Just Do What You Want

Oftentimes our professional career turns into just meeting other people’s expectations.

• Boss wants you to read x book
• Your job requires y skill to be successful
• Your promotion criteria requires z capability

And then life quickly turns into checking off items on other people’s lists. And then employers’ complain about the “lack of engagement” in their workforce.

What about instead focusing on what you want to learn? And the skills you want to develop?

That sounds like a fulfilling life.
