bumped into this from another website:
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> My husband is [non-Jamaican]...[living outside of Jamaica]. He pays the bills, etc. All my life I've tried to do the right things, things that were morally and ethically correct and beneficial to both fellow employees, the community, etc. This has led to me being fired from many jobs and losing major business contracts because I wouldn't compromise on certain issues (when illegal actions were being taken, etc).
Now I look back at my life and there is no financial success, lots of good deeds but I have no finances to give my husband or family or friends. And many of the groups and people that I stood up for, have long forgotten me, some know what I'm experiencing, but do not offer any advice or support!
I feel like although my heart was in the right place, I've wasted much of my potential and skills trying to help people instead of helping my family and myself more. Have I wasted my life away or will, one day, good come my way. Should I now focus on just the money and forget morality/ethics?</div></div>
What's your take on it?
