NOTE

The concept of Ikegai and its application to life and career choices

The concept of Ikegai is the intersection of what you're good at, what you love, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for. Finding this intersection can lead to a fulfilling life and career. Additionally, there are other intersections with interesting ways to label them, but the most satisfying one is the intersection of all four spheres. It's easy to choose a job or path where you have three but not four, which can lead to feeling like something important is just out of reach. Overall, Ikegai provides a great framework for thinking about life and career choices.
