Great job, great girl – but Microsoft just wasn’t enough for John Wood

,----[ Quote ]
| Within weeks he had quit his job at Microsoft to set up Room to Read, a 
| charity to supply books to children in Third World countries. His decision 
| meant sacrificing more than just his salary. His girlfriend, whom he had once 
| thought he was going to marry, was deeply upset. Her “preference was for the 
| glamour of the expatriate life in a big city”, he says. According to Wood, 
| she threw a painting at him. It showed a bench in the shade of a tree. She 
| had told him it represented the place where they would sit together in old 
| age
