What Drives You To Do What You Do?

Dr Mani Sivasubramanian — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 22:00:21 +0000

Every morning, we wake up and get ready to do some things. Often those things revolve around our job, our business or our hobbies.

I am unemployable. I always have been. I always will be.

I was speaking to my home loan broker this week. I’m purchasing an investment property and he helps organize the loans to make it all happen.
