A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of hearing Seth Godin speak in New York at the World Innovation Forum. I have always been a big fan of Seth, but getting to experience his enthusiasm and passion first hand has really made me “hear” his writing differently. I love the follow message from his latest blog post :
“There’s a difference between achieving your goals and realizing your work matters.
If you have a book to write, write it. If you want to record an album, record it. No need to wait for someone in a cubicle halfway across the country to decide if you’re worthy.”
I’m not sure if it’s because we are the generation with or if a natural side-effect of being young is seeking approval but I think Seth’s message is certainly a good reminder. Do you find yourself seeking praise from your higher-ups in the work place?
