RE: What Mr. Meeseeks Can Teach Us: Purpose Is Meaning
I don't know what to say... I don't have a TV.
However, helping out anyone is often impossible. As a number of things have to coincide in order for that help to help.
- They have to know what they want.
- They have to be able and willing to change.
- They have to be able to accept the outcomes.
Without these things, you are just wasting your time, no matter how good you are at doing things or fixing problems.
I don't "watch TV" either. Rather, I have the internet. :D
Knowing what you want to change is the most important step, which is demonstrated by Jerry, who just wants to fit in and act like he wants to change without really knowing what to change.
It's an important quality, that -- knowing what you want. It's surprisingly rare in the modern world, it seems.
Well, we've had hollywood messing with our heads for better than half a century.
Everybody wants to be CEOs, and nobody wants to pick crops.
Most people that dream of being a hollywood star, really just want people to notice them.
Further, what should be part of highschool... maybe all of highschool. Forget the calculus; have batteries of aptitude tests coupled with people actually talking about what they do in their field. Because, what we have right now is that we have a mockery of what any field does, based off of hollywood.
Cops don't go bust the bad guys and save the day. Cops write tickets for speeding, and bust punks for drug possession. Until you are known to not rat out your fellow cop, then you move into drug distribution.
