I appreciate both characters. However, when it comes to choosing, they represent something very different. <br>The first, Albert Einstein, laid the foundations for everything we believed, how the universe worked, what it was composed of, both on a macro and micro scale. Beyond the results and formulas obtained, it's his way of operating that is most striking. From a very young age, he was concerned with the profound questions of the universe - what is time, what happens if we travel on a train at the speed of light, etc. With his "thought experiments" and challenging authority, he made a constant call not to settle for the established, to question things, and to explore with the mind and creativity in this life we are part of. No wonder he said, "I was originally supposed to become an engineer but the thought of having to expend my creative energy on things that make practical everyday life even more refined, with a loathsome capital gain as the goal, was unbearable to me." <br>The second, Steve Jobs, setting aside the passion and the impact he has had on the business-technology world, I believe his main ability was to connect existing elements to create a product. However, it involved combining elements that others had created separately, with an impact more in the world of things. Obviously, it holds value, and he designed the very phone I am using to write this text. However, I tend to classify him in the more "practical" world with less admirable capabilities. Leaving aside the cult, what is ultimately produced is hyper-consumption, technological addiction, the growth of giant corporations, and fueling the global economic system in all its variables. <br>Far from considering myself similar to Einstein, I can't help but yearn to be closer to that side - the side of grand ideas and profound questions. Compared to running companies or letting other companies win and sell more and more. <br>And beyond the advantages and tools you get from studying engineering - which I entered "because I was good at mathematics" - I can't help but wish I had had more courage and maturity (perhaps it's never too late) to dedicate myself solely to pondering and discussing those life big questions, as Einstein did.
