Do you want to be rich or just look rich?

I'm much more impressed by the ability to walk away calmly. From a company. From a bad relationship. From a country that's decided it gets to run your life. The ability to refuse instead of agreeing just because there's a payment due next week. That ability usually doesn't have a logo. It's hard to show off to a waiter. It might just look like someone in an ordinary T-shirt who's in no hurry to be anywhere. You have every right to want a beautiful life. But at least check who's getting it: you or the audience.
