Today’s employers seem to want more of our time than ever. In the India & US, the average worker puts in 55 hours a week; in Europe and other places where short working weeks have long been the norm, workers are struggling to hold on to their reasonable schedules as employers look to the US model in an effort to increase their bottom lines. Email, text messaging, cell phones, and Blackberries keep us tethered to the office even when we’re technically “off-duty”.
How can you keep up with your always-on career and still find time to do what you need to do at home, spend time with your family, enjoy some kind of social life, and just plain relax? At risk are your personal relationships, your development as a person, your sanity, and even your life. Stress kills. You need downtime to help your mind and body cope with the demands of your job
Lets discuss more on this......

Yes it does. But we have to maintain a balance but in some situation arises at the work place by which you are disturbed so much that you can't balance and you spoil your personal life may be for one day, one week or it may be whole your life.

You can sell a ton of brass as gold if you have the right look. In 21 st century no-one can ignore the importance of professionalism in the work place. Because your professional image speaks more loud than your competitiveness in your work place. But do you carry /project a perfect professional image? Professionalism in the work place is based on many factors like how you dress, how you project yourself, how you interact your attitude with others in the workplace. Here are three characteristics to watch for: Dress to success : I’ve seen issues regarding professional attire. Most violators fall into three categories. They feel that: Dressing badly, and thinking that no one will notice, is a sure sign that people will notice. Appearance is superficial and unimportant They don't have enough time to dress nicely. If so then you may simply be regarded as a work horse and never be given the attention of a thorough breed. But if you want to get noticed in the competitive market then you...

Office Etiquette or Office Manners is about conducting yourself respectfully and courteously in the office or workplace I have noticed that as we go from college to the real corporate world it is hard to get used to a different environment. This is for freshers because other would be knowing the thumb rules already. Always act with honesty and dignity Chewing gum and popping bubble gum in the presence of co-workers is neither cool nor dignified Never do it whilst attending customers Wear appropriate office attire, for example correct footwear, not thongs (flip flops) - they are strictly casual or beachwear No exposed midriff to display tattoos and body piercing. Be neat, clean and as conservative as the business requires you to be We are put off by smelly people. So, be sure to shower regularly and use a suitable deodorant Do not cough or sneeze in anyone's direction. Use a tissue, if possible, to contain the germs and then say "Excuse me" The ...

I got this beautiful posts on http://www.searchquotes.com/ To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong. The fear of being wrong, different, or socially unaccepted or unpopular is one of the biggest inhibitors to one's creative juices. When a person can do things without worrying what people will think of him, then a person can use their creativity with no limits, and take their work to places they probably would never of imagined going. One of the biggest rules to being creative is to first disregard everyone's opinion. The creativity you have is what makes your work your own, and changing it to fit into someone else's mold would defeat the purpose of it all. Remember when being creative that your work doesn't have to be a pop icon or anything but it has to at some point change society in some way(s). Everyone has their own creative flow and energy, it is all about sticking to your gut feelings, despite the consequences or feelings of hesitance you might...

here are the four shers (poems) from Zindai Na Milegi Dobara ! 1 - Ik baat honton tak hai jo aayi nahin Bas ankhon say hai jhaankti Tumse kabhi, mujhse kabhi Kuch lafz hain woh maangti Jinko pehanke honton tak aa jaaye woh …Aawaaz ki baahon mein baahein daalke ithlaye woh Lekin jo yeh ik baat hai Ahsas hi ahsas hai Khushboo si hai jaise hawa mein tairti Khushboo jo be-aawaaz hai Jiska pata tumko bhi hai Jiski khabar mujhko bhi hai Duniya se bhi chupta nahin Yeh jaane kaisa raaz hai There is a matter that has almost come to my lips This is evident in my eyes Sometimes from you, sometimes from me They ask for words To take their shape and come to my lips And to be embraced by my voice But this matter Is a feeling…only a feeling Floating in air like fragrance Fragrance becomes its voice That you know of That i know of It’s not hidden from the world Don’t know what kind of secret is this 2 - Jab jab dard ka baadal chaya Jab ghum ka saya lehraya Jab aansoo palkon tak aya Jab yeh...
