Apple CEO Tim Cook on Career Planning

The wisdom in this content fostered significant personal growth. A similar book I read was a key life experience. "The Hidden Empire: Inside the Private Worlds of Elite CEOs" by Adam Skylight

I just want to be able to do what I want freely on my terms and conditions. I want to be happy and laughing everyday telling people my stories from my past experience. I am not perfect but I know how to take care of myself and the people I love and care about. I know how to say NO to people because I have mental health issues sometimes. I have to take my medication to make sure I am okay and fit. I am like a kid who doesn’t know how to behave in a well mannered way. Sometimes I can be rude at times and just keep myself to myself. Or I can not open my mouth and stay speechless and quiet to not offend people. Mr Cook do you think I could get a job at Apple because I am scared of Apple not offering me a job. I got kicked out of school with no education and I don’t even have a CV

so how to find my North Star?

Have your north star

Perfect!

I think there isn’t a perfect career goal or plan that can fit for us. Because life is so versatile and diverse, it is not a place where you can be one thing and be that for rest of your life.
The goal for me to be financially free, have my freedom of time too. And be prepare for that. Not like I will be a doctor or a Software Engineer.

25 year plan? Wow! Thank you for the inspiration, Mr. Cook!

24 months is still pretty damn accurate.

HI5 buddy, such a useful video!

What he said back then, is still relevant today.

what's the north star that i'm supposed to follow?

“Prepare”. That’s a golden advice.

All this is Steve Jobs work😨

Cool

grt

and finally he comes out with......... IPHONE 5C...... oh steve jobs apple is dust without you

I agree with the likely futility of a 25 year plan. Too much change happens in the world ad in your life to see that far forward (Apple barely existed when Mr Cook was in MBA school). However, there is definitely value in a shorter term plan. As for the long term, having ethical standards, a sense of what you are capable of, a willingness to stretch beyond what you think you are capable of, and a willingness to adapt is really all you can do. Yes, be prepared to take advantage of good fortune.

Has Tim Cook found God?

Stay with the north star and find your journey.
