I speak in, such as top business schools,
kuriuose kalbu, pvz. verslo mokyklose,
what many of you are thinking,
ką daugelis jūsų dabar galvojate:
is my innate nature,
is actually very simple.
your entire life learning to be unhappy.

so we can have great sex
kad gautume gero sekso
of the if-then model.
„jei-tada“ modelio variacijos.

that it is the model itself that's flawed,
enormous amounts of time
CEO it would help,
vadovu, tai padės,
that I want to become a CEO.
nebenoriu būti vadovu.
