Met up with Q today. We chat about life, and living…the work/life balance also came into the topic. I still hope for the work/life balance even though the more people I talk to, the more the bubble reveals itself. It seems more like a give and take problem, the question is how much life you would give up to work. You can work 16 hours a day, but you won’t have a life. Would you be happy like this? If the job is rewarding in term of wealth, you would be exciting for a little while, if the job gives you satisfactions, you would be happy a little while longer. But a human is a human, you need love to sustain a life, you can’t fall in love with your work, unless you are the workaholic type. When you have no place to relief the stress, the un-happiness inside you will explode one day. On the other hand, when you choose life over work, you have a happy family, but you can’t advance aggressively in your career. Why? Because when you are spending time playing with your children, your opponent is burning the midnight oil working. And you are not happy because you can’t advance in your career like others, and that means your income are not as good as those workaholic.
At the end of the day, it’s still a happiness question, are you happy?
