Lose Sense Quote by Brian Tracy
““Well, come to think of it, if we lose a job, we lose our sense of identity. That’s one of the reasons many people get very disillusioned when they retire. They seem to lose their sense of purpose. Suddenly, there is nothing to do, no place to be, no one to need you or value you,” he explained.””
