So I was invited to give a motivational speech. Why? I don’t know. I once posted “Believe in yourself” on Facebook and suddenly I’m booked.
I step on stage. The mic doesn’t work. I scream louder.
“YOU ARE ALL WINNERS!”
Crowd cheers.
I get bolder:
“QUIT YOUR JOBS IF YOU HATE THEM!”
They cheer louder.
I go full messiah mode.
“BURN YOUR TIES. EAT THE RULEBOOK. LIFE IS SHORT—BE STUPID AND FREE!”
Someone throws a chair. Not at me. Just in general.
People start taking off their shirts. One lady climbs the projector. A guy yells,
“I’M MOVING TO PERU TO BECOME A LLAMA!”
HR runs on stage, screaming, “PLEASE STOP.”
I yell, “THERE ARE NO HR IN THE JUNGLE OF GREATNESS.”
Security tackles me. I still scream:
“FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS, EVEN IF THEY’RE DUMB!”
Result:
47 resignations. 1 fire.
I now speak exclusively at prisons and kindergartens.
