This doesn’t always mean that the best jobs and activities are those performed in groups, but it does mean that you’re more likely to stick with something that makes you feel like you are a part of something greater. There are many ways to achieve this: Are you working with others? Does your work touch others? Is your work a continuation of what others have done before you? Is your work setting the stage for others to build upon? Does your work make you part of a community, be it a physical or intellectual one? Whatever form the connection takes, that connection is critical.
