Synopsis
Go through 4 rules:
1. Don't follow your passion:
Passion comes afterwards
2. "Be so Good they ignore you":
Invest in your career capital. Do this by having a craftsman mindset and go through deliberate practice
3. Try to gain control over what and how you do what you do:
Have capital against control
Unless people are willing to pay for it, it's not an idea worth going after
4. Make a mission out of your career
Mission is best at the cutting edge
Do lots of little bets
The best is to have a remarquable mission in a context ready to be remarkable
