Before I seek to change or motivate others I must first learn to change and motivate myself. I must first become the change I wish to see in others. ~ personal leadership motto ~
I can't agree more with Bryan Dyson (Former CEO of Coca Cola) when he said:
"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. They are Work, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit and you're keeping all of there 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 it."
Work efficiently during office hours and leave on time. Give the required time to your family, friends and have a proper rest.
