The cost of being rich

Perhaps its good to know that you will eventually be well remunerated, the definitive path is set in stone unless someone blows it up to a million gazillion pieces and you cant salvage it back. Well, to begin with no one said carving on stone was easy, and the saying "zhi yao you heng xin, tie bang mo chen zhen". The only catch is that no one described how long it tooked and how many hours a day that could be spent on other activities was spent rolling the bar. In a larger sense, how much will i give up to make it, more so do i need to be what i think is a standard of living i always wanted. Putting things into perspective, it sometimes ends with a no. Whilst working in the shipyard has put some good sense of how much it is worth in dollars and cents, it sometimes doesnt make much sense though. 6 days a week, maybe sometimes 7 days a week, with extended hours. Sure if i were a swinging bachelor, I would gladly put in the hours. However, its time to reconsider wat i want in life, or how things will end up in the long run. Its a tough choice, because I don't think its possible at this point to confidently pin point what I want and how much i really want it. The grass is alwasy greener on the other side, take to one side and the other temptation beckons. Although it would be also good to note that being a fence sitter would be the worst case scenerio, cause u can't get the full rewards of either side. haha.
