C2: You win some, you lose some

We had no idea where it would lead us, but wherever it was, we knew it had to be better than feeling bored and unfulfilled. We were ready for an adventure.

Tony工作于Oracle，高薪轻松没啥事，达到了一直以来的职场追求：getting a job that paid as much money as possible。虽高薪工作却十分无聊，遂和好友一起辞去工作去自己创业经营自己的公司，赚的收入没有在Oracle多但找到其中意义：But we wanted to run our own business and be in control of our own destiny.

和好友一起建立公司LinkExchange，经历创业之初的艰难，面临过高价收购的诱惑，但这场冒险中Tony都未曾退缩。也渐渐不再是因为无趣、无成就感就随意放弃，而是于团队一起努力抓住所处的时代的机遇。

初创业的经历，Tony的不再是仅仅考量赚钱的多少，工作的有趣？生活开心？当列出人生中最快乐的时光清单，我们回忆的更多是工作中的创新，与朋友之间彻夜畅谈，学校里同学间的恶作剧，一次集体聚餐聚会......很少涉及毛爷爷的参与。

有时候，可能在外界影响下我们易默认更多金钱、物质享受等同于成功、快乐，但也因明白真正的享受生活才是幸福的真谛。

I thought about how easily we are all brainwashed by our society and culture to stop thinking and just assume by default that more money equals more success and more happiness, when ultimately happiness is really just about enjoying life.
