Lines on Work & Family balance..

Imagine life is a game in which you are juggling five balls. The balls are called work, family, health, friends and integrity. And you're keeping all of them in the air. But one day you finally come to understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.

The other four balls -- family, health, friends, integrity -- are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered. And once you truly understand the lesson of the five balls, you will have the beginnings of balance in your life.

--- From James Patterson’s "Suzanne’s Diary For Nichola"

Nowadays i feel life to be more mechanical.. No one has time to spend with Family and Friends. The relation is not intense with the family as it was used to be before. Everyone is busy with thier own things.. let it be the career, or the wishes, or the goals..

Necessity of a man and a women differs.. Lets take an example... If a man suffers from head ache he prefers to take a pill and solve the issue off.. But if a women suffers head ache she expects her husband to caress her and apply pain balm.

Though there are two ways of resolving an issue, Its hard to predict which is the correct resolution. The wishes of a man and women are different. Girls are very emotional and are to be handled carefully.. Let it be a plus or minus of them.

Especially the working women's expectation on her man is quite different. She do goes to work as he does. She cares the children at home. She takes care of the home. She gets involved with the family needs. With all these a meger lovely time with the soul partner is very necessary. Instead which life is nothing for her. Its upto a husband and wife to understand thier roles and allocate time so that both the family and work are taken care of.

As said in the quote, we can find an alternative job, We can get a better career, We can get a better environment but the family and youth will never be turned back. If peoples get used to be without you then gaining importance for yourself will become very tough at later point of time.
