00:00Sir, being a teen, when people think of grinding and focusing on career, is it okay to enjoy
00:06and have fun?
00:07Choose your work so that you don't have to look for fun elsewhere.
00:11You want to know what fun is?
00:13Go and meet a true warrior.
00:15He'll tell you what fun is.
00:16Fun is when you take it right on your chest and still soldier on.
00:20And that's the definition of career.
00:22You don't exist to be safe.
00:24And there is no thrill in cheap kinds of adventures.
00:28The real thrill is when you challenge the very core of your existence.
00:32Be a fighter.
00:33Look at the state of the earth.
00:35Look at the society.
00:36Look at how we are.
00:37Look at how kids are.
00:38Look at how the environment is.
00:41Live for something you can die for.
00:44Let that be your career.
00:46And when you live that way, you discover a certain fun of a high quality.
00:51You could call it high-end fun.
00:53At high-end fun, the knowers have called it joy or ananda.
