James Patterson Quote

Imagine life is a game in which you are juggling fiveballs. The balls are called work, family, health, friends,and integrity. And you're keeping all of them in the air.But one day you finally come to understand that work is arubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The otherfour balls-family, health, friends, integrity-are made ofglass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocablyscuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered. And once you trulyunderstand the lesson of the five balls, you will have thebeginnings of balance in your life.
