Not what I expected in my Saturday morning email inbox but I can certainly apply it to an upcoming presentation for a job interview, both timely and inspiring. Thanks so much.

P.S. love your book, bought a copy for my friend too.

My interview panel must have liked my interpretation of Ikigai since they offered me the job!

That's very neat - thank you!

My own'creed' that I tried to live by was an less elaborate trio; I felt one should strive for work that was 1) interesting, 2) useful and 3) well paid.

If one could get two out of the three I reckoned to be doing pretty well. Few of us, I think, manage all three for any length of time, especially in the modern, over-managed surveillance work place.

Sounds like a good strategy. Always changing. Always a process.
