Yes, Jobs was deeply passionate about technology and design. But the interviews and talks that you mention are from later stages of his life. I read his biography and watched multiple biopics. What you say is true. But what I am talking about, and the author talked about is about his teenage and post-teen years. During and before the time he started his very first "tech venture" with cream-soda drinking Woz.
And I agree that people should dream. But they should base it on certain things, for example-
0. Nature of the field. If you are 10,000th best Engineer in the world or the 20,000th best Math teacher, you will have 0 problems financially.
1. Past success and ability in your dream field
etc.
The Japanese concept of Ikigai also comes to mind in this context.
I love the dreamers and see myself as same, and I want people to be aware of these knowledges before taking the leap and becoming and remaining a dreamer.
- Cybotron5000 5y agoI’d not heard of ‘Ikigai’ - what a lovely concept to have one word for - thanks for that! …for anyone else similarly ignorant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikigai https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikigai
