Do people kill relationships for Career Rat Run.....

Sorry to have different opinion- ESP- linking to India, that its nt much in India and depending on from which country you are-

ASIANS are known to be hardworker and sitting late in offices, stay in small houses/sharing basis/ leaving families also some time-- We can compromise on everything to earn money and to stay in RAT RACES.( If WE ARE COMPARING GLOBALLY) this is what is comma feedback across all foreign counties.

Foreigners, US, UK, AUSTRIA, EUROPE , dont work after 5, dont work on weekends, dont take calls after 7 pm in evening, They do go  for holidays.

they still pursue their hobbies, What KIND OF LIFE WE PEOPLE DO LIVE?

The word RAT was not coined without reason.

It was meant to differentiate the activity from humans.

Career at best is an aspect or segment of life so shedding human values is not aggression or fierce but animal trait.

Allow me to correct, actually even animals follow rules in combat.

Hi all, today i think it is money that is winning all other parameters between partners which once again is proportionate to career.this downfall started i.e.understanding ,caring,loving each other through out the life with globalisation/liberalisation in our country.even though it is natural to have ambitions in life it should be at the cost of breaking the partnership.yes,today it is career/money over riding on relationship.but tomorrow after break up ........?

"In a rat race, even if you win, you're still a rat."

This profound concept has been thrown to the winds and we are blindly chasing success without understanding that success has several components. The institution of marriage is supposed to be a buffer against emotional and other types of stresses and trauma. Unfortunately, that institution is itself the cause for many of the stresses.

The advent of double-income families has inevitably meant that spouses do not have time for each other. One spouse working according to Japanese timings and the other to US timings compounds the complexity. As a result, children are left to the care of maids or in a few cases with grandparents. Parental love and caring which is critical in the early years is thus deprived for children.

There is absolutely nothing wrong in focusing on careers. The key is to find a balance between career goals and personal goals. Career goals place too high an emphasis on status and prestige needs. Ideally, personal goals should lead us to self-actualization. This rarely happens, if at all. Amidst all this, the basic need for physiological satisfaction has led to live-in relationships and contractual arrangements.

Many years ago, Dale Carnegie coined this beautiful prayer: grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

If only we could implement this in our daily lives, whether at home or at work, we would yet find happiness. On the other hand, if we continue to pursue career goals at the expense of others, we would have pushed the "self destruct" button.

Yes they do!

Mostly it is because their priorities are not correct. 

If you want career as the driving force in your life, then marry the correct type of person.

Mostly i prefer that career supports life. and life - personal life - takes priority.

I cannot relate to the idea of career governing all decisions.

Well Mr. Shashikant Rajak, what to do.... This has been necessitated by the rapid industrialization which throws importance for the carrier development and the changing trend in life style etc. These can be noticed in major metro cities.People become more mechanical than enjoying their life with their families. They have their own problems in elevating their life style, job promotions, and educating their children in reputed institutions etc. They have to concentrate more on their own families than their relations. Considering the present situation they will not be in a position to spend with their relations. At the same time their relations are also like that and they have to. But significantly it happens for the working class.

On the contrary it is not so in the case of business people who are in a position to mingle with their family members, friends, relatives etc. Time factor is not controlling them and finding time to spend, being the business owners.    

Yes,that is too pitty,that people give stress on their instead of their relationships.Now-a-days people always run only for their careers and money.They have no time for their own family even if their children for which they income and who will be their future.They forgot their relationships with their own family,parents,friends.   They Forgot that they have a personal life and they have to live it.But that type of persons only live  their professional life.It's not a good sign for his family,society and himself also.

This means people kill relaationships for their carees.

                        It is too sad that most of the people don't  have time to spent with their family. They give importance to their career and money than their family.They don't find time to share their happiness, sadness, fun etc with their family.Its affecting the children most. Earlier there will be either mother or grand parents were there to take care of them, Now a days all are busy leading to selfish-minded,insecure childhood for them. I don't think it will do any thing good for them.

Yes, now a days it became fashion also to break realtionship showing career as a reason which is not advicable. I hope one day this kind of people will understand the value of relation but by the time they recognise what they lost they will be in no position to retain it back
