I am always in for the long haul. Relationships are for the long haul.

The market may tank the next day, disasters happen etc and all the money might be wiped out. And it really doesn't matter because you can simply pick yourself up and start from where it is Work is just work, money is just money, nothing more, nothing less, a small part of life.

Success is always a journey. Agree with being on the right or the wrong side of things. It's true. No point slogging in the wrong direction. No point thinking that there's security in the job we hold. We need to invest in ourselves to be relevant and valuable to the company. Companies will not invest in us. They pay us to do a certain work or function, and that's that.


"Good post, I totally agree especially spending time with people who are important to us regardless of stature.

I too keep a circle of friends many of which are more successful then myself and I am really happy for, they work hard for it and deserve every bit they have. I value the friendship we have which is based on trust and mutual respect and advise / knowledge shared by them from their vast experiences.

Its an uncommon trait to find these days successful yet humble, judging from the sheer volume of pretentious pricks on this forum makes that evident."
