Was Steve Jobs Wrong?

Listening to Steve Jobs’ iconic Commencement Speech at Stanford University, it gained widespread attention, mainly for one message: “Do what you love.”

Before co-founding Apple with Wozniak, Jobs had a deep affinity for spirituality and experimenting with psychedelics, embracing Eastern mysticism and Buddhism. His commitment to spirituality even led to his replacement in his first electronics project. It’s evident that his passion for spirituality outweighed his interest in technology.

While Jobs’ speech emphasized pursuing one’s passion, the reality often requires men to take on jobs they may not love, prioritizing the responsibility of providing for their families over personal passion.

A more profound lesson from Jobs’ speech emerges: instead of solely “Doing what you love,” embrace the mantra “Love what you do.” This mindset encourages being present, passionate, and dedicated to doing your best, regardless of the task at hand.

Whether it’s sweeping a floor, scrubbing a trashcan, laying bricks, or making a bed, approach each task with passion and excellence. This approach fosters a life filled with purpose, love, and passion, extending its positive influence to every aspect of your life.

In summary: Do your best, love what you’re doing, and be passionate about every task.

Love y’all!

  1. This was a direct lesson that I also heard from my father. “If your job is to sweep, be the best sweeper. If your job is to take the trash out, be the best at taking the trash out.”
