This is such a great read. I recently entered into the biggest “transaction” of my life. I got married. And same with your views. I want to win but not alone and not at the expense of others. I found my partner for life which I could build around with and celebrate success together.
One truth is it gets lonelier at the top. I’ve experienced promotions, big pays and huge bonuses. But it seems meaningless when there’s no one to celebrate it with. Luckily for me its not really the case as i have the right woman beside me all the time.
Marriage is the biggest transaction as you've rightly pointed out and when it's done with the right person, you'd find yourselves collectively winning and achieving a lot of things in life.
Winning alone can feel lonely especially when you're at the pinnacle of your biggest accomplishments in life.
I'm happy you have the right woman by your side, there's nothing as good or as refreshing as it.
