That encounter with a stranger reminded me that the key to a fulfilling career is not about chasing external rewards—it’s about finding joy in the work itself. It’s about aligning your career with your core values and passions.
The Bottom Line
The most important lesson I learned from this stranger was simple: Your career should be about doing what excites you, not just what you think you “should” be doing. Success doesn’t come from titles or promotions alone; it comes from pursuing work that feels meaningful to you.
