00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:09.679
When the path is uncertain, we seek out footprints from
2
00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:16.679
journeys that occurred long ago, opinions from people who know
3
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:21.000
no better than us. We look for things that can't
4
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:27.920
be given, but must be made. I once heard Charlie
5
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:33.880
Munger say that we are our own experiment. Life is
6
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:39.240
the extraordinary, arranged in infinite pieces and placed inside a box,
7
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:44.520
waiting for us to uncover and unfold. Parts that contain
8
00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:51.119
no meaning, and so we place meaning upon them. And
9
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:54.280
the danger of looking externally for answers is that no
10
00:00:54.320 --> 00:01:00.520
one knows you better than you. Life is a ground,
11
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:06.200
an experiment, a place to try new things, push boundaries, build, fail,
12
00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:11.680
and ultimately build again. This is the process from which
13
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:15.920
we see what we're made of, who we really are,
14
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:19.920
uncover with the best book the most intelligent being on
15
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:24.959
the planet can't give you. It's where you learn that
16
00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:33.000
wandering is not the same as lost. See, we must
17
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:36.920
retreat to the depths of vulnerability in order to come
18
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:41.319
back stronger than we've ever been. We must self examine
19
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:46.239
in order to find our wings. The bill Gates of
20
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.719
the world, the Picassos of the world. They disappeared for
21
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:54.000
ten years until they came back equipped to transform everything
22
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:58.640
around them, to explore builds, create themselves, to acquire something
23
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:04.799
that mirror and is incapable of providing. Don't deprive yourself
24
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:08.520
of that because of the pressures right now. See when
25
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:11.639
we realize that falling ten times brings us contentment on
26
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:15.319
the eleventh, falling is nothing to be ashamed of. It's
27
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:18.759
something to be sought out by falling. I learned to
28
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:22.719
succeed by losing. I learned to win by looking like
29
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:26.639
the fool. I learned to lead by wandering off the
30
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:33.199
paved road. I created the map from my soul to
31
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:35.120
where I was meant to be
