2019 - ''AI can not be creative.''
2022 - AI: Hold my beer...
the purpose of life is to be happy and to make some others happy too. Basically to have fun here but also care about others. So dont forget to give love to the people you care. And also take care of your health and body this will help you to perform better at your job and live healthier and happier life
This is key.
I feel totally out of place because it seems being a workaholic is fashionable or something to brag about or to be expected these days. It makes me look bad when I don't reply to emails out of working hours but others do, even though it is my right not to check my emails outside the job.
its ok, work hard !
When I hate my job I disengage just before I clock out. When I wake up in the morning and think "Is it home time yet?" I know the job isn't stimulating. I will only do what is expected at a place like that. Maybe it's not the place for you.
Yeah crazy, like its a medal of honor to overwork. I'd rather do more travelling :)
Great talk Dr. Kau-Fu and amazing story!
Thank you for sharing this! Was very good
Good reflective talk
Beautiful
Brilliant
The irony of all of this is that even those who don't work as hard run a risk of getting cancer too. Unfortunately for them, without the reward offered by your workaholism, being money, they are most likely not to survive it given inability to afford healthcare.
This was sooo nice to hear
Great talk!
Gary Vaynerchuk for example seems to be a rising motivational guru. Now I respect this guy but his advice is to work like a dog. He spent about 14 years from 20 on working fourteen to sixteen hours a day and now is a mega millionaire. My question is this : is that really worth it? This week I am advising something to my subscribers which I call "controlled laziness." Because if you want to increase your assets you can learn to invest well and it isn't that hard to manage once you have your strategy. But I'm not a fan of the eighty hour work week. For example, I am a contract physical therapist who can make 100K a year. But if I opened a clinic I could probably double that. And have an extra 30 hours a week running a business. They can have that. And that is my point. You can become successful and still become wealthy with smart investing and not sacrifice your life like Gary V does. You have one spin on earth as far as we know. You want to achieve greatness in all your planes--not just on the time clock. Hope this helps someone out there---Charles.
Everybody's meaning of life is different. And if you were to ask him he would tell you that he doesn't regret anything. This is a great talk but it is also one person's And I always find it interesting that people who are ultra successful or ultra wealthy only come to these magical epiphanies after they have achieved their life goal. Wealth cannot buy happiness but poverty cannot buy anything. The sacrifices we have made come at a cost but there is a reward. His wife never left him likely cuz she liked being with a successful man. His kids were probably estranged from him but somehow simultaneously proud that their dad was making such a massive impact. There's lots of guys giving their wives lots of attention but are not particularly ambitious and their wives leave them for it. More often than you would like to believe. I have friends whose fathers were not hardworking or ambitious people and they deeply resent them for it because they carry the same lack of passion in their own lives. This Ted talk, this speech I'm sure is enlightening and makes this man feel good. And maybe he didn't have to go as far as he did. but to pretend like hard work success achievement does not in fact secure love attachment etc for men is a joke. Women and children are loved for who they are, men are loved for what they provide and achieve. This is the way of the world and nothing is fair. All we can do is accept
The best way to become rich is to be born rich. But the psychiatrists fees are a bummer, and if you are a workaholic and spent a lifetime with nothing productive to do, you would certainly need a psychiatrist.
Such an inspiring talk! 💙
Amazing reflexion about work life balance, even though it may sound foolish, I am only in my mid twenties, but I am already thinking about how much should I work, when to rest, how long and how often.
I got sometimes problems with balacing that for my own, but I believe that 60 hour weeks (including weekends of course) should be alright
Thats too much, 60h
So true.
I agree about the social status, I would love to work outdoors, cleaning beaches, in forests or cutting grass but the class system people have in their minds would make me feel like a loser. I have an office job in international relations and I hate it.
I'm sorry you are living this valuable time of the life you have being unhappy because of what others think. When your life end you leave here with nothing.
Why not start a grass cutting company? Be a hands-on boss. Work at what makes you happy while having the benefits of ownership. Go around town, land a few commercial lawn cutting contracts. Purchase some 2nd hand equipment, hire a few guys, and go to work. You could start with 10K. This is the reality of our capitalist system. Either you use it, or you get used by it. Peace. :)
Fuck them people, find a way to do what you love! Work on yourself, start loving yourself more and then you wont care about other opinions anymore
Follow your dream, and don't let anyone steal it.
I need to become a workaholic. Workaholism is a good thing.
Be careful, because being a workaholic can if unchecked have the side effect of making you very wealthy.
Don’t worry as an ex partner of a workaholic you can just ignore the emails of your loved ones to balance it out.
I'm trying to become a workaholic. You needed to be ignored if you didn't want to value hard work.
❤️❤️❤️🙏
I get so caught up in work nowadays
I command you.
AI Can be creative.
Experience with pessimistic attitude. Over all optimistic for pessimistic persons.
"Capitalism tricks people into believing life is about work" - wow
Socialism is also way worse
I think therefore I am. I am therefore I work.
Interesting take on the AI. However it assumes that there is something magical about being human. I'm not gonna say whether it is or not, but consider this: The most popular music nowadays is not made by artists per se but rather by a set of people with PhDs in psychology and socioengineering, and then performed by some celebrity. I mean, sure, old people might refuse to use support bots, but thats peak of an iceberg. For example, how could you tell the book you read weren't made by human if AI was advanced enough? Thats not a bad thing though. If we let AI do everything and not create dystopia in the process (by implementing basic income for instance), then all of us could do things only because we want to. Now that sounds like a paradise to me.
Ouff this is a real disease...
What is?
So basically we make AI our slaves and become the movie Wall-E
We make AI our slave so that we can all become bums and take up making art.
Soo you were acting like a working new mom every day for 5 to 10 years? Now you know what it's like to have kids every two years for a few years 🙄. Why do think theres been a huge revolt? We need more of a work life balance. We want to spend time with loved ones while they are living. We want to pursue hobbies also...which equals happiness.
So, AI is to replace humans so that humans don't have to work to define what makes us humans? I disagree.
I need to become a workaholic to get away from humans.
