00:00I just want to follow my passion to the end. Do I really want to go through this whole thing?
00:04Because it's very risky. It's not very sure that I'll get financial stability.
00:08You use the word passion. So go for it. Why are you caring for money?
00:14The rule of existence is do anything in the best way possible.
00:20And you won't have to worry about your sustenance.
00:23Money will follow.
00:26Though it will not follow in the predictable ways.
00:30Or at the desired or appointed time.
00:34It will come on its own.
00:36But you say, no, before I move towards my love, which you're calling as passion,
00:41I also need to be convinced that there is enough financial security there.
00:48Yes, you can be convinced of the paths that guarantee financial security.
00:54But then those paths are all very, very crowded lanes.
01:00As a young person, setting out in life with the zeal, the zest, the energy, the freshness that youth must
01:08have.
01:09Why should you choose those crowded, stuffy lanes? Why?
01:15And that too at the cost of your love.
01:17Just because you have been terrorized, that you will starve.
01:24Money is important so that it can enable you to work.
01:27Money is not the output of work. It is the enabler.
01:30Yes, one does need money in life so that one can work without disruption.
01:36The real deal is work, not money.
01:38What is life without real commitment, real passion, real love?
01:44What do you live for?
01:46What do you tell yourself every morning?
01:47What have you woken up for?
01:48What do you have in your house?
01:51How does it move forward?
