Never underestimate the importance of your relationships outside of work. A well maintained home relationship would last longer and be infinitely more fulfilling than any professional relationship. Without a home relationship, your professional relationship will leave you wanting more. Your hard work will put food in your Frigidaire but leave your heart craving contentment. Catering doesn’t serve contentment. Remember to video chat your significant other whenever you can. Remind them that you are thinking of them when you are away. Talk to your kids from wherever you are. Call your parents more than once a year. Benjamin Franklin understands.
