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.
