How could he do that with no training, with no 30 years in the industry or anything like that?
That's the sort of thing that if you go back to the LinkedIn resume, that's the sort of thing that I think people don't know about because I didn't know about it.
That's probably what he defined as success.
What drove him crazy was watching people just struggling and working five, six days a week in factories or on the farm or whatever to pay bills, just like we do now.
That's where the other quote, the mass of men's lives are lived in quiet desperation, but they don't know how to get out of it.
So what he was trying to say with your quote is there's another way to look at this.
In the first chapter of Walden,
He talks about what he calls the necessaries of life.
Not the necessities, but the necessaries.
That was his word.
And he's looking at things like clothing, for example, and saying, how much clothing do we, how many shirts do we need?
How many pants do we need?
That sort of thing.
And looking at that.
And so it's like, if you feel like you need 20 pairs of shoes and 20 pairs of pants, et cetera, you're going to have to get some money to pay for that.
But he felt that in order to really be successful, you could have much less stress, feel much more at one with the universe around you, and spend time on things that you might care about more than some job that's on an assembly line, and let those things go that you need the money for.
So that was a work-life balance approach to things.
But it's not something that's easy to do, but he was able to do it pretty well.
He's certainly a good example of doing it, but it doesn't mean we're all going to run out and live in a cabin for two years and just have only one pair of pants.
There's nobody that's a better standard bearer of quiet and our natural sounds
