I recall someone mentioned "like music".... I read the Buddha's teachings Martin - basically says the same thing but he had the wisdom to apply it to everything in our material world. The "product" you create - Dust Science Recordings, really has no more value than what Adidas creates. You can't take either of them with you when you die. All this record collecting, trainer worship/collecting, making of more products - is a futile attempt at immortality. Eventually it will all be lost. So whatever you level at Adidas you can also apply to your own company.
