That right there is key. I think if Steve ever felt a need to expand his empire this is how he would do it.

The problem isn't with work, it's with the employee mindset. The basic idea is that it's smart to sell your ambitions and your soul to a company that uses you as they wish without compensating you adequately. You are not a human, you are a robot. You are not a person, you are property. The phrase "wage slavery" is frighteningly close to the truth.

That's great if you want somebody else to make all of your decisions for you, but if you wanna live consciously you can't stay in that position for very long.
