The Five Balls of Life November 9, 2006

“Imagine life is a game in which you are juggling five balls. The balls are called work, family, health, friends, and integrity. And you’re keeping all of them in the air. But one day you finally come to understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls—family, health, friends, integrity—are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered. And once you understand the lesson of the five balls, you will have the beginnings of balance in your life”.

I’ve just loaded the audio book ‘Suzanne’s Diary For Nicholas’ by James Patterson again to my MP3 player. I had listened to it sometime last year and really liked it. Trying to keep all the balls in the air is not always easy…… I’m trying!
not easy at all…read the book, don’t listen to it. take it all in with your eyes
