Good thought... But I feel in today's world, to sustain in the market, one sometimes needs to be ready to overcommit to work. For example, the movie "3 Idiots" speaks a lot about such things and the philosophy of life. Disappointingly, in general, this trend really does not work in this world. So, let us buckle up our shoes and be ready for all the opportunities that knock on our door.
Wish you luck,
Regards,

Dear all,
Following today's world's policy of 'overcommitment' towards work (so-called order of the day, for competition, profit, etc.), my younger brother passed away last month at the age of 39. He suffered a 'brain hemorrhage' while working in the office in the evening. It was purely due to his overcommitment to the job, even at the cost of neglecting his health and family.
Balancing Work and Family Commitments
Well, let's understand clearly that we need to strike a proper balance between commitment to the job (I don't mean to say that we should not be sincere towards work; the issue here is of OVERCOMMITMENT) and commitment towards our family (which includes our social life, our health, and such factors). While overcommitting ourselves to our jobs, we tend to neglect our family, our health, and our social responsibilities.
It's a difficult task in today's 'modern work/life style,' but we need to accomplish it.
Thanks for the post, Dilip.
Best wishes,
Arvind
