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.
