Steve Jobs did not take his privilege for granted
I've been listening to Steve Job's commencement speech. He talks about how he was privileged enough to have his parents pay for his college, but since college wasn't doing for him what he thought it would, he dropped out.
Wow, just wow. I mean how many immature losers would have simply kept going on their parents dime? Count me as one of them.
My favorite quote from the entire speech is, "Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not not follow your heart."
This man even recognized that his life is a privilege, which is truly amazing.
Another man that didn't take his privilege for granted is Joshua Kennon.
On his personal blog he posts about advice privilege that he received from his parents. He tells about how that privilege helped to liberate him in his life.
Yet another person I know pushes her beauty capital privilege to get paid high amounts at work while performing minimum work.
Time and time again this story repeats itself.
The world may look down upon the frugal minimum wage ninjas. Yet it is the poverty privilege that will enable us to succeed where so many lottery winners have failed. It is the poverty privilege that will give us the strength of character necessary to reach financial independence. It is the poverty privilege that will provide the means of achieving the goals the we have set out for ourselves and for our families.
Push that privilege my friends.
