workaholic
How wonderful to have a good job you feel happy to perform. You are so enthusiastic to work hard and contribute to your company success. Until someday you might think "damn i'm only being a slave". You have no friends left. Your family barely sees you. You had have no time to look at the sunset for years!
 
I try to avoid such situation. I work hard during office hours but i try to manage my relations too. I'm not successful tho to have plenty of time to friends and family or for my own. Compared to few years ago, i used to work for 15 hours and skip meals, now i avoid that. I make sure i have a lunch break now. I make sure to go back home before my kids sleep. I make sure to arrange with friends where to watch the games this week. I make sure in the week-end i visit family and do something together.
 
I do not want to wake up one morning lonely because i was so good at work. I have already lost connections with old friends because my time was all for the work, imagine with the advanced tech we currently enjoy. I know how hard sometimes to make a personal call during work hours!
 
So balance is my goal and i hope i can manage. Thanks for letting my share this with you.
 
Best Wishes
