There's a time for improving yourself and continually growing, but there's also a time for farting around with friends and DVD's. Part of it is that it's important to maintain social relationships, but networking on the job is important as well.

Now I've become one of the people who can help grow other people's careers and it's a wonderful feeling to be able to do that. Balance in all things.
