I think it was very important that you mentioned the sacrifies you made such as dating. Success comes at a price. At my graduation, we had a tremendous speaker. The biggest take away from her speech was (I think she said she got it from a book), life is about juggling balls. Your career ball is like a rubber ball and if you drop it, it will bounce back. The other balls are made out of glass, and it shatters when you drop it. You may be able to rebuild the ball, but it'll never be the same. That really made me re-think about my focuses. Since I am a recent graduate, I thought being successful was everything, but I was sitting there hearing someone who was successful and very influential in the industry telling me that it's not all that. Balance your life, and make time for the people in your life. When you think back one day, you won't remember that week where you worked that extra 10 hours, you'll remember the time you had with the people you made time for.
