That's what the book "Black Swan" by Nasem Taleb recommends as well. Basically, he says that if you're working on something that working on things that depend on a huge scale, they also require a huge amount of luck for it to work out, compared to to thinks that don't require scale, which are more likely to be succesful based on the amount of work put in. There's a smaller opportunity for large reward, but a larger chance of getting any reward period.
