I Get by with a Little Help from My Friends

So what is in my head...

I am 22 years of age and I just graduated college with a degree in general management. Like many other graduates I am looking for a job. I know our economy is not in the greatest of places and job availability, especially in business, is scarce.  To buy a house, settle down, and grow up is something that I have always dreamt about. A job and money are two things that I really need right now to get rolling and pursue my lifelong dream. But that is not all that has been in my head...

The other day I read a story. A man found out he was going to be fired. This man treated his clients very poorly by anything he could to make money. The man realized the lifestyle he was living and felt terrible. About to be jobless, this man had to find a way to make things right with his clients. He couldn't bare to live a life by the way he treated his clients on his back. Before the man was fired, he paid off all his clients who owed him money. The man's action was to show his clients he cared about his relationship with them more than he did about the money.

Part of me wants to pursue my dream life, but the rest of me realizes that this dream is worthless without people to share it with. I have been blessed with so many friends and have met so many amazing people in this life. Money has never been an issue for me and I believe this is why I have been blessed with friends. Being spoiled is not what I am saying here. What I am saying is that the friendships that you have should outweigh the money you have in your bank account. Money can only take you so far. The friendships you share with others are endless. Focus on the people not your bank account.


Cheers!
