Everyone wants achieve some success, to do something important for humanity (if lucky enough), and still have a normal family, bring up children and do what one likes at least sometimes. But the children should be provided with all the necessary things and there are a number of divorces because of the financial instability. Is it a dead end? Hardly so.
The main rule is not to get panic-stricken. If you sacrifice your relations with a beloved person or the desire to create something for moving up the career ladder, you risk failing to achieve any harmony in your life. Of course, there are some guys working from sunrise to sunset and feeling perfectly. But this is rather an exception. Usually, a person sooner or later still wants to find the dearest one beside him/her. And being a working fanatic, you may fail to find one.
On the other hand, family is great but you’ll certainly have to be a support and a "bread-winner". So, what to do? The answer is clear and transparent: to live and to work. And try to make these processes not incompatible but mutually complementary ones. Work is supposed to be an important and pleasant part of life but not substitute for a great number of other things, united by the notion of life.
The key problem here is the wrong time organization. There were several times I tried working during the day not getting distracted from what I was doing, the time I spent on my immediate duties and responsibilities was reduced twofold.
Apart from this, it is also important to set your priorities, strategic and tactic goals. If your sweating the guts out is sure to bring decent dividends, then it’s natural you’ll miss a couple of traditional beer parties or a date with a girlfriend. The point is, these periods shouldn’t be regularly repeated and too long. You should be able to stop in time. It’s hardly possible to work all the money of the world (no matter how much you want to do it). Just imagine yourself, say in10 years, with a heap of money in a great house or driving something like Ferrari but… alone. Right, it’s much better to be with this heap of money, a house and Ferrari but with someone you love next to you.
To sum it up, there are no two identical situations. Listen to yourself and check this information. If you want lot make a lot of money – make. Want to become famous – do everything whatever it can be. Want just to work with pleasure and after it spend time with your friends and family – what’s the problem?
One day you’ll come back home early, kiss your beautiful wife, play with your little daughter and go to play golf with your friends. And on your way there you’ll just look through the article devoted totally to you and your success in the Forbes.
Utopia? Hardly so.
