Priorities

For those people who say, "I can't. I have to work."
Your work doesn't define you.  It does not make you who you are.  Although your career is a majorly important aspect of your life- it shouldn't be your entire life.

Steve Jobs knows that.
"For all of his single-minded dedication to the company he built from the ground up, Jobs actually skipped a meeting to take  [his wife] Laurene on their first date: "I was in the parking lot with the key in the car, and I thought to myself, 'If this is my last night on earth, would I rather spend it at a business meeting or with this woman?' I ran across the parking lot, asked her if she'd have dinner with me. She said yes, we walked into town and we've been together ever since."  --Taylor Hatmaker, Tecca.com "9 Things You didn't Know about Steve Jobs"


Everyone is replaceable at work- but are they replaceable in your life?
