The fundamental desire that we all share is the desire to touch another life. It's a desire worth pursuing. At what scale is up to you.
Explanation: At our core, all we want to do is touch another life through our actions. All our ambitions stem from this desire. If they come from something else, they won't last forever. Whether you're doing a job, building a company or product, creating content, making friends in school, or working to take care of your family, what keeps you going (after the money part is sorted) is the sense that you're touching someone's life. If you take that away, you'll quit in no time.
What makes a job or education boring is the lack of a sense that your work is reaching people and making a difference in their lives.
You can make any work exciting with this understanding.
