“If you are working to please a company or boss then get ready for disappointment. You cannot make a goal to please someone else. You have to tell yourself you want to understand something – because then you’ll never get disappointed. Even if someone publishes something related to the work you’re doing, that’s ok. Because that will help you understand that particular part of your work. It just takes a small change in perspective and you could be so much happier.”
