They're Not In Motion Accomplishing Their Own Dreams

Truly, I wouldn't want the job if it was given to me, and they've got so much of this talk about creating new jobs. I'm going to talk about TSA, the Transportation Security Administration.
I'm in the airport and I see these people, like bees or ants—they just swarm over, and they've got all these useless agents and there are people sitting there bored, and there are people chit-chatting.
I think, "Man, at this time of crisis in the U.S., we're not creating jobs! We're making jobs." Which is the President's plan, but they're worthless pieces of crap! These people are not productive, they're not going anywhere in their life, and they think that they're getting benefits from the government.
Now, I know you would never be so foolish as to think that you're getting a gift from your government. No, they always take more than they give. And that's the whole point of this thing: evaluate. Just because people are swarming to these jobs, it's because they don't have a higher vision. They're not in motion accomplishing their own dreams.
Let this be a warning to you, let this be a reminder to you, of the reasons why you have such a much more fulfilling life. One of them is that you're doing something because instead of just sitting there being bored, occasionally telling a person, "You can't go that way," or "If you go that way, you're going to have to go through security again."
You're not a person who is running those little tubs back and forth all day, thinking they're mighty, mighty important…or even worse a supervisory person one level up, who really thinks they're mighty important, because when they come around other people talk to them.
Again, it's the old J. Paul Getty thing—whose train are you on? Are you treading water, or are you getting ahead? And there's so much opportunity for you to tread water.
