How to Find The Perfect Career

We spend almost 25 percent of our adult life in our jobs, which most of us hate. So we basically wake up every morning and do something which we don’t even like to do.

We need to find a career that does not make us miserable all the time, and according to the Japanese concept of IKIGAI, it is the intersection of three things:

1. What we value.
2. What we are good at.
3. What the world values.

What we are passionate about is often superficial, but what we value, we can do no matter how difficult the circumstances, because we derive meaning and value from it. It is different from a compulsion or an addiction.

We need to ask three questions to direct our energy:

1. What big problem exists that people don’t care enough about?
2. What problems do you enjoy tackling just for fun, but others don’t?
3. What do you naturally start to do when left on your own?
