The most important ingredient to becoming successful is having motivation, says Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.
“Having a purpose, motivation — motivation is worth more than knowledge,” says Wozniak says, speaking at eMERGE technology conference in Miami, Fla., Monday. Wozniak co-founded Apple with Steve Jobs in 1976.
“You can teach all the right things and that doesn’t matter. If somebody is motivated and wants to do something, wanting — it’s emotional. That’s the person that is probably going to go out and find a way to actually get it done.”
The internet has democratized access to skills, so having passion is the key to creating your future, says the innovator and Silicon Valley icon.
