Work-Life balance

My cousin sent me this quote today. I like it a lot and thought of sharing this with you. It comes from a veteran who lived / worked most of his life for Coca-Cola. He worked for Coca-Cola for 35 years and worked his way through to the top before retiring as the Vice-Chairman.

"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them - work, family, health, friends and spirit - and you're keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls - family, health, friends and spirit - are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life."

  1. Question:

    For Indian circumstances, do you think work is also a rubber ball?
