Rick Warren : A life of purpose

Rick Warren at TED2006
A life of purpose  (transcript)
Summary
Doing something for myself is not a true purpose of life. It's not about myself. It's about making the world a better place.

Throw something that you have down. It means that your value is not based on your valuables. It's based on a whole different set of things. The purpose of influence is to speak up for those who have no influence.

I knew about the movie: The Ten Commandments that the speaker told us in the TED talk because I watched it with my father when I was a kid.
I only remembered that the movie was scary, all my friends didn't watch it thus I couldn't tell anyone about it, and then l kept it secret though now I understood.

That is the great and important movie that I watched with my father who died this year, even all my friends don't know it.

Throw human desires down, working for something that wires you hard is that you have to do.

The good life is not about looking good, feeling good or having the goods, it's about good and doing good. A life of purpose should be giving your life away to help other people and to make the world a better place.
