One of my neighbors,whom I'll call Steve,told me years ago that he had always wanted to own and operate his own business.He had many opportunities to work for and learn from someone else in his profession-and at very attractive compensation,too— but he was never willing to part with hi dream of being his own boss.That meant long hours at work learning from relatively simple mistakes to build up his own firm.His friends and family were understanding,though;after all,Steve wasn't doing it just because it was important to him.He was doing it to provide for his family.
The meagerness of Steve's investments of time in his family ultimately took its toll,however.Just as his company was finally taking off,his marriage fell apart. When he needed the support of siblings and friends as he navigated the pain of divorce, he found himself quite alone. He sought the returns on an investment he hadn't made. No one intentionally deserted him in his hour of need; it was just that he had neglected them for so long that they no longer felt close to him and they worried that any intervention might be considered an intrusion.
Steve moved out of his house into a small apartment across town.He tried to make it nice for his two sons and two daughters when they visited. Though he'd always left such things to his wife when they were married, he worked hard to try to come up with new things to do and ways to make their time together fun. But he was fighting an uphill battle.By the time his children were in middle school, the idea of spending every other weekend with Steve during his “visiting privileges” was not that appealing to them. They had to leave their friends and their home to move in with their dad in his spartan apartment- only to go out to dinner, work in the business with him, or maybe to see a movie.It soon lost its charm.Just as Steve was feeling he needed time with his children,they started opting out of their visits with Dad whenever they could.
我有个邻居，史蒂夫，几年前告诉我，他一直想拥有和经营自己的企业。虽然他有很多机会为别人工作并向别人学习——而且报酬也非常诱人——但他从来不愿意放弃自己当老板的梦想。这意味着需要长时间的工作，从相对简单的错误中学习，才能建立自己的公司。不过，他的朋友和家人都很理解；毕竟，史蒂夫这样做并不仅仅是因为这对他很重要。他这样做是为了养家糊口。
然而，史蒂夫在家庭中投入的时间太少最终造成了损失。正当他的公司终于成功时，他的婚姻却破裂了。当他在经历离婚的痛苦，需要兄弟姐妹和朋友的支持时，他却发现自己很孤独。他寻求从未做过的投资得到的回报。没有人在他需要的时候故意抛弃他；只是他忽略他们太久了，以至于他们和他不再亲近，他们担心任何介入都可能被认为是打扰。
史蒂夫搬出了他的房子，搬进了镇对面的一个小公寓。当他的两个儿子和两个女儿来他家时，他试图对他们好一点。虽然结婚期间，这些事情他总是留给妻子做，现在他很努力，努力想出新的事情来跟他们一起做，想出在一起的时候生活变得有趣的方法。但他就像打一场艰苦的战斗。那时他的孩子在上中学，在史蒂夫的“探视特权”期间，每隔一个周末和他一起度过的想法对他们来说并不那么有吸引力。他们不得不离开他们的朋友和他们的家，和他们的父亲一起住在他简朴的公寓里，只是为了出去吃吃饭，和他一起做生意，或者看看电影。这样的生活很快就失去了魅力。就在史蒂夫觉得他需要时间陪陪孩子的时候，他们开始尽可能不去看他们的爸爸。
