It’s always worth engaging with people when they visit your blog, it makes a lot of sense to build up relationships which can help you exchange ideas and discover new and exciting areas that you may never find unless guided to. I’ve certainly learned a lot over this last year thanks to a few keen bloggers.

Alina, As a former accountant, it is refreshing for me to hear your broader perspective with respect to the concept of return on investment. Many people think of the concept of 'investment' and 'return' purely in financial terms. When it comes to relationships, it is true that some relationships do indeed entail a degree of monetary investment. Nevertheless, the main thing which we invest in relationships, I believe, is ourselves - our time, our love, our concern, our laughter and smiles, and our effort. Also, when it comes to the concept of a 'return,' again, some of the return may be in financial form, particularly with respect to business or employment relationships. That said, the main benefits which we derive from our investment in relationships are non-material in nature, such as the value of company as well as the feeling of being accepted, valued and loved. These benefits are much, much more significant in terms of quality of life than any material benefit which we may or may not derive from relationships.
