I think i would rather enrich the lives of others aswell as myself.
We cant all be software engineers.
I built myself up from a warehouse to a job administering computer networks. Ive still got a ways to go but i didnt do it by myself. I had help from my family, my colleagues ans friends. And i didnt leave them behind. I encoraged and helped many of my colleagues in my previous role to aim high and some follwed me up the ladder.
If you are only out for number one then you will go far. But i cant be like that. I dont believe anyone, including myself, is any more deserving of a better life than anyone else. Why fight eachother to reach the top when we can all go together?
