“The riskiest thing you can do now is be safe… The safe thing to do now is to be at the fringes, be remarkable. And being very good is one of the worst things you can possibly do. Very good is boring. Very good is average… If it’s very good, it’s not going to work, because no one’s going to notice it.”
Ruchi Sanghvi: From Facebook to Facing the Unknown
Ruchi Sanghvi started her career at Facebook when the company was just a tiny operation headquartered above a Chinese restaurant. She rode the company to the height of its success and then, when she no longer felt passionate about her work, she faced her fears, took the plunge, and quit Facebook to start her own company. The moral of her story is that the feeling of security you get from a so-called “stable job” is worthless if you don’t feel inspired.
