Enjoyably Unforgettable

One of the things that struck me during my busy week last week was that for the vast majority of us our working lives will be fairly unforgettable. As much as I’d like to be remembered for curing cancer or inventing a new product that revolutionises water management techniques across the globe, the chances are that it is not going to happen. Although this doesn’t negate the highly positive effect that one can have on individuals around you, given this overriding sad fact of forgettable-ness (not a word I know mother, not even with a hyphen), I was led to draw the conclusion that you’re probably better off doing something that you enjoy doing with people you enjoy working with. Hmmm, I agree that all in all, my conclusion is rather unsurprising and well used. That said possibly not the classical starting point for today’s little gem of irrelevance.
