Reaching success, I always focused on clients and projects, and ignored the money. Then all this money started pouring in. And I got distracted by it. And suddenly I was on the phone to my stockbroker and my real estate agent, when I should have been talking to my clients. And reaching success, I always did what I loved. But then I got into stuff that I didn't love, like management. I am the world's worst manager, but I figured I should be doing it, because I was, after all, the president of the company. Well, soon a black cloud formed over my head and here I was, outwardly very successful, but inwardly very depressed. But I'm a guy; I knew how to fix it. I bought a fast car. It didn't help. I was faster but just as depressed. So I went to my doctor. I said, "Doc, I can buy anything I want. But I'm not happy. I'm depressed. It's true what they say, and I didn't believe it until it happened to me. But money can't buy happiness." He said, "No. But it can buy Prozac." And he put me on anti-depressants. And yeah, the black cloud faded a little bit, but so did all the work, because I was just floating along. I couldn't care less if clients ever called. And clients didn't call. Because they could see I was no longer serving them, I was only serving myself. So they took their money and their projects to others who would serve them better.
为了成功，我用心地关注我的客户和计划，而不是金钱。但一旦公司开始赚钱，我就开始分心了，我发现自己总是在与股票经纪人、地产经纪人讲电话，在我应该花时间关心客户的时候。 为了成功，我总是做我最喜欢的事，但不喜欢的事慢慢接踵而来，像管理。我是世界上最糟糕的管理者，但当时我觉得这就是我该做的，因为我毕竟是公司的老板。 很快地，乌云罩顶。我外表看上去成功，但内心非常消沉。但身为一个男人，我知道该怎么解决。我买了台跑车，但那没有解决问题。我拥有了速度但仍然消沉。 于是我去看医生，我说:“医生，这世界上没有什么是我要而买不到的，但我很不快乐。人们说的都是真的，我以前不相信，直到亲身经历。金钱是买不到快乐的。”他回答:“是的，但它可以买到百忧解。”于是他让我吃抗忧郁药，乌云似乎有点消散了，但工作也是，因为我如坠云中。我根本不在乎客户有没有与我联系。 事实上也没有。因为他们知道我已经不再在乎他们，我只在乎我自己。于是他们带着钱和计划到真正能服务他们的人那里去。
