Disclaimer: When I refer to ‘technology’, it includes almost everything that comes under these immensely broad categories… “Computers and Internet”
I love technology. I just can’t get enough of it. I desperately try to keep up with it, though it’s advancing at a ‘breakneck’ speed. But that never bogs me down. Infact, every new innovation gives me an increase drive every time to understand it with the hunger for being the one to innovate one day.
Steve Jobs said in a speech he gave at Stanford,
“The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.”
This is what I have been doing. Ever since I recall, I have always had had an unusual sort of enthusiasm to work on or understand anything that is new and promising. I always want to get up to speed with all the new things on the horizon and all the current trends. I have this weird urgency in trying to get up to speed with anything, lest I fall behind in my race to catch up (and overtake) the technology on open throttle. Till date, I really haven’t been able to match that speed
As Steve Jobs puts it as “Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish”, and I would add to it, “Stay Excited!!”.
Anyway, being what I am, I always seem to be the ‘impatient‘,’over excited‘ sorts or even ‘Hyper‘ , to others. While I completely understand their feelings, I really don’t care beyond that. I am fortunate that I have that ‘Hunger‘, that ‘Foolishness‘ and that ‘Excitement‘ in me.

Fortunately for many of us, we are foolish enough to stay hungry for things we love doing; the excitement just happens to be a positive byproduct of it.

Excitement with hunger, is like the nitro-booster in racing cars. It takes you far from where the others are, and that too in an amazingly fast speed….
Well said, STAY EXCITED!!!
