Just a quote
Yesterday I was reading Times of India and that’s when in Times Ascent on the second last page I read this article -’The juggling act’ which starts with the quote by Brian G Dyson, former president and CEO of Coca-Cola -
“ Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling five balls in the air namely-work, family, health, friends and spirit. 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 balance in your life.”
Hates off to the man who explained the exact plight an every working man/woman nowadays is on. Also it did sound as if its exactly what I keep repeating to myself. I feel these five are the basic building blocks that make you happy and be loved by others and by yourself as well. The way the company I am going to join after a month in Gurgaon has been communicating with me and my classmates who got placed in same company, I hope it’s equipped with a good HR department. I just hope after a month too I maintain a great balance among all the supporting pillars. Amen !!
Right now listening ‘aaoge jab tum sajna ‘ from Jab we met, next is ‘na hai ye paana, na khona hee hai’ . Just wondering how beautiful a song can be!! And whenever these ‘nagara nagara’ and ‘mauja he mauja’ come, I just cant help and next second find myself on the floor with my hairs down!
