After listening to Stan Christensen and reading about Randy Haykin I feel that we should not just pursue the path of greatest wealth or power but truly do something we can enjoy. Christensen advised against taking a job just to get somewhere, but he said to do something somewhere you can prosper. This advice seems echoed in how Haykin drove his career path. He chose jobs and companies that fit where he wanted to go and what he wanted to do, and when he wanted a change he created that as well. My grandpa said that entrepreneurship is very fulfilling, and I think as long as you are enjoying it, going where you want to go, doing those things you hoped to do, then it will be.
Christensen additionally noted that work is called work for a reason, they pay you for a reason...it's not all enjoyable. Even Haykin has things he hates to do, or hurdles he must climb in his journey. However if the good things, the enjoyable things, those things that bring us closer to our goals outweigh the bad things, then I would call the overall experience fulfilling and enjoyable. There is plenty of things I don't look forward to, but there is even more that I do.
