Get outta' my head, Hope.<br /><br />By the way, and this will come as no surprise to you, I shared a link to your blog again on Facebook. This time it was to exploit the opportunity to send a zinger to an arrogant co-worker by quoting your summary on why less confident people are more successful.Scrollworkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09761198237613139398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6525161379578984040.post-80512811566495768422012-08-30T11:33:57.558-04:002012-08-30T11:33:57.558-04:00Well, Alison, I may be working on that eventually ...Well, Alison, I may be working on that eventually myself. 40 for 40.

Basically the book said, "Jobs are to make money. Your job is likely not going to be the most fulfilling part of your life, so find a job where you only have to work a few hours a week so you'll have more free time for the stuff that is really fulfilling." More advice than your book, I suppose, but if you find a job like that - a job where they don't NEED you there for many hours, yet pay you a big hourly wage - let me know. Susan Dnoreply@blogger.com
