amazing.......thanks for sharing...

Good insight. Workaholism is a compulsiveness to work/an obsessive need to work. When you recognize that you are consistently choosing work over everything else in your life, beware. I have been told time and time again that I am a workaholic but I don't see it that way.It is true that I end up working many extra hours each week, but it doesn’t feel obsessive to me. For me there are things to be done with deadlines so I don't have a choice but get it done whether at the office or home. However, as a workaholic, you get a personal and direct relationship between the work you do and the consequences of your labour. Doesn't matter what your gig is, there's almost always a direct correlation between hard work and success.

Hard work is unquestionably an important factor in success. Yes, you need to work hard and work smart to be successful. Smart working habits that include time well spent in other activities that nourish your body and soul are other important components for a successful life and career.
Remember the old saying" All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"

Workaholism is not a chronic disease. It is rather a life style. It is good as long as it helps individuals achieve their personal goals. After that, it will be the time for enjoying those achievements. In other words, workaholism is a means and not a target.
