Sometimes we need to relax by going to some beautiful places and focus on relaxing that stressing ourselves in business hehe

Honestly, I don't think I could manage that kind of lifestyle. Some people can, and that's great for them, but I don't honestly think it's for me. I do like being able to have time for myself and time with my family.

To each his own. Every one has different likes and interests. A passion may be in sports, arts, businesses, office work, etcetera. No one is the same. What is important is the degree of happiness or satisfaction that we derive from our daily existence. Money is not the goal, neither the lifestyle. A fisherman could be so happy when he is out in the sea fishing.

Money is important, but we only have one life to live and it's better to enjoy some relaxed time. We do not bring money with us when we die.

"Make money when you're young." That's often the advice I'm given. Earn it while you can, and build a business you can enjoy. Then you won't be stressed later as much. I'm still working on the building part. I could say that I've been working on pieces of it since the early 2000s. Once established, I may or may not be rich (I'd need to work super hard to get there), but it would allow me to have peace of mind and a steady income later in life if I just keep it up periodically, and not all at once.

Shadi, I'd like to be successful career-wise, but without being a workaholic. Being a workaholic is a problem because you end up missing out on other enjoyable aspects of life. And you may neglect other important aspects of your life.

People who are constantly working "Workaholics" tend to not relax as they should and often their health and families suffer. Working is fine, having good income is as well. But money is not everything. It cannot by youth, or love or happiness, it cannot buy peace of mind or good relationships. That man sounds too busy and too uptight. We should be content in what God gives us and trust he knows best and will always supply what we need when it is needed.

I was working in responsible positions in organizations but drew a line. I did not want to be on call after office hours and I knew it restricted my career progression. I wanted a balanced life - work is for a comfortable life and and life is not for work per se. I have no regrets with the path I took and now I am retired I worked for one who was intent on becoming very rich and his life was stressful. Possessions beyond needs are a liability - as simple as that! siva

If I had a lot of money, I would never spend all of my time worrying about it and striving to make more - I would be sure to have me time to relax and smell the roses. When we die we cannot take our riches with us all will be left behind for someone else to enjoy - and life goes on.
