You see your career as the big goal. You are well on your way and the art is to get there quickly. You will succeed, because you can become who you are. By the way, you also have the right to a nice job with security. Colleagues who stand in your way – complaining about them always lightens the load – you can change. You will never, like them, become overstressed. Your coach, who is usually right, will also protect you from that. And if things still go wrong, there is always the possibility of early retirement. It will make you happy.
