Balance In Your Life

In a University commencement address Mr. Brian Dyson, CEO of Coca Cola Enterprises, said:

"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.

How? Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.

--Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a Mystery and Today is a gift:
that is why we call it 'The Present'."
