3. Letter to You

Dear baby
  On a different note, I thought that I should share a few thoughts about my work and the personal conclusions and decisions I've made concerning it.
  Until now, from the day my potential career became a reality, I've contemplated (have even been quite troubled) as to how far I was willing to go for it. The most recent conclusion I made is that if I wanted to put career above family I should have chosen to remain single. My career may suffer for a lifetime at its worst, but my family could suffer for my wrong actions for generations. And everyone knows, apart from a few millionaires, that family is unquestionably more important than career.
  Seeing that I'm on the side of setting value and investing worth in family I've decided to rise to the challenge of meeting the giants of poverty face-to-face. The freakiest thought to any true man is being unable to care for his family. Being unable to do so cuts at the core of his manliness and self-confidence. Which is why I guess we have a tendency to swing the pendulum too far towards career rather than family. We make the excuse that career brings financial security, and that that is our number-one duty to our family.
  So, though it's a little bit of a scary risk for me to say no to some work demands because of family needs, I've concluded that I don't really have a choice. My family comes before work.
