We have 4 lives-Work life, Social life, Family life & Personal life. However, willy nilly, ‘Work life’ takes away the largest share of our life while other three take a back seat.
Strangely, it all changed with the elephant in the room- Corona. In no time, work became a second priority, first being, me & my family. Officials were generously allowed to work from home and to proceed on leave, without guilt.
This made me realise -why do we need abnormal conditions to be normal. Is it not normal to spend time with family than long hours at workplace?
In fact the buzz says that during quarantine, people are spending ‘happy hours’ at home. Eating together has become the order of the day, watching TV is a new time pass and indoor games is the new sport.
A soft reminder to the 30 second speech by Bryan Dyson, former CEO of Coca Cola, there are 5 balls in our lives - family, friend, health, spirit and work. Work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls are made of glass. If you drop any one of these they will be damaged irrevocably.
Lets promise when normalcy returns and happy days are here again, we do not forget to do normal things in normal times - work efficiently, leave on time and spend good time with family & self.
