I recently watched a interesting speech Harrison's Scott Key at TED. Writer and humorist Harrison Scott Key lays bare three powerful lies we tell young people (and ourselves) about success, and through his own journey from country boy to literary star, he shares and illustrate the mildly outrageous truth about what it really takes to achieve the American Dream.
He is a frequent speaker at book festivals, universities and conferences around the country. The writer says that you will not be able to have everything at the same time. You have to sacrifice something in order to keep and get something much more valuable.
One of the bad tips for kids and young people is "Be anything you want." After all, in this way we absorb everything around without systematizing and disorganizing information.
It was a great speech! I enjoyed every minute of it, and it’s so refreshing to hear something other than the push harder, work more, deplete yourself and ignore the things in life that make you happy and make life fun. I think America does have it all wrong, we work our lives away, never getting rich, and losing all that truly matters in this life. Nobody ever says on their death bed that they wished they would have worked harder, spent more time at the office, etc. If you live, laugh, and love, you win!
