Money vs. Happiness
| posted by Fast Company staffThere was a great article in Fast Company (back in May) by Nate Nickerson (former FC managing editor): "Priorities, on the Brink". In it, he posed an awesome question:
When you go to work, whose dream are you making a reality?
Wow, what a question!
In the article Nate candidly talks about managing his career (life) in an open and very heartfelt way. I was personally touched by his words and what he shared.
The article got me thinking - do we work for money or for some emotional benefit? Have you ever had to choose between two jobs, one with a really good salary and the other was a job you really wanted but it didn't pay that well? If so, what did you do?
[Many thanks to Heath and the entire FC team for doing this Big BlogJam and for allowing me to participate! I really appreciate it!]

dennisI worked for my vision and desires in life. Despite, the stability of a regular salary in a big company I chose to strike out beyond the horizon. Headaches and heartaches followed. But I learned to appreciate them all for they taught me to be a better me and expanded my limits beyond I could never imagine.

brookit seems that i am visiting another blog page instead of going there where i wanted to go but, however, its not my view here. Let's think about the comments which reveals something different and u can also take a look on your own webblog page and judge if it is really good for ur website or not. If it is, then, its okay. However, my friend u have developed this webblog with very reasonable layouts and deep thinking. Really, its great and appreciable. Thanks.
