A school going boy walks up to his father and tells him that he finds his homework utterly boring. His father stops his work and sits down with his son. He asked his son, ‘are you going to be a PC all your life or are you going to work hard to become a Mac one day?’
No wonder the kid understood what his father meant. Five years down the line and not only this guy grew up to become a Mac, he’s got a great job, a loving girlfriend, a big house and he drives around in a SUV. Ask him if he still remembers his father’s advice and his eyes lighten up. He can recount the day as if it was just yesterday.
No I am not reviving platform wars all over again and neither am I mocking any technology company. My simple point is that for some things in life we will have to walk that extra mile to grab it. I’m personally of the opinion that one doesn’t need to run behind money, not primarily at least. If you do a good job money will automatically somehow follow. It may not always end up like that but the satisfaction of doing a great job shouldn’t get crushed under heavy pay checks.
Money is our ultimate motive for working on something I agree with that. All I’m saying is that money shouldn’t be the primary goal here. I keep telling myself not to run behind money and then I see a Mac. I salivate at the very moment. All of a sudden I ask myself why the heck can’t I afford one?
The only thing is we all are a PC at some point or the other because we’re merely at the first step of the ladder. The moment we get to the top and have enough money, we become Macs in no time. So are you a Mac or a PC?
