I think too that it has brought home to me a very important fact. That is that it is better to make less money by doing what you want to do and like doing rather than to make more by doing a job in which you have no real interest.
After all, the only thing you can do with money is to buy life. If the life you like costs you less why bother to earn more by doing what you dislike?
-Colonel Bob Berridge, WW2 P.O.W.
I don't usually post quotes from people but this is a very good one and not too cheesy. You can read the full story here http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4132112.stm.
Steven has always seen money as one of the ultimate goals in life. Maybe it has to do with his upbringing. His hopes and adivce for me, adela and hubert have always been along the lines of, "earn a lot of money". I lean more towards Bob Berridge's philosophy when it comes to money though. I wonder if I will actually life up to it. Wait and see, wait and see.
