00:00 The goal today is to run 6 km.

00:03 You are 55 kgs, the neighbor is 95.

00:05 Sir, don't ape his goal.

00:08 His goal is suitable, not to you.

00:10 You rather go to some cafe and get a sound breakfast.

00:14 That's what you need, 55 kgs.

00:16 But we copy others' goals.

00:17 We act as if there is a universal criteria of success.

00:20 We never look at ourselves and ask, "Who am I?" and therefore, "What do I need?"

00:25 That question is never, never raised in our classrooms.

00:28 Who are you?

00:29 That word is entirely missing from our curricula.

00:32 Self, self.

00:33 You are taught mathematics and management and engineering, science, languages, polity,

00:38 sociology, literature.
