Was shock this morning coz recieved a call from one of my salesrep weeping asking for 1 week leave. Her sis at a tender age has took her own life. Very sad for her and shock at the same time. Anyway hope that she can rest in peace now.
Was reading one of my friends blog. There is this artical about how we should balance between work and family. Brought me back to the time when i was at Uni. In AIESEC we always conduct interview and one of my favourite question is asking them to prioritize Friends, Family, Studies and AIESEC.
Till now i'm still asking myself the same question. My dear will always ask me this question work more important or she's more important. And my dear of coz your are more important. I work also because of you. hahahah......sorry lar dear readers (paiseh....paiseh). But sometime i tend to get carried away with my work as i felt that it's my responsibility. Responsibility is something that you have commit = promise. So your work is your promise vs family.
If you put it like that then it's all different from Work vs Family. I'm someone who kept my word. So my responsibility is very important for me. I feel that if i neglect my responsibility then many family will suffer. But not till sacrificing my own family. So we have to find the balance between work and family. To me both is important. My responsibility to my salesrep as they have family too and also my family support is equally important. Sound confused huh....
Conclusion, it's how u manage your work.
Work -> Salary -> Family (Happy) -> Support -> Perform in work
Work -> No Time -> Family (Unhappy) -> Arguement -> affect performance in work
The best
Work -> Salary/Managed time -> Happy Family -> Support -> Perform in work.
Now really confused. Okie. Lets face it, we have to work to support our family, just that how we manage our time and fulfill our responsibility to our family and work. TIME MANAGEMENT. To me both equally important.
How about you? any comment?

Easy said than done bro....i guess u have to take all aspects into considerations as u can't please everyone in your life.Actually it also depends on your nature of work,the organisation you are attached with,the mentality and perception of all the people attached to you,family,your dear,your gf,your boses,subordinates etc....
As for me it's quite a tough job managing 40 elderly staff under me,kids to take care,husband away, came back only during weekends,long working hours with meetings mostly at night.just have to adjust our timing to suits everything and everybody but i guess for fixed working hours like you all,it'll be much easier.
It comes back to only one thing. Time management and how we suit ourself to the working hour and family hour.
Used to do that before unfortunately doesn't work at my place here.too many adhocs till u find it a useless effort. anyway i kind of used to that situation now.if not ready,too bad u just got to find another job.
