Both are important, but if come to the question where you must
choose one, I think the answer is obvious.
Just ask yourself, you can work until what age? 80? 90?
Some more, even you are willing to work, doesn't mean chances are
always there.
For example, I have a friend, he is a chief pilot working for local
biggest airline. He earns a lot, and has a very good prospect.
Every time we ask him when he getting a partner, and he always
answer, I am still young, and I am putting career first. Years
after years, he is no longer young. Then one day, he is one of the
many who is under the retrenchment list due to SARS outbreak.
Who can foresee all this? Before SARS, working for this local
airline is like a dream job for everybody, imagine the amount of
bonuses and rewards. So, no matter how good you can achieve,
eventually it will come to an end. Though now he is working for
another airline, but the package offered is different, and he has
to start everything again.
Though he has a BMW sport car, and a landed house, but he only able
to enjoy all this by himself alone.
Love, is something that will be by your side till the day you die
(unless she dont love you anymore), but career? At most, it will
be ended at age of 55, or even earlier.
