Steve Jobs: You Must Be Passionate From The Start

“You have to be burning with an idea, a problem, or a wrong that you want to right. If you’re not passionate enough from the start, you’ll never stick it out.“

I have a newsletter where I share exclusive thought-provoking musings and updates on my writing journey. You can subscribe here.

Glee greetings, dear reader!

I’m sorry for not writing to you since Monday. I’ve been busy with numerous tasks that’ve left me with little sleep and zero morning writing time. I hope you’re all doing well and staying safe.

In continuation with our February ‘Passion Series, today I want to share with you a quote that inspires me a lot. It’s from Steve Jobs, the legendary founder of Apple. He said:

“You have to be burning with an idea, a problem, or a wrong that you want to right. If you’re not passionate enough from the start, you’ll never stick it out.”

Steve Jobs

This quote resonates with me because it reminds me of why I started this newsletter in the first place. I wanted to share my ideas, insights, and experiences with you and help you grow as writers, entrepreneurs, and creators. I wanted to make a positive impact on the world and solve some of the problems that I see around me.

But passion alone is not enough. You also need perseverance, discipline, and resilience. You need to keep going even when things get tough, when you face obstacles, or when you feel like giving up. You need to stick to your vision and not let anyone or anything stop you.

That’s what Steve Jobs did. He faced many challenges and failures in his life, but he never gave up on his dreams. He changed the world with his innovations and left a legacy that will last for generations.

So, my question for you today is: What are you passionate about? What problem do you want to solve? What wrong do you want to right? And most importantly, are you willing to stick it out?

I’d love to hear from you. Reply to this email and let me know what you think. And if you need any help or advice, don’t hesitate to ask. I’m always here for you.

Thank you for reading, and until next time, keep burning!
