The Problem

December 20, 2009 180 Comments

I hit the streets of New York City for my web talk show to ask this very question: why the hell aren’t you doing what you said you wanted to when you were a kid? How do dreams die so easily in our culture? Why do people give up on what they want? I think it’s probably because of good, old-fashioned laziness. You might think you want to be a lawyer when you’re a kid, but you don’t really realize how much work and schooling that involves. Once you find out, it’s accounting department clerk for you, thanks! Or, you grow out of childish desires. An astronaut might sound like a fun job to a 10-year old, but it’s actually a grueling, nausea-inducing kind of weirdo occupation. You’ll take financial advisor for $80K? Cool. I get it. But somehow, I still find it a bummer. Because there is quite a large part of the population in our society that just gives up on their dreams for lots of lame reasons. You only live once. I think it’s really important to try to live it as you can picture it in your wildest imagination. The people in this social humor video for my web talk show had some really great reactions to the question and a lot of great advice to stay the course. So what did you want to be, and are you working toward achieving it?

    There is a difference between having a dream and “what would you like to be when you grow up” when you were 6. Witht hat said most people give up their dream because in their dream they offer or do something exceptional (sing, play sports, w/e) where as it’s much easier to do what everyone else does.
