I’m a little unconvinced when someone says they are a professional and all they do is push buttons.
I guess, in a way, they are a professional in that strict (rather, restricted) category of pushing buttons.
But the real professionals, the ones that get paid more, get talked about, get sought after go beyond the button-pushing.
They bring art and invent new buttons (the metaphorical ones that others carry) and they push them because they’re professionalism is designed around finding the edge and then ideating or innovating beyond the boundary.
Pushing buttons is all well and good, but it’s not what the world demands. If anything, it’s what the world is optimizing (or automating) away from.
Will you stay behind? Or go beyond the buttons?
Stay Positive & Go Ahead, Push Yourself
