nishio When I heard about young people quitting a company when they don’t get the assignment they expected, someone commented, “As Steve Jobs said, sometimes there is a connection between seemingly unrelated things, so you shouldn’t be too picky. Steve Jobs also said that sometimes there is a connection between seemingly unrelated matters, so it is not good to be too selective”.

hrjn I’d feel like Jobs would be so passionate that he’d even go to the department heads to ask them directly.

He seems to be different from the average young person in the sense that he is not likely to wait for his assignment quietly. hrjn I don’t think it’s Jobsian to make the reluctant choice of wait for assignment and hope for a good result.

  • Indeed.
