"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. They are 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 balls − Family, Health, Friends and Spirit –they are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it.
Work efficiently during office hours and leave on time. Give required time to your family, friends and have proper rest. Value has a value only if its value is valued."
─ 30 second Speech by Bryan Dyson, Former Coca Cola CEO
