What's More Important


So what’s more important, where you live or what you do for a living? Neither. Its you that's important and how you feel.

Its not important where you live. Some people think that the size or the house of the district you live in is a reflection of their persona. Well I say, aint that sad. After all its all just bricks and mortar.

Big question to my mind is are you comfortable, are you relaxed or are you constantly primping and making sure every blade of grass is just so ? Are you constantly concerned about what the neighbours think about you then get out of there.

If you aren't relaxed and happy in yourself then what's the point.

What you do for a living is a little more important but only from the perspective that you will spend many hours working and it helps if you are happy doing it.

My manager, at our annual review, constantly bugs me about career development. I keep having to remind him that I don't have a career. I am doing a job to earn the money to pay my mortgage. When the mortgage is paid off I won't need the job. What i don't tell him is that, after 30 years, I don't really like my job any more. But I do like the socialising with some of the guys in the office and some of the folks I deal with around the world. Otherwise I would have been gone a long time ago.

So bottom line, I guess I'm ever so slightly biased to what you do for a living as being the most important.
