Wholesome stuff I was 26 and thoroughly and deeply in love with my first girlfriend . There is nothing more that I want to do apart from spend time with her And yet I had to tear myself away every morning to go to the bs corporate grind as one of the tiniest cogs There, and then I realise that money and the pursuit of wealth is not going to bring me the thing I want most Connection and time with those that I love And undertaking activities together can be achieved for so much less than staying in a five star hotel in Dubai That experience cured me really quickly of purely capitalist ambition Though I really have to say, being stuck in a dead end, menial job didn’t encourage my faith in the system . And my desperate attempt to escape my lack of self-worth and loneliness caused me to prioritise chasing tail, even more than a young man usually would Rather than investing in myself . Chasing the dregs of the capital of society kept me more than busy. Unfortunately, she left , had a invested in myself… then that would not of left me. I get what Alex is saying about, adding family and human connection right at the top of your achievements pyramid But if you’re struggling to get the base in the middle going, there’s no point in that . Prioritising relationship over the creation phase is undercutting the foundation of a pyramid And a rather stupid thing to do 🤷♀️

I'm "just a senior computer support technician", and with the right oppurtunity, I could probably advance in leadership, and so on. But the important things to me is the dancing, being as healty as I can with my illesses. It's not something that I'm forced to do, it's something that I do when I have the will and motivation for it. Work in the end is just work. What made me myself? Well, my illnesses and struggle has been a limiting factor in persuing some careers. I wanted to be a professional dancer, a pilot, a subway driver. The computer and electonics that became my career were more of a hobby, and that career was more or less forced upon me by the authorities, when I was in my worse shape. It's not that it's a bad career, and for a long time I was unhappy with it. Now, it has enabled me to work on my people skills, and made me the people person I am today. Tech is just a side thing in my job. Most of the time, the interpersonal relationship with colleagues from all moods and backgrounds must be handled in a respectful and psychological matter. That's the person that I love having become. This is my career now, and I just have 12 years left to work, is it worth chasing more for status, fame, advancment? Not really in work, but oh so much on my spare time. That's why I love this clip, it just spoke to me, that I really am in the right spot right now.
