Tapesript:
Children's education is changing very rapidly today. In the past, teachers made children sit still for hours. They made them memorize all sorts of things. Today, many teachers wonder if it is not possible to make children learn at all. They say they can only help them to discover things for themselves. For some children, school is a kind of prison. They are at school only because their parents make them go. They get out of the classroom as soon as the teachers let them leave. Many of them want to find jobs but the law does not let them work until they reach a certain age. And so, they have to stay in school. Often they all hate every moment.

Nhớ rằng tôi sẽ chết, đó là công cụ quan trọng nhất tôi từng có để giúp mình thực hiện những lựa chọn lớn trong cuộc đời. Bởi vì hầu hết tất cả mọi thứ
tất cả những hy vọng phù phiếm, lòng kiêu hãnh, nỗi sợ mất mặt hay thất bại
tất cả những thứ này sẽ mờ nhạt đi khi ta đối diện với cái chết, chỉ để lại điều gì thật sự quan trọng. Nhớ rằng bạn sẽ chết, đó là cách tốt nhất tôi biết để tránh cái bẫy suy nghĩ rằng bạn vẫn còn thứ để mất. Bạn thực chất chẳng có gì. Không có lí do để không đi theo trái tim.
Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
