Thumbs up The Five Balls

I do not know where the original of this came from. I read it in a book and loved it!

THE FIVE BALLS

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 truly understand the lesson of the five balls, you will have the beginnings of balance in your life.



I finally understand.

Susan

Grasshopper - why so profound at this late in the day. You have to save these for the morning when I can relate to deep thoughts - though I do get your point and it's something we all have to remember. Good Job.
