In a one‑minute narrated monologue, the speaker retells the ancient Greek myth of King Midas, whose touch turns everything to gold. He describes Midas’s initial delight as he transforms objects, a chair, a tree, a mountain, and eventually his own daughter into gold, illustrating how his obsessive pursuit of wealth ultimately deprives him of basic needs like food and water. The story is reframed as a timeless warning about obsession: when founders chase growth, friends become customers; when creators chase views, every moment becomes content; when athletes chase victory, everyone becomes competition. The speaker concludes that the thing we desire most can become the only thing we obtain, turning everything to gold but costing us everything, and ends with a brief sign‑off, “See you tomorrow.”
