I believe in Healthy Self-Interest. If everyone does what is rational, then success will be easier for all. Greed is the complete opposite of self-interest as it results in nothing but failure. Born in Canada in 1969 to English parents. Moved back to England. Lived in Australia since 5 y.o. Worked in Banking, Entertainment, Sales and Web. I always listen to and make music to keep myself on an even keel.
