00:00There was this one passage from the Fountainhead.
00:03There are these two aspiring architects, Rourke and Peter Keating.
00:07And Keating is in the field of architecture just so that he may have a career.
00:11He really has no passion for architecture.
00:14Rourke is the exact opposite.
00:15He has so much passion for architecture that he expelled because he is just too good for them.
00:20And these two are meeting.
00:21Keating is at the height of professional success and Rourke is still struggling.
00:25Keating shows a particular painting to Rourke.
00:28With a lot of hesitation and he says, you know, this is something I made.
00:33And for the first time, Rourke sees something that Keating has made with love.
00:37Keating made a lot of sketches and designs and all those things that architects do.
00:42But there was never any love in it.
00:44Rourke sees that and he looks at Keating and he sees that there is raw passion here and also talent.
00:49He looks at the painting and with a lot of regret and pain, he tells Keating, too late.
00:54You have gone down the wrong road for just too long.
00:58Too late.
00:59This is where your passion lies.
01:01But you never would commit yourself to it because probably there is no money, no career in it.
01:05Don't let that happen to you.
01:07Don't move so far away that you can't even return or think of returning.
01:11Well, thank you for leaving.
01:12Let your family have king over here.
