I find it funny that people got so outraged about so many obvious things,
such as the absolute power of money, banks, greed, politicians. Ok, great.
It occurred to me that instead of getting worked up, let’s get down to work instead.
We’re stuck in a mire. Where are we heading?
Wherever we’re led. If that’s in the wrong direction, tough luck.
I’m sorry, but if it’s in the wrong direction, you have to swim against it.
Be like a salmon and swim against the tide.
I reiterate: it’s time to stop staring at our navels all day, every day.
It’s time to stop twiddling your thumbs. For all you medical students here…,
and those who understand anatomy - when you flex your head to look down,
you only thing you see is your navel. It’s a question of anatomy.
I can’t hear laughter, so luckily most people here don’t do this.
I’m pleased about that.
The world is full of people with no scruples, yet who seem likeable.
Why? Because if you have no scruples, you’d better be nice with it.
If you’re lazy it’s better to try to be likeable as well.
If you’re both lazy and a nasty person, you have zero chance of success.
So we’re demanding certain things; things which are admirable today,
as they were a hundred years ago and which will still be 100 years hence.
I have to stress this - Don’t use hollow words.
It’s important to train for your profession, look for opportunities to really excel,
and then get truly involved in your profession.
This is a university forum, so it means preparing yourself for a profession, nothing else.
Just because the likeable, yet lazy, unscrupulous cheaters are so popular
doesn’t mean that they are actually good role models to follow.
The problem is that children are following this role model, or even worse ones.
If you’re a half-wit, with all due respect.
If you’re basically a half-wit, functionally illiterate…,
or are a contestant on the latest Big Brother show,
you probably won’t become famous, but you’ll get paid lots of money.
We’re all bombarded constantly with this stuff. Is this our goal in life?
The most likely way to get your rewards…
is by investing all the effort you can.
If you don’t make much effort, you might win the lottery,
but the odds of winning the lottery are slim.
A person who can’t read and write, but who can play football...,
when he’s interviewed, he just talks a load of old…
It seems ridiculous that football players are interviewed at all.
Just let them play football for God’s sake, don’t make them speak too.
football is football. It’s about the goals. You have to wait 'til the end of the game
Yeah, right.
But let’s not fall into the trap of saying that politicians should…
Let’s face it, politicians do *** all, pardon my French.
Well, they do some things, obviously, but if we get into saying…
that politicians should be doing this or that. I’ll believe it when I see it.
It’s just wishful thinking.
They say, leave me in peace and let’s change the subject
and talk about something else because I’m feeling uncomfortable.
Of course, the world is irreparable and impossible to change.
Humans are completely beyond repair.
I’d like to be more optimistic, but it’s impossible.
Humans are basically lying, thieving, lazy, good-for-nothings chimps.
All this in a clean shaven, well-dressed package.
This is the illusion we’re giving. Very few people do anything decent.
