Enjoyable Life: 5 BALLS IN THE AIR

5 BALLS IN THE AIR

Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some fives balls in the air.

They are

WORK, FAMILY, HEALTH, FRIENDS, SPIRIT

and you are 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 it, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damage, broken or even shattered.

Work efficiently during office hours and leave on time. Give the required time to your family, friends and have proper rest. They will never be the same.

* I get the above statement from email. A 30 second speech by the former CEO of Coke-Cola, Bryan Dyson. Meaningful and just paste it here to share with everyone.

And that's what lots of bosses don't understand. They love giving their employees stress and work pressure.

Live your life with no excuses, love with no regrets.
Our life today is not a dress rehearsal. We only get to play one round.

You have a nice day, keep a song in your heart, Lee.; August 20, 2010 at 6:51 PM
Wiskies said...: I agree with you Uncle Lee.. They pay u to work more like a bull and they get the PROFIT. other than salary, organization never care for the other things for the workers. that's the truth of working life somehow stress and work pressure sometimes teach us a lot of things.

Have a nice day too, Uncle Lee..; August 21, 2010 at 10:40 AM

Think About It

Today we have bigger house yet smaller family. More convenient but less time. We have more degree but less common sense. More knowledge but less judgement. We have more experts but more problems. More medicine but less good health. We spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, Get too angry too fast, Stay up too late, Read too little, Watch TV too much, & we less considerate. We have multiply our possessions, but have reduced our values. We talk too much, love too little and lie too often. We have learned how to make a living but not a life. We have added years to life but no life to years. We have taller buildings but shorter tempers. Wider roads but narrower viewpoints. We spend more but have less. We buy more yet enjoy it less. We have been all the way to the moon & back but have trouble crossing the road to meet out neighbours. We are conquered our outer space but not our inner space. We split the atom but not our prejudice. We write more, learn less. Plan more but accomplish less. We have learned to rush but not to wait. We have higher incomes but lower morals. We build more computers to hold more info, produce more copies but have less personal communication. We are long on quantity but less in quality. These are the time of fast foods and slow digestion. Tall men & short character. More leisure but less fun, more kinds of food but less nutrition. 2 incomes but more divorce. Nicer houses but broken homes. Search more knowledge, read more, sit & admire the view without paying attention to your needs. Spend more time with your family & friends, eat your favorite food & visit the places you love. Do not keep anything for special occasions because everyday you live is a special occasion. Life is moments of enjoyment & not just about surviving. Have a simple life and leave for the fullest. Enjoy Life, because this is not rehearsal..
