Don't Waste Your Life Or Time Pursuing Someone Else's Dream

When you work for someone else, you are helping them accomplish their dreams. Think about it...

When "They" started the business, they had a vision of what they wanted to do, how to do it, etc. Then they figured they would hire people to do the work so THEY can realize THEIR dream. So basically you are working to realize someone else's dream. When you stress, sacrifice, eat shit...you are doing all that to help someone else achieve their goal of ultimately getting rich. NEVER FORGET THIS so you can keep things in perspective.

All this talk of career, and dedication to your job is a load of bullshit fed to you so you comply as required by your overlords...think about it.

Wasted Years -Iron Maiden

From the coast of gold, across the seven seas,
I'm travelling on, far and wide,
But now it seems, I'm just a stranger to myself,
And all the things I sometimes do, it isn't me but someone else.

I close my eyes, and think of home,
Another city goes by, in the night,
Ain't it funny how it is, you never miss it til it's gone away,
And my heart is lying there and will be til my dying day.

Chorus:
So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years,
Face up...make your stand,
And realise you're living in the golden years.

Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind,
Can't ease this pain, so easily,
When you can't find the words to say, it's hard to make it through another day,
And it makes me wanna cry, and throw my hands up to the sky.

Chorus:
So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years,
Face up...make your stand,
And realise you're living in the golden years.

The corporate world is full of ruthless, greedy taskmasters. They are your masters. You are nothing but a tool to them and they will throw you out with the trash as soon as you are no longer useful to them. There's no such thing as a career anymore except the one you make for yourself. Don't let anyone ruin your life and run you into the ground with promises. They will rip you off.

Go make your own dream and laugh all the way to the bank.

Yeah. Unfortunately what you say is true. Then again, most of the corporate world is so corrupt and dishonest that eventually they'll find out that they're lying to each other.

You couldn't be more right.

Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street"
