That was good

This is a talk I keep coming back to, lots of concrete suggestions. Your quote is also apt.

Thanks for commenting this. One of the first people outside my family to be influential as a kid. Still have posters of him around to remind me how amazing he was.

Haha, love this idea. My kind of humor.

😂😂😂😂 This comment has made my day. Total deep belly laugh 😂😂😂😂

Lmao.... Good one. I walk in public with a feed the children red nose

XDXDXDXD

I would love to do this if my boss is in that elevator.

That sounds nice! I dream of going back home to Bac Ninh in Vietnam (I was adopted and raised in Canada) Or maybe I’ll go to Japan

I've considered it

Just out of curiosity, did you?

@@levity90 Yes I did! Biggest mistake of my life.

@@curiousgeorge555 Hai, what do you mean by biggest mistake. Did you really moved into a van down by the river? Did anything went wrong, what did you do after moving to the van.

Guero Smith you're definitely right. internet is like gold mining field, before you get the golds, you have to deal with a lot of **** people.

Basically everything she talks about is summed up in the movie Office Space :).

Come to the comments to find this one. My thoughts exactly

Just wonderful, I have been researching "goals for 2016 ideas" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Farnicaas Switcher Capitalisation - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my partner got amazing success with it.

Take it from me, finance is not all it’s cut out to be. Focus on happiness.

They are still human...

But wouldnt u rather be feeling miserable in a shiny mercedez than poor and unemployed?

@@WNCHSTR Point.

@@WNCHSTR it's the work that makes them miserable. Don't get me wrong, ik being poor sucks, but working all your life just so that you can ride lambos isn't that shiny either.

Not hating .... she is an idealist .... thought provoking but without merit on a mass scale. That's an amazing concept: "You disagree with me therefore you are a hater." LOL

V. Dembsey I totally agree. She was definitely speaking to a certain demographic (she isn’t talking to people who have gambled their savings away, or are in massive school loan debt, etc). She is talking to people who are passionless, who often don’t even know where to BEGIN in liking a job (else they would have pursued their passions long ago.) Based on who her target demographic is, she should have included the clarifying step as you suggested.

She sounds like a Landmark graduate

+AZZUMBA JOHNSON OMG you're lucky! I really want to watch this, but the dry tongue lip smack sound is curdling! just awful! drink some water before giving a speech for god's sake! hope i can make it through. . .

Nice talk. Doable steps.

same here...Em atheist too.

Ah, then you're not making lunar landings in your life because what's not to like about those? If you told me you're a permanent resident of Fallujah then I might nod. Create a life supernova ala experiential learning, i.e. places like Choice Center in Vegas.

me neither wish I wasn't born

It's free too! People are stupid.

Well said!

Renata Uznanska yes, yes, yes,because it is fun sometimes, yes, no, no, yes, because we can, because we like judging others and sometimes, its fun online, ok.

***** Hard to live without hope :) You have a more than 50% chance of being correct Anglekan. We kill zillions of cows, chickens, pigs to eat everyday (I'm no vegan) and many humans too, thru legalized wars. WAR is legal!

Renata Uznanska I am thankful to live in a country (which I have also honorably defended) in which criticism of anything free is still allowed. Why is it necessary? Because these people are selling ideas, and those ideas can lead directly to changes that affect you and society, worldwide. If we find a problem with their message or presentation, we owe it to them and those interested in comments to try to help them fix something if they agree it was wrong/a mistake or we can suggest that we do not agree with somebody's ideas and find them dangerous/incomplete/mistaken/etc. Can you imagine an America where you could only criticize things you paid for? Spooky stuff.

Really good message! thanks Irina :)

If you have passion and capacity to address a perceivable need then the first application for that passion and capacity is finding the money. People with huge money are willing and able to support passionate pursuit of need fulfillment, both for-profit and non-profit. If you lack the personal capacity to grovel effectively for lucre then you lack the capacity to address the need and gotta find a different focus; a need within your capacity. Its the combination of fervent passion with real capacity that gives sense to Parker's paradigm.

karmakameleon113 I think you made great points. You should do a Ted talk at some point.

Thank you for your sharing...I think I am trodding my way and sometimes i don't figure out the meaning or the reasons between dots. I hope I can tell later on the invisible guidance by Him, on heaven like you mentioned.

Tony Limberg Hi, Tony. You can write to me at choypeichin@gmail.com I have dreams and visions since 18. There were many dreams and visions come to pass in my life. Some were bad and some were good. I was guided by God in life to do what I was meant to be doing although the process was not what I hoping for but everything that happened to me was meant to teach me something. I am who I am now because of all the tough and challenges I have been experiencing. When I looked back I truly understand why people always say everything happens for a reason. Write to me and I will tell you more about God which I was guided by Jesus into church and being saved from darkness into light. I wish to share more with others.

Failed because you gave up?

You don't need to want to die. By default we are all set to doom the day we are in the womb. Fail your failure to succeed in your pursuit. Don't treat yourself special.

How you doing now? Goes a year you quit your job.

Don't die. Start again.

Isaac Tt What an awfully judgmental and assuming thing to write.

ColargolPL i agree so hard with this. Finally someone speaking the truth

The quote is "Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a slave." But you made a good point.

You probably have: an internet bill, cable bill, rent/mortgage, cell phone bill, multiple vehicle bills, multiple insurance bills, other misc. bills regarding entertainment, monthly expenses on unnecessary/dangerous medicines... You probably don't: sell things on ebay/etsy/farmers markets, run a website, run a business, experiment, brainstorm, solve problems, create prototypes, craft, build things... Try to minimize bills and take up extra income, find a way to make some money on the side, preferably something you can find joy in. If you do all of these things, it is quite practical to save up lots of money. Maybe you need to get out of a mortgage and into a trailer home...

dude, you only live once. Doesn't sound like you're going for it. For example, there are very successful chefs who own several restaurants who absolutely love to cook and started out as line cooks making almost nothing, probably less than you but they didn't care. They used the time to do what they loved and soaked up everything they could to eventually build something themselves. This is also true for lots of other people who follow their passions in life. If you don't have a passion, then you're a dead and lifeless fish. Find your passion and stop whining about your life.

Love how everyone assumes I have the time to do all these things, I work, I run errands, I sleep, and repeat. The cost of living in america is incredibly high, and full times jobs are paying less and less. My full time job only pays 9 dollars an hour, that's normal here, I always hear about jobs that pay much more, but have yet to actually see one open.

There are many immigrants that arrived in NY with nothing, but they managed to change their fortunes and those of their children through sheer hard work, using their strengths and creating opportunities. Why can't you do that?

I especially love all the replies recommending that you live out of your car, stop paying for a phone or any type of internet, and somehow manage to sell things on ebay, etsy, and at the farmer's market....... How is one to do such things without means of communication, room to create products to sell (somehow) online, or land to grow things to sell at a farmer's market while maintaining good health and a full time job? Something tells me this comment thread is rife with highschoolers and college freshmen.

The thing is, you don't. You do not quit a job for a business. Rather you start it up as a side project, and if it becomes successful you quit your current job and work on your business by then.

aerozg What do you define luck to be? It is an important concept, humans have considered, probably as long as humans have existed. How is it that an observable phenomena associated with positive and fortunate results can occur with regularity and frequency is considered taboo and unbelievable? Most commonly acknowledged, is the jealously negative internalization. "How come your so lucky, nothing like that ever happens to me." Very seldom do people admit to being or feeling lucky with any frequency, ashamed or embarrassed, though it is often remarked on by others how lucky they are--also negative internalization. Often luck is explained as receiving some benefit without reason or undeserved which coupled with random happenstance, "being in the right place at the right time." Also negative internalization. It's that these negatives are part and parcel to the internalized notion of luck that it does not receive the attention or consideration it should. But what if it was accepted in a different framework of rationalization? I suggest that it should and it is simple to do if one truly pays attention and accepts the resulting perspective. Ever notice how "some people have all the luck" or "a person can have a streak or run of luck." Do you ever consider that luck is not only possible as a positive result but can also be a negative one? That some people are just unlucky? If it's Real and can be Good or Bad, and often occurs in serial progressions. Then perhaps there are causal factors, which is the point of this narration: Luck or the acronym LUCK is Labor Utilizing Correct Knowledge. Often casually observed results are the product of intentionally pursued goals. What appears easy, random and undeserved actually involved work, persistence and research or planning. That this is far more often the truth, than common perceptive. One who hopes for luck when its needed is doomed to fail. One who relies on LUCK and seeks to find it is destined for success. Nobody mentioned luck. Peace

+Julie Figueroa I first read "Think and Grow Rich" in my early teens and became a fan instantly. Your right, repeat often for best results. In my own experiences, I found that often will apply 3 or 4 principles at any time based on current needs and challenges becomes either tunnel vision or temporary amnesia. Most are so simple to implement and utilize but easily forgotten when not in use. It's been decades since I've read that, may need to dust off the hardcover. (-;\

Sorry I dont know why I'm laughing at this lol

may i humbly suggest, that you did NOT lose everything... you still have your art. Don't give up. keep going..The world needs people like you.... and what you have to give the world..

Ditto!

Learn from the hard experiences in life. You may need to reexamine what you are doing as an artist to inspire people. Find successful people in your field and invite them to criticize your work. It will probably be painful but if accepted in the right spirit you may get some substantial help.

There is much to consider in your comment. 1) "Lost everything..." I know a talented but unappreciated visual artist who insanely cut off his own ear while confined to an asylum. How far did you fall? 2) "who inspires people..." Not yet. Inspiration is viral. Did you really inspire people? How did you plan to monetize their inspiration? A storefront preacher can do it. Why can't you? 3) "people didn't want...." Your mindset ain't right. Jettison the baggage. Ignore the haters. Wipe your tears. Get back on your bike and ride!

Ken Portnoy Here's an article about me, years ago: 2-7-03 Let’s talk local, “Community” Profiles in Courage! “Don’t let it be forgot that once there was a spot For one brief shining moment!” Nine years ago, a man came to Ft. Myers Beach. This man was not big in stature, but he looms larger than life in reality to many. Myself especially! He had an idea, a vision. He wanted to bring the arts and some culture to this beach. Something that 9 years ago, this beach was completely void of! Unlike others though, he took a proactive approach to it! He opened a shop behind the Cottage, The Scope Shack. He survived by taking pictures of parasail customers, selling those pictures and putting the pictures into small key chain “scopes”, selling them to the parasailers. But, art was his passion. He was the curator of a gallery in Ohio prior to moving to the beach, and holds a B.A.F. in fine arts. He eventually moved to the Key Estero shops, opening a gallery, featuring different local artists each month and continuing to run his scope business in order to pay his rent. His third move two years ago, was to The Sea Farer’s Village Mall, where he finally changed the business name to “The Red Curtain Gallery”. Here he continued the gallery in a much more professional manner and also produced theatrical productions. In the spring of 2002 he ran into trouble with “The City of Ft. Myers Beach”. There were a couple local filmmakers who submitted films to the “Ft. Myers Beach Film Festival” and didn’t even receive the dignity of a response back from them. This man, along with John Heim, one of the filmmakers, decided to produce a Ft. Myers Beach “Shadow” Film Festival, literally “shadowing” the original. The town was so upset; they tried every imaginable legal maneuver to prevent him from going forward with this alternative festival. I was actually present in the company of a rival Publisher/Editor when this Editor stated, “I’m going to do everything I can, to see that this guy fails!” The real irony there is: This is the Publisher of a local newspaper that claims to be all for, and about “the community!” How about them apples?! The town tried everything from requiring him to draw a permit that could not be obtained until after the Festival’s start date, to threatening him with arrest! I had actually met with this man and some of these “politicos” in order to try and come to some sort of equitable, compromise resolution. The scenario they painted was so bleak and threatening, I was totally intimidated, and I have balls the size of King Kong’s! This guy was never even fazed though! He struggled on in the face of overwhelming adversity, brilliantly, strategically and dangerously outmaneuvering his opposition and the local government, and went on with “The Shadow Film Festival” right on schedule. The Shadow Festival turned out to be a huge success! Not just for the filmmakers and this man’s gallery, but for the triumph of the little guy over the larger, bully oppressor! I was thoroughly amazed at the lengths the town went to, in order to squash this thing. What was their worry? How come this consumed them to such a degree? Was there not room on this Beach for more art and culture, or was it just a case of a childish, selfish display by the town? Unfortunately, I believe it’s obvious the latter was to be the case! For the past year The Red Curtain Gallery has been doing some remarkable things. Including a production of “Jesus Christ Superstar” in which the roles were reversed, with Jesus being played by a woman and Mary (Murray?) Magdalene being played by a man! There has also been “Art Erotica” night every Thursday night, where every week a different nude model was painted while DJ’s spun music. There has been live music, spoken word poetry and just an extraordinary, eclectic collection of people communicating in many diverse ways. A true “artist’s outlet”! Well, it seems that Mother Nature has achieved what the City of Ft. Myers Beach and others were unable to do. Because of a terminal illness in his family, this man is forced to return up north to his family’s home. As usual, his integrity is shining through and he’s doing the right thing! Ken Kesey once said: “Nothing is forever!” And, I guess this, and Quantum physics have proven him correct. Many others and myself will sorely miss this man, and The Red Curtain Gallery! My own life, and the lives of those lucky enough to have participated in this experiment on the beach, have been enriched immensely! But, like all indomitable spirits, I am also confident the man, and his dream will rise again from the ashes, somewhere, sometime. I love you Paul Longua! And, we will all miss you! Go in peace, knowing there are many of the significant, if not the majority, wishing you the best this life has to offer! Chris Capp "It is not worth an intelligent person's time to be in the majority. By definition, there are already enough people to do that." - G.H. Hardy

Good point and I wish you good luck with those. The point she's trying to make here doesn't detract from that though. You should consider these questions even if you consider yourself a wage slave. The debt will be gone one day but your passions and the world's needs won't be.

$100,000 in debt from school? that's just stupid. how is it people think it's OK to live beyond their means. if you have put yourself in that position, then don't have the option to quit your life. fix the one you have.

this implies that this quit & reboot process is only for those who already makking good amount of money 😂🤣

Realistically..

the first paragraph is a plus. but the rest is strange.
