Fast Company recently published a widely shared post, "8 Reasons To Choose A Startup Over A Corporate Job," that almost exactly reflects conventional wisdom in Silicon Valley. While I truly appreciate the perspective of choosing a startup over a corporate job, I thought I would provide an alternate perspective, largely from my own personal experience.
Now, truth be told, my data point is pretty limited on large companies--EMC is my primary point of reference as my current employer. Depending on the culture of the organization and role you have, your experience could be wildly different. But if I were to use EMC as a proxy for a “large company” or a “corporate job,” I thought it would be worthwhile to highlight the key benefits that a company like EMC can provide to your learning experience that a startup would find hard to match. Ultimately, as is said by many people far smarter than me, go where your passion lies and the rest will follow. [Image: Flickr user Richard] How to Do What You Love.
January 2006 To do something well you have to like it. That idea is not exactly novel. We've got it down to four words: "Do what you love. " But it's not enough just to tell people that. Doing what you love is complicated. The very idea is foreign to what most of us learn as kids. And it did not seem to be an accident. The world then was divided into two groups, grownups and kids. Teachers in particular all seemed to believe implicitly that work was not fun. I'm not saying we should let little kids do whatever they want. Once, when I was about 9 or 10, my father told me I could be whatever I wanted when I grew up, so long as I enjoyed it. Jobs By high school, the prospect of an actual job was on the horizon. The main reason they all acted as if they enjoyed their work was presumably the upper-middle class convention that you're supposed to.
Why is it conventional to pretend to like what you do? What a recipe for alienation. The most dangerous liars can be the kids' own parents. Bounds Notes. How to Find Your Purpose and Do What You Love. “Find something more important than you are,” philosopher Dan Dennett once said in discussing the secret of happiness, “and dedicate your life to it.” But how, exactly, do we find that? Surely, it isn’t by luck. I myself am a firm believer in the power of curiosity and choice as the engine of fulfillment, but precisely how you arrive at your true calling is an intricate and highly individual dance of discovery. Still, there are certain factors — certain choices — that make it easier.
Gathered here are insights from seven thinkers who have contemplated the art-science of making your life’s calling a living. Every few months, I rediscover and redevour Y-Combinator founder Paul Graham’s fantastic 2006 article, How to Do What You Love. What you should not do, I think, is worry about the opinion of anyone beyond your friends. More of Graham’s wisdom on how to find meaning and make wealth can be found in Hackers & Painters: Big Ideas from the Computer Age. 16. 28.
This is your life. Luxury Consumption. Demand for luxury goods can be seen as a bellweather of burgeoning economies, as wealthy population segments consume more leather goods, clothes, watches, liquor and other high-end goods during boom times. The epicenter of this industry is in Europe, where companies such as LVMH, Swatch and Hermes have established dominant portfolios of luxury goods in a largely consolidated market. However, some of the most interesting regions of luxury consumption are Japan and China: Japan consumes luxury goods twice as much per capita compared to the U.S.; luxury goods consumption in this country is largely unaffected by recession, as evidenced by strong demand during the prolonged economic slowdown recently China is playing an increasingly important role in both outsourcing manufacturing for many luxury goods companies as well as end consumption.
If its economy continues to grow at a double digit rate, China will drive a large portion of the growth in the industry. Error creating thumbnail Japan. Maria Popova: Observer Media: Design Observer. The Power of Habit and How to Rewire Our "Habit Loops" By Maria Popova What Iraqi kebob vendors have to do with your New Year’s resolutions. As a young man, Benjamin Franklin set out to improve himself by devising a chart-based log for tracking his progress against the virtues he identified as essential to good personhood.
Each week, he would pick a virtue to cultivate, then put a black pencil mark in his calendar chart on any day he failed to uphold the virtue. This visual feedback on his progress encouraged him, and allowed him to move to a different virtue the following week, hoping that each week would leave him with a “habitude” for that particular virtue. We try to reverse-engineer willpower and flowchart our way to happiness, but in the end, it is habit that is at the heart of our successes and our failures. Duhigg first became fascinated by the power of habit eight years ago, while in Baghdad as a newspaper reporter. So the major summoned Kufa’s mayor and made a strange request: Get the food vendors out of the plaza. Donating = Loving.
