"In Praise of Obscurity"

From Musing on Photography blog :

What I would point out is that we need to pick our goals carefully, not because they are unachievable but because they’re very much achievable. It’s just that perhaps for some of us it makes more sense to pursue contentment than fame or fortune. Modern human society programs us to pursue success, and I think that’s good. At the same time modern society also programs us all to think of success in terms of money or fame, and I think it’s very much worth taking a moment to step back and try to get a little perspective on that part of it.
