Why is it that way? coz people with more money are given more respect. So here is the catch, we as a society do not have to give more respect to people just coz they have more money.

Thanks for passing along this information! Amanda Linehans last blog post..Letting Go Of Others; Give The Same Space You Would Want

Robert, I am sure that the book will be very interesting to peruse. My problem if anything, is that I am accused often of being completely insensitive! rummusers last blog post..Movie Scenes That Have Stayed With Me.

Thanks for the mention! You covered 4 great points here. Stress, visibility, curiosity, and career management, all things that I am currently trying to manage myself. I'm definitely going to check out the book. - Jun Jun Loayzas last blog post..Future Delivery TV: Episode 8 - Blogs/Economy’s effect on startups
