Inamori Kazuo said that in order to have a fulfilling life, you have only two options:

Do the work you like, or make yourself like it.

There are also two different paths in life :

If you choose the first path , you may eventually be promoted to become a boss, a partner, and live a bright and beautiful life in the eyes of others, but you will feel that life is becoming less and less meaningful and fulfilling.

But if you choose the  second path, even if it fails for a while, the work itself is a kind of reward, and your life is still more meaningful.

There is no right or wrong in life, and success always belongs to the struggler.
