... It Doesn't Smell Any Better The More You Pile It Up!
"
There rarely is a conflict between a person’s strengths and the way that person performs. The two are complementary. But there is sometimes a conflict between a person’s values and that same person’s strengths. What one does well — even very well — and successfully may not fit with one’s value system... I, too, many years ago, had to decide between what I was doing well and successfully, and my values. I was doing extremely well as a young investment banker in London in the mid-1930s; it clearly fitted my strengths. Yet I did not see myself making a contribution as an asset manager of any kind. People, I realized, were my values. And I saw no point in being the richest man in the cemetery. I had no money, no other job in a deep Depression, and no prospects. But I quit — and it was the right thing. Values, in other words, are and should be the ultimate test.” –Peter F. Drucker

"Earning A Living" Guidelines to Abide By: 1) Everything is owned by God, not anything by us; 2) People are more important than things; so use things, not people; 3) Money is always subordinate to good; never let it rival God's foremost place in one's heart.
Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have; for He has said "I will never leave you or forsake you" Hebrews 13:5
