“Respectable people do not write music or make love as a career.”      Alexander Borodin

But then they don’t work in banks, either. What today is a respectable career?

Epicureans, whatever career they choose, should conduct themselves with honesty, integrity, understanding, empathy and good humour, always remembering our mutual inter-dependence. Just make a comfortable living as you can, but don’t hanker for wealth and power. It isn’t worth it for your peace of mind.
