Status is a very, very bad barometer.
A lot of people are using status or using fame or power or money because they don't want to look at the truth.
They don't want, it's like looking into the sun of something.
And a lot of people will make big mistakes for a long time as a result of that.
Like they're doing something they don't, that's not their calling.
And that burns them out.
I don't like it, but they should like it.
It's paying so much.
They should like it.
They got so many followers for Pete's sake, but they're unhappy.
That's what people need to be paying attention to.

I wonder how many people sit in that bucket.

I meet a lot.
I meet a lot.
Look, I teach at a big business school.
I meet a lot of people who honestly think that they go into business school thinking, I will find my calling here.

No, no, no, no.
