It ca n be a scoreca rd , not the f inal score

’m the last person you would expect to downplay the impor-
Itance of money, since I’ve been fortunate to earn lots of it.
People associate me with money, and it’s given me a remarkable
life. But making money should not be your primary purpose
because if it is, you can end up with little else.
In reality, most of us need to make money; we have bills to
pay. However, other objectives can be equally, or more, impor-
tant, including the stimulation and satisfaction you receive from
your work and its challenges. There’s also the pleasure of helping
others and doing good or the opportunity to learn, grow, and deal
with outstanding people, to name just a few.
Think of your business career as a long-term venture that will
occupy you for the rest of your life. Always build for tomorrow
