There is something in me that rejects work every time I come back from vacation
or when I have a moment to really stop and think about
my life and the example I sat and will in the future for my kids.
I believe that having kids is not enough.
Its what they get from you as a parent that really matters.
Growing up in a house were having kids was as breathing, as a fact that needs to be intertwine
into life and not as should I invest some years in my career and then, or should we have kids at all.
The goal in life was the family. Finish high school, going to the army (optional mandatory), getting a job, getting married and … That’s it.
In-between there were no thoughts about what my kids will say about me, will they be proud, should I peruse a different career path because then ill be more with my kids. Non of it happened in my house.
I don’t know if my million readers know that I’m a commercial real estate broker in Manhattan.
sometimes I feel like Gordon Gekko.
Sometimes I feel that there has to be a better way to make money
then telling white lies all day long (i can see a new post coming soon in my future),
choosing aimlessly which area to target next and knowing that my fellow coworkers have their
own best interest above all. I know I sound gloomy but should I give up ?
Should I just accept the fact that every industry is like that and to really really succeed
you have to be the bully in school.
That the guys that came up with finding nemo are motivated solely by greed and that there cannot be good will, honesty,
and people one can trust in order to truly appreciate life, succeed and flurish ?
I know I sound naïve but something about my daughter discovering knock-knock jokes, observing and saying
direct things without the need to think of the consequences (abba look, she is fat and old, she is so funny).
Something about that stick to me all the time and makes me think that it never left and that its me that
is quiting this voices for whatever adult reason.
I hope to find my way really soon, and there is no "or else" at the end.
