During my career in the oil biz I have been in on the inside of a lot of what many people would consider very big deals. I met Kings and Heads of States; made a lot of multi-million dollar decisions...

One day the CEO came into our area, which was the most secure in the Company, while he was waiting for some big wheel or another to show up. He asked us what our biggest problems were in life which we thought was weird since it was if he was admitting we had a life outside of the company.

So we gave him our standard answer. "We are all still trying to figure out what we want to be when we grow up!"

And now that I am retired I am still asking myself this question.
