BILL AULET: So why
are we so passionate

2
00:00:07,130 --> 00:00:08,820
about entrepreneurship
as individuals?

3
00:00:08,820 --> 00:00:11,790
Why are we so passionate at
MIT about entrepreneurship?

4
00:00:11,790 --> 00:00:16,120
Our mission at MIT is to
enhance the knowledge of science

5
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,360
and technology to have a
positive impact on the world's

6
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:20,870
greatest challenges.

7
00:00:20,870 --> 00:00:22,640
So what does
entrepreneurship do in that?

8
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,220
Yeah, you can bring
technology about.

9
00:00:24,220 --> 00:00:26,580
But let me talk about the
greater challenge in the world

10
00:00:26,580 --> 00:00:27,640
today.

11
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:32,930
That is youth growing up and
not being able to have jobs.

12
00:00:32,930 --> 00:00:36,770
Entrepreneurship is
the hope for them.

13
00:00:36,770 --> 00:00:40,250
It allows them to think, you
know, hey, I can grow up.

14
00:00:40,250 --> 00:00:42,050
And I can create my own job.

15
00:00:42,050 --> 00:00:43,680
So it gives them hope.

16
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,810
And then, if they
start something

17
00:00:45,810 --> 00:00:47,350
or they're part of
something small,

18
00:00:47,350 --> 00:00:49,430
they get pride in
what they have.

19
00:00:49,430 --> 00:00:51,430
It's something
that is their own.

20
00:00:51,430 --> 00:00:53,880
And so this is very, very
important, hope, pride.

21
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,100
And the last thing
is, it gets rigor.

22
00:00:57,100 --> 00:00:59,890
If it's your own-- you know,
when you're in a startup,

23
00:00:59,890 --> 00:01:01,649
you can't rely on other people.

24
00:01:01,649 --> 00:01:02,690
You got to get out there.

25
00:01:02,690 --> 00:01:03,790
You've got to collect the money.

26
00:01:03,790 --> 00:01:04,879
You've got to get
up in the morning.

27
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:05,837
You got to get to work.

28
00:01:05,837 --> 00:01:08,520
Because if you don't, things
aren't going to happen.

29
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,200
So to us, we're
extraordinarily passionate

30
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,300
about entrepreneurship as a way
to bring hope, pride, and rigor

31
00:01:15,300 --> 00:01:18,340
to the youth and throughout the
entire world who are growing up

32
00:01:18,340 --> 00:01:22,300
today because the jobs are
not going to be there created

33
00:01:22,300 --> 00:01:23,050
by the government.

34
00:01:23,050 --> 00:01:27,130
They're not going to be there
created by big companies.

35
00:01:27,130 --> 00:01:28,700
You, the youth of
the future, are

36
00:01:28,700 --> 00:01:30,340
going to have to
create your own jobs.

37
00:01:30,340 --> 00:01:32,280
And you want to
create great jobs.

38
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,760
And when you do that,
you will have hope.

39
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:35,730
You will have pride.

40
00:01:35,730 --> 00:01:37,400
And you will have
rigor in your life.

41
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,540
And that is why we
are so passionate

42
00:01:39,540 --> 00:01:40,660
about entrepreneurship.

43
00:01:40,660 --> 00:01:42,840
And we want to export
knowledge about how

44
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:47,410
to be great entrepreneurs
to everyone we possibly can.
