Im channeling Peter Thiel here: there is little connection between hard and valuable. The goal of most companies is to create value, and do it without expanding too much effort.

If you really want to challenge yourself give yourself a goal like:

1. Decode the genome 2. Find the correlation between all aspects of someones lifestyle, diet, and their health. 3. Solve poverty - maybe there is an economic solution.

The world is full of hard problems, but you have to take the lead if you want to work on them.
