When you do finally get home from a full day at the office, your mobile phone rings off the hook, and emails drop into your inbox from people who expect immediate responses. While most people claim to disconnect as soon as they get home, recent research says otherwise. A study conducted by the American Psychological Association found that more than 50 percent of us check work email before and after work hours, throughout the weekend, and even when we're sick.

In the beginning of my career, I wasn’t fond of going the extra mile or giving people what they wanted. In fact, I scoffed at overachievers and volunteers until I became one myself.

There are many definitions of what it means to be rich. Being rich is more of a state of mind than a dollar amount. Truthfully,  the rich can be poor  and the  poor can be rich . For example, being rich could be a family of five who lovingly share their small piece of bread in a third-world country.
