Yeah maybe, but somewhere in that there was probably just a passion for stuff as well? There is a reason that you listen to someone. It's not bad advice to listen to what smart people think is important or what problems they believe to be important to work on in the future. But somewhere along the way you must decide on what you want to do and I think most people have no issues in that. But if you're young and have no experience, it is IMO a good idea to try things that people with experience like Elon Musk say will be important for the future. Then if you dislike it, you can simply drop it for something else.
