Transcript (Partial):
Don't be so high and mighty that you don't take advantage of the humble opportunities that are granted to you. When I look back, I didn't like school at all. You might say I hated it and I've thought a lot about that because I thought, well there were reasons. I was a very fast reader. I could get through the books that were given to us in English class generally in the first day and that wasn't really appreciated I would say. But there were things, and I was bored a lot as a teenager and got into a reasonable amount of trouble. Not an unreasonable amount but then there were sports teams and there were attempts to organize plays and there were things that I didn't do that I could have that would have made my life better. But I was too cynical maybe to take full advantage of them.
And like I did work when I was a kid. I worked in restaurants as a dishwasher, short order cook, that sort of thing. That was a really good decision. I think my fondest memories in some ways of my adolescence are memories of working in the restaurant. The life is very difficult and in order to thrive with this difficult life, if an opportunity is presented to you, you shouldn't be so arrogant that you dismiss it. And it's really easy to be arrogant as a teenager, especially if you're smart because you think, well, I'm smarter than everybody else. It's like actually no, there's lots of people that are a lot smarter than you. You just haven't met them yet and you're not as smart as you think you are besides, and other people aren't as dumb as you think they are either. I would say if you're 16 and your life isn't so happy. It's like look around and see if there are opportunities that people are granting you. Even imperfect opportunities because they're going to be imperfect that you could exploit, let's say in the proper way and learn and grow.
So life is brutal and what you have to set against that is possibility. And you might say, well, life is so brutal that you have to utilize all of the possibility that comes your way. So an opportunity manifest itself and you turn it down, you ignore it, you let it drift away. It's like that's one thing that you had against the horror of existence that you let go of. You let go of 10 of those things, man, you're on the street.
