It's a mistake to dwell too much on the consequences of a piece of work that you're making.
Being a part of success is more important than being personally indispensable.
If you're doing creative work, that work should never feel trivial - even if what you're doing is for hire or lightly intended. Even the mundane doesn't have to be trivial.
If a job is worth doing, it's worth doing poorly first.
Whatever you do may seem insignificant to you, but it is most important that you do it.

I think it's important to do a good job and not to feel that you've got to make grand gestures, but just to get on and deliver.

I have found it advisable not to give too much heed to what people say when I am trying to accomplish something of consequence. Invariably they proclaim it can't be done. I deem that the very best time to make the effort.
Nothing you do particularly matters. But I'm not sure that's a great excuse for doing it poorly.
