Summary
To have your eyes on the throne is to free yourself from slavery. My version of slavery was at my first ever job where I was tasked with organizing, itemizing, and filing papers. I did this over and over again until finally, at the end of three months, I put all the papers in the boxes, loaded them in the truck, and delivered the project. When we unloaded the boxes and got to the office, they told us they already had the digital copies, and they threw all the work directly into the dumpster.

To have your eyes on the throne is to free yourself from slavery.
00:00:08.380
My version of slavery was at my first ever job where I worked at a printing company.
00:00:13.040
I was tasked with organizing, itemizing, and filing papers.
00:00:19.580
I did this over and over again until finally at the end of three months,
00:00:23.000
I put all the papers in the boxes, loaded them in the truck, and delivered the project.
00:00:27.160
When we unloaded the boxes and got to the office, they told us they already have the digital copies,
00:00:33.240
and they threw all of the work directly into the dumpster.
00:00:37.640
I looked at my co-worker ready to fight someone, but he just shrugged and got back into the truck.
00:00:45.660
But on that long car ride back to the company, I kept thinking,
00:00:49.120
was he not mad at all of his work literally being burned away?
00:00:53.020
Are this many people really content with being a stationary, useless employee?
00:01:00.800
My co-worker had stability, but he wasn't looking to grow.
00:01:06.240
I physically couldn't work without being ambitious,
00:01:09.560
without a greater sight, a mission, a path to autonomy and loyalty.
00:01:13.420
Just the right amount of crazy is enough to separate you from the pack and become successful,
00:01:20.240
become special, and say something different that other people aren't saying.

The use of the word throne has been in the decline since the 1800s until 1986.
00:01:37.460
Because now anyone can take the throne if they really want to.
00:01:46.840
But now the throne isn't a dream in my life anymore.
