In this context, Arnaud Tsamère wanted to deliver them an important message.
“It’s dead, it’s over”: Arnaud Tsamère gives valuable advice to academics
The comedian, who confided on the set of Daily diligently following the show, encouraged the students to focus on the present moment. “I just try to live the present moment in an intense, passionate way and that's the only way this crazy job brings you the most beautiful surprises, by doing it with carefreeness, but above all honesty. That's- that is, involvement and pleasure and passion in the present moment. That’s what I keep telling the kids I meet.”he explained.
He insisted on the importance of involvement and passion in this profession, stressing that students should not be motivated by materialistic goals. “If you start saying 'I want to do this job because I want to sign autographs, earn a lot of money, even if it's to buy your parents a house, and I want to be recognized in the street, it's dead, it's over”he added, under the attentive gaze of the candidates.
An answer from Ebony on career goals
If Arnaud Tsamère's advice had an impact on the students, Ebony spoke to qualify his remarks. Hugues Hamelynck, their theater teacher, asked the class if everyone understood the comedian's message and if they agreed with him. Ebony expressed another vision of things. “I somewhat agree with this way of life, but I know that I projected myself a lot into my dreams. I always set myself goals and they always came true. You have to visualize what you wants to have”replied Ebony. Who, among the students, will be able to follow the comedian's advice and concentrate on the present moment while remaining faithful to their passion for music and entertainment? The answer will emerge from January 11.
