This was many years ago. I treated my boss as my mentor and believe he saw a protege in me. We were having dinner after a day-long meeting out of the station.
He told how he was regularly offered higher sums to switch jobs but he kept refusing them. I was surprised because of my then-rookie mind, I would jump to such offers. That’s when he said something very important – ‘Money alone cannot guarantee the quality of life.’ He was happy with his life and had everything going – money, challenges, freedom, relationships. The higher sums of money would have resulted in a lower quality of life which he refused.
When making life decisions, keep your quality of life in mind. Money is just an indicator and a cause, but a lot of other things go into having a higher quality of life. Analyze and decide.
