What I’ve been learning lately from Seth Godin and Steve Jobs
It’s hard to ignore the advice of two of the most influential people in the digital space. I receive daily email posts from Seth Godin and recently watched the TED Talk featuring Steve Jobs.
Steve offered advice to recent graduates about how to live before you die. He closed the speech with a quote that appeared on the final edition of the Whole Earth Catalog, “Stay hungry, stay foolish”. A recent twitter post also quoted him as saying to “stop living someone else’s dream”. Steve is a great role model for having blind determination to make his vision a reality. His life has also been a demonstration of just how hard that can be.
In Seth Godin’s latest book Linchpin, he advocates you become a leader and a visionary in the very thing you love the most. In his past book, The Dip, he recommends that if you are not the linchpin in your world, then you need to make the boundaries of your world smaller.
We all can find a circle of influence and we can all find a passion to share with others. It’s the courage to be true to making that your life’s work that is really hard.
Steve and Seth are to be admired and studied as people who continue to achieve on both counts.
