Balance between professionalism and Family is to be maintained in every

individual life, avoiding any of these would create uncertainty in a individual life,
because both gives identification to an individual, it is like railway track, if one of
the track is damaged means there will be every chance for train to be derailed, so as
in life, professionalism & family plays same role.

Professionalism and family can be described as the two sides of the same coin
as both are equally important in one's life. Our profession gives you an individual
identity and financial security on the other hand family gives you an emotional
security. Neglecting any one of these could result in distress in one's life. A balance
has to be maintained between the two, which is very easy to say, but to do it in
practical is very difficult. In today's hitech busy lifestyle one cannot find the time to
spend with his family. In Bangalore we have seen that there is increase in the number
of people going to psychologists to get counseling on how to handle the stress and
tension. The people of today are more inclined towards their profession and hence
they get very little time to spend with their family. They may lead a luxurious life but
there is absence of peace of mind.

Hi all,
Family gives mental strength to a person and the professionalism gives a man
financial strength, and high status (luxurious) lifestyle in society. But if a man has all
things but he didn't have any peace or calmness through out his life means it is utter
waste of earning the money alone. Therefore professionalism and the family play a
vital role in ones life, so we can't avert any one of these. It (professionalism and the
family) looks like two eyes of a man. We cant bear if any one gets lost.

Hello friends,
I agree wid u all. Professionalism as well as family both is very essential for an
individual. One needs to be financially in a good position to achieve any thing, which
also needs the good support from his/her family. But it is not that family support is a
must to achieve some thing. Many great people have become great though they have
less or no support from family.
When it comes to maintaining a balance between the both I think its not
possible in all the cases. As our friend "Vinvish" said it is easy to say but very difficult
to do in practice. And To achieve our goals sometimes we need to sacrifice our family.
Take for example the people in the army, in order to sever the country they have to
stay away from their families. As it is mandatory. Hence balance between the both
depends on ones profession and their ability to maintain that.

Hi all,
I agree with all. Both we need now a days, bcz should need spend time with
family to relax in our machine life. Otherwise as one of friend said to relax we r going
to psychotics. We can spend more time with family. Profession is need but not life is
a profession.
Life is now a full of money.
Life is a full of joy and no need of much more money. Now a days people r moving to
save money and earn money.
Money is needed but limited money is enough for peace of mind.
"Your r the owner of money, not money is the owner for u"

In this modern era, everyone is working like a machine, without considering
their family, Even Many peoples working abroad cannot able to see their
childrens. I found many case where the Childs mom will be introducing his/her
Dad
to
the
child.

A
nice
topic
that
is
eligible
to
debate
,
from
Ramkumar.
OK
let
me
discuss.
As we know in this hurry burry world, everydody is lagging behind taking care of their family
especially the children.What they are doing ?? the parents will leave the children in a
cruch
??
and
in
evening
they
will
get
the
child..
Next case they will leave the child to grow under the guardians grandpa, grandma like that
and weekly once they will go to meet their children.Also they are feeling happy to talk with
their
children
in
mobile.only
voice....
Solutions;
--------1) why the husband and wife are sending away the old people , i mean their parents.Whay
not they decide to live in a joint family..if they will live in a joint family, in evening they can
see
their
children,
in
between
the
senior
citizens
will
take
care...
2) Also plan your weekly schedule what to do with the children ?
if something is getting late in office, try to get permission ahead to avoid last minute hurry
burry..try to finish the work ahead...if not we will maintain a gap with family
3)More
in
a
day
we
will
bw
with
computer,
instead
of
family:
More in a day we will be fingering in keyboard than to handle the children
More in a day we will be hogging the mouse, than to enjoy with family
More in a day we will be talking in moblie, than to express thoughts inside the family
--So friends first give importance to family than to work, even though work load is more try to
have a schedule for a day.Dont let it be failed ...to avoid misunderstanding and all problems
in
the
family
Finally be satisfied with what you have.
Professionalism is not all about being a workaholic. It is all about knowing your priorities and
acting professionally both at the workplace and at home.You can be at office all day and yet
do things that are necessary for your family and you can also be at home all day and do
nothing for the family. People have debated this more often in the recent times as everybody
has very little time with so many things piled up. A professional is person who know "How to
say NO". It is important to develop the habit of saying no. For e.g. if your friend asks you if
you can pick him up from the golf course and you find that your child also needs to be picked
from school and you have some work in office, if you agree to what your friends request, yet
try to complete your work in office get late to pick your friend and end up calling very late to
tell your wife to pick your child that is not professionalism. In the other case, if you say sorry
to your friend saying that you will be tied up with work and need to pick your child, your
friend will surely understand and take the help of any other friend who is available.
Some
questions
we
need
to
ask
then
is:
1 Are the tasks you work on during the day the ones with the highest priority?
2 Do you find yourself completing tasks at the last minute, or asking for extensions?
3
Do
you
set
aside
time
for
planning
and
scheduling?
4 Do you know how much time you are spending on the various jobs you do?
5
How
often
do
you
find
yourself
dealing
with
interruptions?
6 Do you use goal setting to decide what tasks and activities you should work on?
7 Do you leave contingency time in your schedule to deal with "the unexpected"?
8 Do you know whether the tasks you are working on are high, medium, or low value?

9 When you are given a new assignment, do you analyze it for importance and prioritize it
accordingly?
10
Are
you
stressed
about
deadlines
and
commitments?
11 Do distractions often keep you from working on critical tasks?
12 Do you find you have to take work home, in order to get it done?
13
Do
you
prioritize
your
To
Do
list
or
Action
Program?
14 Do you talk with your boss to prioritize the work you're doing?
15 Before you take on a task, do you check that the results will be worth the time put in?
If you find yourself in the higher end you are managing your professional as well as family
life well.
