Alain de Botton: A kinder, gentler philosophy of success

"What is a snob? A snob is anybody who takes a small part of you and uses that to come to a complete vision of who you are.That is snobbery.
The dominant kind of snobbery that exists nowadays is job snobbery(...)"What do you do?" And according to how you answer that question, people are either incredibly delighted to see you, or look at their watch and make their excuses.
Now, the opposite of a snob is your mother Not necessarily your mother, or indeed mine, but, as it were, the ideal mother,somebody who doesn't care about your achievements."

 

And so on.
Interesting thoughts on the concept of success.
 Intelligent, simple , funny. A great speaker .
