<blockquote>Most people want a good deal more from work than a simple paycheck. Satisfied employees are challenged and absorbed by their work. They have a measure of autonomy and discretion. And they use that autonomy and discretion to achieve a level of mastery or expertise.

<blockquote>Failure helps us. It's how we learn. Failed job applications teach us how to be better applicants. Failed relationships teach us how to be better partners. Launching products or services that bomb teaches us how to make better products and services. Failure is the path to growth. Yet we get it hammered into our brains over and over that failure is always unacceptable. That being wrong is shameful. That you get one shot and if you screw it up, it's over; you get a bad grade, and that's it. But that's not how life works at all.
