“You are alone, no family, you work like a horse, there is no one waiting for you at home.” This doesn’t sound too great, I think. But then another question pops up: “Then why do you keep doing it?” I know the answer to this question without hesitation. “Because I love it.””

And on the road to this ultimate loss, you will have created non-stop conflict in all of your relationships.”
