What are the most important career break reasons?

 


These reasons are, to have the time to learn the true meaning of life and enjoy its beautiful gifts, found in abundance outside the work environment.


Have you forgotten that life's pleasant and exciting surprises, are presented to travellers?


Surprises and nature's strange things told and found in books seem fictitious until they're lived and experienced. So, go ahead, take a career break and find out what life is all about.


Another reason is, so that life will not leave you behind. Life leaves behind the redundant. 


It's an ever changing dynamic world out there. Acquiring a new set of skills keeps you ahead of the game. A new set of skills can hardly be acquired without taking a career break.


"Work is a rubber ball." Gary Keller observed and continued, "If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls- family, health, friends, integrity- are made of glass."


Your family is a glass ball, if you drop it, it could be irrovocably  shattered.  Sometimes to achieve a balanced life, you may need take a career break to spend quality  time with a disintegrating family and strengthen the bond.


You would also need to occasionally spend quality time with true friends to  prove their importance to you. Finding the time to be with friends could be a huge sacrifice that are greatly appreciated.


What about your health? The journey of life takes everyone to the crossroads, where it's unavoidable to take a career break from the stress of work to take care of one's mental health. Most people ignore the need to take a break and continue to work until they break down and become useless to themselves and their loved ones.

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. - Gary Keller

Why is it important to trust each other?

  We lose more by having the habit of not trusting until we have a reason than by choosing to trust first before a reason not to trust any more shows up. Choosing the latter, yes, would lead to unpleasant consequences when those you trust for no reason disappoints. But at least, it would leave the doors to the heart on both ends open, until the heart finds someone trustworthy enough to keep. On the contrary, choosing not trust at all until you have a reason to trust is sure going to make you suspicious of everyone you meet at the first time.  The suspicion could also, lay the foundation to stereotype those who don’t fit into the culture of those you call, “mind”. Suspicion and stereotyping have caused a lot of people to lose opportunities to make great friends and find great team mates to complete them and help them realize their dreams.  It’s not easy for people with difficult-to-trust attitude to change and move in the opposite direction. Making the transition takes t...
