In a university commencement address several years ago, Brian Dyson, CEO of Coca Cola Enterprises, spoke of the relation of work to one’s other commitments:
幾年前,在一所
大學的開幕典禮中,可口可樂的首席執行長布賴恩·戴森講到工作與其他義務的關係: 


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 works is a rubber ball. If you drop it
, it will bounce back. 

想像生命是一場不停丟擲五個球於空中的遊戲。這五個球分別為工作、家庭、健康、朋友
和心靈,而且你很努力地擲著這五個球,不讓它們落地。很快地你會瞭解工作是一個橡皮球。如果你不幸失手落下它,它還是會彈回來。

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? 
但是家庭、健康、朋友和心靈這四個球是用玻璃做成的。一旦你失手落下,它們可能會少了一角,留下無法挽回的記號、刻痕、損壞甚至碎落一地。它們將永遠不會跟以前一樣。你必須瞭解這個道理,並且為平衡你的生命而努力。但要怎麼才做得到呢? 

It depends on your priorities and personal circumstances.
做法會因為每個人的對這幾個球的的重視程度、優先順序及個人情況而異。

But how you should prioritize them to prevent future regrets?  You need to sort out the meaning and goals of your lives.
但如何排序、如何選擇才不會後悔呢?就必須了解你生命中的目標及意義了!
