He and his friend Steve Wozniak just wanted a personal computer but only because they couldn\u2019t afford the ones that were in the market and considered them too impractical for them.&nbsp;<\/p><p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" data-adtags-visited=\"true\">They followed their passion, did what made them happy, what thrilled them and just winded up inventing The Apple 1 and then the rest of it is just history, that the whole world knows about now. He wanted to leave his mark on the world by doing something different than the rest of us. Well, that\u2019s what happened, isn\u2019t it?&nbsp;Incase you don\u2019t remember then let me remind you Mark Zuckerberg, another billionaire.&nbsp;He just brought people together by creating Facebook and well, that got him the money he never even planned for. You see the point now?<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Is your goal is to make money or to create something useful for the world?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" data-adtags-visited=\"true\"><strong>Moral of the story<\/strong>: you don\u2019t need to chase money to get what you want.&nbsp;You do what you want and money follows on it\u2019s own when you do what you\u2019re best at. When you put your best efforts everyday even on your greatest self. Money is just by-product not the goal.&nbsp;Running after it is like a hamster running on his wheel. It\u2019s never ending, unfulfilling and the worst part of all it\u2019s a TRAP. Earning money is not wrong but quitting on your passion only to earn more money than the others is what makes the whole concept a failure.<\/p>\n<p data-adtags-visited=\"true\">\n<\/p><p><strong>Content creation by<\/strong>: Vinod K Bansal&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Compiled by<\/strong>: Arya Kaul<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d421d00 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d421d00\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ce11c1e\" data-id=\"ce11c1e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bbbfc90 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"bbbfc90\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.16.0 - 14-09-2023 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/nodbansalfmtl.wordpress.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/fmtlacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pexels-debraj-chanda-6534317-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-25412\" alt=\"goal\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fmtlacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pexels-debraj-chanda-6534317-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fmtlacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pexels-debraj-chanda-6534317-scaled-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/fmtlacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pexels-debraj-chanda-6534317-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fmtlacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pexels-debraj-chanda-6534317-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fmtlacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pexels-debraj-chanda-6534317-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/fmtlacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pexels-debraj-chanda-6534317-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Goal or A Trap?
