Relentless ambition surrounded me when I lived in New York. Many were running at full speed, chasing lucrative positions, higher salaries, and greater influence, all grasping for success in the city that never sleeps. Their only reprieve was the over-indulgent pleasures of the city amidst a cycle of work and exhaustion that leaves its participants empty. I saw that jobs became the sole reason to live. Work became the definition of man.
