Title: I&#x27;m curious what you consider your &quot;mission&quot; in life &amp; work?<p>I recently read &quot;So Good They Can&#x27;t Ignore You: Why Skills Trump Passion in the Quest for Work You Love&quot; by Cal Newport [1].<p>The book is divided in different &quot;rules&quot;. Rule #4 states that having a &quot;mission&quot; is important to having a meaningful and happy life, which, I understand and can agree with.
Chapter 12 uses Padris Sabeti, a &quot;Professor @harvard @broadinstitute using computational genomics to understand &amp; impact infectious disease.&quot; [2], as an example. The chapter tells her story and concludes with her having a clear mission &quot;to use new technology to fight old diseases&quot;.<p>I try from time to time to take a few steps back and review my own career and the path it&#x27;s taking. Having my own mission statement seems to fit into this review process quite nicely.
Currently, my most accurate mission would be something the lines &quot;(using new technology) to help people build what they themselves can&#x27;t build&quot;.<p>I find this an interesting topic and simply wanted to know if any of you was willing to share their own &quot;mission&quot; :)<p>Thanks in advance for your precious time! =)<p>- [1] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.goodreads.com&#x2F;book&#x2F;show&#x2F;13525945-so-good-they-can-t-ignore-you<p>- [2] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;pardissabeti<p>&#x2F;&#x2F; edit: formatting
