Jobs shows that good entrepreneurs follow their dreams

 

This article is concerned with Steve Jobs’s Stanford commencement address, in which he discusses his belief about the importance of loving your occupation, and believing in “what you do” to achieve success. The writer asserts that loving your work may not be as dependant on your area of work, but rather how you tackle the job. As is the case with Jobs, people who bring imagination and enthusiasm to their job will place more value on it, regardless of what their occupation is.

I agree with the article that there is just as much of an impact on job happiness from work enthusiasm as there is on the type of occupation, but I would also go a step further. I would contend that being stylish and innovative in your job is a crucial quality of an entrepreneur. Being intellectually invested in a business will mean that the entrepreneur will be intrinsically motivated to do what is best for the company, rather than being motivated by personal gain. Also, there is a rising importance placed on companies to be innovative, so if an entrepreneur has these qualities, it can send a strong message to the people about the company.
