Arun:
There is nothing wrong with that, just a choice. Two people come to mind:
Bill Gates had a call to spread Windows and ended up a billionaire. Mother
Teresa made a career of caring for the destitute & dying. She ended up being
dead and in poverty (albeit voluntary with millions in the bank). :-)
BTW my compliments on your service to the community.
