Barack Obama discusses finding joy and purpose at work with Ira Glass

One more actual tale: A wise chemistry professor in Kansas once passed on sage advice to a young student looking for someone to help with actual good advice for living life, & I have found it as true today as then, “Find those who like you for /who you are.” He said it with kindness and compassion for a kid being regularly abused without any real role models to turn to, & I never forgot it. I hope it helps President Obama when he feels down (if he didn’t already know that one) ♥️

[@zackoscar8858]

“Find those who like you for who you are “ It’s an advice you give to young ppl when they’re still naive and unaware of what’s coming ahead. As time goes by, you’ll need to find those who don’t like you and challenge you, and against your usual stream, your boat need to be shaken up and down, left and right. It’s the toughest thing that really bring about the maturity you see it around you on elder ppl, and those you admire as role models.

Ira didn’t do the best job on this. He was star struck by Obama, and despite Obama trying to nudge him to calm down and focus on listening to the interviewees, he didn’t. His questions to the single mum focused on how amazing it must have been to have a famous man talk to her, and his jittery interruptions of all attendees (including Obama) were disruptive. When they tried to share details about their jobs he cut them off and said ‘percentages please !!” And only wanted to hear about the part they didn’t like! What?

[@jbrkjferkjbekjb]

never listen or at least be hesitant to follow when a wealthy person tells you to not be obsessed about wealth

[@aronsium4714]

Never listen to a wealthy person is a little too strict. Probably don't be guillible to politicians. Obama doesn't fit in the first category though bec he was a non wealthy social worker in Chicago before he became a wealthy and privileged person. He knows about social issues. Whether you agree with his Presidency is a different story

@@gskgregor of course, hence i said to be "hesitant" before following, not to not follow at all. in obama's case he has vested interest in people not placing as much emphasis on wealth due to his previous policies. also he appears less than forthright regarding how his booklist comes about.

When considering dignity, many employees are treated 'alright' on the job. No person should be collecting a paycheck and living on the street; they need housing security that isn't detrimental to their health. This is where we continue to see disparities in value. Do people choose to be democratically poor? Toddlers are taught to aspire to reach the pinnacles of society, yet there is a completely different attitude to being employment disenchanted with 'just to pay the bills' work. More balance needed. Regarding this documentary, are your background workers paid? The hidden and the recognized in terms of dignity and value.
