Legends like Godel and people who won the Turing did not doing so all by themselves. The media made us see them as genius who think on another level, but in reality, they also built upon countless unknown researches before them. The world is actually built by nameless people like us. The legends are simply symbols representing the work of people before them, not goals for ourselves. Your work has value. Don't ever let anyone (read: employers and yourself) belittle them. Employers devalue your work so they can pay you less. You devalue your work because you compare it with the accumulated work of thousands of people across generations, which is downright silly, don't you think?
