Transcript

All of us spend so much of our lives

trying to make our future selves happy.

We don't stop to ask, "Is it possible that in 20 or 30 years,

our future selves are going to ask us,

"What made you possibly think that that is what I would want?".

We don't imagine, fundamentally, that we're going to have

a different outlook or a different perspective,

that we're going to be different people.

If you accept the idea that you're going to be a different person

in 30 years' time,

you should play an active role

crafting the person you are going to become.

You should be the curator of your future self.

You should be the architect.

Expand your horizons,

because you're going to become someone different,

you might as well be in charge of deciding

who that person is going to be.
