Start Up India is clearly the motivation and positivity we need as a nation, and it is amazing how it has resonated with the young of all ages. Not a great rallying cry, but are we prepared? Where your balance is now vs few years ago vs few years later and what brings it are all only for you to think about and adjust. There is no fun in realizing too late that we lived a half-life. While we may interpret it as 'did not take enough fun vacations or buy more things', it could have been achieve our potential, which includes our career (or other talent which we may have missed by betting on work). The rhythm may be uneven or unpredictable but while one must seek it actively there is no need to force it.Īs for the death-bed, a common regret is also 'I did not live my life fully'. There are days, weeks, months where it is way more work and other times it is not so. An artist when one with the 'flow' does not stop to punch out.īalance does not mean that everyday there is 8 hr work, 4 hr hobby and so on. A farmer does not, in sowing or harvest time say 'can't wake up early'. Extra time can go a long way in building enduring value. Why say no?īalance group: focus and committed work gets things done and in fact reduces work in the long-run. Passion group: If a break helps kindle the fire if a hobby fires up new neurons in the brain if rest energies to do more. Afterall isn't the common deathbed regret 'i wish i had spent less time at work'? They cannot understand how work can be the end-all of life. The 'life beyond work' folks have a portfolio approach with different ingredients filling their day with work being a part (major, still a part). The 'balance' these folks may seek is financial vs social (work they will, is it for just money or a higher purpose too?) It sometimes goes to stereotyping and such unfortunate zones. Some folks argue that working hard is essential and nothing gets done without the proverbial 'fire in the belly'. Is the issue lack of passion / commitment? Or is it too much demand on performance? What we differ on is the diagnosis and fix needed. There is a problem in the work-world that we all acknowledge and agree on. Not that the world needs one more post taking sides on 'we need more people to work harder' vs 'stop slave driving and let us all do less'. I feel that both sides miss a core point. Work-life and all sorts of balance are popular topics.
