I'm like, man, I haven't done a good enough job clarifying that when I talk about work ethic, I'm trying to speak to people who are unhappy or complaining.

If I could get people to think about their careers, the way they feel about waking up in the morning and running for that hour, where they clear their stress, they love it, I hate running.

That doesn't work for me, but for me, working is the happy place.

And I want that for everybody because the big thing is I don't think people have really quantified how many hours of their adult life is actually working.

Think about how much work takes up the time that you're awake.

So a lot of people are like, oh, I work nine hours a day. I'm like, yeah, but you also sleep nine hours a day. So that means you work nine hours a day.

And then everything else you do while you're awake is only six hours.

Travel, shower, work is a lot of your life.

Fuck, man, do I want you to want to like it and live it and enjoy it.

It's a lot to do. Like even if you work nine to five, if you work eight hours a day and you sleep eight hours a day, that means work is 50% of every hour of your whole day for 40 years of your life.

Like why the fuck are you doing something you hate? Make less money, buy less fancy shit and be happy.

Like literally people are miserable because of an extra room in their house. The comfort though. People are comfort. They don't want to change it up.

Yeah, but you know what? I think it's that people buy shit they don't need and then have to work a job. They hate to pay for the shit they don't want.

I hate that shit. It fucks me heavy, which is how I got to the Joneses, which is how I got to don't worry about other people's judgment.

The other thing is if you're 22, 18, 25, 30 and you think you should have your whole life figured out, that's ludicrous.
