Akira the Don and Naval Ravikant - 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

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
