"How to succeed: pick the right thing to do..."
Yes. And when you wake up every 10 years and go "dang, that was not the right thing to do", you realize that, even if you were successful, you are now unhappy. This one statement "pick the right thing to do" is what mankind has struggled with for 1000s of years. I have had a number of jobs, all of my previous employers would tell you I am great, work hard, have exemplary output, but you know what, every 5 years or so, I wake up and go "wait a second, this is not what I want to do. This is not right".
Not to bash the author, but "ok kids, be sure you are right, then go for it" is great... if only any of us knew what was right.
- samanator 6y agoI took it as "pick the right thing to do" as in what you personally feel is normally right. As in "do the right thing".
