The Story of the Five Balls

The Story of the Five Balls - from "Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas" by James Patterson

Imagine life is a game in which you are juggling five balls. 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 a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.

The other four balls -- Family, Health, Friends, Integrity -- are made of glass. If you drop one these, that ball will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered. And once you truly understand the lesson of the five balls, you will have the beginnings of balance in your life.

I know I need to get more BALANCE in my life. I hope I will remember this.

I also know a lot of people are all working very hard for the company. And while we hope that these work activities become something positive, we all need to have this BALANCE and to a certain extent, set some limits. I have witnessed a couple of the team members on various projects go beyond their own limits, which then creates a new set of problems in getting a project done.

So, let’s remember the lesson of the Five Balls.

Texas RFP joke

Two guys are in the office working on an RFP when one of them collapses.

He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other man pulls out his phone and calls emergency services.

He gasps to the operator: "My friend is dead! What can I do?"

The operator in a calm, soothing voice replies: "Take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead."

There is a silence, then a gun-shot is heard.

Back on the phone, the man says, "OK, now what?"

While working on the "current" RFP response for work, one of my buddies had this moment of disorientation:

got to bed around 2:30, couldn't sleep. popped some benedril to get knocked out, woke at 5:30, disoriented that my clock seemed to be showing the time and not a price.

on the garage front, I've put up a little bit more drywall on the ceiling in the corner (my last row of drywall) and insulated the remaining last 2 rows of rafters. I should finish the drywall install this weekend, and perhaps the last of the plaster/taping Monday or Tuesday. I also purchased some eve vents, in order to keep air ventilating in this new "attic"... So much to do, so little time...

We shall see...
