Literally. My old college. The reason for my return was a lecture by a boardmember who sits on the board of my major client. His lecture was about career choices mixed with some theory on capital markets and what it means to sit on a board. He openly explained that his motivation to work hard had been money. A lot of money. But once he had the money he realised the money was a mean to freedom, to own his time. And so he stopped working in the traditional sense.
"The more money you have the less it means. The less time you have, the more precious it becomes."
So after a successful career he stepped off the ladder, started to coach girls in basketball and signed up for various courses, like philosophy, at the University.
The message to the teenagers who were at their second or third year was clear. Find out what drives you; your inner motivation. And whatever you do, study hard!
