    Life is something I believe we should enjoy at each and every step,but sometimes pressure makes it difficult to enjoy life and later when we look back we know we did miss life..

  5. Not to mention that success is like riding the tiger - you are always afraid of what will happen if you get off :)

  7. Agree aunty. In this rat race, don't know where we are heading. One small thing I would definitely implement after reading your post is to make sure my kids go and hug their dad when he comes home and say hello. :)

  9. A useful and healthy read Indu. And thanks for the website work life balance.
    There is a sour truth in success . We chase success as long as we see a path but after reaching the final ladder of success, there is absolutely nothing else to life . Life itself becomes a burden . The movie 6 irndhu to 60 varai tamil movie is one example.

  11. Very valid points perfectly applicable to today's world. In the run for success, people often forget what their basic definition of success is. Are you a successful spouse? Are you a successful parent? Success is often seen as a monetary or hierarchical position. Success is not definite , its relative and one needs to stop and think what really matters!
