In the process, I have also paid a high price, incorporating, marketing and customer development, promotion, multitasking 7 days a week, no vacation, insurance, and many others...

In this season of holiday gift buying, advertisers bombard us withmessages, some of them contradictory. One ad tells us that the best way for men to show love is to spend three months' salary on a piece of diamond jewelry. On the other hand, MasterCard commercials remind us that there are some things ("Priceless" moments) that monëy can't buy."Oh, that's a sweet sentiment," you might say, "but can it reallysubstitute for the latest video game or hot toy?"
