RE: DAILY QUOTEMEAL- |STEVE JOBS|

in #philosophy7 years ago

This is a nice quote, however, I can't help but feel that the only people who say stuff like this are those who have achieved some measure of success, and hence assume it is a universal truth that, for eg. 'if you haven't found it yet, keep looking. It will eventually come to you'

But is this necessarily fair to say? I'm sure for every steve jobs, there are thousands that have spent their entire lives dissatisfied, looking for something more, something better, something they love, and have exhausted themselves in the process, never getting anywhere and often dying miserable and broke.

No doubt striving to find what you love and to excel in it is something worthwhile. And I, myself, have been on that journey to find it in my own life. But is there a difference between hope or a calculated risk, and being caught into an illusion or deceptive dreams of grandeur?

What do you think, @cortexx ?

Thank you for sharing your idea @skidadle , yes you are right, before I quit my job I already had contingency plans for myself. I just quit my job and didn't regret it because I learned a lot from home, than in the factory where your learning is limited. If I didn't quit my job I wouldn't know how the blockchain works and any crypto currencies that has potential value to society and i'm gonna be part of it. In the end either failure or success they might call it that doesn't excites me, but one thing more precious above all is your journey that builds experience and one day you you no longer chasing money, it will chase you. :)

"One thing more precious above all is your journey that builds experience."

This is very well said and so true :)
Good luck to you on your new adventure and hope it brings you great prospects!
