Becoming a “Person of Value” Is Stupid Advice Because It Means Nothing
<p>The word “value” is part of the corporation indoctrination.</p>
<p>It’s one of those words that’s thrown around and sounds smart … but no one has a clue what it really means.</p>
<p>“Become a person of value” is a common social media trite that grinds my gears and makes my big ears stick out. I just can’t stand it. Value is subjective. Value means something different to everyone.</p>
<p>So if your goal in life is to become a person of value then you’ve got no hope of succeeding. It’s like looking for the end of a rainbow that will never reveal itself because it’s an optical illusion.</p>
<p>Or it’s like the “find your calling” or “trust the law of attraction” advice. It’s all mumbo jumbo. It just confuses people.</p>
<p>When people search for the meaning of their life and stumble across this person-of-value rabbit hole, what they’re really trying to do is find a goal worth chasing.</p>
<p>They’re trying to have their life mean something. They’re trying to make a difference in the world.</p>
<p>Instead of becoming a useless person of value, do these things instead…</p>
<p>I felt lost in 2011.</p>
<p>I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and had just left a successful startup. I burned my life to the ground and wanted to rebuild it in a new way. Because I had no clue I just decided to do new things.</p>
