seeking ends" Beginning "there is no time.... no sequence of events" Regurgitation
  18. 14:49 "there isn't anyone."...... "you can't expect someone not to teach that." 🤮 So weird and contradictory. There is no one teaching it. What does this video teach, or give off..... mhhmmm.... keyword, teach; to understand something, or love? And what matters; to understand, or love.
  19. The old way was just find the highest paying gig you can get. It's new. No, it's bs. Live a life you love, career shouldn't take away from your life but it shouldn't be the source of your happiness, no, that's like saying only do the chores you love.
  20. Click on the three horizontal bars top right. Click account. Then click account settings. Then click ignored users. Then add user.
  21. Yeah that's some b.s. new age idea going around, "love your work", you'll never find work you love, you may find love for your work though. It doesn't matter what you do. This idea going around has so many young people screwed up though.
