“BECOME CRAZY” + “DO WHAT YOU LIKE” = SUCCESS IN CAREER

During class, Dr. Siraje sometimes keeps on repeating to tell us the story of Gallileo, the person who brought new perspective to people at his time, which the world is spherical, not flat, was jailed since people assuming he was crazy. Nevertheless, what I can see, Dr. Siraje highlighted this point is to make us realize persons who can generate ideas, who can contribute or exploring something new or able to produce something extraordinary, might be the successful people in their career. Besides, Dr. Siraje sometimes say “Do what you like, money will come later” in order to encourage us to enjoy our career world or to make our hobby as our job, where many people in this world are getting profit by commercialized their hobby. We can see in world history, only those who contribute something new or i.e. those who had done innovations, are those who we remembered until now, while some of them become among richest men in the world. Mostly, they satisfied and enjoyed doing what they like. For instance, Thomas Edison devoted his life for trying to invent a bulb. Even though he failed many times, he enjoyed doing it since it was his determination and interest to do research on it. In this case, we can see how Thomas Edison did what he like the most, and the result of it is he got satisfaction and become remembered until today for being the inventor. In other case, we can see how Bill Gates quit from his study since he wanted to focus on what he wants and what he likes, where finally he becomes one of richest men in United States of America. Hence, it is not exaggerating to say, to certain extents: “BECOME CRAZY” + “DO WHAT WE LIKE” = SUCCESS IN CAREER
