This video has literally changed my life. Gave me the courage to take my first sabbatical which led me to a life i never would have had otherwise. Focus on what you want (thrive) rather than what you have (survive)
I took a 9-month sabbatical 3 years ago to study a master and some side courses, and it landed me a new job with 25% more salary in a company closer to my values and interests. I recovered the investment in less than a year and now I am considering a second sabbatical but this time to do art full-time
Vi el video después de mi año sabático, y puedo decir que si seguimos las entrañas de nuestro corazón siempre vamos a estar en el camino y momentos correctos
I couldn't agree more with the whole speech. I'm taking some time off to focus on creativity.. yes.. downside is the cash flow.. but... finding my passion as an artist in design has honestly saved my sanity!
I don't know if I'd say only the elite would benefit. A lot of professionals would see a benefit through sabbatical. I know university professors are often encouraged to do so, and they are not exactly elite. I can see it also being useful for engineers and teachers as someone else mentioned. I agree with you that it's not for everybody, but I also think it's for more than just the elite.
that's the problem with some people, they don't see it so they immediately think it would be worthless. For example, imagine what a stupid idea it would be, to open a site where users can upload videos, share comment and rate them, completely for free. Well, up to 2005 no one saw it.
In my case I was forced to have a sabbatical - Covid made me go back to my parents' place at 39 jobless. It could have been an opportunity, but I was too depressed. I think you need to decide it and have a plan.
I am a cashier and customer service rep for a company, and have been trapped in this brainless job for 2 years, despite being trained as a travel agent and Luxury Travel Specialist. I can make sales without an issue, but that isn't my job. my job is to stand at a cash, smile and scan things.
Takes courage but you can do this even if your company does not support it. Attitudes towards sabbatical are much healthier today than it was when this video first came out (or when I took my 1st sabbatical in 2013)
This only applies to the creme of the crop IE people whom are the elite that serve in elite industries and professions. There was a similar video done a while back by TED on how bonuses don't motivate good results in every field of work. I agree with the premise, but let's get real here we're talking about maybe 1% of the population who's good elite enough to benefit from these scenarios.
based on the ignorance of your previous comments, i highly doubt it. however, if you have any proof, bring it forward... and anyone can use babelfish to translate text, post a video showing your fluency in 4 languages. after all, Carl Sagan once said "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."
Yes, my great grandfather, whosoldrocketpartstonazigermany, once told me that if anybody didn't live a rich and fabulous life, with numerous yearlong sabbaticals in Bali, that it was nooobody's fault but theeeeiiiirs.

@AdmiraIBosch erm... yeah well if "dude" applies to women, too ...? And btw i did get a 3 month sabbatical last summer and my employer payed for part of it :-)
no they weren't, and not for free. It you are saying there was a similar service to youtube prior to 2005, you are just not aware of things. You are quick to do bogus claims and false assertions about almost everything someone throws at you, I see. Just the stereotype of the young kid that thinks he knows it all. I could give you a decent argument as why free time could be valuable to any job. But what would be the point of that, right?
OK, note to self. Become filthy rich, take a year off at a time while telling the world how great it is... while making your staff keep working without sabbatical... Hmm...
Some of us are actually rather intelligent but are stuck in the 'idiot employees' category because the training that they have is not admissable in the company that they work for.
An alternate idea is I used to be like you and the penance this is the penance I've given myself. I have no doubt that the world COULD be as you describe it, but the majority of people don't want to put up with it. It's actually good that people like you are as open and honest about how they really don't give a damn about people....it makes it easier for us liberals to care a little less when your taxes go up. (if you are indeed one of the elites you worship, however unlikely that is.)
I haven't read whatever the argument you're having, but I thought mentioning your IQ also went out with grade school. I'm even pretty sure that it didn't work back then, much less now.
My iq test result was 172, and my psychological profile was "word warrior". But I don't really care for those stupid tests. IQ tells nothing about a person. I have red your comments, seen your profile and favourites, and decided I don't what to give you an explanation, because no matter what I say you will never admit I'm right. So as I said, what's the point? At your current state of mind, you actually believe a designer is more of a person than a cashier ... good luck with that.
I know it's you. No one cares to read that comment. I'm not claiming anything by the way, I simply took some IQ tests ... one of them was supervised. But this is irrelevant. What's your point? What's wrong with my comment, I'm still waiting...
You obviously have not lived in the real world at all. This myth of huge tracts of the country living with infinite welfare is nuts. The idea that the vast majority of people don't use what the government gives them is nuts. How many have used GI bills, pell grants, and low-interest loans to achieve heights in education? How many have used medicare and social security to live into old age with dignity? Pure intellectual theorizing punctuated by black and white thinking just isn't serious.
