Career is what you engage yourself in for your livelihood and survival. It can be a job, some business or professional activity. Your career gives you an identity and status in your society or community. It makes you rich or poor depending upon which career you have chosen and how seriously you are involved with it. Most of us spend the prime of our lives in pursuit of success and happiness through our careers.
Some people over do it, ignoring the other areas in their lives and pay dearly for it in the end.
We may go out and achieve enormous success. We may win the hearts and minds of many people in society. But it is ultimately family to which we turn when we are deeply hurt or feel rejected or depressed. To be a part of a family is a valuable experience. It teaches us the true values of sharing and loving, of selflessness and true caring for others.
