The majority of my income however comes with more risky investments but with careful planning and risk management it is highly unlikely those will end up failing. Will u rather be stuck in a tedious job working long hours each day or pull up ur socks and start learning how to live life the right way? I still have great admiration for doctors for all the sacrifices they make to keep us healthy and wealthy but I just couldn't get round the fact of why so many of them are willing to sacrifice so much of their life to care for people who are unrelated to them. Maybe I'm selfish and I'm the worst human being but ultimately I care more for myself and my family than for people unrelated to me. Huge respect to the doctors. It's such a pity
Not all doctors are selfless BTW.

But if you aren't a professional you will never be able to understand the satisfaction that comes with honing your skills in a chosen profession and possibly becoming very competent in the field.

Money is fantastic but so is being better at what you do everyday.

There are many high earning people in all sorts of fields who continue to work insane hours and participate actively professionally until they're 70 or even 80 years old. Do you think they do it for money?
