This primary question of life organization is immensely important. If making money is the main goal, a person can often forget what his or her true interests are or how he or she wants to deserve recognition from others. It is much more difficult to add on other values to a life that started out with just making money in mind than it is to make some personally interesting endeavor financially possible or even profitable.

About This Quote

Many people take their jobs and the money that comes with them for granted and don't realize how important they are until they don't have them anymore.
