In a Havard university commencement address several years ago,Brain Dyson, CEO of Coca Cola enterprises, spoke of the relation of work to one's other commitments:Life Is A Juggling GameImagine 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 the 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 you life.
How?
* Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.
* Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.
* Don't take for granted the things close to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life is meaningless.
