Follow Your Own Obsession

Akira
He’s got clout
To the extent that specific technology is taught it’s on the job
It’s through apprenticeships and that’s why the best careers are the
apprenticeship careers
Because those are things society still has not figured out how to train and
automate yet
The classic line here is that one of Warren Buffet went to Benjamin Graham when
he got out of school And Benjamin Graham was the author of the Intelligent
Investor
Is a modernized or created value investing as a discipline
And Warren Buffett went to Benjamin Graham and offered to work for him for free
And Graham said «Actually your overpriced.
Free is overpriced»
And Graham was absolutely right
When it comes to a very valuable apprenticeship like the type that Graham was
going to give Buffet Buffet should have been paying him a lot of money
And that right there tells you that those are skills worth knowing
Specific knowledge all potentially technical and creative
So, on the bleeding edge of technology
The bleeding edge of art
Or the bleeding edge of communication
Even today for example there are probably meme lords out there on the internet
Who can create incredible memes that will spread the idea to millions of people?
Akira
Follow your own obsession
Follow your own obsession
Follow your own obsession
Follow your own obsession
And somewhere in the back of your mind you can realize that, hey actually this
obsession I’ll keep an eye out for the commercial aspects of it
But I think if you go around try to build it a little too deliberately
If you become too goal-oriented on the money then you won’t pick the right thing
You won’t actually pick the thing that you love to do so you won’t go deep
enough into it But I think it’s important that what not start assembling things
to deliberately
Because you do want to pay the things where you are a natural
Everyone is a match for something
We’re all familiar with that phrase «a natural»
Oh, this person is a natural at meeting manner
This person is a natural socialite
This person is a natural programmer
This person is a natural programmer
This person is a natural leader
So, whatever you are a natural at you want to double down on that
And then there are probably multiple things you are natural at
Because personalities and humans are very complex
We want to be able to take the things that you are natural and combine them So
that you automatically just to share interest and enjoyment
End up top 25 or top 10 or top 5% at a number of things
Follow your own obsession.
Follow your own obsession
Whatever you’re a natural at you want to double down on that
Follow your own obsession Follow your own obsession
Whatever you are a natural at you want to double down on that
Follow your own obsession Follow your own obsession
Whatever you are a natural at you want to double down on that
Follow your own obsession Follow your own obsession
Whatever you are a natural at you want to double down on that
