Well, let's start with the first parts, okay motivation and sense of life. And the first two things. So you're frichti gradiated or you plan to be or you just in your carrier for a couple of years or even later on, but you want to change for example, you are in the, I don't know, medicine era in and you want to change to orientate to another background industry. Very important things is the first two aspects and the two extreme aspects the first one and that this is always what I say to my students even for me, why is the second best in the world in in France equivalent of the prestigious Cambridge sorry, this one is not because you have this diploma, that's the people will roll up the red carpets, okay, not everything is done thanks to your diploma because first within a diploma there is different grades different stages okay according to what your investments I saw a lot of let's say alumni colleagues in my own business school for them it was a true features to integrate the business school because usually if you're not too bad you have your diploma but there is different degree of investment to people they were always party okay never incurs never absorbing the knowledge and so on at the people are always part of something an investment Association and so on and so forth.

This is you see the difference personally I remember and I was always one on here for doing the presentation for instance so of course at the end then in the group of five people if someone were was sleepy Yeah, of course we had the same mark. Okay, apparently isn't fair. But at the end, when I studied my carrier, when I was 24, Krishna gradiated. I had some conference every month in Dusseldorf, it was like un, okay, United Nation. And I was defending the professional case of France, which was unique for MIT whole, its whole word they want you to duplicate and even to enlarge this perspective. And actually, I was delete buyer for that.

So it means that every month in Dusseldorf, I had my old colleagues from India, from Pakistan from different countries of the world, and we two or three people, so it was like, an audience of 100 people. I did also some complaints, URI of 500 people. So I was prepared for that, thanks to the experience and the investment I gave or for it in my own, okay, not for my diploma because the lien is the same diploma. Okay, so this is extremely important. So, all depends on your own investments. This is important and Analyze don't see what's doing the neighboring zone you don't care to for you in that state and there is a natural Hayward of life second aspect is another extremity not everybody will waiting for you not everybody is worrying about the right counter but second aspect in volatile that yes is a matter of fact for example for Europe I know that Northern America is a little bit less affected by that.

But this is the crisis Yeah, and if you watch the mainstream media This is bad and it's worse and the we don't find some solution and so on. Okay, fine. So what do we do? We stop everything we don't enterprise and so not not at all. This is a crisis It is a matter of fact I cannot deny Okay, I gave her so course of finance or idea so I know a little bit how the system and the financial system is organized and isn't because I'm teaching in favor of it. After my curse, most of the student don't want to work in it anymore.

Okay, how to defend melter let's see what they say that you understood. Well, what I mean by is this is the crisis is a matter of fact, but there is still latitude there is still leeway is for the people who are motivated. Life is a struggle. Definitely. Okay. Darwinism is right for at least or system.

It is based like this. You don't obtain anything like this. Except if you are amazingly talented, but even talented. You can add firstly talented, but at least you need a bit of investment, let's say training and so on so far. But what I mean thereby is you can make the differentiation and essentially within the crisis because a lot of people are gloomy. They're just think that it's it's impossible to do things and so on.

So they are like, okay, very invasive and veggie table, they are just okay, waiting for the fate and so now the fates there you have different fates. Okay. So according to you there is different paths and the same moment, but it's only up to you. So this is what we're seeing them the notion of dynamism to your carrier orientation. This is really important. But once again, it is can be an opportunity that the crisis not because of the crisis, because everybody, a lot of people think that it's very hard and is complex and they give a blood basic.

So don't give up. Be sure about what you can bring to the people in a certain market and so on. Well, one important thing, and what is your definition of success? I really via radio, little bits, my definition of success. And I would like to think a little bit from your side and I imagine that you already think about it. So the key of success, okay, the key of success in the golden way.

So, I will not reply to this question because you only have your own keys to open up your doors because there is different doors as much as there is individually. So, one thing I can suggest is three liter. Let's say, springboard to to reflection. The first one is through this person that everybody knows I mentioned, Mr. Steve Jobs. Okay, so you can appreciate the joke. He did a good job.

Okay. Jobs, Steve Jobs. Yes. So, the key question in black and whites. Why? Most of the people and the is a few books here in China.

And when I arrived in 2010, I saw a lot of people watching, reading sorry, the biography of Mr. Steve Jobs because 60 students one, but now just want one thing a lot of people think is like I call them fruit of success and so Matter of fact lots of money is and so on billion sorry, the accountants one but just one thing. And it's not a judgment. It is factual and referring, I'm not talking about the what you can see if you read his biography, or if you watch the movie and so on. The fact that apparently the testimony in his environment, not necessarily the best one, because they say that he was not an example of good human beings, but doing an abstraction of that. Just the fact that he apparently recognize on his death bed, that he missed his life. Okay, we can see the repentance made, which is always possible at the last minute.

But what I mean thereby is just he say that he missed his life because he was not present with his family. He didn't establish really social fabric with people. And he regretted that. So my question is, is is still successful for you? I have my reply. But is it still successful?

Is it happy now with the fruit of his money when his golden coffin is a little bit extreme? What I'm saying and once again, is not to, let's say a judgement, but just an appeal to the good sense. This is my first aspect and first key existing, existing question. Okay, so let's continue with my second example regarding the notion of success and this is once again as being To reflection, this is the story of multi billionaires from us working in his own company is the CEO of a very successful company as lots of billions and so on USD and so on. And he's living in Chicago and every year is only taking only two weeks vacation, any love regularly to go to Cuba. So he goes every time and he spent a lot of time by observing the fishermen because he loved that is cuddling him and so on.

One day is just to sit down with one of them. And he's thought to to establish a little conversation with a guy and he asked how many fish he's taking every day. So the fisherman reply him, the ending of the day, depending on the nature and so on. Okay, the guy replied, on average, then is asking him How many hours is working? The guy replied depending of the day depending on the mood sometimes five sometimes six hours, but it's really up to me and according to my family, everybody and someone if I meet a friend of mine on the on the way we are discussing a drink of coffee, this kind of thing. This is the thing.

The guy stopped to be silence, the seal. And after a while, yes, okay, but let's imagine if you were working just for a wide double of your time, like 12 hours, okay, you will duplicate your number of fish, okay. Even if you're working during your wine during the night, you will have more fish even very quickly. You can buy small bark, smaller boats, and like this, you can have a lot of Moria fishes. And then very quickly you could with this money, you could require some One and a second one and maybe a so on mine the second boat and so on. And the guy stopped to be super exciting because it's linked to growth and so on the fisherman just by provocation stop it interrupted and he said to him, yes, you're right and then the end I could be like you and just coming two weeks per year.

So think and let's meditate on that. Okay. Second. The second little story that I invented is the Garden of Eden story. So this is a restaurant in in Italy in the scanner. And actually we have the guy was in great restaurants, very famous in the scan.

You can see the picture a wonderful place and he loves what he does. Okay, his passion eight we have the food and Mackenzie is really an artist in what he's doing is a poet. The food and he really loved that. Okay is earning the equivalent of $10,000 nets every month. Okay? Yes.

10 Tables, okay. Yeah 10 tables, and it's super successful is booked three months in advance wonderful landscape. Two people are just in heaven when they go there and they love that and then it's like a symphony, okay. And he loved that the communication and the communion with his guests. They're here everything is good and everybody's happy and so on the good world of mouse and swan. Every year is earning the same amount of money next year you will earn 10,000 USD nets okay.

And in a after two years 10,000 net and after three years 10,000 net, okay, if you're a purist in the financial dimension, with the inflation, you will increase a little bit just to match with the inflation. Okay let's say put a period okay so 10,500 10,000 11,000 and so on okay, but just what I mean there is there is a there is no growth okay? So if tomorrow and is living like the name of his restaurant the Garden of Eden is living in a paradise okay Everything is fine is he has the chance to work from just nine hours a day yes two days of vacancy every area let's say we can every week he can go on early days where wherever we want to get it because he can afford it four times a year. So is perfectly normally. In a second case this is on the financial dimension.

So some investors arrive in the in his restaurant in the company and you say to him, I'm sorry, but you Three months people on the in the pipe for booking So, you should enlarge you your your tables you should have the double like this you can observe and you are making more profits okay? Because from their point of view stagnation is bad is badly perceived. So, the suggestion and impose in certain way like they are the shareholders now to have 20 different types. So, what does it means, it means that he is obliged to work more and more efficiently and more rapidly in Swan, you need to recruit some new stuff. Iris I written that Iris I danger as well. Okay, so, and maybe the selection are not always good and time to train people take times, of course, and step by step, we can see a certain, let's say change in the physiognomy of the room.

Strength and atmosphere in, in the cuisine and so on the kitchens and start to be really stressful because some people are doing that. So the dishes are writing, for example, the half hour separately to burn, not enough cook and so on suffering some people start to complain and the good atmosphere start to change is obliged to fire some people. He's starting to, to be really under pressure to drain for instance, and his efficiency is affected and this is the spiral, the negative spiral and after a while is completely leaving in hell. Okay, so the two option Why am precise. That's my key question regarding the success and the notion that I link to the happiness Do we need to have systematically a growth this is what we have been taught. Since our China road.

Yeah, in my company, we are in growth. But do you think that we need to eat our portion of food increase every month, every year? Now, to be frank with you, we have enough no depth enough. That's why we are sharing that's why we kind of invest dinos or environment or their perspective of development or other projects, charity and so on. But just one key question is it's what do we want some money sometimes and so on? This is the good balance, I would like you to question yourself, okay.

So let's have a look on this dimension because regarding our system, and you really need to go on the to be a trader on the stock market to be to be facing this kind of issue or dimension. The fact that the stagnation is badly perceived. Okay, so if the more your buyer and you can have a look on this, these charts be guaranteeing the different option, option one, option two. If for example, you're in charge of IT departments, okay, the year 2015 16 and 17, we analyze your results your buyer project manager, and I am the buying director for instance. And you can be assured that in realities like this, for example, 2015 you're generating $100,000 turnover a margin, whatever it is just for the principle. The next year you're doing 100 a t. Okay, so upload very good cap cap cap, everybody's happy plus a t in terms of value plus 44%.

Okay, but the next year, you're doing 170 which means that in between 16 and here we can see 618 16 three, you you decrease your results, okay? It means that you did minus 10 in value, and he really shouldn't in between that minus that divided by that it is minus 5%. According to this criteria your boss will take told you is that his battery says what's going on? That's clear you need well and this year you did that. Okay? But if you can explain your figures, you can explain to your boss okay, but check this out if you nyes over two years, okay, if I compare 100 and 170 my I'm stealing in growth, it is plus 41 persons, okay, so the value is still plus 70.

And if you add all of that, okay, 100 plus, this is in total is 450. Okay, first option, second option. You, you are doing 100 this 2000 a 15. And next year 120 and the in 2017, you're doing 140. Okay, so the first year you're doing plus 20 in value and plus 20% of evolution. And the second year in between 2016 and 17 year doing plus 14%.

Okay, so everybody's happy, you're still increasing. That's good. Cat Cat Cat uploads. And if we analyze this the total value you generated if it's more than For example, here, you remember it was 450. Here basic is 300 c 360. Okay, but in reality, you boss and the system is not a system.

We prefer that the shoulders whatever the demand is called the vaids on them, but this system preferred that Second option, then the first option Why? Because a good performance and after that, less good ABS performance is badly perceived because there is a recession and it is bad. So it's better. Let's imagine the products, it's better to do. I mean, the second option for the best option, not for the result, but for the best option, option two, then optional, very easy if it is your own business. In my personal case, of course, I prefer to do the option one, because Okay, and this year 2017 is a little bit less good than last year, but last year, it was excellent.

So this year is very good. So very good, this team good. You see what I mean. So in the second option, it is really the system point of view. So this is referring definitely to our system, the basis of our system, okay, and also what I'm calling the quadrature of the cycle because this is balancing qualitative versus quantitative growth okay. So, yeah, the growth is present in nature is no more Everything is there is an evolution in everything in the nature the trees and so on but the key question Do the trees can reach the sky, there is a limit to everything, but the system doesn't understand that point of view.

What I mean by with this opposition in Kota mark in between qualitative and quantitative growth, this is the fact that it is endless a lot of people are trying to to gather always and to get some more money always Okay, this is the reason why I put this little funny picture, which is Yeah, the notion of flight at the beginning of you carry a lot of people crush the great ad they want a lot of money. Then the middle of the carrier Mita path, still wants some more. Okay and at the end, game over. So what about you? This is the key question you only have the the reply. Well, this is referring to a quote that I want to share with you and which is really interesting from the Dalai Lama, which they the which they said the following.

What surprised me the most about humanity is man, he sacrifices health in order to make money. And then he sacrificed money to recuperate his health, and then is so anxious about the future that he doesn't enjoy the present. There is a being that it doesn't leave in the present of future. He lived as if he is never going to die, and then dies never even really lived everyday. invite you to many data on this key elements actually we are living in the current society is based It is called pleasure society and is based on pleasure and making the cold fusion definitely in between pleasure and happiness, just for you to visualize the big difference in between both pleasure is based on something external, okay? This is something that requires always more more growth, more money, more care more attention, more, more, more, they need more of more You see, so, and to, to catch and to find the, let's say, harmony and the good balance and the let's say the society, society when you eat enough.

It's very hard because there's endless happiness on the other way around is based on something inner. Okay, inside. He In word harmony, it means that it is not linked. It is not depending on the external environment, okay? It means that you have a bad event you're fired or whatever, it doesn't affect you stability is stability, let's say okay, it doesn't mean that you are not sensitive anymore. But at least you're stable.

And you maintain this harmony and you maintain this happiness. So this is totally different. And unfortunately, when I say we're in the pleasure society, it's actually it is a matter of fact, because we linked every must of our good moments to the materialistic dimension. Okay, I'm very sad life is unfair, because I cannot afford to buy the, the iPhone 12 which is making microwave or whatever you see, the thing that we didn't need in the past. You see what I mean? So just, I could Multiply the example like this, but just for you to visualize and the difference in between pleasure and happiness, pleasure could be compared to, let's say, candy cotton.

That's why I put these pictures. The Candy cotton is good is sweet, wonderful. And it's big when you see like this is bigger than the ad and the body of the kid. But after two hours, you feel empty, you see, so you need more more more like in the notion of frequency of conception, always, always and you never satisfied and you never filled. You see, you never reached fulfillment and fulfillment is interesting word performant you'll never fool because you always always more great easy compared to that when you have no more, let's say a way of feeding with good vegetables. scooter, let's say a food full of rich nutritional index, you eat on the lunchtime unique, you don't need more, it gives you a lot of energy, and you're fine up to six o'clock in the morning or seven o'clock Even so, and you don't need more you just well, so I hope you understand this analogy.

Well, one thing I advise you is from Einstein, who say the following if you want a happy life, title IDs are linked it to a porpoise, not people or think is very important. It doesn't mean that you are selfish. It doesn't mean that it means that it's better to bet on the project itself can be linked to the people but at least you're you have a certain kind of detachment and you're not dependent on people or things and so on is according to me very important. Well, why put that's and we're coming to the point step by step when I say the management of your professional life and personal life and I put this example that I call the tree of life, a tree, you can see only one part. Okay? So then it's up to you to visualize upstairs if it's for your personal life or personal or professional life.

For me, I think the Eden part is more your personal life and here the visible part is more your professional life. And I am showing that is because when you see the beauty of the external branching, okay, this is due to the roots, the solid roots and the health of the roots and it's really rare. Then some people good work here and so on exceptive the costs compensate, a lack of, but most of the time, the performance and the efficiency for your employees, for your manager or whatever, are better if you have a good balance. If you have a happy, harmonious private life, it allows you to have a good professional life and vice versa. Okay. Most of the time there is like a notion of resonance.

That's why I put this this notion of tree of life, this is important to have a good equilibrium, good balance in between both. It doesn't mean that it means thereby that not too much work, not too much only private things, okay? is important and for that, to have a good balance, you can say to yourself, yeah, it's easy to say but you have to have a good job. Yeah. And for that you have to define what you like. This is what we're going to see just after.

This is Important to see in the interest rate in our perception also in our education, we are perceiving the work and that's why I insist in the notion of choosing the notion of choosing something that you like is because work is perceived negatively okay. When you see even in the notion of a typology, in labor in for example, in a brew event or agoda Buddha means work and event means slave or even in in Latin language like French tobiah or in in Spanish, Portuguese or Italian or Romanian and so on the Latin language the the notion of work is linked to this is a pre show you here on the picture this is an instrument of torture this coming from Kripalu that Romanian used to work to use to torture people. So imagine in our consciousness, the impact of work. This is badly perceived in it even in English when you say labor when you save from something.

It is laborious, laborious, it's pejorative, you see, it's, it's the fruit of suffering, it's a pain. It's painful, is it? Okay, so, yeah, we aren't in a society. That's for the first time in the history because except to say the artists, the arts and crafts, the craftsmen and so on. For most of them, they used to like what they were doing the old humanity and till our century ago, they never choose okay. Most of them they were farmers.

And that said the life was not they were not working to live they were working to survive. And you can see this picture referring to the notion of control aspect van cog. I really like this this painting because what does it shows it shows an office probably in the Netherlands or France or wherever in summary nagus and you can feel the hotness and you can feel how good it is for them because life is like very hard hub conditions in winter in seminarian, for example, they just take it out the shoes, the shoes, they were not comfortable at this period. They're just resting resting on the on the shadow. It was amazing moments. You see what I mean?

So nowadays, we're like, for Westerners, of course and not everybody. Unfortunately, so far. Were in a certain sanitize life and we don't have this notion of very high hard physical dimension. Of course, once again, some of people have but I mean for the people who work in service, we are not confronted anymore to death. In the past you have only two choices you have essentially that's and then often craft then the evolution of the modern times. Okay?

We're hearing to champion okay showing her So the notion of fordism and all what I explained with the production course regarding the the system and the supply chain, for example, then the production lines all what the humans create as a moralist a new gun in a certain way, you see, you're just a piece of the machinery, you see. And for example, in the production line when I produce a textile in a visit, don't you think that I know half my state of mind that I don't, I don't keep in mind where I'm coming from my grandmother was work or for, for, for governments and my grandfather's were Former so I know where I'm from. But just it's very important to keep in mind always that the fact that in the modern times Yeah, at the extreme and recently because modern science is what is embracing the industrial revolution is in the middle of 19th century.

So it's quite recent is only one century in the house and this moment we add the choice in between worker in factories or essentially commerce, okay, so nowadays, why am I in system that we have the choice and we have the choice and very interesting things is definitely better to do something that we like when we can afford you can attend me Yes, it's true. And for that, we will see that there is always a way to finance yourself. But one thing obvious. I don't know any pride nobles who succeeded with saying I've been torture or I've been constrained and so I didn't like what I was doing now. Part of them I think, very important, the patient, the patient in what they were doing, and the patient is regarding what you like and for doing what you like, you need to define what you like and most of the people that don't know and this is what we're gonna see the strategy of flight.

We're referring to the the sentence and the quarter of Seneca, who say there is no favor on wind for the people who don't know where they are going.
