Look my friend, i am a software professional and in the industry for a very long time and with exp i am telling u. i have gone thru a lot to just stay where i am. and i get a feeling that it is not worth it. yes. we all need money. but for that if we are pushing ourselves to the extent that it spoils the health and general happiness, then? More than 30 years are over in my life in trying to run along, in competition at various levels and what is that i am tring to prove? sometimes we would be more happy if we don't keep high ambitions and expectations. u tend to buckle under that weight. we all have only one life to lead and being healthy and being happy is the most improtant thing. and one thing is certain. Happiness is not there in Money. No wealthy man was ever happy.
