The problem with hype is that it rarely ever stands the test of time. I have been a keen observer of the global tech scene for a while (my hobby is actually watching the world) and I have observed that the most hyped people and products almost never delivers upon the hype. It is the people nobody are watching, people that nothing were expected from that goes on to do the great things. (Oh, of course the hypers changes focus and start hyping these ones too)
So, if your life’s work is to move mountains, you must ignore and resist the temptation to chase hype that has no substance behind it. You must keep the real goals in view and keep examining yourself to see if you truly still on track.
Do not optimize for hype or build your career upon empty hype, those who do simply fizzle out.
Work hard as much as you can, if you get hyped by the media, make the most of it. But for the most part, men of vision do not do hype. We should forget the hype and build up real substance.
