This tale from Egyptian yore may make you think again!
Theodore Davis (1837-1915) was a rich American whose first excavations in the Valley of the Kings (a valley in western Thebes, where nearly all the Egyptian pharaohs from 1524-1070 B.C. were buried) began in 1903.
Davis’s team found many tombs, mostly robbed of their precious contents. However, there were still wall paintings, mummies and less valuable artifacts to study.
In 1912, Davis gave up excavating, sure that there was nothing left to find.
Within about 6 feet of where he stopped work was the entrance to the one tomb in the Valley that had NOT been robbed…

It is so hard to give up when you have the entrepreneurial bug…Even if you give up one you end up starting another…Once you get used to the lifestyle (not so much the money but the flexibility), it is so addictive…I would be lying if said I never wanted to give up…But what is the alternative - take up to a 9 to 5 job…Thats just too scary…
