Pros & Cons

Would you rather be a boss that works at least 12 hours a day, a business owner who works at least 18 hours a day or an employee who works at least 8 hours a day? Perhaps that deeper question is the kind of lifestyle that you want to lead or what you want to achieve. Each position has certain income and salary range, and different degrees of responsibility also. And definitely, our income level will affect the things that we can do :) People are unique and has different comfortability level and talents. I believe that the notion that a businessman is much more capable than an employee does not follow. This employee may have been capable being on a higher stature but he chose to live a simpler life. On the other end, the businessman may have chosen the life not really simply for wealth but the desire to share and be able to do more for others. It's simply because the individual chose it based on his personal goals and not simple a measure of capability. I somehow made a draft of pros & cons having somehow had an experience these three different levels. Well, although i will classify them as such, some cons may actually be a pro for some. It really depends on how we operate as people. Some people are better as followers than leaders and vice versa. Just no one position is more respectable that the other. Both are equally important and needed in this universe.
