3 Things (not wishes)

If you were given a limitation on things, limited to 3 things, to take on life, what would it be ?

Spouse, family, home ?
Love, friendship, pet ?
Money, assets, investments ?
Wisdom, goodness, virtues ?

James Bretton in Wall Street, Money Never Sleeps give me an idea, which I think I would go for these 3 things if ever the limitation is applied.

Loyalty.
Balls.
Skill.

Now, many people would despise me if they know I choose loyalty. Understandable and no hard feelings taken. I am not the perfect icon for loyalty, history surely speaks for itself.

But I do believe in loyalty (and God knows I tried, still trying, and will always try to give my best shot). And I do have faith that loyalty will take you places. Though in these times of world, many would take loyalty as an overrated and so old school. The way I see it, this world now is the battle of interests and personal gains.

But as I think it through mixed with personal experiences, I came across to this one question. Is it a what or a whom we must put our loyalty on ?

I met this man, few weeks ago, who said that it is on a what we must put our loyalty on, not on a whom. It was interesting. Because immediately my mind denied since I am a whom person, at least by personal experiences.

I need some times to figure this out. And turned out, I mistook attachment as loyalty. Thanks to that man.

It is on a what we need to put our loyalty. Once you find that what, you would have purpose and guide through whomever you meet in this world. Voila, you find your course. It's loyalty.

And after the course laid in, we would need balls to take us out there. No balls, no gain ;) seriously. Balls is like the ignition in a machine. It starts everything. Bring the action on its course.

Last but not least, skills. Balls without skills would be like driving with no brake. Waste of resources, high risk and less effective. Skills would be the control to take us precisely to our goals.

So, not such a bad idea, ya ?
3 things to take on life, no matter in what life you are in now. What's your choices ?
