这个问题,可口可乐前CEO布莱恩·戴森(Bryan Dyson)已经给出了回答,作为可口可乐CEO布莱恩·戴森并没有特别出名的事迹,但是他『五个球』的言论倒是流传很广——
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.
翻译一下:『把生活想象为一个游戏,这个游戏就是抛接5个球,这5个球分别是工作、家庭、健康、朋友和灵魂,你必须让他们都不掉在地上,很快快你就会发现,只有工作是一个橡皮球,如果工作掉在地上,它还会弹起来,而其他四个球——家庭、健康、朋友和灵魂——都是玻璃球,一旦掉在地上,他们就不可逆转地被破坏,甚至是碎裂,永远恢复不了原样,所以你该知道如何努力平衡你的生活了。』
简单说来,除了工作上的事,其他的所有的事都不可以透支,只有工作的事可以放下,其他所有事情都不能放下。
