In a university commencement address several years ago, Brian Dyson, CEO of Coca Cola Enterprises, spoke of the relation of work to one’s other life commitments:
“Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you’re keeping them all in the air. You 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 balls, they will be irrevocably damaged or even shattered. You must understand this relationship and strive for balance in your life.
its very nice, i like it.
