And it al...Oh yes, TD, it is a tough balancing act. And it all depends on the person as to what things hold dear to him or her on his list of priorities. <br /><br />I was in that same situation before working at my reports like any responsible employee would. But when birthdays or school programs or illness of the children came.. it was apparent what my priorities were. And my bosses respected that. I had to make a firm stand on that line because I knew that life is short and that people won't be in your life forever, none exempted. So I told myself long before marriage that family would be first and foremost on my list.<br /><br />So it all depends on a person's priorities. Different folks, different strokes. Do what you're comfortable with. An aunt once said to me "There are many ways to cook stew." That applies to life too.<br /><br />It is so nice having you here exchanging thoughts like this. I treasure and value your insights. And too appreciate your unique talent with the camera.<br /><br />More power to you.

Also there is the other you, who is expected to be responsible and committed to work .its a really tough balancing act. I can relate to it, cos i love my work but also love my friends and family. And sometimes when i have to choose between the two it gets annoying. Ofcourse family n friends come first, but sometimes i end up not attending birthdays as i hv some prior work commitments. what then to do in that case?:D<br />take care<br />ciaoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02323290232915530688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871706160363829905.post-5061826543230727252010-06-03T13:56:10.969+08:002010-06-03T13:56:10.969+08:00Hi Sarah,
