Career People

Do not keep company with people who speak of careers. Not only are such people uninteresting in themselves; they also have no interest in anything interesting...Keep company with people who are interested in the world outside themselves. The one who never asks you what you are working on; who never inquires as to the success of your latest project; who never uses the word career as a noun -- he is your friend.
