From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2008-12-28:

"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them--work, family, health, friends, and spirit--and you're keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls--family, health, friends, and spirit--are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged, or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life." -- Brian G. Dyson, speaking at Georgia Tech's 172nd commencement address in September 1996. Dyson was then Coca-Cola Enterprises president and CEO.

I've heard this before: have you (and/or the QOTD mailing list) done this one already?

Spoken like someone who's never been seriously unemployed -- never had to explain long gaps in a resume, never had to explain why three short-term contracts in a row don't make you a "job-hopper," never had to take an exhausting, demoralising, low-paid temp job to pay the bills, and then had to explain why you hadn't been working in your field for the last yea long...
