Exploring the Craftsman and Passion Mindsets

The craftsman mindset focuses on what one can offer the world, while the passion mindset revolves around what one can gain from the world. It's highlighted that developing a craftsman mindset may not happen immediately, but over time as seen in the example of a long-serving university secretary who found immense value and importance in her role. The human mind tends to rationalize things it enjoys, seeking to find meaning and significance, and every job is considered important and meaningful in some way. The advice is to start with practicality and utility, as all jobs ultimately hold significance by providing value and earning income.
