00:00:00.000 If you're 15, 16, 17 years old, f**k your grades.

00:00:04.300 School literally is designed to make you think

00:00:07.020 that your biggest strength is your biggest weakness.

00:00:09.840 It does not get you ready for success.

00:00:12.240 It teaches you how to stay stuck.

00:00:14.520 It teaches you how to sit there and f**king listen

00:00:16.920 and memorize things and repeat yourself like a parrot.

00:00:20.340 It literally teaches you to be ready to be controlled

00:00:22.840 by other people in the future.

00:00:24.180 It keeps you thinking inside the box

00:00:26.460 instead of going way outside of it

00:00:28.360 to create new s**t in the world.

00:00:30.000 because they don't want you to think what i care about for my kids is that they have emotional

00:00:34.400 intelligence that they're good human beings that they have character that when they meet somebody

00:00:38.960 new they look them in the eyes they ask them their name then they can read the room nobody's going to

00:00:43.680 tell you this but the biggest opportunities are going to come those that other people like not

00:00:47.920 Not those that can memorize some f***ing fact from the 1800s about some king that's dead.
