Transcript

Nietzsche had the great line on resentment. He said if you think someone's ruined your life, you're right. It's you. That's a mic drop, isn't it? A great line. And you know, the cure for that, definition of entitlement, which is where you are now and where you want to be, if you want to do something about it, that's ambition. Where you are now, where you want to be. If you think someone else's problem, that's entitlement. If we're honest, there's always a little bit of that going on in my industry. There's a lot of people in my industry that their career isn't where they think it should be. Oh, I need a new agent. Really? That might be the problem. I remember there's a great story of David Tell, he's sort of the comedian's comedian. And these guys backstage were like moaning about their management. And he's overhearing that conversation's going on too long. And he just, well, be funnier. Very simple. Thing of going, what's the thing to be doing?
