Why your job should make you uncomfortable

There’s a guy I know who’s simply amazing at his job. He’s an executive level creative at a global marketing agency, and besides being great to work with, he has an eye for visual design that’s pretty much unparalleled. He rocks it every single time.

But he’s also terrified most of the time; he told me as much. As good as he is, and as good as he’s proven himself to be, he’s scared that the next project will go spectacularly wrong or that it won’t be beautiful in the ways he knows it can be.
