NGL, I'm inspired by Alexander, Napoleon, Caesar, etc., but I hate the fact that most of these guys were simply born into privilege, happened to be in the right place at the right time, and got all the credit. History loves a simplified headline: one man, one moment, one myth. But the truth is much messier and more nuanced. Humans have a strange tendency to worship singular heroes and oversimplify history, ignoring context, collaboration, and complexity. Take Steve Jobs, for example. He’s often celebrated like a tech god (I was guilty of this in my younger years too - I'm a dropout tech entrepreneur, ex software engineer). But was he truly the revolutionary mind behind it all?

In reality, much of Apple’s foundational innovation, like the mouse and graphical user interface (GUI), was borrowed (read: stolen) from Xerox. Jobs and his team visited Xerox’s labs, and while Xerox had no idea what to do with their invention, Apple took those concepts and brought them to market. The real credit for the GUI and mouse belongs to the Xerox engineers. And then there’s Steve Wozniak and his team, the actual technical geniuses who built the Apple I and II and designed their architecture. Jobs wasn’t the one doing the engineering. He was just the face, the salesman, but not the inventor. Even beyond Apple, we tend to forget the scientists and researchers who made the actual technology possible. Without the foundational work in semiconductors, quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, and computer science, none of it would function. But these contributors rarely make it into the story.

Sometimes even after putting in all your efforts on one thing with singular focus. You're still bound to fail. So what pushes you even after that failure... It's the thing that you love.
