What the world can offer you OR What you can offer the world?
Right now, I'm reading So Good They Can't Ignore You, By Cal Newport. The title of the book is based off of a quote by Steve Martin in his autobiography about his success.
Mr. Newport's book is based on the idea that professionally we can adopt one of two mindsets,
1. The Passion Mindset, where the individual is more focused on a calling and asks, "What can the world offer me?"
and
2. The Craftsman Mindset, where the individual is more focused on mastering skills and asks, "What can I offer the world?"
Mr. Newport argues for a clear bias towards the latter, saying,
"Irrespective of what type of work you do, the craftsman mindset is crucial for building a career you love".
Which Mindset do you ascribe to? Which Mindset do you think is more popular right now? I would love to hear your thoughts.
