Don't waste your resources
Don't work logically at your workplace. Work as they demand from you.
You will save yourself from the hassle, misunderstanding, and kept your power to use it for wiser goals.
Workplaces that don't care how hard you work don't deserve you to think critically, spend all your energy on their problems and think about innovations. They will be the most happy when you act as a soldier, so don't waste your energy to do more in other ways.
Do the expected thing in the one expected way and the applause will be coming.
Build for Yourself
With the energy you save by acting average and expected, you could build your own future.
Just don't forget to change back to your original, tireless, idealist, creative self when you leave the theater, and immediately start working on your dreams.
