I was thinking recently about what to write about and I was chatting to my boyfriend who was telling me about his day at work. Now he works at a music venue in London and he was telling me that the other day one of the richest men in world came in, he was by himself in terms of company but he did have his body guards around him. When he arrived he sat at the bar where he remained all night talking to the bar staff. A couple of hours in he tipped all the staff £40 and not long after another friend of mine was getting ready to end her shift and leave with a few others who were also about to finish. When the man realised that some of the staff were about to leave him he started throwing offers at them to stay, £50,£100, £1000 it went up and up, he started saying he would buy them a car if they stayed then it went to "point at a house and I'll buy it for you". These were people he had only met a few hours before.
It makes you think, so many people put so much emphasis on how much money they make, and how rich they want to be. But how much happiness do we sacrifice when we focus on how much money we want to make. This man had more money then many of us well ever earn in our lives, yet I would say if you went through your contacts there would be someone who you could rely on, to cheer you up, to come and see you, people who would be there for you weather you had money or not. We may not be able to buy strangers homes at the drop of a hat, but we have people around us who will be there for us for free, They are there for us because they love being with us. I think that's a pretty special thing we take for granted.
