And when he cannot afford this, he literally shakes, he feels directly bad
that he doesn’t have this, as if his life has failed. Although the person has
everything, but he needs all this “cool” stuff, in quotation marks, “cool”.
I give examples to this employee and say:

— You know, if I take even my friends now, and me included, then all sorts
of my friends and acquaintances who are, let’s say, stupider, poorer, their
requests are much hungrier and more aggressive than mine. And for this
reason, nothing is given to them in life. They eternally want everything the
coolest. And this, as they say, is that a titmouse in the hand is better than
a crane in the sky. Here it is exactly about this.

And I tell this to the employee. I say:

— Do you know how many acquaintances I know who have these ambitions,
inflated requests, that it is as if they eternally want to jump over their heads,
they represent nothing of themselves, that is, their level of development is a
three, but they want everything at a ten. And I am at a level of development of
a nine, but I want everything at a five. Imagine what a paradox, how strangely
we all differ from each other and how we behave. Here you, I don’t want to
offend you, don’t want to belittle you, but you must understand, you must
for once already soberly, without illusion, realize your position: who you are,
how old you are, and what you represent. And you must, you understand,
want — although generally it is better not to want at all — but if you want
to want something, you must want it according to your capabilities. But you
remind me of schoolchildren who shout that ‘I will buy myself a Ferrari’,
and ‘I will buy myself an island’. And on what basis do they have these
desires? It must be justified by something. There must be some logic. And I
was always surprised that a person who cannot even open a cafe, figuratively
speaking, catering, a small cafe, just a stand on the street, a stall, but shouts
about how he wants a chain of restaurants. And in the end, so all their lives
these people in theory shout about all this and want all this, years pass,
time goes away, and they have not allowed themselves anything, but always
chased after all this impossible because of this greed of theirs and the desire
to eternally want something.
