Thank you, my friend, to take your time for reading what I have to say. I feel exhausted as well as it's so hot here, unusually hot.

It is said that the older we get, the more emphasis we place on interpersonal relationships, less on how successful we have been in our profession. I agree with you. Ultimately, work always affects relationships, whether within or outside family or friendship. Since I can divide my life into two professional halves, one is work in the free media economy, the other in the social sector, I notice the big difference. But I can't even weigh one against the other because there are so many differences. I claim that I wouldn't be such a good social consultant if I hadn't had over twenty years of professional experience in a completely different industry. I think my son doesn't learn so much from me through my words or speeches, but rather through my lifestyle and what things I consume or neglect. Work is a big influence on lifestyle and only begins to lose that influence when we retire or leave professional careers behind. Every phase of life has its own effect and meaning, which is a good thing. It is very difficult to split life experience between private and professional, because the two interact. Your rich experience of years and of what you have learned is certainly valuable and respected by your fellow human beings. In any case from me! In a larger social group everyone takes a certain role, that is useful, because if everyone were like Erika or Agmoore, there would be many bad problems ;-) The mix of Agmoore, Erika, Peter, Paul, Mary and Joe is, isn't it?

You too, have a good Sunday. Hope, it's cooling down soon.
