  • Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Quotes 253. Today we're doing a quote by

  • Robert Downey jr. the actor, the famous actor. Probably most people know today

  • by he plays the role of "Iron Man. " But he's been an actor for a long time and I

  • can remember when he was young and I remember him out throughout his whole

  • career. Anyway, let's take a look at his quote first. So here's his quote. " I used to

  • be so convinced that happiness was the goal, yet all those years I was chasing

  • after it, I was unhappy in the pursuit. Maybe the goal really should be a life

  • that values honor, duty, good work , friends and family. Yeah. So this is, this is a

  • quote directly from Robert Downey jr. All right. Let's, let's continue. Let's

  • take a look at the note here. Robert Downey jr. has always had you know,

  • acting ability or pretty good acting ability. And he got better as he got

  • older. He was the son of an actor and a filmmaker. His father took drugs though

  • and is said to have introduced his son to marijuana at the age of six.

  • So even when Robert Downey jr. was a little kid his father started giving him

  • marijuana when he was only six years old. Robert Downey jr. suffered from drug

  • abuse early in his life. But he seems to have cleaned up. Yeah. He seems to got

  • over this and in many ways I was happy because I kind of remember him when I

  • was young. He always had appeal, He was always likable. When he was young I was

  • young. You know kind of at the same time. and I could remember when he had all his,

  • his drug problems and his problems with the law and showing up in court. And you

  • know, kind of thinking to myself that's it's too bad. It's such a shame but you

  • know, when you find out that his father introduced that marijuana to him when he

  • was six years old, you know, sometimes he could have a little bit more sympathy

  • for him. But the really good news ... The really good part about Robert Downey jr. is

  • that he turned around his life. All right. So let's continue here. He

  • seems to have cleaned up got on the right track. He completely changed and

  • his career and his life prospered. He did really really well. All right. So let's go

  • back to the quote now. With this quote he seems to be warning others not to chase

  • happiness. The more you chase it, the more fleeting. The more it seems to be out of

  • your reach. The more it seems to escape you. The more fleeting it may seem to be.

  • His life changed around when he focused on important qualities such as you know,

  • honor, duty, a good work ethic, friends and family. So this kind of changed his life

  • around. And I remember when he started appearing and he started coming back

  • again. I I remember he played a good role where he played the life story of

  • Charlie Chaplin. I was really impressed with that.

  • And you know he just seemed to get better and better until finally you know

  • he end up with the Iron Man role and you know he he really ... his whole career

  • took off again. But anyway. So let's continue here. He is letting you know, if

  • you do this. Meaning like chase happiness. If you do this happiness will or may find

  • you. So if you if you focus your goals on things like honor and duty and family

  • and friends and a good work ethic you know, all his life he was chasing

  • happiness but you know happiness may find you after you focus on these things

  • rather than you chasing it. Anyway, I wish him the best. I hope to never hear that

  • he falls off the wagon and goes back or anything like that. He's one of the few

  • that actually will you know, speak out with more kind of conservative

  • values. Anyway, I hope you got it. I hope you appreciate it. Thank you for your

  • time. Bye-bye.
