Weekend readings - 12 Nov, 2021 : Edition 66

A compilation of few interesting, multi-disciplinary links from the internet

“Should you change something big in your life? Should you switch departments or take on a new role? Should you quit your job and start a business? I can’t tell you that. What I do know is you shouldn’t settle when it comes to work and career. If you’re going to work hard, you should find it satisfying and meaningful. Work is too much a part of your life and identity not to. The right career for you is out there, and it’s worth a lot of searching—years, even—to find it. Take some risks; blow it all up if you have to. And start anew. After all, most risks aren’t really risky. Isn’t the biggest risk of all that you’ll waste your life doing what you don’t really enjoy doing, making compromise after compromise?” —Jim Koch (“Quench Your Own Thirst”)
