Oh! You know what? I\u2019ve often said, &#8220;I\u2019m doing what I\u2019m born to do, and that\u2019s why I don\u2019t feel like I\u2019m at work.&#8221; I\u2019ve always subscribed to the theory that if you are fortunate enough in life to do what you love, then you\u2019re not really gonna feel like you\u2019re at work. It\u2019s not drudgery. Well, Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, delivered a commencement speech at Tulane University this past weekend, and he was noted for saying a controversial thing.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-237389\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/650-061617-Tim-Cook-Apple.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/650-061617-Tim-Cook-Apple.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/650-061617-Tim-Cook-Apple-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s a Baby Boomer. He\u2019s around 60. He said, &#8220;My generation has failed you,&#8221; and he was talking about climate change. Yeah, I just cringed, \u2019cause I don\u2019t know how somebody so smart (Tim Cook has gotta be smart) can be so gullible on this. I mean, something that cannot scientifically be proven &#8212; and it hasn\u2019t been. It\u2019s only because of computer models. It\u2019s just&#8230; I don\u2019t know. You\u2019ve heard me go back and forth about that. But I know that Algore is a member of the Apple board, and Algore has become a gazillionaire promoting this hoax.<\/p>\n<p>So that may be why, and it could well be that Cook knows his audience. You know, Apple, Millennials and so forth, they\u2019re all scared to death of climate change. &#8220;If the Apple people think there\u2019s climate change, I want Apple&#8230;&#8221; Who knows? Could be marketing. But I think he really means it. But he also said something else in his commencement speech. He said to the assembled multitudes graduating from Tulane (paraphrased), &#8220;This idea that if you find something to do in life that you love, that you\u2019ll never work a day in your life?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That is a crock,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It is hard. Whether you love it or not, doing good work is hard, and it\u2019s not a vacation.&#8221; I\u2019m paraphrasing here. And, you know, I\u2019ve always believed in the theory that if you really end up loving what you do, that it\u2019s not the same thing as getting up and hating your job. And if you love it, it\u2019s not work. If you\u2019re willing to do it all the time, it isn\u2019t work &#8212; if it\u2019s something you love &#8212; and he was debunking that. He was telling the assembled multitudes graduating from Tulane, that is a crock.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-309908\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-052319-Rush-is-Right-2019.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-052319-Rush-is-Right-2019.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-052319-Rush-is-Right-2019-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And I\u2019ve been thinking about it. I\u2019m undecided on it now as I\u2019m thinking about it. It\u2019s not a big deal, but it\u2019s something that I have always believed \u2019cause I\u2019ve lived it. You know, I do what I love. I consider myself to be fortunate as heck that the thing I love most, I\u2019m actually able to do more than anything else in life. I can\u2019t imagine having to work at a job I don\u2019t like, and many people do &#8212; and if there\u2019s one thing I could change for people, it would be that.<\/p>\n<p>But I\u2019m not denying that it\u2019s hard. It takes commitment. But, you know, the drive to be the best or to pursue excellence is directly linked to the fact that you love what you are doing and that you don\u2019t want to be half-baked at it or whatever. But I don\u2019t think it\u2019s bad. It\u2019s not a mistake to tell people that success is hard work. It\u2019s not just a matter of liking what you do. That\u2019s true.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I&#039;ve always subscribed to the theory that if you are fortunate enough in life to do what you love, then you&#039;re not really gonna feel like you&#039;re at work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":310007,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
