00:00Ambition is a very stale thing. It's a dead thing.

00:04Do not forget where it comes from. It comes from your past in the jungle.

00:11And social forces just encourage you to be even more desirous

00:15of the same things that you have been wanting since a million years.

00:19Same things. Let's do something new.

00:22As young people, no? Or do you want to live the same life

00:25that your ancestors in the jungle were living?

00:27The monkey wanted a fruit, you want an orchard.
