00:00If you cannot be dedicated 100% to the one thing in life, it is not worth living.
00:07Balance is not something good.
00:09This concept of balance comes from the point of industrial revolution.
00:14Now, industrial revolution threw up a lot of jobs that were inherently soul-sapping.
00:20So, for example, in a factory, you are just standing by an assembly line and inspecting goods as they pass by.
00:27And what's your job 8 hours of the day?
00:29To keep looking at goods and if one of them is not proper, then you pull it out.
00:33Now, this kind of job is something no sane man can live with.
00:37It will kill you.
00:38Maybe you can do it for 2 days, 4 days, a month.
00:40But if you are told to do it for 20 years, how will you live?
00:43So, the concept of work-like balance came in.
00:45You can say, alright, I tortured myself for 8 hours in the job.
00:49But in return of that, I got some money.
00:51And using that money, I bought a vacation.
00:53And in the vacation, I had fun.
00:55So, see, there was a balance.
00:56There was torture and there was fun and they were balanced.
