Right - in other words, is it fun working at a carnival? Carnivals sure seem fun!
The core mission of almost every company is pretty boring. I think that’s because human needs and wants (which is how companies create value: by meeting them) are old news. People need to eat, move stuff from place to place, talk to their friends, get paid. Big deal. Revolutionizing how those things are done: who cares?
History remembers real revolutionaries, not the people who made it easier to transact on the blockchain.
There are exceptions (SpaceX comes to mind) but generally speaking what matters is the work you personally get to do, the environment you do it in and who you do it with.
- dwaltrip 5y agoBingo. It’s important to practice appreciating the meaningfulness of the mundane. That’s where most of the real action of life is. There are also plenty of interesting ways to make improvements here. And we can still keep some time for daydreaming and chasing the next paradigm shift.
