My colleague quit his job, saying he was going to start his own business.

Before he left, he treated us to a meal—full of confidence and high spirits:
“Brothers, once I’m rich, none of you will have to go to work anymore.”
Three months later, I checked his social media feed and saw he was selling insurance.
A month after that, he sent me a private message:
“Big bro, consider the insurance, will you? Just do me a favor—let it count toward my sales.”
And in my heart, I thought: this is real success—
So successful that everyone has to help him.
