The moment I noticed that his face had changed a bit, he had lost weight and felt overwhelmed; I asked him if everything was ok, and his answer was unconvincing: "Well ... well, you know, as always," he answered; while he continued immersed reading his reports. Apparently, he was busier than ever and did not want to mediate more words. I was already coming with my speeches about taking a break, but then again my subconscious came forward clarifying that he was sick of it. My partner already had time that did not talk as before; in fact, in a very short time he became ill ...
When he could no longer continue his work, he was immediately replaced by another person.
It is appropriate to carry out the following questions:
1. Do you complete extra hours every day to advance on pending work?
2. Do you talk about work even on your days off?
3. Do you not take your days off from vacation because you do not need them?
4. Do you have a thousand excuses for not to rest?
5. Do you prefer loneliness to good company?
Work is important in human being lives, but it is not the only thing.
Life is one, we must live it enjoying that precious gift, the family, and mainly God. Do not become a less happy person by having your work in the first place. Do you know what is difficult to assimilate? That you lost your health because of work ...
These are three thoughts I selected and I want to share them now for you:
• Remember that nothing and nobody is essential. Not a person, not a place, not a job, nothing is vital to live.
Paulo Coelho in "Cerrando Círculos"
• Remember that the abilities of people are not measured by the number of hours they are in a place, but by the quality of the work they do.
Mario UgaldeC at grandespymes
• Remember that work should not become so overwhelming that it generates more stress than satisfaction and fulfillment.
