How To Pursue Career Without Compromising Relationships?

Most of the people are forgetting about their family life once they will sink into their work. If one give the same importance to personnel life as much as they are giving to their professional life then defenitely it should be a balanced life. How many of us will remember and try to keep the commitments given to kids or others like taking them for outing or attend a PTA meeting when we are in work. May be we simply make a phone call and tell them I am busy, which will spoil the family atmosphere. Treat promises in family life as that of a buisiness meeting

I would rather not consider my job as a career. A career is the trajectory of one's job profiles. As one moves from one position to another, the stream of positions constitute the career of the person. Now, you can see that positions come in their due time, so it is not very helpful to focus on having a career. What is important is that one should concentrate on the present job, present hour and the present moment.

The trick is to do your job as mechanically as you can, and never worry about the next moment, next hour, next day and the next job. By controlling one's excitement and expectations while doing one's job, one can go home fresh and have the energy to engage in quality interaction with the family members.

You have to think copiously and set your priorities in life. You must have read the story of MIDAS TOUCH. Gold or money alone do not necessarily bring joy and satisfaction in life. So you need to find an appropriate Trade-Off between your monetary ambitions and desire for quality life.

Work is part of every ones life,there is no two ways about it.I feel that what can be done however is not to loiter around work,get back to your loved ones carrying lots of love in your heart a rose or two for your wife whenever you are late and chocolates for the kids and yourself.

The purpose of making a career, is not only to excel at work and make a mark as a professional, but to have an equally rewarding personal life. Thats how a complete individuality can be developed.

The catch is to balance both sides of life and not compromise on any of them. Work will never cease, and each day in a relationship will never come back.

Hence it is upto the individual to balance it in such a manner so that neither suffers.

One should have his/her own personal goals to achieve both for personal and professional life. Take out time to introspect and see where you stand in terms of achieving the goals in both the lives. You need to have a correct balance to maintain both and don’t take neither of them granted and mark a clear demarcation based on one’s own priority.

This is practised in western countries ,particularly USA,wherein after a guelling week the individuals go to hill stations and such places for total reaxation for 2 days and refresh themselves for the week ahead

This is a very important topic that should be taken seriously by policy makers and those in  charge of the Labour and Productivity sectors of any nation. We must all realise that without life there is no existence and without family there is no regeneration of the human beings that will continue to form the workforce that keep our economies booming. Work time and scheduling should be done with cognizance of personal time and a reduction in working hours without a cut in pay should be given to working mothers. Nowadays, there is so much demand on workers that has no regard for their personal/family quality time.
