Love from other's and giving Love in return is the ONLY thing that really matters in Life. Corny? Yes but true. Iven

Your answer depends on who you are. I don't think there is a wrong answer.
If you are a guy who puts career over family, you do the gig and many (probably most) very successful people choose this option. If you are a guy who puts family over career, you go to the theatre, and many very happily married people would choose this option. There is a wonderful book with the unfortunate title of How To Get Rich written by Felix Dennis, founder of Dennis Media and truly one of the richest men in the world who gives very good advice: Be careful before you decide you want to become rich. You will have no family, no children, no friends. But you will be rich which lets you buy your own island and do anything your heart desires. I have to admit, as an entrepreneur I often choose work over family. I look at certain friends of mine who have a very happy and close family relationships and I envy that but they didn't have the career I had, and I had (have) a pretty cool career which I love. Everything you do is a choice and each choice sets up the opportunities you have ahead of you. |

"Many rich people have great family lives."
usually those are the people who inherited their money. Not those who made it. |

Truthfully it seems like a fiddlers invitation. Oh look at the cute magician. Pass the O devours. And while at it pass it up which It seems as you did. Correct thing to do.
If I were to agree with you. Then we would both be wrong. As of Apr 5, 2015 10:26 pm I have 880 posts. Used to have over 1,000

LOL! Have you ever worked real cruise ships? If you make a living, you'll do more than your act.

That's a fact, Bob. When I was working on Holland-America Cruises in the early seventies (on the Rotterdam and the Statendam) all of us did a lot more than just our acts- I was the "Voice From the Bridge" (giving daily weather and activity updates over the ships' communication system), ran a game booth at the weekly "Dutch Country Fair," called Bingo games and wooden horse racing, was the late night DJ in the lounge, did tours of the bridge, acted as an emcee for other acts and occasionally worked the lights as well. That plus I did different mental acts in the Lounge Show, the stage show and the midnight late show in the Ritz Carlton lounge on the Rotterdam.
