This is a 30 second speech by Bryan Dyson - Former CEO of Coca Cola.

 

Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some 5 balls in the air. They are WORK, FAMILY, HEALTH, FRIENDS and SPIRIT and you are keeping all of these in air.

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 irrovocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it.

Work efficiently during office hours and leave on time. Give the required time to your family, friends and have proper rest.

"Value has a value only its its value is valued"

Thanks for the referral Mr.Manoj Kumar.
Really life is a game that is well played by one who is capable of doing it in a right way.This has been reiterated by Lord Krishna in Bhagavat Gita. 
Work while you work and play while you play and one must find time to spend with his family members also. Then only life will be happy. Hence a wise one is capable of mixing the above balls in life with appropriate proportion.

Thanks for referring a thought provoking message that surely can not be ignored. 

But, there could be another way to look at it if you consider circumstances of life that are not really in our control. Then analogously, Human being, by himself, becomes an object thrown and caught randomly by the players namely work, family, friends, health and soul. 

I would prefer that human being to be like a soft rubber ball which would not only incapable of hurting any of the players but also would have tenacity to survive very long.

Thanks,Mr Manoj Kumarfor referral.These five balls are not in absolute terms.The spirit is what we crave for achievement,The achievement needs dynamism,you need a family support but for hopping only,Friends are around to change the equation,Health you maintain to be available.The conclusion is whether ball is of rubber or glass,The rubber one encourages you to move and the other to be cautious.
