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

把生活想象成一场游戏，你正在空中摆弄五个球。它们的名字是——工作、家庭、健康、朋友和灵魂——你把所有这些都放在空中。 你很快就会明白，工作是一个橡皮球。 如果你放下它，它会反弹回来。 但其他四个球——家庭、健康、朋友和灵魂——是由玻璃制成的。 如果您掉落其中之一，它们将被不可挽回地磨损、留下记号、刻痕、损坏甚至破碎。 他们永远不会一样。 你必须明白这一点，并努力在你的生活中保持平衡。
