Thanks for sharing this, I came across the same material in a different format (either slides or may be a video couple of years back, can't exactly remember). What stuck to me is "If you are not working on an important problem, your work is not important". I tried to take a positive spin from this statement by considering whatever work I am currently doing is important enough to solve an important problem but it's really hard to convince yourself after some time when it is clearly not. Needless to say, I am still looking for that important problem.
