§ We work to live. We do not live to work.
§ If you can't be in the job you love, Love the job you're in (or the way you do it)
§ We derive joy at work; joy enriches our life.
§ It is good to stay beyond office hours to get more joy; it is better to knock off and seek other joy.
§ Work does not happen only in the office. It transcends time and space. We ought to have faith that our bosses know that we work. We ought to have the confidence to live up to the faith our bosses have in us.
§ Bosses may email us outside of office hours; it is not expected of us to reply immediately.
§ Life is a game of juggling 5 balls in the air - work, family, health, friends, and spirit. 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.
§ We are the sum total of all our roles in life. We are husband/wife to our spouse, father/mother to our children, brother/sister to our siblings, leader of our followers, follower of our leaders. At the end of it all, every role we play defines who we are and the value we leave behind.
§ The value of life is enhanced when we can share it with another in the context of a family. The family we leave behind may be relished by our next generation.
§ What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.
§ You only live once - but if you live it right, once is enough.
