 A question that I like to ask occasionally when I meet people to have an interesting conversation and to better understand how their brain works, what the Italian life is to ask what would be, who would be the person you would have dinner with if it could be anyone. And usually I like to divide this question into two parts. So one part is if that would be a historic figure who is no longer alive. And the second part is who that person would be who is actually still alive. It's probably well known that that person keeps your interest. So in this video I wanted to first of all involve you and ask you the same question. So who you would have dinner with dead and alive? Who would you choose out of everyone? And there is some first of all, let me know, you know, your answer in the comments. I'm really interested to know. And I'll share with you what are the most common answers I hear from people and also I'll share my answer through this video. So but before I do, so stop the video, go to the comments, answer the question, choose your, your, your individuals. I'm really interested to know and then come back here and let's continue the video. So I'm giving you a few seconds enough to scratch my face. Okay, and let's continue. So a lot of people, it really depends, you know, who that person is, how, how, how much time they spend asking themselves what is interesting to them, how, how much of an expertise they have. The more common answers I would get are Buddha, Jesus, which are interesting answers. Some people would say Hitler, because they're interested to know, you know, who was the person really behind Hitler. And obviously sometimes you would get some unique, more unique answers depending on the expertise of the people. But the question, the answer that I give usually and that answer hasn't changed for the past few years. So historic figure that is no longer alive, but I would like to meet is Jason, Jason Bourne. We're not talking about fictional characters and that would not even be it. My character, my, my historic figure is Steve Jobs. And I met some other people who choose Steve Jobs as well, but, but that's really my own choice. And it's funny because it doesn't even go that far. You know, Steve Jobs wasn't is not alive anymore for not that many years. But the sad part for me is that I, so first of all, I became interested in Steve Jobs by reading the book called Always Start With Why, which is a video I just recently made about the most influential book in my life. And in that book, Steve Jobs and Apple are mentioned many times. So I became interested because I like the book so much and I like the stories about jobs. I decided to go and listen to the audiobook of Steve Jobs biography, which is a really, really nice book. And it just really, really caught my interest. I loved how Steve Jobs used to ask the question of why of everything, you know, why am I buying this chair and not that one? Why am I buying this table or why are we satisfied with the way mobile phones work or MP3 players work? You know, he questioned everything and that's I think that was his super part. That's what drove him. He was not satisfied about so many things and that drove him to do something about it. And I know that Steve Jobs is a controversial figure. I mean, you know, he wasn't apparently a very nice person to work with. But then at the same time, he pushed people forward to really surpass their own expectations about themselves. There's many stories where he did that and also to he kind of made me question because I value being a nice person. I like to be liked by people, but then Jobs wasn't worried about that. And I think that was a strength in him as well. Obviously, not a nice part too, but the strength and the sense that he didn't care that much about what people think. He didn't stress the importance of wanting to be liked by people. And that allowed him, I witnessed through listening to his story, how that allowed him to make decisions which he wouldn't otherwise make. He made some difficult, unpleasant decisions which were important. And he pushed things forward and wanting to be liked was not in his way. And I think that kind of inspired me to... I still try to be as nice to people as I can, but that made me question if that's really worth it all the time. Or sometimes if it's not important to sometimes be an asshole for the sake of the greater whole. But again, Steve Jobs is such a big personality and there's so much to talk about him. But yeah, coming back to the beginning of the story, I was quite upset that he died before I was able to meet him. I won't have that chance anymore. I'm really interested to get into his mind and to talk to him and to see how he really works. What's the person behind the story, the legend. But yeah, so I was sad when I finished the audiobook. I was sad that I will never get to meet him, but it is what it is. But that's his number one in my list and the other one is actually quite short. It's not as... I mean, I could elaborate, but I think the answer is pretty simple. I usually say two individuals, so a live person who's still alive. So it's Christopher Nolan or Christian Bale. Obviously both connected to Batman, which is a big figure in my life. How do you say that? Fantasy figure, but still... Nevertheless, the fact that they are connected with Batman through those movies, that wouldn't be necessarily my main subject to talk to them with, although I would be fascinated to talk to them about that. But beyond that, I really admire Christian Bale as an actor. How focused he is and how he completely allows himself to be swallowed by whatever he's portraying. I really respect that kind of focus and dedication, why he was, I think, perfect to play Batman. So I would be interested to talk to him and see how his mind works. And also Christopher Nolan. I think Christopher Nolan is kind of a Batman himself in movies. He has a very clear vision. He's very driven, very dedicated, very intellectual. When I listen to him talk, he very much also kind of stresses the why. He always thinks about why he's doing things and he has a reason behind his actions, like a deep reason, a well thought out reason. And that inspires me as well. And I'd love to sit down and talk to him about, again, how his mind works. And I'm sure if I would think longer, I could decide and find some other people. But those are the first two that come to my mind. And I think I would definitely enjoy having dinner with them. A lot of people, I guess, are surprised that I'm not choosing martial artists, but at the same time, you know, I met some quite legendary figures already. I have that wonderful opportunity. So it's not necessarily that much on my list, a priority to meet them. But yeah, I think in general meeting incredible people is very inspiring and very beneficial because it shows us and reminds us of how much more we could actually be in our own lives. That these people are extraordinary, not just because they were born extraordinary, but it's because they worked their ass off and because they invested them so much in their own field. And they not only worked hard, but also they pushed the limits, pushed the barriers. Usually that's the common rule behind these individuals and they have a certain mindset. They look at things differently. And I really love that about extraordinary people and I love meeting them because you get a sense of that and it reminds you that you can become an extraordinary person as well. So yeah, that's what I wanted to share in this video. But most of all, I really just want to include you in the process. Let me know what you think. So who are your individuals that you would choose you would have dinner with and why? Let me know in the comments. I'm going to start to connect with you there and I'll see you there.
