the North Star on metaphor and carrier on “The best careers are not the ones you plan for.”

Top of the pyramid is like the North Star, a guide to the direction we should go. This is not a strict determination of the path to be followed. Sometimes you will encounter obstacles as you walk. Sometimes you may discover an unexpected oasis in a direction slightly off from the direction you are traveling. Sometimes it is more beneficial to turn than to keep going straight. If you know which way is north when you turn, you can go farther in the long run.
