FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded):
|
Steve Todak, the author of this article has interviewed Steve Jobs, a famous entrepreneur and gives a very valuable advice to people that "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice."
|
Steve Jobs, through his life experiences shares to us that "The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle."
|
On the other hand, Penelope Trunk believes quite the opposite and says that "
One of the worst pieces of career advice that I bet each of you has not only received but given is to "do what you love."" |
Additonally, Penelope Trunk believes that " If you tell yourself that your job has to be something you'd do even if you didn't get paid, you'll be looking for a long time. Maybe forever." and it'll all be a waste of your time.
|
After showing both sides of the argument, Steve Todak concluded that in order to live life to the fullest. "Don't stay on a path that someone else has set for you"
