Once you've "made it", keep the network going. And give back. Give back to the nonprofit that lifted you up. Stay in touch with the people who helped you out. Pay it forward to another person in need. Don't just disappear once you've "got yours." Everything is temporary.

Labour day! I wish you a decent salary, strong unions, and rest.
