There is this concept, Hero's journey:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero%27s_journey

The fact is that society benefits and advance because some humans do extraordinary things, for example the Guthemberg's printer, crossing the Ocean,antibiotics, diodes, transistors, computers, going to the moon...

Society rewards you because you give the society. And it is a good thing, because the cultures that do that improve, and the cultures that not collapse.

I am in Spain right now which has a more socialistic culture, "subsidizing everything" and punishing the productive(progressive taxing). In lots of ways the society is collapsing because of that,everybody wanting to be subsidized,lots of unemployment, debt skyrocketing and productive people leaving to other countries.
