Built for business

You get many kinds of people in this world, but have you ever noticed how some people are just ‘built’ for business? Well, obviously they are not physically built or designed for business, but their entire being is as if their purpose in life is to strictly engage in business 24/7 -to live, breathe, eat, sleep business.
I know a few people like this. It’s as though they approach everything in life as they would a business deal. Their lifestyles are designed and built for business. They are usually not married, but maybe were before. If they are single, they may have a partner and they don’t usually have kids. If they do have kids it’s from a previous marriage. These people are usually quite well-off and are big achievers. They put hard and long hours into their work no matter what profession they may hold.
This, to me, is quite admirable, especially since this is what the world is moving towards. However, at the same time it’s also not that admirable. It’s as though their lives are unbalanced. They are overworked, have achieved many things for themselves, but perhaps there may be a possible void somewhere in their lives? This may not be entirely true, but I have observed this before. It’s quite interesting.
