<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ikandiggit, post: 909278, member: 16269&quot;]I&#039;ve been at the top- living in a penthouse apartment with a very lucrative business, very expensive clothes etc. and I&#039;ve been at the bottom, living in a one room suite when the bottom dropped out and I lost everything. That has happened to me twice. Once when the boom ended in the eighties and once when I was a victim of arson and had no insurance. I could have chosen to play the blame-game and make everyone pay for my losses but instead I chose to take strides to improve my situation. I began washing dishes in a restaurant to make a living and while there I absorbed all I could about cooking techniques. Eventually, I became a cook in the high-end restaurant and was considered an equal to my peers who were all well trained. Today, I&#039;m a Chef in a small restaurant. My income allows me the freedom to explore my hobbies and my art and I have accumulated enough savings over the last four years to slip into semi-retirement. I, certainly am not wealthy but I am content and at peace of mind. I have only my living expenses to worry about. Everything I have, is bought and paid for. </p><p><br /></p><p>In my friends&#039; eyes, I&#039;m considered an over-night success but it&#039;s taken me twenty years to do it.</p><p><br /></p><p>It all depends on what choices we make that determines our life paths.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
