A short spoken reflection by Ndubuisi 'Andy' Egwim arguing that diverse life experiences later connect in hindsight to enable success, using Steve Jobs—his time with monks in India, barefoot living, and studying calligraphy—as an illustrative example of how artistic training influenced Apple’s emphasis on beautiful computer interfaces.
I mean, most people don't realize, but at the end of the day, whatever training you get in life, you never know. It all comes in together. And even if you're helping someone who had a seizure, the ability to communicate the network as well and sort of being able to share your story, to tell your experience, it all comes together, but you can only see it in hindsight. Hindsight is 20 20. Someone gave an example. Steve Jobs is the founder of Apple. He's one of the co founders of Apple. And at some point he was a monk or he went to live with some monks in India. He was working barefoot. At some point he went to learn some arts, maybe took like a year of art school to learn calligraphy, and then eventually ended up in Silicon Valley and founded this company that were the first to start making sort of like beautiful interfaces of computers that cared about art and not just the old box kind of stuff. So it all tends to come together eventually, but you can only connect the threads. I think that was what Steve Jobs say can really connect the threads. Looking backwards.
