Book Byte #273 "One Second ahead" by Rasmus Hougaard
Enhance Your Performance at Work with Mindfulness
📣 Curious Quotes from the Author
“Imagine life as a game where you’re juggling five balls in the air. The five balls are work, family, health, friends, and happiness. You’ll soon find out that your work is a rubber ball; if you drop it, it bounces back into your hands. But the other four balls are made of glass. If you drop any of them, they’ll be forever damaged, broken, or completely destroyed. They’ll never be the same again. So work effectively when you’re at work and go home on time. Give the necessary time to your family and your friends and look after yourself. A value only has value if it is valued.
“Real planning requires slowing down, so that you can speed up. It’s an investment in time up front that has significant payback down the road.”
