    This video has literally changed my life. Gave me the courage to take my first sabbatical which led me to a life i never would have had otherwise. Focus on what you want (thrive) rather than what you have (survive)

    I took a 9-month sabbatical 3 years ago to study a master and some side courses, and it landed me a new job with 25% more salary in a company closer to my values and interests. I recovered the investment in less than a year and now I am considering a second sabbatical but this time to do art full-time

      Ditto Alfredo. Took a 6 month sabbatical and got the job of my dreams at a 50% hike. And put me on a much better path in life.

    I don't know if I'd say only the elite would benefit. A lot of professionals would see a benefit through sabbatical. I know university professors are often encouraged to do so, and they are not exactly elite. I can see it also being useful for engineers and teachers as someone else mentioned.
    I agree with you that it's not for everybody, but I also think it's for more than just the elite.

    • @ytwanderer1
      @ytwanderer1 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Many people who eventually became elite (later) in life took a sabbatical in their foundation years (e.g. Steve Jobs)

    that's the problem with some people, they don't see it so they immediately think it would be worthless.
    For example, imagine what a stupid idea it would be, to open a site where users can upload videos, share comment and rate them, completely for free.

      Takes courage but you can do this even if your company does not support it. Attitudes towards sabbatical are much healthier today than it was when this video first came out (or when I took my 1st sabbatical in 2013)

    This only applies to the creme of the crop IE people whom are the elite that serve in elite industries and professions. There was a similar video done a while back by TED on how bonuses don't motivate good results in every field of work. I agree with the premise, but let's get real here we're talking about maybe 1% of the population who's good elite enough to benefit from these scenarios.

    no they weren't, and not for free.
    It you are saying there was a similar service to youtube prior to 2005, you are just not aware of things.
    You are quick to do bogus claims and false assertions about almost everything someone throws at you, I see.
    Just the stereotype of the young kid that thinks he knows it all.
    I could give you a decent argument as why free time could be valuable to any job. But what would be the point of that, right?

  • @Tzadeck
    @Tzadeck 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    I haven't read whatever the argument you're having, but I thought mentioning your IQ also went out with grade school. I'm even pretty sure that it didn't work back then, much less now.

  • @kriptonis
    @kriptonis 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    My iq test result was 172, and my psychological profile was "word warrior". But I don't really care for those stupid tests. IQ tells nothing about a person.
    I have red your comments, seen your profile and favourites, and decided I don't what to give you an explanation, because no matter what I say you will never admit I'm right. So as I said, what's the point? At your current state of mind, you actually believe a designer is more of a person than a cashier ... good luck with that.

  • @majinspy

    An alternate idea is I used to be like you and the penance this is the penance I've given myself. I have no doubt that the world COULD be as you describe it, but the majority of people don't want to put up with it.
    It's actually good that people like you are as open and honest about how they really don't give a damn about people....it makes it easier for us liberals to care a little less when your taxes go up. (if you are indeed one of the elites you worship, however unlikely that is.)

    You obviously have not lived in the real world at all. This myth of huge tracts of the country living with infinite welfare is nuts. The idea that the vast majority of people don't use what the government gives them is nuts. How many have used GI bills, pell grants, and low-interest loans to achieve heights in education? How many have used medicare and social security to live into old age with dignity? Pure intellectual theorizing punctuated by black and white thinking just isn't serious.
